Yesterday, we celebrated Michelle’s birthday with her family at Serentina in Bulacan. Actually, the place is officially named “Serentina Estates” but I have this maybe simplistic notion that estate pertains to a big piece of land, and it isn’t :P But that’s not a bad thing. There’s a two-story open building that can be used for events. The building is well appointed with a bar and restrooms on both floors. In front of the building is a small pool. The pool has a shallow kiddie pool section and Jeanne had fun wading in it. Below the pool area, there’s a wide garden with a big tree adorned with Capiz shell lamps as the centerpiece. Off to the corner is a gazebo which is where we stayed. The place is open to the public for swimming and as a venue for events. But yesterday, there was only us and the whole place was practically our private garden. I love that peace and quiet. I’ve always dreamed of a private garden like this. Someday.
