Personal: Tagaytay

It has been a long time since I last went to Tagaytay. If I remember it correctly, that was when I was still in grade school. So, that would be...about 10 years ago. And, I don't even remember having photos when I was there then. Poor me...


Well, that long gap was finally filled-in...sort of. Also, I have a couple of photos to bring home this time.

Yesterday, Nov 24, the entire family went to Tagaytay to attend a relative's birthday celebration. I was actually hesitating to go since typhoon Mitag/Mina was on its way to pass by the area. However and fortunately, not a single drop of rain fell the entire day. Later that day, we heard the news that the typhoon changed its course. Lucky us.

And so, with the weather cooperating with us, I was able to take some photos of the Taal Volcano during our stop (on the way home) at Starbucks beside the Taal Vista Hotel (formerly Taal Vista Lodge). Nah, I'm not endorsing Starbucks. And, my Starbuko shirt doesn't mean anything as well. :) But this branch is, by far, the best Starbucks branch I've seen so far. Well, in terms of location and the building itself.

Anyway.

Here are a some of the photos I took while having a sip of my Iced Caramel Machiatto. Iced as if it's not yet cold in Tagaytay. Well, at least I didn't have frappuccino like my parents and sister have. Lol. It's foggy that time, that's why I didn't have a clear shot of the volcano. This is the best I could being a noob photographer having an ordinary digital cam. I guess if Ron would sell his old cam for Php 2000, as he buys the Php47k Canon 30D, I could shoot some better photos. :P




Maybe, I should change the title of this post to Starbucks having Tagaytay City as its subtitle huh? :D

No, change the title to "My not-so-subtle attempt to get Ron to buy a new camera so that I can buy his old one". That would be more accurate.

Epal ang unang pic, di raw pa-obvious na ikaw ang nagpipicture... hahaha!
