Friends, Food, and Sunset

One of the things that I like about living in Laguna is how an ordinary, no-schedule day Saturday, can turn into a spontaneous medyo-out-of-local-town weekend.

I was just at the car wash when I got a call from Poch saying our friends wanted to go to Liliw for whatever reason. An hour and a half later, I find myself on the way to Liliw with my friends. Last time I was in Liliw was back in October 2013. It is still the same but we never got the time to try the famous cute restaurant called Arabela.

We arrived at around 3pm already and this time, luckily we got probably the last good seats in the house: corner spot with couch. I took this photo from where I was seated but this photo was taken after the guests have gone. (Because they probably wouldn't want to dine and appear in someone else's blog)

What I didn't like about the interior is the low ceiling. Check out Poch and Lyle haha 

Without further ado, let's have a quick review of the food.

Jim ordered this four cheese pizza, which tastes more like Tomato Pizza with cheese for the tomato's taste is a lot more dominant than the supposedly four cheese. 

 I ordered the carbonara, which is the safest. It costs Php 100.00.

 But it is just a small serving in reality. It's okay for a carbonara although I can get one with similar taste at Pizza hut.

 Jim, Mhy and Lyle ordered the lasagna. And Lyle could swear that hours later he can still taste the spices in his mouth.

Poch ordered this with an extra order of rice. I forgot what this is called and I don't remember hearing him rave about it.

BUT, this, my darlings, is my favorite: The Chocolate Chip Cheesecake! (Php 110.00)

 It was too sweet for Jim and Lyle's taste but I like it! I'm going to order this again when we come back this month with my girl friends.

After buying house slippers and roaming around the place, we decided on the spot to head to Caliraya to watch the sunset.

Jim, Poch, together with their photographer friends used to chase sunsets in Caliraya for that picture perfect sunset shot. Here we are on the exact same spot trying to capture it via...smartphone.

There were also some visitors and photography enthusiasts on the spot where we were waiting for the sunset. They came prepared with their selfie-sticks while Poch served as our human monopod. We were supposed to have a group shot with the Caliraya sunset background as Jim came prepared with a DSLR and a tripod but we got too busy trying to capture the actual going down of the sunset in our smartphones.

And by little past 7pm, we were already in our own homes and have called it a day.

I had a good first month for the year 2015. How about you?
