Weekend Getaway

Last week my teammate invited me to go to Tagaytay and then Batangas for the weekend. The first thing I thought was a weekend shooting session. So Weekend came, I was a bit late since I have Tennis practice in the morning.

First destination: Lunch at Tagaytay. There were 6 of us. Me, Hender, Amiel, Jean, Ice, and Hazel. Upon arrival we had to pickup Amiel and Hazel. Tagaytay is the home of Sinigang na Bulalo so we decided we had to eat the specialty for this place. We chanced upon Green ATS Bulalohan and it is here that we treated our tummies with Sinigang na Bulalo, Fried Tilapia fish, and Fried Tawilis fish.

Second on the list is Sonya's Garden.This was supposed to be Sonya’s private paradise, open only to family and friends and eventually, friends of friends. But after much prodding from all who have enjoyed the country living experience to share with more people what otherwise would have been her retirement lifestyle, she finally but reluctantly relented. In February of 1998, she opened the doors of her secret garden to the public in time for Valentine’s Day. This venue was also famous for wedding receptions, and this weekend was not an exception. There were 2 Wedding receptions that time and the garden has been rigged for romantic poses. This was when Me and Hender clicked away.

Lastly we wanted to visit Ice's resort in Batangas so we head on out to Good Luck Beach Resort for some fun in the sun, a little bit of swimming, drinking session with a little bit of sound tripping, and a whole lot of picture taking. And did I mention a lot of fun? Dinner time came and we were treated to a yummy Batangas style Beef Tapa and Fish Ginataan at Ice's home 10 minutes from the resort.

Thanks to Ice for the invite and to Hender for the Ride. And to Amiel, Hazel, and Jean for the great time. We should do this again.

Until the Next "Lakwatcha" Sessions!
