When we reached Baguio City, we first headed to our hotel, C Boutique Hotel Baguio near Mines View Park to check-in. But our room wasn't ready yet so we headed to the nearest tourist attraction which was, of course, Mines View Park. It was the first time for the kids to visit this destination and they were pretty excited. Kids' first visit to Mines View Park

Visiting Cafe in the Sky in Benguet
26 September 2016
When we reached Baguio, we didn't immediately go to our hotel because it was too early to check in. Instead, Patrick drove us quite a ways to the location called Cafe in the Sky in Sto. Tomas, Benguet. He said that it was a popular destination because of the stunning views from atop the mountain. We didn't anticipate what we would find when we got there.
First Stop on the way to Baguio: Petron Lakeshore, NLEX Northbound, Mexico, Pampanga
26 September 2016
Leaving as early as 6AM, it's expected that somewhere along the long NLEX route, the kids are bound to get hungry. We avoided the crowded gas station/service facilities most proximate to the Balintawak Toll Gate and instead went straight to the Petron Lakeshore facility which was closer to the SCTEX.

Review: Exceptional stay at C Boutique Hotel Baguio
26 - 28 September 2016
I discovered C Boutique Hotel from the Deal Grocer site when they had a Getaway Deal (Cozy Baguio Stay for 3 in a Deluxe Suite with Breakfast) which I subsequently purchased. All I can say is that I don't regret my purchase because our stay was exceptionally satisfying. The location, the room, the breakfast and most importantly, the service, all contributed to an enjoyable stay.

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 :)

Purchased "Cozy Baguio Stay for 3 in a Deluxe Suite with Breakfast" coupons from Deal Grocer
19 September 2016
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.

16 September 2016
The Manila International Book Fair is among the many annual events that we look forward to as a family. This year's MIBF is held at the SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia from Sept 14-18, 2016, from 10AM - 8PM. Admission Fees are P20 (Adults) and P15 for Seniors, PWD, and kids below 4 feet. I think Students also get a discount :)
We were able to bring home several books for the kids and possibly early Christmas gifts for close friends ;)
Check out what we saw at the Book Fair!
