Last October 2016, Joma and I had a spontaneous getaway to Tagaytay. We just commuted going there but it was not a problem because it was accessible because it was only one bus away. We rode at a bus in Lawton which cost at around P70-P80 pesos or lower, I am not anymore sure. Tagaytay is a go-to place of my family when I was a child. Well, I believe almost all of us have always been in Tagaytay during our childhood years having picnics, horse back riding, and being mesmerized by the beauty of the Taal Volcano. Tagaytay has played a big part of my childhood and I was very happy when I got to go back again.
Our first stop was the famous Picnic Grove. This is still one of the best places to visit when you are in Tagaytay. Those pine trees, horses, picnic areas, recreational activities such as zip line and rappelling and the overlooking of the Taal Volcano make this place really a place best fitted for families who want to bond and to have a quality time with one another. The weather's very fine when we got there. We definitely felt the cold breeze of the air and we were very elated because being in this place was nostalgic for the both of us. It was like we were children again just roaming and having fun around the place. We took pictures of ourselves and the place wanting to remember every moment that we had here. We walked and climbed stairs around the area just enjoying the view and one another's company. We also felt like we did not belong here because all were families having picnic and we did not even have food in the first place. But it was fun watching these people having quality time with their love ones. When we got tired of exploring the place, we sat and relax and bought food for us to eat. Looking at this place, it seemed like nothing had changed especially with the picnic area. It was so fun reminiscing!
Our second stop was the People's Park. It was much more farther than the Picnic Grove and it was really up on the top. We rode a jeepney going there and when we got there, there was a P20.00 fee for every person. I felt so much rejuvenated being in this place. We were actually on top seeing the whole city. It was too cold! We walked up the park and even though it was tiring, the happiness in my heart replaced it. The place was not anymore maintained and it was small. It was basically already like a ruin or a place that was left underdeveloped but people still go here because of the majestic view and for picture purposes. There was a statue of the Virgin Mary where we prayed and there were also souvenir shops. So there was not much to see except for the view unlike with People's Park.
Because we were already starving, we decided to eat Bulalo since this is the famous dish in Tagaytay. We chose Mahogany Market because they say that it has wide selection of Bulalo stores and indeed it had! There was a long Bulalo stalls and we did not know what store to pick because basically they are all the same. So we just picked the one near us because we were hungry. We bought the large Bulalo which cost for about P250.00. It was too big! And it was very yummy. It was worth our money. They even have unlimited "senyorita" bananas.
After that sumptuous bulalo meal, we went to Cliffhouse Tagaytay. It was a place where there are restaurants and coffee shops that you can try. But what makes it special is that there is an overlooking of the Taal Volcano. You can really see the volcano most especially during daytime. And there are rocking chairs and benches in front of the terrace where you can chill and just feel the view. We sat there for about two hours I suppose, just talking about anything and everything. It was one of my favorite moments of the day.
It was already dark so we decided to finally go home even though we did not want it yet. It was a very unforgettable and special day for the both of us. I truly enjoyed Joma's company and I believe that this is one of the many travels that we will still have together. It was a day just full of joy. It was a day of temporarily forgetting all the stress we had been feeling. It was definitely one of my most favorite day in my life.
