A Girl’s Notebook :)

When I was searching the net and looking for a certain chuch that we’d been during our trip to Tagaytay about few years ago, I came across this picture of a castle that I have seen when my family had an outing in one of the beaches in Nasugbu, Batangas. When my team captain, Grace, saw the picture she said that it’s something like a theme park. I searched about it and found out that it is called Fantsy World. It is located in located high above a mountain ridge in Barangay Mayasang, Lemery, Batangas.

I found out that this is one is actually a membership club. Only members who purchase shares will be able to enjoy its facilities. According to my research, a share will cost a buyer around Php 185,000.00. I tried to find their website but didn’t find any. 

Oh well, maybe we can just take a trip around it as perspective buyers. Who knows, I may own a share someday and enjoy its services and amenities.

My friends Manoline, Arview, Khaki and Marez took a day off at Tagaytay City yesterday. I asked them to buy a Señorita banana for me when they get there. And, they were so thoughtful that they didn’t forget it. Though it’s kinda heavy Thanks guys!

My last visit to Tagaytay was about 3-4 years ago. I don’t really remember. But it was in May. My sister who is a member of CFCA had a birthday outing then. She was born on May 28 and so she was one of the birthday celebrants of the month. My mother used to be an assistant coordinator. I actually wasn’t part of the trip but, mama told me to dress up and have my bag ready for something like a “chance passenger”. If not all celebrants will come then I will have a spot. Luckily, I was able to join them.

We took C5 road then to Alabang so the trip is shorter than an hour. Tagaytay City is part of Cavite province. It is famous not only because of its cool climate but because, there lies the smallest volcano in the world, Taal Volcano. It has been said that the “volcano” which is visible to the human’s eye is actually the creater of a big volcano which is submerged within the Taal Lake. There are some who call it a volcano within a volcano.

My mother had a countless visits there and she that she never had a clear view of the volcano until our visit there. She said that I was lucky to see the volcano in clear view. 

On our way to Tagaytay we passed by a church which I forgot the name. I’m not sure if it’s the Calaruega but I doubt it. It is just a small church but the ambiance is very solemn. I even told myself then that I would like to get married there.

We first went to People’s Park in the Sky. It used to be called Palace in the Sky.  Stories said that it was built for the Marcoses during President Marcos regime as their rest house.

The park overlooks Tagaytay city. It was very relaxing there and you can really spend time for “emote” moments.

Our next stop then was Picnic Grove, for we had our lunch there.

I even volunteered in grilling the chicken and tilapia so the celebrants can enjoy the place. 

When it was time to go home, we dropped by the Pink Sisters convent. Since, it was my first time to be there, I uttered a prayer and my wishes. I don’t even remember what my wishes are. But Pau told me that her wishes came true. :)

We also went to Christ the King seminary which is just beside the convent. My Tito Nonoy used to be a seminarian and he had a lot of unforgettable memories there.

I really enjoyed my visit there. Special thanks to Ma’am Aliw and Kuya Nelson for allowing me to join the trip.

Well, I would definitely go back there. This time it will be with my little girl and her daddy.
