Driving Directions to Baguio via TPLEX and Kennon Road

26 September 2016




If you're coming from Manila, the ideal way to start your journey to Baguio is via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) with Balintawak as your entry point.  We paid P55 at the Toll Gate since we were driving a Class 1 vehicle.  From here to Baguio, you will drive more than 230 kilometers for about 4 hours.  There are many gasoline stations with restaurants, shops and restrooms along the way should you feel the need to refuel, dine, shop or use the restrooms.

Update:  Via Marcos Highway with 2018 Toll Fees

Daniel's 2nd birthday at Philamlife Village Clubhouse, Las Pinas

25 September 2016

We went to Philamlife Village Clubhouse in Las Pinas to celebrate Daniel's 2nd birthday.  We've always considered our family lucky for being invited to Brian and Donna's celebratory milestones with Daniel, their child.  So, the venue may be far and it may have been a long drive but the journey was definitely worth it. Thanks Brian and Donna for always inviting us to your celebrations :)  Happy birthday Daniel! :D

Tokyo Tokyo's new Makirrito is a Delight!

22 September 2016

When we do our grocery shopping at Robinsons Otis, most of the time we end up eating at Tokyo Tokyo because we love their dishes. First, we love Japanese food.  Second, they're delicious! and Third, they're affordable.  Also, they're convenient because they're just right there :)

On our usual jaunt for dinner after grocery shopping, we spotted something new on the menu - MAKIRRITO!  It's a maki upsized into a burrito! :)  There were two flavors - Samurai Karaage and California Tempura.  See how the kids liked them :)

Just today, I purchased two Deal Grocer coupons for the following Getaway Deal.  It's for a "Cozy Baguio Stay for 3 in a Deluxe Suite with Breakfast" at the C Boutique Hotel.  Each coupon was worth P3,490 per night.  I bought them because I've always wanted to bring the kids to Baguio and with this deal, I could make this wish into a reality.

Purchased two Philips Jelly LED Table Lamp from Lazada

20 September 2016

I recently bought 2 Philips Jelly LED Table Lamps from Lazada.  I found the process efficient, easy, professional and hassle-free.  I took a couple of days to test the lamps before I wrote this post so at least I could actually say that it works. I'll describe the process for those of you who are a bit leery of online shopping (yeah, I was one of you) and describe how it went when I plugged in our two Philips Jelly LED Table Lamp.
