Tagaytay Mid-Week Treat

Tagaytay is the perfect place for chilling out

Tagaytay has always had a special place in my heart. So when I got an invitation from my good friend, Tita Vicky, for a luncheon treat, I immediately accepted it. The luncheon was arranged for some of Tita Vicky's close friends in celebrating her birthday.

Tita Vicky met Daisy and Cecille at McDo outlet at the corner of Quezon Avenue and EDSA. I, on the other hand, met Mark at Waltermart on Pasay Road. From there, we picked up Ryan at Coastal Mall along Roxas Blvd.
