Anniversary Weekend in Subic

Everything went according to plan, we were able to reserve a four bedroom house in the Kalayaan Heights residential area. It was a nice house, had a kitchen and had the basic appliances and furnitures for a comfortable stay. The house had centralized airconditioning,had running hot and cold water, and had complete cooking appliances and things for a fraction of the cost if we were to stay in a hotel. It was actually very hard to go out, everyone wanted to stay indoors! Centralized airconditioning and food were the best reasons to stay indoors

And since we brought our Wii, we spent HOURS bonding over the game. The whole family played Bowling and Tennis. And the boys played Boxing and Baseball.

On our first night, we only went out in time for dinner. E and I suggested Meat Plus Cafe because we remembered the place to serve good and cheap steak. The Meat Plus Cafe looked many times better than how we remember it, but sad to say, the food and service were not as good. If you decide to dine there, stay clear of the Tenderloin Steak. It was anything but tender! I was very disappointed. Also, the server only informed us that they didn't have lasagna when all the other orders were already served! And the lasagna was meant for Baby S, who was already hungry by then. We would not be in a hurry to go back to that place.

After dinner, we still had time to go duty-free shopping at Freeport Exchange which is right across Meat Plus. We bought mostly food items, especially breakfast items such as Spam and Corned Beef. Also chips and chocolates.

The next day, after a hearty breakfast of Spam and Corned Beef Rice, we went to Holy Mass and said special prayers for our Parents. We also took some photos near the church:
