Tagatay Highland

tagatay is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Beth (my vocal instructor) and i.

she really has powerful vocals.

it was my pleasure to be taught by her.

filippinos are one of the best singers on earth.

Dining at Sonia Garden - a garden concept restaurant

it's salad starters are just fascinating, the ingredients (i.e vege, fruits) were fresh and the salad dressings were just a sinfully good. Aunt bought each of us their specialty dressing - "Sonia Dressing". Absolutely delightful, i never knew salad could taste that good until i tried the salad here.

i can't speak much about the main course (salmon pasta) though.

i believe people come to this restaurant mainly just for the salad.

KTV with colleagues :)

Serena's birthday!

Fion has by far the best voice amongst us...almost thought i was hearing from the actual disk.
