Tagaytay Hits 2017

Tagaytay Hits

My very first tour outside Manila with friends: D

It’s my first time going on a trip with my friends outside Manila and the whole experience was a lot of fun! We did enjoy the scenery of Tagaytay and enjoyed the breezy weather and felt like we don’t want to leave the place.

Before driving all the way to Tagaytay, we stopped at Kopiroti to enjoy our late heavy breakfast Kopi Bun with BKL. The food was alright, my taste buds were just shocked with the combination of sweet and salty but overall it was yum! And the cold choco……. Is superb! :D

Thank to Ate Waze for guiding us on our way to Tagaytay. Travelling at 11:45, we arrived at Tagaytay by 1:24 pm (define no TRAFFIC! It was smooooooth travelling!), upon arriving, we specifically looked for Bag of beans to enjoy our lunch and some hot coffee while feeling the wind shivering us.

Even if Bag of Beans is the most common place to go to, we definitely decide to dine there not only because of the windy scenery but also because of the food that they offer. 

FOOD. Since hunger strike at 1 pm, our tummies are longing for breakfast style/ Filipino dish to energize our day and satisfy our hunger. 

Phoebe ordered Sunrise Breakfast, a food collaboration with sausages, eggs, ham, bacon, hash brown, this dish may not look much but it would surely attract your taste buds. 

And look how happy she is!

I ordered, Beef Tapa and Eunice Ordered Pork Tocino, our dish had the same side dishes eggs, and lettuce with cucumber and tomato on top. I can say that this meal is surely heavy! But delis!

AMBIANCE. The place was definetly like a old rest house where you and your friends could chill and hang out as you enjoy the cold breeze of Tagaytay. 

The only thing about the food was it was served hot but after a few seconds of taking photos, “malamig na” huhuhuhu…. (para sa blog!) 

COFFEE. If you’re at the bag of beans make sure to try their coffees! For coffee lovers this one is for you! :D Bag of beans doesn't just promise you good and great coffee but a good take on it's aroma and sweet bitterness feeling that would entice your cravings.

Bag of beans SALAMAT DIN PO! :)

Our Road View of Skyranch 

Next destination, Sky Ranch! The three of us are not amusement babies, so we didn’t much liked riding some rides but just went inside to feel the view, to watch others belt their lungs out as they scream and basically just play and took pictures of the Taal Volcano, and bought some souvenir! J

Product Review: Garnier Facial Wash

Having acne problems/pimples is one of the things we as teenagers, hated it the most. Ever since I stepped into my senior year, I have always been bugged by my breakouts. I have tried different solutions that promised me pimple free face and it took me years to use them but none of them worked.

My mom even sends me to a dermatologist to check what was really going on with my face. So of course the causes were late night sleep, stress, the food that I eat and puberty. But since derma was really pricey and you really need to go on a treatment almost twice a month to get better result, I have tried another product that would be suitable for my delicate skin. Yap, no matter how many pimples I had before according to my dermatologists, it’s still frail no matter how old I am :D

As I was browsing different acne products at the supermarket, Garnier Pure Energy had attracted my eyes. Not to mention its orange color, but the product itself says for acne prone skin. Crossed my fingers and hoped it would work and I can say it really did work for me.

Little by little I can see the difference from before and after, my skin gets lighter and my pimples are slowly saying good bye.

Here’s a photo of mine as a result of using garnier :DHAHAHAHAHA 

On the first months of using it, you won’t really see the difference, but as months passed by, you can see how my pimples reduced, gets dry and then eventually just dark spots would be visible. I have been using Garnier for a year now and I can say I am Pimple free!!! Well there are still breakout moments but it’s not as bad as before). 

In addition to my garnier product, I am also using this facial cleanser which I bought from Daiso for only 199php, it can also help clean your face thoroughly especially every after makeup :D

Garnier Thank you! :)
