Valentine's Day 2010

It's the LOVE month again.  For the past few years we have been going out as a family, all four of us.  Tradition as Lisette or Vinz would say.  Although Vinz is after the meal part.  He would ask us where we'll be having our 'special' dinner.

We had dinner in Tagaytay I think for the last two years or there was maybe one in Subic.  I can't recall correctly.  But for this year, we just want to relax.  A private pool perhaps.  But is wouldn't be as relaxing as a jacuzzi with just the warm water and an indoor environment.  So the best thing to go?  Victoria court.  I learned some hand signals in the process.  This will definitely help me the next time.  hehe...

We figure it would be crowded in the metro during this time of the year so we headed for the Pampanga branch and we were assigned the X-Men theme room.  Well, as usual, the internet picture looks good.  But the real place is not as good. The kids didn't like the ambiance as the room looks weird for them.  WE tried another room but the operator said there was none available.  I figured that they just don't want to fix the other unoccupied rooms.  O well, we're just victims of high pitch marketing I guess.

So what else can we do in such a venue, just watch TV, sit around and enjoy the warm water in the jacuzzi.

I guess the kids are not so much into this kind of place.  Motels in the Philippines have such bad reputation.  I was actually bothered by it.  I just found out about it when Nic decided the roam the area just to check the surrounding.  Oh well, she's too young to know about it and it was better that way as she can just enjoy it.

I'd say it was not one of the better celebrations we've had in the past.  A nice cozy dinner would have been better but, since we're all there, it was ok.  We'll do a better planning next time.
