The Mexican Restaurant

Since we arrived here two weeks ago, i haven't tried cooking rice or any dishes at home. We're out of the house most of the time so we just eat in the restaurant everyday.

Today, we have lunch at Poquito Mas, a mexican restaurant at Paseo. Their buffet was superb with more or less twenty dishes to choose from. Appetizers, soup and dessert are also available.




Though its a mexican restaurant, they also served fipinó dishes like dipped in cheese crispy kangkong, adobo, fried tilapia, sinangag etc.

Body Pampering

While waiting for the delivery of our terrace couch, we decided again to pamper ourselves. So we drive to SM santa rosa for a much needed relaxing massage. The massage girls are really competent and we feel like being rejuvinated.

We liked very much our customized king size couch for out terrace that come also with two single chairs, center table, two side table, cushions and telephone table. Our 60 square meters terrace is now complete with furnitures and dirty kitchen.

Garden Project

For the past days, we're in a plant and tree hunting mode. We're looking for nice green thing for our future garden. We've been to three landscapers but their price is out of the world.

So we decided to put first garden soils and blue grass and concentrate on the garden project when we're here in november.

The Public Market

In search of a cotton fabric for Dirk's short pants, we try the binan public market. There are lots of stalls but they're not selling cotton fabrics for jogging pants or t-shirt. They advised us to go to divisoria for that material. Our trip was not wasted because we found a glass and aluminum shop that will supply us with window screen and sliding door for our closet.

While browsing the area, we found this barber shop and the haircut is just 15 pesos, very cheap, isn't it???

Cool mom in Ukay-Ukay

After visiting my daughter in the hospital, i saw an ukay ukay store nearby. I really have no chance of going to any ukay ukay store because of time constraints. I just browse around and didnt buy any clothes. The store offered very cheap clothes and womens accessories. In this time of crisis, people are just being practical.

They also sell shoes and bags.

Monday Adventure

Today, we have a sumptuous lunch at Kingbee, the new chinese restaurant opposite paseo de santa rosa. We then drive to tagaytay to order two beds and couch for our terrace. My two daughters enjoyed very much shopping for fruits. I thought the 4 pineapple for 100 pesos is very cheap, but they were able to buy the same size for only 10 pesos each.

The girls had fun posing in one of the furniture store

Southforbes Tour

Today, we toured around the southforbes area together with my sister who's also here for a vacation. At tokyo mansion, we chanced upon some movie stars of TV 5 taping for Lipgloss. I don't have any idea if its a teleseries or just a tv program.

One of the star, rosanna roces was kind enough for a photo ops with cool mom. She is half German and Filipina and even tried to speak the german language.

Take note of the skin color difference but i'm proud of my brown color. From villas, to tokyo, we then proceeded to bali mansion.

We also showed her the chateau de paris houses and was surprised of the price.

Our last stop was at southforbes golf terraces. It's very near the golf course and there are at least 30 units, 4 of shich still not sold.
