Hotel Kimberly "Kimberlybest" Tagaytay

August 2011

Hotel Kimberly nestled close to Tagaytay City's cafe district. It offers elegant accommodation, modern facilities, and genuine hospitality of its friendly and efficient staff.

From Manila you can take a bus bound to Nasugbu get off at Amadeo road and get a tricycle and tell them that you're going to Hotel Kimberly (Brgy Kaybagal). (Alam na nila yun), It cost Php15 per person. The hotel might be too far from the city district but it's worthy.


As seen in their website (Location Map)

First glimpse of the hotel


Medyo makulim-lim nung nagpunta kami kaya ganyan, :P infront of the hotel is the drop off point, i think public vehicles weren't allowed to enter the vicinity so, we walked towards the entrance.

Upon seeing the facade of the hotel I'm excited to see what's inside, upon checking-in the hotel staffs hurriedly approached us and get our things they waited until were done complying all the things that are needed for an overnight stay.


sulat-sulat din.

The guests won’t miss the comfort of home with the well-appointed and elegantly furnished rooms of the hotel.

Each room is fully air-conditioned and is fitted with a shower and bathtub with hot and cold water systems. It is also equipped with modern-day essentials, like cable television, hair dryer, ironing board, IDD/ NDD phone, room safe, and mini-bar. Newspapers are also delivered daily.

Hotel Kimberly offers a reasonable price for their accommodations. Superior rooms costs P3670 , Deluxe rooms P4486 (your choice of One queen size bed or Two single bed) and for a Premiere suite it costs P5302 (Family room / maximum of 4 pax).

We chose to stay in the superior room with queen size bed.

A short visit to Caleruega : where it all began

August 2011

Jorge planned a trip to tagaytay and asked me where i want to go, I said we can visit the caleruega church then, having known the place made me want to visit it again.

I will always loved Caleruega for two reasons: First, this is where we held our College Retreat many good memories and kakulitan (meron pang muntik di gumradweyt) had happened. Second, this is where Jorge  (finally! with all the guts! because he's so mahiyain type of guy) asked me if i want him to be my boyfriend. I'm not surprised when he asked me this question, because I assumed this will happen (assumera! hahaha! atleast alam ko ang isasagot ko).

From Cubao we take a bus bound to Nasugbu travel time is approximately 2hours fare is 100 plus we get off at Evercrest (the landmark to Caleruega) from there we rode a tricycle, it was a rough rode going to the place it took us 15 minutes to reach the place, fare is P60.00 pesos. We get the cellphone number of the Manong driver so that when were done visiting the church we can text him to fetch us in the place. (very good idea! ^__^ ). (not knowingly manong driver waited for us outside until were done, when we asked him he denied so, we paid an extra fee and lots of thank you po for his kindness).

Entrance fee in Caleruega is P40-50.00 pesos d ko na maalala, I must say i really miss the place parang nagflashback lahat skin nung retreat namin na-miss ko mga college classmates ko and si FM hihi. :)


Caleruega, Close to Nature. Closer to God

This stairs is designed to symbolize fertility.

When I'm done taking photos i sat on the grass to rest for a while, Jorge was roaming around I'm with the white Dog anyway who always follow us because he wanted to eat he's asking food from us. :)


tha'ts me with the white Dog

Ang bait ng Dogy

need'nt i know na tuma-timing na itong c jorge hihi

Jorge sat beside me and hand me this paper. I asked him what is it for? he said just read it on.

His 101 reasons why he love me.

In fairness ha! hihi

ayan natapos din. :P

Infairness to him I assumed na magtatapat na xa but i never expected that he will give me this one so after i read it, I said. 

                                             Me:  Thank you! kaso mali-mali naman kaya ang grammar 
                                           mo tapos yung iba kinopya mo lang ata eh.
                                            Him: Hindi inisip ko yan.
                                            Me:  Oh, anong gusto mong mangyari? 
                                            Him:  Hindi mo ba itatanong kung ano yung 101?
                                            Me :  Ay, Oo nga ano ba yun?
                                            Him : I love you and I want to marry you here.
                                            Me:  Nyi, as if naman kaya mo?  Anong date ba ngayon?
                                            Him : Oo naman kaya ko, 19 ngayon.                                                              
                                            Me :  eh pag sinagot kita ngayon magiging 19 ang monthsary natin 
                                                    maganda bang date yun? ( ayos sa segue hihi!).
                                            Him : Oo naman maganda yun, yung one kasi nag-iisa ka lang sa puso ko
                                                     tapos yung 9 lucky nine sa mga chinese maswerte yun.
                                            Me : Nyi, ang korny mo. 
                                            Him : Totoo naman yun.
                                            Me : hmm. 5 months ka na nanliligaw, O cge na nga kawawa ka naman.
                                            Him : (Medyo naiiyak) Thank you Yen! I love you! 
                                                   
P.S. : After he said the last line nahulugan xa ng camera na nasa tripod sa mukha. hahaha

To sum up, Oo very highskulish ang nangyari nevertheless i dont care i loved what Jorge did! Im Happy and overwhelmed. ^__^ 

And then he kissed me on my forehead and hugged me, and we had a lil' talked regarding the situation. (parang naging formality sake na lang ang pagsabi niya nito hihi kasi parang kami na rin naman bago pa ito pero syempre iba na din yung pormal). 


Moving on, sa Caleruega na din kami kumain ng lunch and then we  went to the main church to say a prayer.


ito yung room namin nung nagretreat kami talagang piniktyuran ko hihi

After a year nakabalik ako. Thanks God!

Caleruega church, d kasi maganda ang cam ko kaya ganyan hihi

Happiness ^__^

And so this is how our relationship as a couple and as a traveler's began. After this, we've been to many places and i'll be posting it soon. (Ang nasa isip ko ng mga panahon na to, thankful ako may kasama na ko gumala, ako kasi laging gusto pumunta sa ibang lugar kaso wala akong kasama dahil ang mga friends kong iba d din pwede, on the other hand si Jorge gusto din kaso wala xang kasama so perfect! ako na laging nag-aaya at siya na nagaantay ng may mag-aaya. hihi. )

Thanks for this day Jorge ^__^ Im glad I was able to find a man who'll be there for me no matter what.  ♥
