Pinoy Care Box

When my brother came home a few months back, we welcomed him with a care box of Filipino grocery items.  It contains his favorite chichirya, Boy Bawang, Century Tuna, Lucky Me Pansit Canton, Purefoods Corned Beef, Taba ng Talangka, Reno Liver Spread, Chocnut, Flat Tops, just to name a few.  It's practically a sari-sari store in a box.

Long story short, he wanted to travel light and decided to leave the box behind.  He only took a few items with him.  The noodles and some of the canned goods are still in the pantry as I write.  Oh well...it's the thought that counts.

Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm

We wanted our roadtrip to be not the usual Tagaytay trip where a view of Taal Volcano along Taal Vista is always part of the itinerary.  Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm seems like a break from the usual so we decided to go there.

This is my first time in a bee farm, so apart from seeing a lot of bees, I really didn't know what to expect.

The farm is a huge and except for the name post pictured above, I didn't see a lot of bees buzzing around.

This is a place for the nature lover.  It has a fantastic view and I especially enjoyed the flowers around the area.  We were told that the flowers are used by the bees for pollination.

Ilog Maria also sells honey, beeswax, bath and beauty products.  Check out their website.
