Months ago I've been dreaming of having my very own private sanctuary in the chilly atmosphere of Tagaytay. In fact, I've been property hopping for the last three months, checking out different residential and condo living communities in this area. Why not? It's the perfect go-to destination that is just a quick drive away from my place and i love spending weekends at Tagaytay ever since i was young. I know dreams do come true and i'm praying earnestly about it. Until a week ago, i was once again invited by Martine De Luna of Make It Blissful for another Avida Land event at this dreamy place. I was lucky to have a peek inside Serin East Tagaytay, the newest condominium project of Avida Land in the heart of Tagaytay City and i was like thinking, is this a sign?

The kids' semester break officially kicked off before October ends and while our Big Daddy is still on vacay we planned to have a short staycation in one of the hotels in Batangas. Literally, a staycation because it's less than an hour drive away from home.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HALLOWEEN

Admittedly, a lot of parents today were all excited for the Halloween Costume Parties and Trick or Treat that different communities has in store for the kids and even adults alike. In full disclosure, I, for one, belongs to the group of thrilled parents who prepares for this annual event, considering it as one important celebration that my kids shouldn't miss. Yes, i allow them and even join them in trick-or-treating since 2010 until last year, which was, unfortunately, their last Halloween Trick or Treat party.
