lily's

i was moving photo albums to my external hardrive and reviewed albums from my trip to the philippines last year.

i was amazed of the millions of photos i still need to upload. i laughed and smiled at most of them, some, i felt teary eyed for the memories.

but the album that really caught my eye was the album of our memorable trip to Lily's----Patricia's ancestral family farm. our lovely hosts Tita Loy and Tita Rudy and Patricia are not only the most gracious hosts you can ever meet in this lifetime, they are the most creative and they really go above and beyond what normal hosts would do.

this post, is just a mini reminder of what a beautiful place Lily's is, i will upload the entire album @ my multiply site so that tita loy will see how memorable that trip was for me, adrian and ana.

my heart sighs at these photos..and the food prepared for that day (i promise to beg tita loy to invite me again on my next trip to cebu).




a quote from tita loy's close friend who visited Lily's




this setting is just making one speechless




furnitures that were handpicked with love and polished by time



merienda upon arriving at the farm



lunch was waiting during merienda



snacks in the afternoon



sungka



sundial/birdbath




the driveway..

-the drive to the place was pleasurable because of the sights we had to pass through

-the bedrooms were beautiful, (four poster wooden beds, and antique linens), and the breeze just adds to the entire romantic place that it is...

-we did poetry reading (from Tita Loy's favourite poet,the name slips me) and ate great food the entire day

-on the way home,we passed by one of the Alix's friends... tita loy introduced adrian and i to the owner of Borussia, a German baker where Adrian orders his bread since then.

-the place is an artists haven...poets, painters,photographers, dancers and just any soul wishing to whispher their secrets to the passing breeze.

im definitely going back..i just have to ask tita loy to organize another soiree @ Lilys.
