Chateau Hestia, Tagaytay

For our anniversary, my boyfriend and I decided to go to Tagaytay for change, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  I wanted something new, a change in scenery, and a different ambiance so I searched the internet for a new restaurant in Tagaytay.  I came across Chateau Hestia, a garden restaurant that promises a european experience.  The menu seemed okay and the price was not expensive, so off we went.

It wasn't very hard to find when you're familiar with Tagaytay, just make sure to look at the map in their website so you have a guide. We got to the place in time for dinner and it was so dark!  We were not able to explore the place, and sad to say, no pictures. I'll just be giving a review of the food.

We availed of their set menu at P700 per person. All I can say is, you get what you pay for. 

Here are the pics!

Check out the place during the day so you won't miss the experience.  As for the food, sad to say, its not worth the drive.  I loved the Minestrone soup though. :)

Bring me back my rainfall...

It’s almost a little over a year since my boyfriend and I broke up.  But here I am stuck in a rut, still thinking about the past, even writing about it.  After every break-up, people would tell you to “move on”.  You try, but moving on is easier said than done.  You keep yourself busy.  You date the insignificant boys that come your way just to score a rebound.  At the end of the day, there’s only one person on your mind. The one who got away.  

What could he possibly be doing right now?  Well, knowing him, he’s probably working his butt off and earning more money than he was earning before.  The last time I heard, he’s gotten really successful since he transferred to that province.  And maybe, at the end of the day, he’d go home, call his new girlfriend and tell her about how his day went, flirt a little then have a good sound sleep.  

  

As for me, I would be drinking again tonight just like last night, argue with my so-called boyfriend, go home then sleep.  You’re probably thinking what the hell am I doing writing this when I already got myself a new guy.  To be honest, I’m actually thinking about the same thing.
