monday getaway

Tagaytay has a special meaning to me and my guy. The first weekend we started going out, we went to Tagaytay because I brought it up as a joke. You know, the usual, ���Where do you want to go?��� And I actually got tired of saying, ���It���s up to you,��� that I blurted out, ���Tagaytay!��� without really expecting him to take it, or me, seriously. But he did (because I think he was making pa-impress��多ehehe) and this was where a lot of long conversations began.

So it was really a nice surprise when last Friday, he told me to sleep early on Sunday night because we were going to Tagaytay the next day. And what made the whole surprise really cute was that the day he told me about the surprise, I was also asking myself when we were going to go back to the place. My guy says he can read my mind better than a soothsayer can. I think so, too���

Off to Tagaytay we went, on a clear Monday morning and I was in high spirits despite the one-hour sleep I had. Nothing beats a getaway on a weekday and a man with a plan. We ate at Massimo���s (since I am an Italian food lover) while enjoying the wind breeze I can only wish Manila can have. We were supposed to get a spa treatment over at Nurture Spa (the place is so pretty and relaxing!) but decided to just return the next time we were in the area so we can spend more time for pampering and not having to worry about getting caught in the rush hour traffic. So we went back to Manila and just watched a movie at Eastwood, bringing junk food from the Tagaytay trip. What a day, I���d say.

I love to be able to get away sometimes, even if I���m just bumming around and don���t really have something to get away from, except maybe the boredom and heat. But wherever the getaway, I���m just happy to spend it with my guy who can make any place we go to special just by being there with me.
