http___www.bigleaguekickball.com_about_ Cheap Soma without prescription next day fedex overnight In preparation for wedding, it has been our tradition to make and share some prenuptial photos for keeps. As a couple whose hobby is traveling, we opted to shoot our prenup in Tagaytay, our usual destination for dates. After all, my mom’s friend offered her villa, Casa Viki, for us to stay for two days. Casa Viki is available for booking at Airbnb if you need a house for 20 guests. Anyway, she also offered Tagaytay Highlands as our venue for prenup since she’s a member.

When I saw The Woodlands of Tagaytay Highlands in Facebook, I knew that this is it. My fiancé, who is fond of pine trees, also said that it is Tagaytay Highlands or nothing. I instantly became dreamy of how our prenup photos would be. We were excited to capture those towering pine trees and beautiful cabins.

However, when I was about to book for our shoot, I encountered added fees and strict policies, which are understandable. Apart from the photoshoot rate, there’s a separate payment for entry of each person and we have to book one of their rooms for another price. We didn’t need a room, actually, but if that’s what it takes, then, it’s alright. Afterwards, we were informed that our vintage scooter, which will only be used as a prop, isn’t allowed inside the vicinity. Therefore, we agreed to shoot the scooter part somewhere outside Tagaytay Highlands. Lastly, there were no more available rooms in The Woodlands, the area in Tagaytay Highlands, where plenty of pine trees are standing luxuriantly. The only available room is in Belleview. Sadly, if we book a room at Belleview, we can’t go and shoot around The Woodlands. So what’s the point of going to Tagaytay Highlands if we can’t go to The Woodlands and capture the pine trees? I mean, that was our target location there and yet, due to restrictions, we won’t be able to go to this spot after all the payments we agreed upon. We didn’t pursue Tagaytay Highlands then.

My fiancé and I were both unhappy during the day before our departure. We talked that we’ll just enjoy the trip no matter what happens. Our coordinator suggested another venue and we let him lead the way.

On our first day, we conducted our prenup shoot at Casa Viki and stopped by at two more restaurants that allowed us to take some photos. We were fortunate to meet the owners of Yufiro Coffee, who didn’t think twice on lending their coffee shop the moment we came in! It’s a rooftop cafe, located in Silang, Cavite, that exudes elegance in wood color palette. We also visited a branch of Jaytee’s, which was built with glass walls, overlooking the scene of Taal lake. The staff gave our team a green light, as long as we’ll buy and dine in their restaurant.

We booked a photoshoot package in Farm Hills Garden for our second day. I must say that God had his reasons on why he pushed us away from Tagaytay Highlands. We were so focused on Tagaytay Highlands that we didn’t thought of other possible places in Cavite that could be more beautiful than it. Farm Hills Garden was beyond our expectations, not to mention that we paid 8000 pesos less than the proposed bill of Tagaytay Highlands. Although we didn’t see some real pine trees here, we were welcomed by a different kind of coniferous evergreen. The whole vicinity is abundant in Araucaria or Norfolk Island Pine, a tree that is similar to pine trees!

Actually, the driveway going to Farm Hills is already a show-stopper!

Originally built as an events place, Farm Hills Garden is also a bed and breakfast, situated one kilometer away from Tagaytay City. You can see Farm Hills Garden in most lists of top venues for wedding ceremonies and receptions near Manila. Embraced by the cool Tagaytay weather and peaceful suburb atmosphere, the said location is exactly how a bride envisions her intimate garden wedding. It is designed for wedding celebrations but it also accommodates debuts, seminars, conferences and other special occasions and corporate events.

Farm Hills Garden has a function hall that is meant for a small group of guests, a pavilion that houses 150 to 200 visitors and a garden with ceremonial setup. It offers a wedding package inclusive of reception styling, catering, five-course meals, cake, lights and sounds, projector and screen and an event host.

There was an upcoming wedding and the staff was so kind to let us in to check the pavilion and have a little photoshoot.

I was only here for a five-hour prenup shoot and yet, I was specially treated like a bride already. I was just expecting to be given a simple deluxe room since the room will only be used for makeup retouching and outfit changing. My team was totally surprised when the management provided us their bridal room, which is already a one-bedroom villa that is complete with two shower rooms, a living room and backyard.

As a hotel, Farm Hills Garden is also a place for quick staycations. One can find comfort and relaxation in one of its themed rooms, may it be deluxe room, family suite or a spacious loft. All accommodation types are equipped with air-conditioners, Wi-Fi, televisions, coffee machines and mini fridges.

Secluded in an array of evergreen trees and the rest of the flora, the villa gives the bride an awesome view of nature from the bedroom and from the living room through its gigantic glass doors and windows.

The beauty of nature extends up to the Farm Hills Garden Café and Restaurant as the establishment’s interior was adorned with faux and real plants. With high ceiling and glass wall on one side, the restaurant’s ambience is light and airy.

It was rainy day and their Pork Sinigang was the most warming thing to order. I love how sour the broth was. It complemented the tender pork. The Sizzling Sisig was cut in clean cubes so every piece was consistently crunchy. It might be oily but it was appetizing and well-seasoned. We also had their Lumpiang Shanghai, which is filled with finely ground meat.

Customers can take out some food from Farm Hills Garden Cafe and Restaurant and find their spot around the garden to set up their picnic.

A few flights from the lobby, we found the astonishing D’ Attique Cafe. It was once called Attique de Bella, a pastel floral Paris-themed cafe. Now, it was renovated to black, white and wood cafe, which is kinda common to the eyes but equally aesthetic. We actually had this spot for our shoot. When we wrapped up, I ordered an iced Salted Caramel Latte, which has the right sweetness that doesn’t overpower the strength of coffee.
