THE OLDGROVE FARMSTEAD, Lipa Batangas

It’s been 5 years since I last published a journal. Somehow, I suddenly missed writing my travel experiences. I want to relive the excitement of traveling especially after being restricted because of the pandemic. So, I decided to go back to writing and continue sharing my travel experiences with everyone.

Reception Area

First stop on my list of course is in our ancestral hometown – Lipa, Batangas. With one-and-a-half-hour drive from Makati, you will reach The Oldgrove Farmstead in Brgy. Lodlod, Lipa, Batangas. I think the best time to visit the place is around Dec-Feb where the weather is cooler. 



Outdoor dining area

We went there last Jan 2nd and took the breakfast slot. Reservation is required as the restaurant has a limited seating capacity. Price for breakfast is Php 850 per person inclusive of self-guided farm tour entrance fee and breakfast set meal. You are required to pay a 50% down payment via bank transfer to confirm your reservation. Breakfast slot was very relaxed and quiet as only a few people were dining. Since only a few people were dining, you also get to take a nice photo of the place without too much crowd.

The farm has ducks, sheep, snakes, etc. You can opt to feed the ducks and the sheep with food price of Php 150 and are available for purchase at the reception area. Overall, the place is best for families with children. Sharing with you the photos of the place.

Leadership, Teamwork and memories to treasure

Image
In the corporate world, you will always be working as a team and you as a team has to decide whether to rise or fall. As I looked back and reflect on my career life, my stint at HP was the one I enjoyed and the most fulfilling. During the first 4 years of my career, fresh out from college, I was still on the learning stage on how to deal with corporate life doing typically an office staff does – office admin work, finance, sales and marketing. I was typically testing every aspect and finding the niche for myself. Then after 4 years, I decided that I have been staying too long in this company and I needed try something new on a bigger scale. Then an opportunity knocks from HP and applied for a position as an entry level Customer Engagement Advisor. Three things excite me the most upon knowing that I got accepted for the position, 1) new and bigger environment means more room for growth; 2) pioneer team transitioned from a different country to Manila; and 3) bigger team and more peo...

Meeting the "thighwarrior" in me

This is it! My first ever post in my very first "open diary". As this is my first entry, pardon me if you see any grammatical errors of some sort, after all, I set up this blog to practice my writing skills. =) Now into the write-up... Since it's summer, every one is in to fitness and healthy lifestyle to reach that desired beach bod. However, on my case, I only wanted to be physically fit and in shape considering that I am not getting any younger and aside from the fact that I feel heavier and heavier by the day. My colleagues invited me try out Plana Forma at Centris in Quezon City and I must say that this is the only exercise I have enjoyed the most. I have tried going to the gym, and I feel it is just not right for me.  So, what is Plana Forma? It is a 55-minute workout derived from the techniques of Physique 57, influenced by dance, yoga, pilates and sports. Difficulty level of the workout differs on a per level. The class begins with a warm up and uppe...

All smiles with Philippine Airlines

Image
In my recent business trip to Singapore & Chennai last July 4th, I booked my airticket via Philippines Airlines (for the SG leg) because of the ideal flight schedule (I had to take into consideration my connecting flight to Chennai via a different airline). I did my usual online check-in to avoid the long queue in the airport. I always have this impression with Philippines Airlines that their flights always get delayed (based on the experience of my friends), hence, I was expecting that my flight will be delayed as well. I arrived at the airport and proceeded to the check-in counter to drop my baggage and because my layover is about 10 hours in Singapore, I told the ground staff that my luggage will be "tagged along" (I am not sure if this was the correct airline term). The ground staff who attended to me was very friendly and smiling at all times and proactively placed a priority tag on my bag. She told me that she will be placing a priority tag on my bag so it will no...
