The Farm Tour at Gourmet Farms Estate

08.26.2013 by Leah //

If you recall from my post on our tour of St. Joseph's Sanctuary at Gourmet Farms, I mentioned about the Farm Tour that followed after that.  The Interactive Farm Tour is one of Gourmet Farms' attractions that is fast becoming popular, thanks to its recent feature on Kris TV: Since we were there as walk-in visitors (and there are no farm tours on weekends), we were not ...

St. Joseph’s Sanctuary at Gourmet Farms

08.09.2013 by Leah //

Muslim communities from all over the world celebrated the Feast of Ramadan (Eid’l Fitr) this week with prayers and feasts afterwards (here in the Philippines the celebration is today, Friday, which is a regular holiday).  This celebration marked the end of the month-long observance of fasting and spiritual reflection, known as Ramadan. The observance of Ramadan always remind ... READ MORE

A Sunday Well Spent

08.04.2013 by Leah //

I can't believe it's gonna be Monday already.  It felt like I had only a day off from work this week because I worked at home yesterday to finish a policy paper that's due before the 15th of this month. It's a good thing AJ scheduled the car check-up also yesterday so we decided to take it easy and just stay at home.  We cooked dinner and enjoyed the Royce Nama Chocolate as ... READ MORE

A Different Dining Room at Gourmet Farms

07.21.2013 by Leah //

Three (3) Sundays ago, AJ and I went to Silang, Cavite with my good friend and kumare, Chel and her mom, Tita Chit.   We were there on a "secret mission" (will tell you when it's a done deal hehe!) and Tita Chit and Chel invited us to have lunch at The Dining Room at Gourmet Farms. It was my first time to be there, and I was totally "enchanted" by the place.   I love the ... READ MORE

Our Home Away from Home at Puerto Princesa: RAQ Pensionne

07.02.2013 by Leah //

RAQ Pensionne was our 'home away from home' during our 4-days, 3-nights vacation in Puerto Princesa, Palawan last May.  It was also here where I stayed when I first visited Palawan in 2006 - for work.  The 3-floor pension house is filled mostly with wooden furniture and this reminded me so much of my lola's house in Batangas.  That's maybe the reason why I immediately felt 'at ...

Summer Memories at Dos Palmas

06.24.2013 by Leah //

The last full day of our stay in Palawas was spent at Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa.   I almost didn't push through with our booking here for a day tour because of this unfortunate incident that happened there some years ago which, am sure, most of us are still aware of. Also, we already have island hopping activities with the Honda Bay Tour,  which was scheduled ahead of ... READ MORE

Puerto Princesa Day Tour

06.18.2013 by Leah //

I still have some stories left from our Palawan vacation, and up until now I am not yet done editing pictures(!).  Not that there's so many of them, but my day job has been demanding these past weeks, not to mention the fact that the rainy season has officially started and that means braving hours and hours of traffic on the way home (again!). In fact, it already started ... READ MORE

A Magical Tour of the Puerto Princesa Underground River

06.08.2013 by Leah //

I've seen the Underground River during my first trip to Palawan in 2006.  But I have no camera back then so everything I remember about our exploration trip at the subterranean river I've committed to memory. That's why I made sure to include the Underground River trip at our tour package in Palawan.  Since Underground River (more formally called as "Puerto Princesa ... READ MORE
