Sta. Rosa as what i can remember back then is a town with vast green fields and some few uncultivated piece of land, the roads were not that polished and the houses - most of them are not really eye-catchy. But hey again!.I looked around and ask the question again. Am i on the right place?.
Ayala Corporation did one hell of a great job with Nuvali. According to my research☺, Nuvali stands for new beginnings.
* “Nova”, latin for birth of star
* “Valley”, a place of growth and substance
And Ayala Land justify the word substance with just the look of Nuvali.
Too much of the advertisement and so lets continue with my trip. I entered Nuvali and go straight Starbucks to wait and meet my usual date, Dale who is just living inside AUP, 7 mins ride from where i am. I chose to sit outside the cafe to cover my eyes on the place while waiting for my friend. To my delight in front of the cafe stands a 2-storey National Book Store. I am a bookworm and seeing another place of comfort delights me!. .I can live inside a bookstore all my life!
Another thing that amazed me is the atmosphere of the place, its near Tagaytay and it is very cold. I have to round up my neck a scarf even in the middle of the afternoon. The air is so cool and the ambiance of the place is so peaceful. Really a perfect place to just sit down, relax, look around and be at piece with a book in hand.
Dale arrived and he took me an a tour around the place. We went around the man made lake with so much Koi fish. There's so many of them that they have to jump each others body to catch the food being thrown at them. It is so much fun feeding the Koi fish!. I feel like id been back to my childhood and i cant hide the delight in my eyes. After feeding the fish, i went off and rent a bike to go around the whole place. It is so cheap for only P60 for the full hour and comes with a protective helmet. Good! All the people here is so warm and friendly. Even one of the personnel help me chose a low seat bike because the standard one is so high for me.
Thank you Manong! And so there i go and follow the trail provided on the map. I went to the bridge over the lake, the patio, over the landscape and far on the Glass house. Yes, there is a Glass house in Nuvali.If you go over with your family you can also go rent a boat and go water biking. I just don't know how much the rate is but i assume it is cheap since a lot of people i see go for one!.
Finally after a long and fun biking experience we decided to take our late lunch or might be just the early diner of the day. We have a lot of choices like Italianni's, Brothers Burger, Reyes Barbeque, Domo Tomo and etc., we decide to take our food at Conti's.
....and what comes to our table is this...

For the variety of food list the is in front of me, i opt for a healthy one. So i go for Seafood Au Gratin, which for me the fish is quite bitter for my tongue..

After the meal i left the place with a big smile on my face. I fell in love with Nuvali and i know i would definitely be back soon with my family and close friends.
