pamana

on our way down from antonio's, we saw this cool looking place.

i thought it was a furniture store, so i couldn't resist.

it turned out to be a filipino restaurant with a small gift shop in front.

i love how they fixed up the place!!!

the restaurant is owned by same owners of the boutique hotel nearby + barrio fiesta, etc...

let's eat there soon!

just say yes, please!

twinpophub and i had an impromptu date in antonio's breakfast (which was now moved to the main antonio's).

i'm loving the new design of the place!  i'm really impressed with his aesthetic.

what i DIDN'T love is the fact that they 

(1) didn't want to accept reservations for breakfast, and at the same time, 

they (2) didn't want us to sit in the main antonio's gallery but order breakfast.  

The worst thing is, they (3) didn't want to seat us in the breakfast area because they said there was no space...  

even if clearly there were so many empty tables, just not tables for 2.  wtf?

anyway, we insisted... i said i didn't mind staying in a table for 5... but they didn't want to seat us there. so they in the end they reluctantly set up a table for 2 -- kinda off to the side by the kitchen...  and the whole time we ate, the big tables were empty.  absurd, don't you think?

but anyway, we didn't really get mad or anything... i wanted to enjoy our little date, and my triple spinach omelette.

anyway, back to the good stuff....

i thought the interiors reminded me of the foreign correspondents club... i haven't been to many, but it reminded me of the one in seam reap.

i really love that colonial look, with dark shutters and white walls.  yun lang :)

"the wedding project" (ocular)

YES YOU SHOULD!!! hehe

just got back from tagaytay for the wedding project ocular....first stop, Sonya's Garden for the reception... needless to say, it looked beautiful as is. i loved the chandeliers! but i do think my poofy paper flowers and "flying men" would look great in it. (hihi)





i want to do something about these though....


can you see what i tried out? look closer... hihi...



next stop, the Chapel on the Hill....i love the circular design and the open ceiling....


hmm... what should i hang here....


the floor is actually a circular labyrinth - a "journey to inner peace"... an excerpt of what's written outside the church on the very interesting concept of the labyrinth and how to move within the labyrinth can be found in this site.


the pathway leading to the church, guess what i'm putting here....
