Every Christmas , our family has a cherished tradition: gathering for a reunion to celebrate the holidays and commemorate the birth of our maternal grandmother, Nanay Dideng, in their ancestral home. Alongside honoring her memory, this occasion has always been intertwined with the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth. However, during the pandemic, restrictions on gatherings forced us to rethink our traditions to keep everyone safe. After the pandemic, our family decided to embrace a change by celebrating Christmas exclusively with our immediate family. This shift led us to Pine Suites in Tagaytay City, where we created new memories. Our family of four stayed in our cozy " crib ," while my siblings, mother, nephews, and nieces shared two-bedroom units rented from Shesam . Pine Suites has become our go-to spot for unwinding and enjoying relaxing staycations. Surrounded by pine trees, the property offers a serene, child-friendly atmosphere complete with a playground and a swimmin...

  An unfortunate staycation experience inspired our family to acquire a condominium unit in Tagaytay as both our vacation house and a source of passive income. Initially, we planned to acquire a lot near our residence, but our plans shifted when our Aunt Elpy offered a preselling condominium unit she had learned about from a registered broker, Ms. Joy. While we were initially hesitant about the complexities of owning a condominium, issues with the prospective lot owner led us to explore this option seriously. The unit is located on Bonifacio Drive, Brgy. Silang Crossing West, Tagaytay. The developer, owned by a reputable political family, has a credible track record, assuring us the project would push through. At the time of our visit, the first tower was already constructed, with plans for a second tower underway. However, the model unit was situated in a different barangay where the developer’s sister subdivision is located. Despite its compact size (approximately 23.7 square met...

Our family ventured into the cinematic world of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2024, watching "The Kingdom" and "Espantaho." Here's our take: "The Kingdom" (3/5 stars) Vic Sotto and Piolo Pascual's alternate history film explores a Philippines untouched by colonization. Sotto shines in an unconventional role, while Pascual delivers his signature excellence. Sue Ramirez outperforms Kristine Reyes, and Sid Lucero's brief appearance impresses. The movie's potential is hindered by a concise script, limiting the actors' showcase. Overall, "The Kingdom" sparks intriguing discussions, but its brevity falls short. "Espantaho" (4/5 stars) Judy Ann Santos, Lorna Tolentino, Chanda Romero, Donna, and Eugene Domingo dazzle in this chilling thriller. Our younger viewers were genuinely frightened, while adults may find the plot somewhat predictable – until the jaw-dropping finale. The cast's superb performances elevat...

The excitement was palpable, especially since most of us were first-time visitors. Planning and Preparation Months of meticulous planning and budgeting paid off as we set off on our adventure. We secured a cozy rental property owned by a colleague (@Sophiya's Place), providing the perfect haven for our family.
