Tagaytay City, Cavite

We were suppose to go to Enchanted Kingdom but later found out that there is a long line of traffic going to Enchanted Kingdom and we can imagine how jampacked the place is. We then reached a consensus to go to Tagaytay instead.

Tagaytay is really windy and very very cold during this time of the year. We were already wearing jackets already, zipped up to nearly engulfing our bodies with the jackets we own but we still feel cold. Talk about cold here in the Philippines, I guess that was around 14-16 degrees if I am not mistaken plus the very windy atmosphere makes it even more chilly.

Tagaytay is around 1 hr to 1hr and 30 mins drive away from Manila. Take the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and exit at Sta. Rosa. After the tollgate, turn right at dead-end road. Go straight, the road will take you to Tagaytay as you notice your ascending slowly. You'll know when your in Tagaytay when the air becomes more chilly. Tagaytay is a great place to visit, to hang out and relax. Tagaytay is a city of the province of Cavite.

We just chilled, walked, hanged-out, took pictures and later decided to eat at Carlo's Pizza. Took pictures again and chatted unendingly. After eating, we then went to Casino Filipino, I played Blackjack (21) and luckily I won P3,500.00 that night. Went to Starbucks to treat my friends for a coffee drink. We call this "balato" when you win something, you share part of it to your friends or people that supported you. After a tiring and very fun night, we headed back to Manila.

It was a very fun-filled day, a great way to start the year right with friends. I feel so happy to have such wonderful friends, thanks to you guys: Eng, Eka, Dek, Caysing, Noelle and Cedric. Happy new year guys!!!! (Ivan is in the states by the way... )
