Our year end team outing is yet to come! After 48 years (LOL), the team has finally organized a team building. We were very busy with our personal stuffs that's why. :D We've opted something like "The ranch" not only for their facilities but also for their love of nature. You know, since I am a woman in love with nature, this place is just exactly what we wanted.

Being an internet savvy helped me a lot in finding for this place without even getting lost. Going to "The Ranch" may seemed to be difficult but mind you it was so easy. 

The road to Toledo City

First you have two choices, either you go to toledo by bus or by van (v-hire). We opted for a van that costs us 100 peso each. The journey isn't that long, it'd take you not more than an hour. When arrived in Toledo, go look for "Metro Plaza" that's a well-known department store, located on the right hand side of the road fronting toledo terminal. 

Next step before reaching The ranch is to ride a tricycle for 20 peso each. Just a few kilometers from Metro is where you can find your way.

You will be ask to pay for the entrance before you are allowed to enter. The fee is inclusive of pool use. Take note no bringing of food, you may order at their cafe. You can also enjoy other activities aside from swimming.

You can see their products made from real honey at their entrance. 

Cafe's located on the right.

Visible from the entrance is their 5 feet pool. Not only that , they have some more pools that's shallower.

Very amazed by the pools we forgot to order for lunch and ended up very hungry. So we went back to our cottage and ate.

Our assigned cottage. We were able to choose since we were earlier. A few hours after we arrived, numbers of guests were already crowded.

20 peso per cup.

#@ anya's#

They're open from Sunday to Thursday (10:00 am to 1:00 am) and from Friday to Saturday (10:00 to 2:00 am)

It was a late dinner and wanted to have something not in the mall this time. Thinking about which to eat is something I can't handle and makes me impatient. But good thing I remembered one resto which serves home made dishes right from the wok! Then, decided to have it in Mabolo. We passed by two restaurants before we've got to anya's place. I remembered passing by Cadi Shack Diner and Cafe de Geneve. Not sure where it's located but instinct took us to the right place in the right time. :)

We were the only customers when we arrived. It was cozy and a good place to chill. So if you're looking for a place to dine out and chillax with friends I would recommend Anya's place.

Directions to Anya's Place is not so difficult to find. Turn to your left when you see a sign (cadi shack diner) of the road, two corners from Sarrosa Hotel. Passing cadi shack turn left again and straight ahead is Anya's place located on the right just beside Cafe de Geneve.

Got to order Philippine Pork Humba @ 160.00 and Sizzling Gambas @ 200.00. Plain rice costs 15.00 per cup. Iced tea Pitcher @ 75.00

Sizzling Gambas

Philippine Pork Humba

Their gambas is really good! ;) They also provide free access of their wifi but unfortunately it was way too slow.

The bar

#Super panalo @ Pizza hut#

I'm a fan of Pizza hut's pizza and most of their dishes are at an affordable price. So dining here makes you save your money but not the quality so that's saving without compromising.

Super panalo value meals favorites for only 
99 all you pay 

and make it supreme for 129 peso. Heard it right!

You can also turn your drinks to bottomless! Just add 30 peso to your tea, lemonade and soda!

....And add 39 for a pleasurable dessert! 

Have a nice meal! ;)

#Hey, Santa! Can you give me something good#

It's already December and I just love to exchange some presents with somebody. At work, my workmates and I planned something for December and we chose to have Kris Kringle every time we will have our meeting.

So what does kris kringle mean?

According to the dictionary Kris Kringle (sometimes given as Kriss Kringle) is the legendary patron saint of children; an imaginary being who is thought to bring presents to children at Christmas.

A very fun way to give presents is to have something that'll surely create excitement! So here are some of the things that everybody would love, hate, frown, shock, and so on. LOL!

something long and hard (can you think of something long and hard? lol)
something cute (most women love something cute)
something imported (either made in China, USA or from the Philippines)
something soft and fluffy
something useful
something naughty or weird
something in a bottle
something colourful
something personal or private use
something you don't want to own
something smelly
something wet
something hairy
something embarrassing
something handmade
something yucky
something heavy
something vintage or retro
something round
something sweet
something cheap and plastic
something bright
something sticky
something scary
something funny and stressed free
So, that's all I could think of... from the 1st day of December up to the Day of Christmas.

 Ho..Ho.. Ho! Merry Christmas everyone! :)
