A few weeks ago, because of the stress and pressure we all have on a deadline of a project, my colleagues suddenly felt the urge to go to Tagaytay. That was on the day I wasn’t required to show up on Saturday night overtime, because I was pulled out to ‘test’ a more difficult project.

I woke up from an sms of a colleague saying “wake up and get up! We are going to Tagaytay. NOW As in after shift. Get here ASAP.”

Is this some kind of a joke, at 3:00 am? I don’t think so. Then I rushed to open my pc. First, I was almost irritated that I wasted 3 hours sleeping instead of going online to speak with My Moogie *.* But then again, he knows (and always remind me, thanks!) to have my well deserved rest.

But as soon as I got online PING! PING! PRIINGG! Messages from work popped. And also from My Moogie. Ok, one at a time! So I said Hi to him first…

I had second thoughts on going to Tagaytay. But they rely on me since it seemed I am the only one who has been there recently, and knows what to ride and where to go. And Moogie is about to sleep too (check time zones, hehe..) So I promised to take pictures for him and he let me go with them.

I am anticipating the feeling of being in Tagaytay too. I’ve been there many times with my family, but the last time I was there was so meaningful that I know Tagaytay will never be the same for me. There will always be that feeling of being with him. And seeing the sights makes me miss him more at the same time, no, because I felt he was just there.

And so I went.

Funny tho, that when I arrived at work, it was only 5 of us who will go. Fine with me, but I learned that a few more backed-out the last minute. Those who do not want to risk going on a rainy Manila Sunday morning, not knowing exactly where to go and what to ride.

When we got there, all the risk was worth it. The two hour bus trip lead us up the mountains with no rain. And the cloudy atmosphere made it perfect for a long walk looking over the lake and volcano. The temp was colder than the usual, and our jackets (that we usually only wear at work) were well suited.

And yes, I was right. It was an amazing sight and feeling. I was so proud of bringing Him *.* there with me last July. I showed my friends where we took pictures and ate at the same restaurant.

After brunch (breakfast + lunch) at Leslie’s, we went to Dencio’s for a few drinks. We stayed at the upper floor that has an equally amazing view. Overlooking the lake and Taal volcano, we even saw a mysterious rain that circled the lake. It was divided in two, then after a few hours, passed over our location and stayed only for a few minutes and went back to shower the lake.

Weekend in Tagaytay. Pfew! What a way to unwind.

Tho next time, I wanna have that coffee at Starbucks too. lol

But for some reason it struct me to change my layout on my other blog, Outside the Box
