Tagaytay: Frontier Within the City's Reach

Tagaytay is just one of the few places you can visit if you wish to escape the city's busy hustle and stressful environment and on Sunday, celebrating my sister's vacation in the country as well as her pending departure, we decided to spend the day here. The view is just majestic and timeless.

It's not everyday you watch the sun rise and spend the whole day basking under it, So spend it wisely and have fun under it.

People's Park In The Sky aka Palace In The Sky

Happy Siblings :D

Tagaytay Highlands' view from the Palace..

 That long.. winding road :D

PAGASA - DOST Doppler Radar located beside the deteriorating radar towers in the palace..

Towers.. Towers.. Towers..

The palace, looking "rickety", but inviting..

Batanes: Where The Heart Is...,

It was a fine day in May when the whole family went home for several reunions.. What could be more enticing than to see your beautiful mother as well as your hometown again after years of absence?

I am thankful that you took the flight, but at the time, I wasn't a willing passenger bound for Manila. Thank you PAL for the safe and quick flight.

Happy Siblings :D

A quick snap on our way to Basco for my flight going back to Manila. View deck was secured by a locked gate but.. shhhh I was able to find a way to get inside :D

The local park was basically an extension of every household near it. The evenings and early mornings were mostly spent here. Coffee please?? :D

And then.. you wait for the morning sun to rise, and bask on it 'til it's time to return home.

Night Owls..

And then you watch the sun set eagerly before it disappears right in front of you.
