Hi, guys! I have been on hiatus mode for two days in a row because I am currently here in Tagaytay to have my much-needed vacation. I really am enjoying my time here. Yay!
By the way, here’s a photo of the dining area in our French-inspired room. It’s so pretty, right? How are you guys? Hope all is well with all of you.

How far away is Tagaytay from your home? The term stay-cation usually means you do things at home while off, I didn't think you could stay in a nice place and not actually be on vacation unless you are close enough to go back home in between times and take care of things there too.
So are you from the Philippines or somewhere else?
I see your user name says your're a freelancer. Why type of things do you do for freelancing? Is it mainly your blog or do you find writing jobs online too? Another member, from Romania, is looking for ways to make more to pay bills. I do see that you also blog and that could be the main way you freelance.

@freelancermariagrace You actually earn enough to live on doing that? Most of us can't make enough doing only that. Good for you.

It is only an hour away from home, depends on the traffic. And I consider it a staycation as I only stayed in the condotel during my 2-day vacation due to online work. Yes, I am from the PH and I am a freelancer. I earn a living from doing some article writing gigs

Yay, thank you, Ma'am Ingrid. 
I haven't seen the Pretty Woman movie yet. But I'll include it on my must-watch movie list.

@freelancermariagrace Anywhere with him would be the best. But if we have budget it would really be great to go to Tagaytay.

You should go with your boyfriend, Floraine. There are many things you can do/see in Tagaytay.

Yes, Courtney. But I wasn't able to go out yesterday (explore, go to some tourist spots, etc) because I had some errands to do.

It can be. It also means staying in one’s home which includes day trips to local attractions

That looks lovely. It would be giving you a feeling of being in a much wanted foreign place without actually spending that much and going there.

Yes, Marlina. But I didn't feel like it was a vacation because I had to work online.
