Reminiscin 2011 Travels

TAGAYTAY
My first trip for 2011 (not actually a trip, but hey I was out of Manila, right? haha) For every problem, for every heartache, or even just catching up, tagaytay is the quick fix to cool you down.

sah, joy and tin






PAMPANGA~CLARK hot air balloon festival
The festival of everything that flies, from kites, planes and balloons. Its also a good opportunity for photographers to take pictures. I would love to ride a hot air balloon but when I learned its more than P5,000 for 30 minutes, I thought, wtf?!?




 
CEBU
Bantayan Cebu didnt impress me much, to be honest. Maybe because the beach wasn't that perfect because of the weather but I loved the Ogtong cave, the "DO NOT ENTER" sign didnt stop me from taking a dip.

Ogtong Cave, Bantayan Cebu



Bantayan Island, Cebu

Sta Fe Resort Bantayan Cebu
BOHOL
When I try to recall our trip to Bohol, the first thing that comes to mind are the ferry trips (from Cebu) I learned to always have chips in your bag, always be ready with a gum and charge your batteries cause you'll need your phone to kill boredom.

QUEZON-LUCBAN~PAHIYAS FESTIVAL
With my false sickness, I was able to attend this festival. hehe Its just a one day festival but it was so tiring!

GUIMARAS
I loved the mangoes we bought from Guimaras, they were really sweet. What I cant forget is the Costa Aguada Resort, not because I liked it there but because I wouldnt go back there anymore or even recommend it to friends.haha

ILOILO
From Guimaras, we went back to Ilo-Ilo to experience the joys of city living once again. I soooOOo loved the Butterscotch from Biscocho house and Afriques Pizza!

Westown Hotel


MARINDUQUE~BELLAROCCA
Six star hotel and resort baby! Well what more can I say? 








Santorini?

wind surfing

 CDO
White water rafting is so cool! Everyone should try it. It would be so much fun it the raft would over turn believe me.






CAMIGUIN
Visiting white island is the best part of the Camiguin trip. Its serves true to its name. White sand beach and clear waters!


 


Katibawasan Falls
PANGASINAN~HUNDRED ISLANDS
My last trip for the year, it was just a quick tripand I got to visit 2 islands! haha






Johnny Rockets

Finding a place to eat lunch at The Fort Strip one sunday morning, we came across Johnny Rockets near Burgos Circle. I was craving for burger and fries.Perfect!

Chuck's Steakhouse


When it comes to food court dining, i love sizzlers. My most favorite? Chucks' @Landmark Food Court.

ready to eat


PORTER HOUSE P110




   





PORKCHOP W/ EGG P69

another must try would be their burger steak. Meals ranges from P69.00-P110.00. So next time you visit Landmark food court and cant decide on what to get for lunch or dinner you can try Chucks=)

Pasto, Italian Cafe

My love for pizza and pasta makes me want to check out every resto that offers it and find out where the best pizza and pasta can be found. I cant help it. May it be red sauce or cream based, I'm always craving for them.

So one day with a lot of catching up to do with my friends, we went to one Italian restaurant in Paseo Center, Ayala Makati.






I took a picture of the menu (at least part of it) so you can check other food that they serve aside from what were having.





 Pasta ranges from Php 200-300. Pizzas are also from Php 200-300. Here's what we ordered.

best seller PASTA CREMOSO P255


SEAFOOD MARINARA P295
 
EL CARNI PIZZA P295

 The Verdict:

I loved everything that we ordered. I love the Pasta Cremoso score: 9/10 and I know that I would be thinking about this restaurant when I crave for cream based pasta. Though Im not a fan of seafood pastas, I also liked the seafood marinara score: 8/10. The pizza is above average for me with a score of  7/10.

I definitely recommend this restaurant and I would come back soon to check other food on the menu.
