Hello Philippines!

Trip to Manila and Tagaytay

My mother, sister and I decided it was about time to pay a visit to our family in the Philippines (seeing as how it has almost been a decade since we've visited). We spent five days with cousins and aunts, waking up to buffet breakfast and eating almost every moment thereafter. Every day was spent with a different family, exchanging summaries of the past ten years of life. The vast majority of our trip was spent in Manila and we took an overnight trip to Tagaytay to visit an Inne owned and run by one of my aunts0 it was beautiful! My family is the best.

Highlighted advice from one of my titas-hillarious: "You young girls need to stop thinking with your hearts, that's why you'll all go hungry"
