Take Me Away to Dreamland Arts and Cafe… (Part 2)

Craving for something to eat?

There are small tables and chairs for their customers who want to dine. 

Is it lovely?


My friend and I were quite famished so we took a seat and ordered for our lunch. They had wonderful food choices for individual and group. 

Menu board



We picked the Dreamer's Combo Meals.  My friend chose the IndieGo (285php) while I took a chance with Blaze (285php). 

IndieGo has Rice, Indie Wings, Crispy Mojos, Honeymansi Juice and 3'Ms. 



While Blaze has Rice, Pishy Pops, Crispy Mojos, Pinemansi and 3M's . 





Sadly at that time, their signature dessert was sold out. They serve though yummy chocolate cupcake. 



I'm not a fan of eating rice but somehow I like their rice variant. I also commend their potato chips. Most of the foods they serve are all fresh and no preservatives. Wow!

You got me at the no wifi zone!

I like that they have these areas where they sell and support locally made products.






Too pretty to bring home.




They have space also for creative people to do their craft and for kids who want to learn about arts. 

Time to buy pasalubong... 







Gourmet


My friend purchased a pretty violet bracelet while these are the items that I brought.


I was satisfied with I got. 

Thank you to Dreamland Cafe and Arts for the GC and for being very accommodating.

Hello dear friend M!
Yours truly, Pau of Perks Be With You
I will definitely be back to stay to their breakfast and bed.

Take Me Away to Dreamland Arts and Cafe… (Part 1)

Have you ever felt dream and reality collides in an instant? 

I did when my feet step inside the magical and artistic world of Dreamland Arts and Cafe. 



This place can be found at Purok 157, Barangay San Jose, Tagaytay City near McDonald’s — Olivares.  

If you are from Manila like me, ride a bus going to Nasugbu. Tell the driver to drop you off at Olivarez Tagaytay Bus Stop. From Olivarez you can walk your way to Rotunda and from there walk going down to Cityland condo. The place is beside the Verazza hotel and along the highway.

It was almost eleven in the morning when my friend and I arrived at the cafe. I was instantly fell in love with the place! 



I'm ceiling in love with you!

I'm a huge fan of dreamcatchers and just seeing their ceiling full of it, I was awed. 



I wish I could stay here! I love their sofa set which is instagrammable worthy. 

I want this for my dream house!


If you want to stay longer and have overnight, they re-opened their breakfast and bed. We weren't able to check it out but I was able to take pictures of the reception area. 




Here are the photos of their other wonderful spots!

This way to the comfort rooms:

This way or that way? 

I love unique names!


A bit dark though because of not so good lightings. :(


Look at the magazine pages on each door!

A Throwback Date with Destination Wedding!

Are you a fan of Keanu Reeves and Wynona Ryder? These two Hollywood superstars had been prominent in 90's. And I'm very glad to see them in one movie.

I got free tickets to watch the advanced screening of Destination Wedding last Tuesday, October 2 at Cinema 6, Robinsons MovieWorld Galleria. Thank you to 99.5 Play FM!



I remembered that the first film I've seen the 'immortal' looking, Keanu Reeves, was Sweet November. I was in high school back then. Ang tanda ko na! Wynona Ryder had a part in Black Swan and that was the last time I saw her in a film.

It was refreshing to see these two actors who said to be 'married' in an actual film that focussed at a wedding.

Pros
1. The Title

It is predictable that the story would revolve at a wedding but haven't read the synopsis, I was curious. I watched the trailer and yet, I found myself asking, what is about the destination wedding?

2. Two Strangers, One event
What are the odds that you meet a person and you are going to the same place and event? This movie truly showed what is destiny and coincidence.

When Lindsay (Wynona Ryder) met Frank (Keanu Reeves), there was that instant attraction. They just didn't expect that more than being seatmates on the plane, almost roommates (their rooms are abreast) and seatmates again in the venue, they both have the connection with the engaged couple. 

3. Of Love, Belief, and Argument...

Frank and Lindsay are like stones clashing. No one wants to lose the argument. I like how they are bickering and bantering at each other.

Lindsey is a hopeless romantic prosecutor while Frank is a magazine writer. Both are smart people but have different perception about love, marriage, and life. 

4. The breathtaking San Luis Obispo

Honestly, when one says California, all I can think about is San Francisco because I've been there. When I saw that the setting of the wedding features picturesque mountains, vineyard, and garden, I couldn't help but wish to go back to California and visit the place. 


Cons... 
Some dull moments and hanging ending. 

It was not a fast paced film but because it revolved around Frank and Lindsey only, there were scenes that I wanted interaction with the people around them. I absolutely hated an open-ended movie and Destination Wedding makes me beg for more. 

I liked Keanu Reeves' character, he is very smart and at the same time, caring. It was an eye candy seeing Wynona Ryder and Keanu Reeves together again!

PerksBeWithYouRating: 9/10 

(There are so many negative reviews about this film but the laughs that came from the audience last night proved that moviegoers enjoyed it. I was one of them!) 

A better way to end your first week of October is to see this romantic comedy in the big screen! Destination Wedding is showing nationwide today.
