Tagaytay Escapade

Note: This post is dated September 06, 2014

I very much enjoyed this day! :D We went to Tagaytay and sobrang napakahaba ng araw dahil ang dami naming ginawa. :) Tagaytay is actually a common place to tourists and even for the locals. But even so, the memories can never be common. Meron at meron paring bagong memories na makukuha natin sa isang lugar kahit na paulit-ulit na tayong maparoon. And, I’ve been to Tagaytay a couple of times already but because of this day, it seems like it was the first time I really enjoyed the place. Praise God for all the blessings that He had been showing us. This trip is exclusive for the primary leaders of the church but due to some adjustments, some beloveds came. :)

So I went to Tagaytay with my PLMCI family. PLMCI stands for Provident Lord Mission Church International. It is our church, obviously. Haha. These are some of my sisters and mothers in the Lord and I am not in the pic for I was the one who took it. Perks of being the camera lady. We are so beautiful and I am so proud and blessed with this family. This picture is taken before we leave Taguig City.

Woot woot. Let me introduce to you the camera-magnet of the day. Haha. He’s Kerby. One of our guitarist. He seems to enjoy being the subject of every camera.

So nagstop-over kami sa McDo to eat brunch. And that is the pile of all the pancakes that we ate. Wala nang mga laman yan so no need to worry. Medyo madami kaming umalis kaya maraming naka-pile up na paper containers. Haha. That is Camille. :)  One of our singer. :)

This day wouldn’t be possible without God using this man. He is kuya Andy. :) He loves to travel, I guess. Haha. He came somewhere in between the east and west of the world and now that he’s back in the Philippines, he came again to travel but this time with us. :) His life is a real mirror of God’s goodness and wherever he went, he really radiates God’s light and blessings. We are blessed to have him. :) Beside him, on the right, is nanay Vilma. She is Mark’s mother. Mark is a friend of ours. Unfortunately he wouldn’t be able to be with us for he is on sea. He is a captain, in the making. Haha. And I am proud of him. :) On kuya Andy’s left is kuya Jaymon, our drummer.

Isa sa mga moments na sobrang ikinatuwa ko ay ang mga photo bombers. Hahaha. Pi-picturan ko lang talaga dapat si ate Meilen then may mga bigla nalang sumulpot. On the first picture was kuya Andy and Kuya Jonel, on the second still was kuya Andy, and Fabi. Sa pangatlong picture, I don’t know if the girls are already aware the guys are behind them. Anyway, the pictures show kung gaano kami kasaya nung araw na yan. God really blessed me with such a very joyful spiritual family. Marami mang problemang pinagdadaanan, hindi naman mahahalata sa bawat ngiting meron ang bawat isa. :)

Finally, I’ve shown in the picture. Heto kami ulit. Together with my sisters in the Lord. :)

And finally, we are here! Hello Taal Lake, it’s been a long time since we last met. Haha. Favorite ko ‘tong picture na ‘to kasi I was amazed that it did look amazing nung nai-transfer na sa PC. Napakamaliwanag sa place and I didn’t really expect na makakakuha ako ng magandang view ng Taal Volcano. We are also blessed kasi hindi umulan. Praise God. Contradicting to what the news says na uulan sa weekends. But here we are, enjoying the bright sunny day at Taal, Batangas. :)

It’s good to travel once in a while. And travelling doesn’t mean na dapat malayo. Tagaytay is very malapit, for us. Napaka-busy ng buhay sa Maynila and besides the pollution we get from the city, ang dami daming problemang ma-e-encounter natin araw-araw. This day let me be one with nature and with God. As I look at God’s magnificient brilliant Creation, I realized, again, kung gaano Siya ka-amazing. He can create such a wonderful world, kaya Niya rin tayong bigyan ng napakagandang future. Which makes me remember my dreams. I had so much in mind and pursuing my profession had been so difficult for me during the past days. But God again let me realize that He is able to provide me a good future and I should just hang on Him. :)

So we spent most of the day with lots of mind games and jokes. Corny jokes. Haha. I never really enjoyed the mind games. Tinatamad kasi akong mag-isip. Pero the best talaga yung mga corny jokes that we had and hanggang huli, habang pauwi, we played Pinoy Henyo. Such a wonderful day, indeed. :)

Our last stop was on Starbucks. Naging napakaingay ng café dahil sa aming naglalaro ng Pinoy Henyo. Riot talaga. Haha. Pero we enjoyed it talaga. Wala na kong masasabi pa sa araw na ‘to. Iba talaga pagkasama mo yung mga taong importante sayo at mga taong mahal mo. Hindi man kayo related by blood, Jesus’s blood made you all related. And I am so much blessed to be with them. :)
