Road trip

whoa... i spent a fortune just for the fare going to (and from) tagaytay. well, actually, geca and i made a few stops before going there. we had to drop by st. cabrini to get the license numbers of our preceptors for our IVT cases. thank God i'm all done with it! :)

Anyway, it was noon and was scorching hot! the weather is becoming very confusing nowadays. on our way to tagaytay, dark clouds piled up in the sky and started to drizzle... so i thought "NOOOOOO. i neeeed the suuuun!!!"... mother nature heard me and made the rain stop.... (it was not really raining in some parts of the expressway!)

originally, we were supposed to go to nasugbu, batangas. we decided not to pursue it since it's late in the afternoon. so, we stayed in tagaytay instead. Shooting wass my main goal for this trip. i wanted to take photos of the taal lake and the mountains. guess what? the scene was hazy! *grrr* i was expecting the sun to light up the scene and give me a gorgeous landscape. sorry me. *hrmp*

i think this shot is pretty interesting. hehe

i haven't transferred the pictures in my PC. i have yet to discover if i did get nice shots. i hope i did!

where did we go? we went to the "palace in the sky"... palace? you call that palace? hahaha! it's more like "ruins in the sky"! Sayang. they should have taken care of the place. what a waste! the view should have been great if i went there in the morning (i guess). Next time, i shall.

overlooking from the palace in the sky. they look like toys. :)

the walk going down from the palace was better than being at the palace! there was ride going back to the market except the over-priced tricycle. no way will pay P80.00 just for a short ride??? we started to walk and felt the cool breeze of the place. the view was quite awesome too. :) the walk was indeed very short! we saw jeepneys! good thing we didn't pay 80 pesos. that's the fare going back to laguna already. we were supposed to go to 'picnic grove' and 'our Lady of Manawag' but decided not to 'cause we might miss the last trip going home. "Gala nalang tayo sa Paseo." and off to paseo, we were. :) Geez, i fell asleep in the van! yikes!

I told myself i'm not eating out.... sorry, but i did. *spank*.... yellow cab's spaghetti and meat balls + a 10 inch cheese pizza were for dinner. BUSOOOG! i went home with a fat tummy and a thin wallet.

it was fun. thanks geca, for the company. :)

  1. There's a short cut to Canlubang at the foot of Palace in the Sky (opposite the entrance to Tagaytay Highlands). Its more of a rough road though and you'd be going down the ridge literally.. worth the adventure, you'd also be passing by the old Marcos Mansion in Canlubang too. =)
