What's on my bucket list? Everywhere.

Hello everyone! There's a proverb that goes, "It's more fun in the Philippines," so I'm going to highlight how wonderful the places here are. My blog is about the places I've visited.

Nothing better than a 🍰 

📍Pastry Project

A place where you can unwind while sipping coffee, eating spaghetti, and enjoying desserts like cake and cookies is the Pastry Project in Tanauan, Batangas. You may discover nicely prepared KOs, pasta, and chicken nuggets among the delicious food and beverages served here.

This bakery sells delectable chocolate cakes, chocolate ganache, and blueberry cheesecakes. You can try wonderful frappes after a hard day at the office; they are delicious, I assure you. The personnel is therefore thought to be appealing when you arrive here. The excellent service demonstrates Pastry Project's high level of quality. The atmosphere is cozy, as many visitors note.

They welcomed us as soon as we arrived, and as I look around, I notice that this place has a calm atmosphere. Every area of the cafe is also very photogenic, making it a good place to go if you need to conduct business or engage in other activities while sipping on some of their coffee or frappes. I can only say that this is a coffee shop in Batangas that I highly suggest.

For people who love ☕️

📍Nas Kape

Located in Santo Tomas, Batangas, Nas Kape is a new outdoor café. It is close to Makiling Mountain, where we can see sweeping views of the city, and because of its accessible location and ominous lighting, it is a great site for anyone looking for a new hangout spot. Although this can be justified given their excellent location, the prices of the goods and beverages are comparable to those of Starbucks. 

 As a result of its proximity to us and the fact that my family and I are both from Sto Tomas, Batangas, we do not have to travel to Tagaytay to enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the scenery and the crisp, cool air that we prefer to feel when we spend time together. 

Going here is pleasurable because of the calm atmosphere when we eat and sip coffee while taking in the view of the city, I am reminded of how lovely and peaceful nature is. As a result, it is highly recommended for individuals looking to visit a coffee shop.

Rock and roll lifestyle 🎸   

📍Hard rock cafe

It brings the rock and roll lifestyle to the biggest mall in the city, the S Maison Conrad Manila in Mall of Asia. This upscale location overlooks Manila bay and it is casual dining restaurant founded in London England on June 14, 1971 .

When we went there, I knew it was a luxury restaurant because of the ambiance, design and people who go there to eat and chill. I was amazed when I entered because the first thing, we saw was a clothes store that is part of a restaurant. I found out that there is a band that will be playing, that is why from the name of the restaurant itself “hard rock” is made by a band that sings to the diners there.  

But me and my family we ate outside the restaurant to feel the fresh air and overlooking Manila Bay and the amusement park, so I was very relaxed here at this restaurant even though the payment for the foods is a bit expensive and there is an entrance fee of 250 pesos each person and it is okay at least it paid off and I was satisfied with the experience they gave us.

Magical Experience 🧚‍♀️

The event features over two million Christmas lights, and Disney-inspired music, bringing joy to visitors from the security and comfort of their vehicles. The SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds will become the Philippines' happiest location, offering seven enchanting zones for both young and old. 

 Visitors will be greeted by a colorful ribbon-lined tunnel, Mickey Mouse in dazzling wreaths, iconic Disney princesses Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, Mulan, Pocahontas, and Ariel, and a Hall of Fame zone with bejeweled stars and Christmas balls. The Gingerbread Candyland tunnel offers delicacies featuring beloved Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck.

So, when we arrived they greeted us with a colorful ribbon-lined tunnel and our all-time favorite Mickey Mouse in dazzling Mickey wreaths that were illuminated in a variety of colors. 

From our experience, I can say that this one is comforting and one of my top picks to visit every December to spend Christmas with loved ones because it feels like I'm on another planet where it's so colorful and enjoyable.   

Finally, I'll note that MOA NIGHT OF LIGHTS will bring happiness to all attendees from the security and comfort of their vehicles.

This cafe in Tagaytay makes itself known with its soft debut, hosted on the 14th of January 2023 at the newly built Dear Joe in Tagaytay. 

Our experience in Dear Joe, we had visited there once and always commented on how lovely it was.

📍The Outlets at Lipa 🥅

The Outlets at Lipa is well situated near the LIMA Technology Center entrance along the national route in Lipa City. The city is easily reachable by a vast network of highways that extend all the way to Makati in Metro Manila and serves as the entry point to the Southern Tagalog Region. Furthermore, more than 500,000 of the 2.7 million residents of Batangueno live within 10 kilometres of The Outlets at Lipa.

Another aspect of the Batangas province's economy is its rapid economic expansion. And the people who live there are eager to enjoy life to the fullest and reap the benefits of their labour, which they will undoubtedly do at The Outlets at Lipa

We had a great time when my buddies and I went because of how lovely their outdoor mall was. There are numerous things to do, such as visiting one of the area's beautiful locations, which is a race car that many kids wish to drive in a toy race. When you ride here, it feels like you're in Baguio. Another area we visited was a soccer field, where you can watch people play soccer and even take photos.

Window shopping is the best option for you here because there are stores you won't typically find in Philippine malls. Since there are already outlets, you can visit Nike stores without travelling to Manila or Alabang. The outlets Lipa is one of my top suggested outdoor malls for you to visit because of the ideal atmosphere and the beautiful areas they constructed there, so for that reason it's worthwhile to go there.

📍Baywalk Bañadero 🌋

Baywalk Bañadero, located in barangay Bañadero, along with barangay Wawa and Dragon View Deck in barangay Boot, was one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tanauan, Batangas province. People from the city and its neighboring cities take the time to visit the location, which is famed for its breath-taking beauty of Taal Lake and the soothing environment of the place.

My family and I opted to go jogging here since the route is so gorgeous, and with the view of Taal volcano, it's really inspiring to run in such a beautiful spot. It's also calming, and there are numerous restaurants and coffee shops around. If you feel hungry. Take a picture and everyone will assume you're on Tagaytay, but you're actually in Tanauan, Batangas.

If you wish to come here for the clean air, peace, and proximity to nature, it is highly recommended. Come here since we only have one life to live and let's always take vacations to unwind and escape from the hectic aspects of life.

Close to Nature, Closer to God ⛪️

📍Caleruega Church is a newer structure, that doesn't lessen how magnificent it is. The name of the church is derived from St. Dominic, the man who founded the Dominican Order, who was born in the little Spanish town of Caleruega. Visitors can enjoy a stunning view of the surrounding vegetation and mountain ranges thanks to the Caleruega Church's hilltop location. Even though getting there requires traveling down a rocky and narrow road, Caleruega Church is unquestionably worth visiting. 

We’ve been to Caleruega Church once and we would always remark how beautiful it was. Caleruega Church is often listed as one of the most beautiful churches in Tagaytay but it’s really located in Nasugbu, Batangas. What makes Caleruega Church even more attractive is the view of Mount Batulao as well as the boundless green plains surrounding Caleruega Church adds to its allure. Add in the cool Tagaytay air, and you have the ideal hideaway to heal both your mind and your spirit.

So, to visit Caleruega Church, you must pay a P30 admission fee each person. With that, you may now explore the property and discover for yourself the features and amenities. It's a soothing pastime to go for a leisurely walk, be near to nature, and nourish your spirituality.  Things to see and do at Caleruega are a large dining hall is Refectory Hall, The female dorm is located at Catalina Hall,The men's dorm is located at Tomasino Hall, Hermitage cottages Pahingalayan and Fra Angelico offer simple lodging options, Outdoor activities are also highly recommended at Kampo Arriba, a campsite and many more, Consequently, I suggest Caleruega Church if you want to visit a serene church.
