Tagaytay Weekend Escape: Taal Vista, T House & Bag of Beans

So I think I just got my blogging mojo back. Haha. Finally feel motivated to work on backlogs and go to events. Hihi. Also currently working on revamping my blog layout (still minimalist but maybe better and more organized). Thanks Rhea for the reco!:) Anyway, remember my Tagaytay getaway 2 weeks ago? Posting about it na, finally!:)  Oh how I want to run away to Tagaytay for a weekend escape, again. Let's go Mich? Friends? Cousins? Haha. Starting this post with what I wore!






Mango white top, Next Jeans ombre vest, Thrifted leather jacket, Unarosa shorts, Cotton On shades


Police watch, Christian Siriano for Payless bag

Shulong sneakers

Loved the cool breeze and yes even the Tagaytay fog that welcomed us (it was drizzling). Got to layer and wear my leather jacket yey! Love how my ombre vest from Next Jeans complemented my red shorts. When I travel I still prioritize comfort, and nothing epitomizes comfort than Shulong! So cute this gray one!:)

 Moving on... here are photos from our short but sweet Tagaytay getaway:)
Chloe's first out of town trip! 

 me loving Skyway. Cuts travel time!

a big leap for Mich bilang 20 kmh lang sha palagi. haha jkkk

We were racing against our check-in time so didn't avail na the stopovers. Such a bummer. Favorite part ko pa naman ng trip yun! Oh well. Travel time was 1 hour. Not bad! Sunday kasi hehe.

our home that night! Bought a Taal Vista overnight stay deal from Deal Grocer for I think P4k+. Okay na din.

saya ni girl. hehe

welcoming committee

 check-in time! just presented my voucher and a valid ID.

tourista! haha

  welcome drink na ininom agad ni Mich. Parched! in tagalog, patay uhaw!

Lobby!

 lounge area and resto overlooking Taal Lake!

waited for 20 minutes before we were escorted to our fabulous room! Used my Salvatore Mann mini luggage bag!:)

Kuya took us to the lake wing in this golf cart. Shushal.

our room!

From Deluxe, I upgraded to their Premiere room facing the Taal Lake and just paid extra P1,000! Sulit:) This is located at their Lake Wing. They also have a Mountain Wing where rooms are facing the mountains, obviously. Haha. Regular Premiere room price is P7k. We were  able to save almost P2k. For other room rates, click HERE!

Back to our room tour...
this room has a veranda with a breathtaking view of the Taal Lake!!! Kinilig ako. Haha.


clean and spacious bathroom with toiletries, i was sold! Pwede pa matulog 2 tao dito. Haha. 

After taking photos of our room and jumping up and down on the bed like a bunch of freaks, we decided to head out na for late lunch. But wait selfie muna! Or ano ba tawag sa selfie ng 2 tao? Pls answer me!!! Wahaha.

so convenient na there's an ATM machine inside the premises! And look, a Kultura store!

We then drove around looking for a nice place to dine in but it was too foggy! So back to 20kmh si mich. Heh.

Tried Leslie's but box office the dami ng tao.

while waiting bought pastillas and espasol muna. Didn't like it. Heh.

Nobody batted an eyelash or in short waley nagassist samin and we were hungry as Godzilla, so we decided to just leave and transfer to another resto. Buti naaliw kami sa fog so no tantrums. Haha.

cge double selfie pa.

zero visibility! mejo scary.

we wanted fast food coz we have a scheduled 4pm massage so we ate nalang at Mile Hi Diner!

i've always had this penchant for diners. you all know how i love the 50's!:)

nice and cozy interiors

rootbeer float, ceasar salad, cheesy bacon fries, mozarella cheese burger, burger steak

boom. murdered.

no fog na! yey! That's Antonio's grill. Or whatever I forgot hihi.

After our pigout, we then headed to T-House for some pampering!:) Booked their regular 1-hour massage :)
pricelist

Check out T-House's website for room rates!:)

T-Spa!

reception

service hours

Love that they have private rooms. The massage was great too! I dozed off, which seldom happens. Haha. Only setback was the damp bed so it was a little uncomfy. But I guess it was because of the  rain and fog outside. Windows were open ata.

hallway

milkbath area which was under maintenance that day. sayang i wanted to experience pa naman.

It was worth it for P750 each. Loved the place and we left feeling light and super relaxed. Definitely what we both needed:) We were still full from our super late lunch so we decided to get dessert and hot choco nalang after. So off we went to Bag of Beans!

favorite place. so cozy and homey!

decided to chill on the 2nd floor nalang!

love how Mich and I can spend hours just reading our favorite ebooks while eating. Haha.

ayan para mas kita the ebook. Haha. Was reading "American Devil" by Oliver Stark. If you're into crime novels, detective stories, suspense thriller or serial killers then read this! Loved the plot and how it was written.
 hot choco! my fave.

yameh apple pie!
Retired early and spent the rest of the night watching National Geographic, Pretty Woman and blogging! Had to order room service coz I got hungry. Heeh.

may busy sa gilid.

Sweet!

Midnight Snack. Katakawan.

Dozed off even before I could brush my teeth! Yuck I know. Wahaha. Anyway, posting Day 2 later. Have to nap, long day today!:) Have an amazing day my loves!:)
