Taal Volcano in Tagaytay

Yeah! i managed to visit Taal Volcano in Tagaytay during my first weekend in Philippine. Before this, my friend had told me that it is a must-to-go place as you'll never see the volcano in Malaysia or Singapore. So i was extremely excited when my two friendly collegues offered themselves to become my tour guide of the day. Hehe. Really thanked to them very very much. :)

This is the volcano. Can you see it?

Actually we never went near to the crater of the volcano as i was told that the expensese was quite expensive and you'll have to hike for few hours to reach the crater. So we went to Leslies Restaurant in Tagaytay which provides a good view of the Taal volcano while we can also have our delicious lunch over there. Besides, Tagaytay is also a popular tourist destination because of its cool climate due to its high altitude.

 These are the beautiful view from the restaurant..

small volcano on my hand...haha.. xD

Luckily the wheather of the day was very good so that i could capture such beautiful photos. Hehe. :P

Beautiful night view of Manila

Inside the Vivere Hotel, there is only one restaurant which located at the 31st floor (the highest floor) so basically for my first week of stay i had the dinner at the skylounge everyday. Eat until i wanna vomit already as day day western food and the portion is too much for me, not sure if i have gained weight or not after few weeks here. =.=

Beautiful night view from skylounge...

Morning view from my room, floor 27th..





Besides, the hotel is well-equipped with amenities like swimming ppol, gym, jacuzzi, sauna and spa but unfortunately i have no time to enjoy them until now. Maybe i'll try them out this evening...hehe...

Vivere Hotel in Philippines

Finally i'm a bit free to update my Philippine trip. Reached here last Tuesday and i had a very bad experience in the Manila aiport and annoyed me upon my arrival. You will hardly to believe that the guard asked for the laptop tax, this was first time i heard that ppl who brought the laptop need to pay tax. >.< Of course, i had questioned him what is the reason for me to pay the tax since i only visit philippine for few days and that is my own laptop and is not new. He still confidently told me that it was the rules to pay the tax. Then i argued with him for few minutes and asked him to show me the proof and as expected he can't show me. So just a reminder to all, be careful if you are coming to philippine, there are some ppl who may take the advantage of tourists to earn more money....

Luckily the angry feeling was immediately washed away by the enthusiastic welcome of the hotel staff upon my arrival in Vivere Hotel. Their service are really very very good, all the staff are extremely kind and always greet you with a big smile. I just can't resist to praise them... :)

Here is the hotel entrance..

This is the hotel lobby..

I'm staying at floor 27th..

Let's go to take a look at my room.....  The hotel staff told me that my room was upgraded to suite without extra charge, i was so happy to hear that but after that i met another ST collegue from France, he told me that the hotel staff also telling him the same story the time he checked in. Hmm...we doubt that if our room were really upgraded or just a strategy of the hotel. But anyway, i'm very satisfied with this room.... :)

Philippine is well-known for its sweet tasting manges, so don't forget to have a taste of the mangoes here if you are coming to Philippine... 

离别的感伤

上个星期又一个同事离职了，看着身边熟悉的同事一个又一个的走了说真的还蛮伤心的，毕竟大家一起工作了那么多年也一起并肩作战过。。。好伤感哦！！

当然，离别在即的晚餐是不可缺少的，这次大家决定到UnitedSquare的Vienna International Seafood and Teppanyaki Buffet Restaurant 大吃一顿。

由于哪儿不应许拍照所以我只能拍些自己吃的食物。因为皮肤有些许对海鲜敏感所以也没办法大快朵颐的吃海鲜，对我来说好像超不划算的。。哈哈。。下次应该带个超能吃的人一同去。。

这可是佛跳墙噢。。

食物方面蛮多选择的，除了中试，西式还有日式，teppanyaki,　甜点和水果。。

最后当然少不了大合照啦，这张看不到我因为我负责拍照嘛。。

这张我有在哟，看到我了吗？？





一眼望过去所有都是我以前同一组的同事，如今且剩下我一个人孤军作战，一想到就好伤心哦。当然大家还是有机会见面的，记得保持联络别忘记我哟！！

101010 正式注册为人妻

101010的这一天除了举行佛化婚礼，当然也少不了正式注册的仪式啦。在佛化婚礼举行完毕后，我们就赶场到峇株中华公会在见证人的见证下正式注册为夫妻。。。

就这样签个名非常简单的程序不到五分钟，我已是人妻了。。哈哈哈。。

 最后来张合照。。。

过后当然是两家人去大吃一顿庆祝101010这大日子，我们在峇株的海景酒楼请了两桌。。。

老实说当天还真有点紧张也不知道自己是否真的准备好为人妻，毕竟是人生必经之路也只好随意而安。到最后汉的父母问我‘你现在应该改口叫我什么啊？’时，我真的是不知要如何称呼。‘妈妈’这个字忽然之间变得好难启齿。。。但最后还是很尴尬的叫了。。。 =.=  表面上生活并没有很大的改变但是实际上已开始进入人生的另一阶段噢, 也许是时候该好好的计划我人生的未来啦。。。。

101010 幸福的这一天 - Part 3

好不容易来到佛化婚礼的最后一part了。。。上次提到颁发纪念品，接下来就是接受师父们的祝福仪式。师父的训话让我们获益良多，佛化强调不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语及不饮酒，在家弟子必须遵守这五戒及了解它的意义而不是盲目的尊崇。师父也强调夫妻之间的相处之道，男女之间要互相尊敬，互相礼让，互相关怀及互相谅解。我非常赞同师父所说的话，我会铭记在心的，阿弥陀佛。。

接着师父为我们诵经祝福，还以诵过经的绳子缠着我们的尾脂便礼成。。。



而我们也以师父平常会用到的日常用品回礼来供养师父。。

最后当然是接受亲友和佛友们的祝福，我们还拍了很多照片来留念，老了之后回想当年应该是个难忘的回忆。。。

非常感谢峇株吧辖佛教会把佛化婚礼办得很成功，也把场地布置得很漂亮。。。感恩！！谢谢佛友们的帮忙，你们辛苦了。。。 :)

101010 幸福的这一天 - Part 2

在唱完三宝歌和赞佛曲后，我们得诚心的为佛主点灯及上香，为佛主献花。。。

在献花后，我们得为双方父母行感恩礼，感谢父母含辛茹苦的养育之恩，感激父母循循善诱的教导。。。


过后是交换戒指的时候了，汉超紧张的所以帮我戴了很久才把戒指戴上。。。=.=

 新人互相行礼。。


接着是签署佛化婚礼的证书仪式，佛教还特地设计了一个纪念品给我们留念，是一个很特别的相架，里面还有我们的照片噢，谢谢峇株吧辖佛教会，感恩！！





哇，好想还有还多东西要写啊，待续．．．
