Family Outing and Bonding

It was such a great feeling to bond with family members away from the busy city life and to beat the summer heat. Yesterday, we did drive to Nasugbu, Batangas for some needed R&R rest and recreation. We did go to Terrazas and Peninsula de Punta Fuego, an exclusive beach resort in which our friends, the Hasketts are members of the club. We enjoyed very much the beach and the surrounding view. After soaking in the blue waters, we then proceed to RSM in tagaytay for dinner. Thanks again to the Hasketts, Ehm-ehm, Berth and to my brother in law, Joey for the treat.

My Marang

Next to Durian, the Marang is another signature fruit of Davao. I'm not a fruit lover and only learned about this during our vacation in Davao. Its very delicious and the small fleshy seeds inside are also easier to pick off from fruit. I was surprised to find this fruit in our market and bought one. The vendor told me to put water in it to make it ripe but unluckily maybe i put too much or less water, and the fruit gone kaputt.

Lunch at Vivere Skyline

We just came back from a sumptuous lunch at the Skyline Bar and Restaurant on the roof deck (31st floor) of Vivere Suites Hotel. It was nice having lunch there overlooking the Alabang commercial area and Laguna de Bay. The pool also completed the perfect ambience and my only complain is that the foods are a little bit expensive.

Our Favorites

Shakeys becomes our favorite lunchtime haven almost everyday. Dirk liked very much the Heros classic sandwich with french fries while we always ordered bunch of lunch or chicken and pasta. By the way, while buying some fruits in our market here, i was surprised to see my favorite Marang fruits. I learned about this fruit during our Davao trip and it really tastes good.

Bonding at Salon

MJ, a good neighbor friend of ours opened today her new business venture, Honeybunch Beauty Salon at Bel-Air 2. We are the very first customers so Dirk got a haircut for free. My friends also got fifty percent discount on hair treatments and coloring. As a friend, i just wish her all the best not only on her beauty salon but to her other businesses as well.
