Share Bracing myself for another move, this time back to the North as I go back to university life (yes, a freshman again in my 30s!). About a month ago, I took down the for sale sign for My Nuvali Home, after deciding to stay put in the Philippines ( I was selling to fund [...]
Share Nuvali sunsets turn yellow and pink and purple. So lovely. Click here for a panoramic view. Tweet
ShareTook a wrong turn while biking two weeks ago and found our way to Nuvali’s community nursery, Greens and Patches. We got to explore a bit of the nursery itself, which had rows of trees with matching labels, just like the fruit tree area at the Manila Seedling bank along EDSA. The rest of the [...]

ShareBeen getting to know the bike trails in Nuvali…and so far, my favorite is still the New Zealand trail in Nuvali South. It’s a scenic, easy roll up, roll down trail across the Miriam College site all the way to the back of Venare. We thought weekends would be especially crowded at the trail but [...]
ShareSuch sweet melons from Robinson’s Supermarket Nuvali! We did a quick stop last night to restock on fruits at home and were surprised to find the fruit pile almost emptied out, but for melons and papayas (even bananas were sold out). Seems everyone had fruit salads over the Holy Week. Was glad for it though– [...]
Share Spotted at the mall yesterday — chair leg covers! Didn’t even realize these things existed. Bravo Daiso! I haven’t bought anything for the house in over three months, and I think every homebuilder can relate to this: there just comes a point when you want to put down the builder’s hat and go back [...]
Share Had my first morning trail ride in Nuvali yesterday — was happy to discover a whole new world right under my nose! A friend came to visit so we could go biking, which I took as doing 10K rounds around the village. Ten minutes into the ride and we reached the edge of Avida [...]
ShareNuvali friends, we will soon have our very own yoga studio/healing space/juice bar so close to our homes! I went to check out the site last Saturday — it’s going to be located right above Yellow Cab in Solenad 1: Classes will start in March or April, but the good news is that they are [...]
Share Chanced upon this last Sunday, February 3, 2013. Kanin Club is one of my favorite eating places in the general Nuvali neighborhood (note: it’s in Paseo de Sta. Rosa). Sharing for everyone’s info that they are currently closed and will resume operations on February 18, Monday . Also saw this billboard for the new [...]
ShareFebruary is quickly becoming productivity month. Seems everyone is “in the zone” and busily buzzing about. A friend put it simply: the Christmas magic is gone, and people are now getting into the groove of life again. I also finally picked up the brush last week and wet the canvas. Haven’t painted with oils since [...]
ShareUPDATE as of May 2013: Decided to hold on to the house for now. House is not for sale anymore. Tweet
