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. I started this blog as an alternative to talking to my mom who died so suddenly. It has evolved since then as an online journal for my family's adventures and misadventures - our travels, our dining out, our entertainment and so much more! Feel free to leave your reactions :)

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 :)
