Joyride + Food Experience in Purple Beetle Café Twin Lakes

Wandering and eating are some things my sister and I love to do together. One Sunday, we roamed around Silang, Cavite and Tagaytay City to find a new good place to hangout. Until it was already past lunch and we're a bit hungry, we looked for a place to eat. I already tried a lot of restaurants and cafes in Tagaytay City. But this one that I'm going to share to you is kinda new. It's our joyride dining experience in Purple Beetle Cafe - Twin Lakes

For those who like to collect lovely photos, for sure they will love this place (so yung mga may Instagram dyan, alam na! XD). The ambiance is so girly because of its purple+pink colors. Plus, you can see the breath-taking view of Taal Lake from here. Keep on reading to see! ;)

The history of this cafe is interesting. Its name was after the purple beetle toy car of the owner's child. Purple Beetle Cafe is not only a good place to eat and chill. The said cafe also has an online shop, where they showcase and sell handcrafted accessories, decorations, and home-made products.

Books and board games are usual in every cafe. But this cafe has coloring activity to offer if you feel a bit dull. They have here coloring pens and pages. Interesting, right? :)

I ordered TapSiLog, Mango Sundae, and English Tea, while my sister ordered Chicken Buffalo Wings and Cucumber Lemonade. All in big servings. :) 

Chicken Buffalo Wings: 4/5, lack of sauce, but the taste and quality is not compromised.

TapSiLog: 5/5

Picture with sissy. Staff are approachable, and they are always smiling. They are fast, we didn't wait for our orders that long. :)

More space outside. It would be nice to dine here if it was not hot that time. It was around 2PM, and the sun rays made the spot hot. So we chose to eat inside.

Hop in and enjoy the ride!

The view. So refreshing.

Superb Dining Experience at Sigsaga Buffet

Good news to all southies! Are you craving for samgyupsal and yakiniku, but can't find an affordable place to be? You guys must try Sigsaga Buffet, located at BF Resort Village, Las Pinas City.

Sigsaga Buffet held a relaunch event last Saturday, October 20, 2018. They showcased their improved menu. Now they got more to offer to satisfy your cravings. Enjoy their unlimited pork and beef, korean and japanese dishes, desserts, and bottomless drinks, still at Php299 only. But, every Wednesday from 12 noon to 4PM, price goes down to Php275. Exciting, right?

Their second branch.

Don't worry about grilling indoors because they got enough and well-ventilated space so you can still enjoy the superb dining experience at Sigsaga. Let their staff assist you if you need, they are approachable. :)

Price list. Charge still applies for leftovers.

They got more dining space upstairs.

Table is now set. Grill time!

Upgrade your Php299 by adding Php150 for unlimited seafood. So sulit!

Pork, beef, lettuce... Everything served fresh.

I usually don't eat shrimp tempura. But when I do, dito lang yon sa Sigsaga! Round 2? :D

An Open Letter to My Ex

Dear Derp,

Hi. Kamusta ka na? Sana mabasa mo ito. Sorry kung nakaabala ako. Pero hindi ko rin kase maiwasang maalala na sana 6th anniversary natin ngayon.
Gusto ko lang sabihin na nami-miss kita, buong ikaw at lahat ng ginagawa nating magkasama. I miss your smell, your touch, your music.
Ang saya natin dati. And until now naka-hang pa rin ako, bakit iniwan mo ako ng walang reason.

Mahal naman kita at alam ng buong mundo iyon. Pinaglaban kita. Tinulungan kita, inalagaan. Nagpakaayos ako ng sarili ko. Tinanggap kita sa kung ano ka, lahat ng good and bad sides mo. Ayoko ngang nadadapuan ka ng insekto saka napagpapawisan eh. Pati nga utot mo salo ko. Nagkulang ba ako? Lumabis? Blankong blanko talaga ako Derp, as in hindi ko alam kung bakit. Binigay ko naman ang lahat, but in the end, sumuko ka, at hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit. Isang malaking BAKIT.

Alam mo ba, gusto kitang kulitin, i-message, tawagan... Gusto kitang guluhin, at piliting makipagbalikan sa akin. I know alam mo yan kase kilala mo akong makulit eh. At kung ano ang gusto ko makuha pinipilit ko talaga. Kaso batid kong ilang beses na nauulit itong problema na ito sa atin. Sabi ko nga, kaya ko pang lumaban. Ako pa! Kaso ganun pa rin, talo pa rin ako, at ikaw sumuko na so hindi na magwo-work pa. Kaya kong panindigan ang mga pangako ko, pero wala na ring patutunguhan pa kase ung taong gusto kong alayan ng buong pagmamahal ko, umayaw na.

Sobrang sakit pa rin hanggang ngayon, iniiyakan pa rin kita sa araw at gabi, minsan sa kalagitnaan ng trabaho ko. Kase ang pangarap ko ay ikaw habangbuhay, gusto ko ikaw na sa huli. Kase masaya ako sayo. Kasi tinanggap mo ako sa kung sino ako. And the fact na nakakailang boyfriend na ako, kaya ayoko na talaga maghanap pa ng iba. Hindi na rin naman tayo mga bata. Yung maging end game kita, kahit yun man lang matira ko para sa sarili ko. Kaya nagpakaayos ako at ginalingan ko sayo.
Kaya lagi kong tanong, bakit? Bakit sumuko ka na?

Bakit kasi hindi mo kaya ang responsibility? Nagtagal tayo, pero bakit ganito, am I really not enough to help you? Bakit hindi mo kayang mahalin ang sarili mo? Yun na lang talaga ang kulang, at ang lahat siguradong tatakbo ng maayos kung magagawa mo. Hindi naman yun para sa akin, kundi para sa sarili mo.
Pero gaya ng gusto mo, hindi na kita kukulitin. Minsan nga bine-brainwash ko na lang sarili ko na baka everything you did is just to please me. Pero may side sa akin na hindi, mahal mo rin ako. Lalo na pag naaalala kong ako yung nilalapitan mo para maiyakan pag hindi mo na kaya.
Ngayon kaya, kamusta ka?
Hay...

Pero heto, bigay ko na sayo yung space na gusto mo. Kung hindi talaga ako effective edi ganun na lang.
So this time magbibigay na rin ako para sa sarili ko. Ikaw na dating nagpapaligaya sa akin (next to my family), ngayon pipilitin kong maging masaya sa ibang bagay. Ayoko namang magpakalunod sa lungkot, pipilitin ko nang hindi umiyak at magpuyat, masama sa health ko. Kailangan ko rin talaga mag-move on, kasi nahihirapan akong umasa, lalo na't kitang kita sayo na ayaw mo na talaga. Naaawa rin naman ako sa sarili ko, at ayoko ding nakikita ang tatay ko na nalulungkot o nagagalit pag nakakapagsalita ako ng mga bagay like naghahabol ako sayo, bagay na gusto ko talagang gawin, pero dapat nang itigil.
Alam kong may formal break up naman na tayo, pero from now on, titigil na rin ako.
Pero hindi ako nagsasalita ng TAPOS.
Hindi kita makakalimutan. Hindi ko itatapon ang lahat sa atin.
Hindi ikaw ang 1st boyfriend ko, pero ikaw ang greatest heartbreak ko, NA HANDA KO PA RIN YAKAPIN NG SOBRANG HIGPIT KUNG MAGBABALIK.

Maalala mo lang yung sinabi ko sayo na pag better person ka na, ako ang pinakamasayang tao. At maging better person ka man with someone new, kahit masakit, masaya na rin ako, at least better person ka na.
Andito pa rin ako para sayo.
Hindi kita hihintayin, pero sana hindi ka mag-hesitate na lumapit if need mo, kahit anong dahilan pa yan, kahit kasama lang sa foodtrip or gala mo. Ako pa rin itong tumanggap sayo after mong ipakilala sa akin ang pinakamadilim na parte ng mundo mo.
Pangako, hindi ka magsisisi sa paglapit mo sa akin. Nasa puso lang kita lagi.

Mag iingat ka lagi ha? Sana you're learning to love yourself na. Regards na lang sa papa at kuya mo. Salamat na rin, at sorry sa lahat ng nagawa kong mali.
Galingan mo sa work and studies mo. Live healthy, para sayo din yan. Godbless.
Until we meet again.


Your Derpina,
Anja D.
