Life is just better

If you read my previous blogs (some are still here and some I had to take out) you would know my real story. Maybe I said too much that is why I never really felt disclosing my identity here so that I can be more open and vocal about my thoughts. I made life changing decisions for 2011. Definitely things that will be for the books.

Is life better? Yes it is. I feel so blessed with many good things that was given to me for the past months. For the days I go to church and pray...God gave me what I have always been requesting. Healing from pain. I was free from it. It's been months now that I can say I am okay. Was comfortable being alone just loving the sanctuary of my home and my own solitude. I plan for myself and do things for myself and my love ones.

Though having someone would be nice.  Of course I do miss the feeling of being in love. I miss giving out surprises and taking care of someone.The times you call or text someone just to remind them of how special they are. That someone who is your driving force and support group of 1. If God grants it then I just consider it as a bonus.

Happiness is a perspective and I changed it. I try to see the good things in every bad situation. Appreciate everything that surrounds me. Made more friends and been traveling. Take care of myself more and eat healthier. I just prayed harder and been nicer.  Life has been good to me and I'm just happier. I can't complain. =)

Journey Continuous: Tagaytay

Another restless weekend...my feet itching to travel. Where to go? A hint of cool air in a tropical country is like rain in a desert. Weekend galavanting with CTA. Thought of a place that is close to Manila…a destination I can drive…we ended up in Tagaytay. So our morning started with breakfast before we left then off we go at 11am. From EDSA take SLEX go straight and exit at Sta Rosa then go straight all the way to Tagaytay City.

 • First Stop: Cliff House for lunchie. There are several selections in the area but you have to wait to be seated since there are many people who usually goes here to eat especially over the weekend. You get the feel of California dining. The view and the cool wind was a conducive to relaxing and you won’t even notice the time pass by. They serve good Italian food and price is reasonable. Definitely never miss this on your next trip. Price: P150-400 each dish. Definitely a must try are their pasta, risotto and smoothies.

• Next Stop: People’s Park in The Sky. Just to get a view of Tagaytay. They say this is the highest peak in the area and you get a good view of everything. It was breath taking since it’s past 4PM. We stayed there until it’s almost sunset. My favorite time of the day. There are several souvenir shops there that sell t-shirts (cost around P140-150) and crafts. Best time to visit is during the weekdays and during late afternoon. Make sure to go back in downtown before the sunset since the zigzag roads don’t have street lights and place gets foggy at night.

• Last Stop: Bag of Beans. It is almost dark and we had to do another stop. I have been meaning to eat at this restaurant to try their Shepherd’s Pie. We weren’t hungry but we just can’t resist trying. So we ordered tea and pie for a light meal before heading back to Manila. It was just okay. The mashed potato was kinda dry and I expected more from them. The place is cozy and you get the feeling of countryside.

A good weekend place to explore...good food, nice scenery and cold weather. If you just want to get away from the stress of the city this is the place to go..and you can almost touch the sky. Good trip!
