Expect traffic in the Mall of Asia area from 7pm - onwards. If you don’t want to watch the fireworks, I suggest that you avoid the area.

This is one of the houses you might make your home for a day or two when you decide to sleep at Balai Isabel.

Let us take a look inside…

W-E-L-C-O-M-E to B-A-L-A-I I-S-A-B-E-L

This is Balai Isabel’s clubhouse where the restaurant, shop, function rooms ideal for convention and training, inifnity pool, and the mobideep pool (for fun diving, me think) are.

From our table, we can see the 2 pools (but you can only see 1 pool from this photo) and the mobideep (see where the white umbrellas are? That’s where the mobideep is.).

I was already hungry by the time we got to Balai Isabel. And this was what greeted me…Food served is by Makati Skyline. What?! They are also here?! in Cavite? Oh well, they were our caterer in our Tagaytay wedding so I guess, I shouldn’t be that surprised. Okay, okay. I have no choice but to concede.
Food choices were no different from the usual “lutong bahay” restaurant but I have no complains. All dishes that we ordered were wiped out. We were all hungry.
Bulalo soup (P330). I can still remember the bulalo! There were no takers except for me and IvanM. Took it before the soup got cold. Soup was good for 3 persons but we were 6.5 and it was just right for us.

HAPPY 5th month BIRTHDAY to my JX!

How time really flies! The five months we have been spending with each other is sooo much fun. I love it! We love it! We do hope you won’t grow faster than the bullet because we still want to cherish you…our sweet smelling baby. Oh by the way, can you smile more often? You look cuter if you do!

5 down 7 months to go!

Ta-Ta! I need to go and buy JX a cake. We missed celebrating JX’s 4th month birthday So sorry JX.

I wish I’ve continued my piano lessons when I was in high school. Every Sunday, my aunt would teach me the basics but I never got to love it as much as she did. Actually, my mom, older sister and some of my aunts make wonderful music when they play the piano. Well, it is never too late…maybe AD would be interested to learn since he loves music, always singing when he feels like it and requests us to sing or to sing with him.

What a perfect timing! This summer enroll your kids in art, piano, swimming, basketball, karate, cooking, baking, or ballet lessons. It would make them busy while they are on vacation.
