Sitio de Amor
Finally posting the entry about Sitio de Amor. A few weeks ago, I made an entry about it. I went to San Pablo with my lovely girlfriends Esther and Tin to enjoy the day away from the city and relax at a private resort of sorts. Sitio de Amor isn't really a resort but more of a hacienda where you can just relax and enjoy the privacy of the George and Amor Bondad's farm. We weren't able to fully explore the place, but with what we saw we will definitely go back hopefully this summer.
I want to share with you a few of my favorite photos we took of Sitio de Amor.
After spending the entire afternoon at Sitio de Amor, we had dinner at Kusina Salud--which is owned by renowned designer Patis Tesoro.
For more information about Sitio de Amor, you can email your queries to sitiodeamor@yahoo.com.
Check out Kusina Salud's site here or you can check out its multiply site.
I know it's a bit early to ask, but....Where do you want to run off to this Summer?

just a sneak peek...
I'm still waiting for Esther to post the pictures from her camera, but here are a few from Tin's when we went to Sitio de Amor at San Pablo, Laguna last weekend :) Thanks to Anton from Our Awesome Planet--if it wasn't for his review, we wouldn't have discovered this wonderful place.
I promise my Sitio de Amor entry will be the first one I'll post for all my backlog entries :) Heehee

learning to live on chicken and fish
I haven't been able to post entries on what I've been eating since I came back from my out-of-town trip last week. I'll start from today going back to Tuesday so it'll be easier for me to remember...
Today (Day 17)- I had fried tilapia for lunch. For dinner, I prepared baked penne with spaghetti sauce (I used ground chicken), honey glazed grilled chicken, and grilled minute steaks. Of course I only had the pasta and chicken. I prepared the steak for my family in case they were already sick of chicken (haha!).
Saturday (Day 16)- My friends Esther, Tin and I had a bit of girlfriend bonding/adventure day. We went to Sitio de Amor in San Pablo, Laguna. Can I just say, it was soooo worth the long drive! But, I'll devote another entry about that..back to my diet--we were served lots of food for lunch but of course I didn't eat anything made from pork or beef. We were served blue marlin, liempo, bopis, soy chicken, pako salad (sooo yummy!), and this dish that was made of baby shrimp cooked with coconut milk then wrapped in gabi leaves then steamed (to die for!). For our afternoon snack, we were served this special kind of suman (that was bought in Lucban, I think) with a slice of mango and drizzled with a light caramel sauce. I swear, that was the best suman I've ever tasted. After spending the entire afternoon at Sitio de Amor, we headed off to Kusina Salud for dinner. We had their fried lumpiang ubod for our appetizer, and the Hot Crispy Tilapia as our main dish.
Friday (Day 15)- lunch out with my college friends Ria and Eia. We ate at Kimono Ken at Podium. I had salmon sashimi, chicken teriyaki and japanese fried rice. I don't think I had dinner. Hahaha! I think after my dgroup, I went to this spa near my house and had a very relaxing massage. Me thinks that's why I woke up late yesterday. Hahaha!
Thursday (Day 14)- I think I had shrimp and ginataang papaya for lunch.
I can't remember what I had for Days 12 and 13. But I'm sure I didn't break my diet :)

smiley cyrus holgarific
I'm such a dork I named my Holga 120CFN Smiley Cyrus...for the very juvenile reason that I stuck smiley stickers all over my camera. Anyway, I had such a good time at Casa San Pablo I took a few shots of stuff that fascinated me. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
Notice the reflection of the trees on the glass windows? :)

The way the entire thing turned out was a bit weird. The flowers and leaves look a bit contorted

Missing Casa San Pablo
Three days without t.v, two hours of wifi, and LOTS of reading time. Quite relaxing, actually. Casa San Pablo's the perfect place to escape to if you want to destress and just lounge around, read, sleep, or eat. Though we only stayed for three days, I brought all my cameras so I could get lots of pictures. I settled with just using our old Canon digicam (which I think will soon conk out on us...I hope it will...so I can finally have a valid reason to buy a new and waaay better one) and Smiley Cyrus--my Holga 120cfn.
These are shots I took on our first day at Casa San Pablo. Enjoy!
