Tagaytay Getaway

This is our first out of town of the year after the nightmare incident we had with cebu pacific kalibo flight last january, I will never ride with cebu pacific again and because of that I opted to skipped my el nido trip with my RDI officemates.

Tagaytay is our destination, We left manila at 8:00 in the morning we had our breakfast at jollibee macapagal, even though we always frequent this area we still love coming back. This time our goal is to have our trip fit with our 5K budget. We arrived at 11:30 am in tagaytay it was kinda late because we dropped by at imus, cavite to check the MARK I mini cooper that my dad is currently restoring.

We headed directly to mahogany market for our lunch. we ordered the famous bulalo, tawilis, kaldereta and chicharon with free pineapple and banana for dessert, it only cost us P650. After our super sulit lunch, we went to calaruega church it was a 20 minute ride from mahogay market. The place is so beautiful and solemn it was a perfect place for a wedding, we even wanted to change the venue of our wedding after seeing the place hehe. We stayed there for only a few minutes because unluckily my camera had ran out of battery so we decided to check in at Keni po hotel to rest and recharge my battery.

I slept while maman and gaby tried the new swimming pool we left Keni po at around 5 pm and went to picnic grove to check their new attraction the zipline and cable car. Maman tried the zipline and also ride the cable car with our daughter gaby, they both enjoyed the rides while I enjoyed taking pictures of them.

It was dinner time we searched for the cheapest food in the vicinity of “Tagaytay/Magallanes Square” i’m not sure of the name of the place but it’s where the most restaurants are located. Our searching paid of and we found this small tapsihan infront of figaro along the hi-way and a few meters away is a fried chiken kiosk, the dinner only cost us P400.

After our dinner we went to Robinson’s supermarket to buy some water and snacks for the following day, we stayed for awhile to listen to a acoustic band in the summit ridge after a few songs we decided to go back to the hotel, It was a nice way to end the day.

Francis Durango Magalona
FrancisM, The Mouth, Kiko

Francis Magalona died of leukemia today!. I was shock to hear the news, I just finished updating my blogs when I turned on the T.V. and I can’t believe what I heard from T.V. Patrol that the master rapper died. It’s sad, but lets not talk about the death of Francis, lets talk about how he touched people’s lives like what he did to me.



I was grade four when his smashed hit “Mga Kababayan” was released in the 90’s. that was also the time when i heard the name Francis M. and his new brand of music called RAP. I was about to enter High school when again one of his hit song cold summer nights became one of my favorite. That started it all, from there on I became a Francis M. fan. and it fascinates me that in every album he released one song would always be about the filipino or how to be makabayan.

I really respect and admire him on how he use his status as an artist and celebrity to influence young kids to love our country and be proud to be a filipino. from his song to his clothing line a touch of patriotism is always present, a francis magalona signature.



for my part, I’ve opened a website/blog showcasing the beauty of the philippines http://www.pinoyislands.com that’s how he inspired me. I am also a proud filipino and I love the philippines. as my tag line goes “pinoyislands - where people and places are world class” FRANCIS MAGALONA you are trully a world class filipino.

YO! TO THE MASTER RAPPER FRANCIS MAGALONA MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
