What’s nice about La Luz Beach Resort is you don’t have to think where or what to eat, prepare “baon” (food to bring), cook or grill during your stay/summer getaway because buffets (breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner) are included in the accommodation. Actually, guests are required to avail the food package per person for an overnight stay.Imagine, all you have to do is wait for the meal time and more time will be spent on swimming, other activities in the resort, bonding with family and friends, relaxin...
Visita Iglesia is a Spanish word of Visit Church. It is a Filipino Catholic tradition originating in Rome to visit 7 churches on Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday). I have my “panata” (vow, a solemn promise made to God or a repayment for a prayer or wish that was granted) to visit, pray and meditate at National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus in Manila every year. I started this “panata” after I passed the board exam and this year is my 10th anniversary.This year’s Holy Thursday, I had my first Visita Iglesia i...
Yes! It’s summertime na (yehey!). And, just a perfect time to think and dream beach. Why dream if there are beaches not too far from Manila and some of those are found in Batangas. So if you want to spend summer wisely or don’t have extra money to buy plane tickets going to Boracay with your friends and family of course, nearest beach resort is not a bad idea. I have been to different beach resorts in Batangas and this La Luz Beach Resort in Laiya, San Juan is worth the try.Near the parking lot is the re...

This is actually one of my late posts. Not too late because this dinner buffet with my colleagues happened only last month, December last year to be exact. It was Friday night, just more than a week before Christmas. It was my first time to enter and dine at Makati Shang. I am very much thankful to my colleagues, especially to my bosses who had a bigger amount of share on the food (buffet) bills that I was again able to experience dining at one of the five star hotels in the metro.This luxurious hotel is...
As Christmas approaches, I together with close friends, officemates at the same time decided to have dinner at Kanin Club in Ayala Triangle Gardens. This was not our first time to dine there. But whenever we feel like going to Ayala Triangle Gardens, Kanin Club is always on top of our list.This was the scene at Kanin Club at night. Those people outside were waiting for their seats. We were at number 8 (as far as I remember) on the waiting list when we arrived.Btw, for those who don’t know Kanin Club yet,...
If you’re looking for a party venue, why not consider Shakey’s in SM North Edsa. I had my son’s birthday party there and I just want to share it with you (this post is dedicated to my imaginary readers looking for kid’s party venue plus party ideas at affordable rate ).I always wanted a party held at place inside malls. Why? First, mall is very accessible. I won’t have the hard time giving instruction to my guests on how to get to the venue. Second, there are lots of parking spaces in case most of them ...
I have been planning and preparing to throw a kid’s party for my son’s birthday when I found Blushing Cupcakes Café in Sky Garden, SM North EDSA. I was actually looking for a birthday cake near the party place. Sons’ birthday party was held in Shakey’s SM North EDSA. Thanks to the internet, I was able to find Blushing Cupcakes Café. Before placing an order for the said party, we tried their cupcakes first (of course). Currently, they have three branches: Club 650 Libis (beside Shopwise); Sky Garden, SM ...
