Insert Foot in Mouth!

Had fun eating and freezing in Tagaytay yesterday with Jesser and Marthy to celebrate The Passing of The Compre. We were shocked to find out that it was colder outside the bus when we got there. Marthy, who has never learned his Tagaytay lesson, didn’t bring a jacket. Remarkably, he looked fine all through our time there. Must be his willpower.

Then we ate at Buon Giorno, and had a good time. Chowed down mushroom soup, two kinds of pasta, pizza, tea, the cookies that came with the tea, all for less than 400 kiyaw. Sulit! Loved the complimentary foccaccia bread and the blistering wind that came with the meal. Jesser snapped pics, but when the food came no one remembered to take photos of it. Gutom talaga kami.

We wanted to walk along but Jesser and I needed reinforcements (susuray-suray na lakad ko dahil sa lamig) so we made a quick trip to Istarbaks for hot chocolate. We wanted to look for little inns and hostels to stay for a weekend there, but it was already dark and the highway’s sidewalk wasn’t really pedestrian-friendly. Inevitably, we had to board a bus going back to the lowlands.

So up next, if I pass my thesis proposal defense, I will make a pledge to go back to Tagaytay and eat at Mano’s Greek Taverna. I’ve long been wanting to try Greek food.
