the weekend that was

What a busy, tiring yet happy weekend it was! Let me recount the highlights:

Friday: After office, went straight to Nasugbu, Batangas with my hubby (minus, baby AJ - which made me miss him to death) to celebrate Abigail's 3rd Birthday (my niece-in-law). I bought her follow the color coloring books and crayons which she opened as soon as it was handed to her and started to color a minute after. It was so cute to see her color. When the picture does not have any similar colors in her crayola, she colors them all with the same thing...can you imagine a yellow colored Dora from head to foot? And tries to erase the colors that goes out of line. Every art work becomes a masterpiece when its done by a 3 year old.

Oh did I mention its our anniversary on Sunday? Anyway, there are more highlights after this but its too R18 to be posted here...hehehhe!

Saturday: From Nasugbu, we stopped over at Mahogany market in Tagaytay to buy some fruits and veggies. The piƱas are so deliciously sweet and cheap ( 8 for P100), Ubod (for lumpia) only P25/kilo ( its usually P50 in Manila markets), Langka (P20/kilo), fresh buko for 10 pesos each (which sells at 15 pesos at the Talipapa), fresh lettuce for 30 pesos (1/4kilo) and passion fruit for P20 pesos (1kilo). This place is highly recommended for all. So if you'll be passing by Tagaytay.. do make a stop over at Mahogany Market. It's gonna be worth your time.

After Mahogany Market, our next stop was Cafe Lupe. Since its our 1st year anniversary tomorrow, we decided to celebrate it in advance since its our only chance to be alone.

The food was ok. They have Filipino/Illongo cuisines on the menu but their specialty are Mexican so we ordered for Tres Mexicans (a platter consists of buffalo wings, cheese quesadillas, beef taco and salsa) recommended by the attendant and beef fajitas. Loved the quesadillas and the taco (so cheesy!) though the beef on the taco was not ground beef (I like ground beef on my tacos). The buffalo wings were so spicy but relatively delicious. The fajitas are expensive compare to the fajitas at Mexicali and they only serve it with salsa, unlike at Mexicali, the fajitas comes with salsa, guacamole, cheese and sour cream. So if your craving for fajitas and on a budget, I highly recommend Mexicali over Cafe Lupe's anytime. But in fairness to Cafe Lupe, Adrian and I had satisfied stomachs when we left the resto and the attendants were pleasant and courteous.

We wanted to have coffee after our quick bite but since we are both full and can no longer accommodate even a small size cafe latte, we just pose for a souvenir photo with a mime who was standing outside starbucks.

Sunday: We woke up at 3am to pick up my brother from the airport. He's arriving from Singapore for a vacation and to attend AJ's christening next week. His flight was delayed so we waited until 5pm at the airport. Oh! its our anniversary and we forgot to greet each other..maybe because we were awaken by the alarm clock and not by our own body clock. We actually didn't do anything the whole day.. we just stayed at home and sleep the whole day...too tired to celebrate I guess.. It was nice though that we had a our time alone the day before.

Some pics of our road trip to Tagaytay.
