Been there. Done that!

Free Pass to The Oriental's Zombie Zone

2013-12-03T04:44:00.000-08:00

Hello guys. Sorry for the delays of my update. I didn't get so much time to post on this blog recently. Just got busy from work and other priorities. I hope you are all doing okay. :) Anyways, if you read my last post about my victory in winning two contests then that's great, you can relate to this post, but if not, please feel free to read it here. Enjoy.

The Zombie Zone event at The Oriental Hotel Legazpi happened last October 26, 2013, Saturday at around 3pm. I was asked to go there 30 minutes before the event to get the free tickets. Free tickets are only for 2, 1 adult and 1 child, so because I brought my niece, I paid for the other ticket which cost me P450.00.

Here are the photos at the event. Enjoy. :D

My zombie niece and nephew.

The host started the event with some games.

They're trying to make him look like a mummy.

Snack buffet for adults.

Believe me. My diet was ruined. :D

Full of sweets from the sponsors. Thank you.

Burger at the kid's snack buffet corner.

And because I had taken care of my niece and nephew, I forgot to capture the snack buffet and kid's section. They served spaghetti, macaroons, lumpia, cheese sticks and lots and lots of hotdogs.

We all enjoyed our food. :)

My niece won best halloween costume. We were speechless. Haha

Her prize. :)

Other zombie participants.

The event finished at pass 6pm.

I would like to take this chance to thank The Oriental Hotel Legazpi for a very warm welcome and accommodating us really well. Thanks for choosing me as a winner and get that chance to participate in your Halloween event. I look forward to more #TORHpromos and event. Again, thank you.

2013-10-25T06:47:00.001-07:00

Hello guys. Kumusta kayong lahat? (How are you all today?) I have something to share again and another thing to look forward to. :D

Just recently, I joined two Facebook contest hosted by Bigg's Diner and The Oriental Hotel Legazpi.

Fortunately, I WON BOTH contests. :D

Here are the photos.

I am the second winner. I use Fentima Martinez in Facebook.

The mechanics of the contest was easy. Each participant has to upload a photo showing the way or ways to enjoy Bicol and what it has to offer. Together with the picture, we have to include a story explaining the relevance of the photo. The caption must not exceed 200 words. For more contest mechanics you may refer to this. Please click here. :)

Now, I want to share my winning piece. Enjoy reading. I hope you'll appreciate it.

My simple entry at Bigg's goes something like this. :) As a novice food and place blogger, I have discovered that Bicol is a place of beauty and gratification. And I am just so lucky because I lie in my own pride.
As seen in the picture, there are a lot of ways to enjoy BICOL. Its place, food, events and people. The first four photos from the left show how we enjoy running at the Embarcadero jogging lane. The 5th and 6th photo show how we embrace native food and Bicolano delicacy. The 7th picture shows how Bicolanos are concerned about staying fit and healthy. The 8th and 9th photo show how we celebrate events in luxurious hotel. The 10th and 11th photo show how we revel in pools, beaches and water sports activity. The 12th photo shows how we enjoy the majestic, perfect coned Mayon. The last photo represents how we savor each other and how beautiful Bicolanos are.
We never fail to smile despite of difficulties. THIS is a place of smile. THIS is a region of beauty that every Filipino will admire. Dwelling here is such an honor. I am proud of what we have to enjoy and explore.

There you have it. I'm just so happy that they chose me as one of their winners. :) The winner is entitled of free 30 meals at any Bigg's Diner branch. I will be given an I.D that serves as my claim stub for the meal.No purchase is required. I can order any meal I want as long as it is available and good for one. The meal is for dine-in only. I can't have it for take out.And I can only claim one meal per day. Not bad as a prize right? I think I'll get fat again. Nah.(I'm taking Frontrow's Luxxe Slim.It has L-Carnitine and Green Tea extract.It converts my fats into energy. So, it's like losing weight in a healthy way. For orders you may contact me at 0935-199-6863.) Oopps. Sorry guys for the segway. Just wanted to share that too. :D Meanwhile, I'm waiting for their intructions in my email. I will keep you posted guys about my prize. I will definitely enjoy this one. Yey!

The other contest was held by The Oriental Hotel Legazpi. They will be having an event tomorrow, October 26, 2013 at 3:00pm to 6:00pm. It's called The Zombie Zone. Actually, I'm not really into Halloween events or party.I just gave it a try for my nephew and niece. Anyway, there's no harm in trying. :)

So, the mechanics of the contest was so easy. Please refer to the picture below.

I just followed the steps and fortunately, I WON. :)

A screenshot from my phone. The Oriental Legazpi's announcement of the winner. Again, I am using Fentima Martinez as my Facebook name. :)

The winner is entitled to bring a kid along to the event. I'm planning to bring 2 kids with me so I have to pay the other one. :) The kids must be in zombie costume. We are going to participate in their events for free. There are also snack buffets, lootbags and some games for the children. I'm excited for my niece and nephew. I feel so lucky this week. I will update you guys about the Zombie Zone event tomorrow. My problem now is, where will I find a zombie costume for my niece and nephew? Haha. Anyway, here is the event photo together with the sponsors. I'm excited tomorrow.

Thanks for reading my blog. Will keep you all posted about these. Bye fore now. :)

Shawarma Rice by Leylam Shawarma

2013-09-27T03:02:00.001-07:00

Hello there again. Hah!!! TGIF guys. I'm not so busy today and I am really excited tomorrow because it's weekend. YEY. :DDD I look forward to your happy weekend as well.

Yesterday, I had this cravings for shawarma. Shawarma is one of my favorite food next to siomai. :) So, I promised myself to treat myself one. And yes, super yes, I had my cravings satisfied.

Shawarma Rice at Leylam. It costs 65php with egg and 55php w/o egg.

Actually, I was a bit surprised because I didn't know that shawarma can be matched with rice. But this food doesn't have an acquired taste. I think everyone will like it. It's creamy and delicious. :) This is a must try. Anyway, Leylam Shawarma has only one branch here in Legazpi. It is located inside Savemore Metro Hub, Central Bus Terminal Complex, Legaspi City, Albay, Philippines.

That's it for this post. I hope you'll all have a wonderful meal ahead. :) Oh, oh! Before I go I want to share this other photo.

Photo taken August 4th 2013. Shawarma before a short travel to CWC. :)

Food Box Express

2013-09-26T05:06:00.002-07:00

Hello my fellas. How are you? I've been very busy again as usual. So, as much as I wanted to update my blog, I just can't due to my busy schedule. Anyway, the most important thing is I can update it now. :D

Just recently, I surprised my boyfriend by visiting him at the hospital where he's working. That was about lunch time so I asked him if we could go out for a while and eat our lunch together. Fortunately, he said yes. I'm just lucky he was not so toxic that time. (That's how they call it.)

He asked me if I wanted to try the newly opened FOOD BOX EXPRESS near the hospital because that's where he ordered his food. (Yes, he already ordered food because he didn't know that I will visit him.) This take out bar is owned by the family of Christine Beatriz, one of my boyfriend's co-worker before. :) So, just to make the statement short, we went there and had our lunch. :) Here are some photos. :)

Located at Washington Drive, Legazpi City near Aquinas Hospital and across Mercury Drug Store.

The place is just small and simple but it has a cozy ambiance. It is also very neat and eco-friendly. People here are also very friendly. They won't even doubt to give you a smile. :)

It is actually a take out bar but they also let other customers dine inside. They also have this special menu everyday. Their food comes in a box. (But actually, it's not really a box. It's more of a cup sized container which one meal is suited.) They offer mostly rice-toppings menu that you'll surely love. They also serve snacks and barbecues. This is best for busy people who don't have much time to cook.and for others who have important errands and are always on the go.

I ordered Chicken Teriyaki.

A cheap meal with good taste.

My handsome date. :) I realized, we don't have picture together. :( I forgot because I was already starving.

Thanks for reading this post. Till next time. Try to visit FOOD BOX EXPRESS.

Celebrating 9th!!!

2013-08-12T03:20:00.001-07:00

Hey there everyone. :) I miss all of you. (If I have a reader. Ha-ha) It's been quite sometime since I posted somethin'n here, right? Anyway, I've been busy these past few months and focus myself too much at work. LOL. I'm here again to share something about what happened in our 9th year of love. I hope your getting what am I saying here. YES! My lovelife. Hah!!! So let me start.

My boyfriend and I went on a 3-day vacation last August 4-6 of 2013 (of-course). We went to CWC (Camsur Watersports Complex) to do wake boarding. We missed it and we want to practice more to be a pro. And it's a bit cheap as well that's why we decided to stay there. Here are some few pics taken there.

We were just a bit unfortunate because the big pool is under reinvention. It was closed and will reopen this August 2013, but they didn't give us definite date on when but you can ask them directly through the numbers posted at the end of this post. But we were still able to enjoy the heat and the water sports at the beginner's pool. :) The highlight of this post is not really this, but this!!! Please check the photos below! :)

YES!!! My boyfriend surprise me a dinner date on the night of our anniversary date, August 6th at Hotel Venezia (Caffe San Marco) here in our city. It was really a surprise because I was expecting to go home after we arrived in Legazpi City after our trip in CWC. He told me that we are just going to have a simple dinner there and then go home after. I refuse at first but because I can't resist his charm, I let go of myself and let him bring me in that hotel to eat our dinner. Haha. Well, honestly, I'm a bit excited too. Hihi. Here is a photo of us taken before he surprised me.

I have ordered a pasta and a shake because I think that will only fit my appetite that night. My partner was still choosing his, until, one man came near us and was asking if we can move to another part of the hotel because there will be an event in the cafe where we are sitting. I thought it was a bad timing for us to eat there but I agreed, well, we both agreed that we can move to another side of the hotel. And then the man lead us to a small room where everything was set up. A candle light private dinner date with my boyfriend. Then I realized that they are just acting the whole time I got in there. And then I just smiled and looked at my boyfriend and said thank you. To my surprise, I think I was saying thank you the whole time. Then I laughed because the man who asked us to move was really great in acting. Haha. And when we got inside the private room, the man gave me the bouquet of flowers. So that made me realized again that these were all planned. And so I thanked him again. Haha. :D Here are some photos at that night. Enjoy. :)

Isn't he sweet? ♥

Hotel Venezia set it up prefectly.

My hair is so long that you may stepped on it. Just make way for my hair. Haha

A very tasty apple drink with love. Thanks Hotel Venezia. Thanks bby.

The creamy delicious crab soup! Nom nom

Salad. Nom Nom.

Lasagna. Thought this was the main dish.It was just the appetizer. Hah!

The lasagna comes with the sandwich and it's oozing tasty. Nom nom.

A very tasty chicken with its gravy!

The other surprise.

Woah. This is really nice.

After blowing the candles.

Thanks baby. :)

I'm speechless. I said all the things I wanted to say already. It'll just be between us. But thank you for everything. It was a great night to remember. I also highly recommend Hotel Venezia. They did a great job in presenting everything. They also serve luscious lunch and dinner buffet with acoustic band at Caffe San Marco. It's tried and tested by yours truly. You must try it too. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for reading my fellas. :)

A Savory Dinner Buffet at Misibis Bay

2013-02-21T05:47:00.000-08:00

Hey there folks. How have you been these past few days? Again, it's been a long time that I haven't written anything on my blog. EWSSH!!!! It's not because I haven't experience something new but just because I'm a bit busy with my work. :) So, I don't want to make this introduction long, let's head to the main reason for this blog... MY EXPERIENCE. lels :D

Just this Monday, February 18th, my boyfriend and I went to Misibis Bay to experience their dinner buffet which has a reasonable price. So, few days before that, I had my reservation for two at Hotel St.Ellis because that is where we decided for the shuttle to pick us up. The cost of the dinner buffet every Monday - Thursday is PHP688 nett and PHP888 nett every Friday - Sunday. According to one of the staff in Ellis, Friday was already considered weekend so it has the same rate for Saturday and Sundays. :) Package includes a round-trip shuttle service and 200 worth of playing credits at Casino Filipino. For the schedule of the shuttle, please refer below.

Shuttle Service:

Departure from Legazpi

Legazpi to Misibis Bay - 5:30pm

Legazpi to Misibis Bay - 6:30pm

Departure from Misibis Bay

Misibis Bay to Embarcadero to Hotel St.Ellis to Hotel Venezia - 10:30pm

Misibis Bay to Embarcadero to Hotel St.Ellis to Hotel Venezia - 12:00md

I hope it's clear. This was according to Misibis Bay's facebook page. :) And an addition to the shuttle service, it's your choice if where you want to wait for it, in my case, we chose to head to Hotel St.Ellis because it's nearer my house than of Hotel Venezia.

While waiting for the shuttle...

OH! Just a quick tip for people who get dizzy easily, please take some Meclizine or Bonamine to avoid nausea and vomiting. The road heading to Misibis is zig-zag like so be sure that you are ready for those twists and turns on your trip. lol.

We went to St.Ellis before 5:30PM but the shuttle actually pick us up at pass 6:00PM and it leaves at exactly 6:30PM. Well, we didn't really expect that we would be waiting for atleast an hour and a half for the shuttle bus to arrive. Just thank my boyfie cos' we had a nice conversation. Well spent. The travel from Ellis to Misibis took us for about an hour to get there. We didn't see any scenic view because it's night and so therefore it's dark. LOL. But the view must've been appreciated by the guests if Misibis will have another buffet during lunch time. LOLOLOL. Tralalala...

So, we arrived......

There was a guide who brought us to the receptionist to pay for the package before going to the dinner buffet venue. They will give you a voucher which will you present at the venue and Casino Filipino for the 200 worth of playing credits.

So here are some pictures taken at the dinner buffet. Enjoy! :D But I wasn't able to take a picture of each food station because I'm too excited to get some food. LOL.

There are a lot of food station that you can choose from. There's the salad station, sisig station, pasta, pizza station, grilled meat, main course and dessert station. I took advantage of it and tried each dish that's been served. Nomnomnom.

My favorite soup. Cream of mushroom. :)

And like what I have said, I tried all, so I asked my boyfriend to get me some pasta for me to try. Haha. Nomnomnomnom. Sorry, I didn't get the chance to take a photo of it before eating. I'm too excited to eat. Haha.

Mini pizza with 8 cute slices.

It's your choice of what toppings would you like for your pizza to have. :)

Siomai! My fav!! OMG!

Salad

Dessert!!! Yum!

Buko Shake! :)

Beverage other than water has extra charge, so it's not free. :P

Superb dinner. I was so full. We are so full!!!!

Thank you Misibis.

Thanks for the dinner buffet. :) Thanks to the staff also, they are very accommodating. :)

After we finished eating our luscious dinner, we tried to explore a bit of the place. But I just took few pictures because it rained outside. Sighed!!

Pool with mini bar. Cool :)

The CR. :DD

After that, we went to Casino Filipino in the other building to make use of our 200 worth of playing credits each. I'm not really into gambling or what and I'm not really used to making some bets but I enjoyed playing a bit at the Casino. Though, I got bored after few plays. Haha. We weren't so lucky on this but we were lucky to have each other. Haha. Cameras are not allowed inside so I didn't take any pictures. You can become a Gold Member in Casino Filipino at Misibis Bay. Please refer to the picture below.

That's it. Just simple yet very memorable experience. I hope to visit that place again soon to experience their luxurious playground and water sports activities.

Pancake House

2012-10-15T05:13:00.003-07:00

Hey there my fellas. :D I am back. It's been a long time. LOL. Not really long. Well, sorry for not having any posts, I was just so busy this past few weeks. I've been working for almost 14 to 16 hours a day. What the heck? Haha. Anyways, but even though I'm busy, I see to it that I come to chill and relax from the stress that I got from work. (But it's not really stressful though.)

So just this September 28 to 30 I traveled in Manila with my mom. And I want to share this restaurant where we've eaten our dinner last Sept. 28 and breakfast last September 30. But I would like to apologize in advance because I can't name each food that we ordered because I lost the two receipts in Pancake. :( It saddened me. :( Anyway, life must go on and so let's move on. :D

I think most of you are familiar with Pancake House. They serve delicious pancakes and waffles. They have also aggrandized their menu to fulfill each customers cravings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pancakes and waffles can be served anytime, as long as they're open I think. :D They also have pastas, Filipino dishes, international delights, pastries and many more. And I think all of them will suit your tastes buds. ;)

So here are the pictures that I've taken during the dinner. We ate dinner in MOA at PH. :)

The big menu. :D

I looked at the menu as if I'll be having a test. LOL.

Their chicken is really yummy. Swear. There are two pieces of chicken served. The other piece
was late. LOL. My mom and kuya both ordered the same food.

A bunch for dinner. It's lucious. This is what I had.

Nom Nom Nom

Serry for the face! :D

Mango Crepe for dessert. :D

And that's all we had for dinner. We didn't regret dining in here. We were actually delighted of the food that we have eaten. :)

Before our flight on our way home last September 30, my mom, her friend, my kuya and I decided to have our breakfast at PH again in the NAIA terminal 3. We all decided to try their pancakes and waffle. :) Here are some pictures.

Yum

Yum waffle.

Yum

My pancake. So yummy with the sausage. :)

My juice. :)

And that's it for my simple experience in Pancake house. All foods were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for travelers and non-travelers out there. In whatever kind of career you are into, PH is really a must try. Nom Nom. Thanks for reading. Till next time.

Kamias

2012-09-17T23:35:00.000-07:00

Hello there everyone. Howdy? I am here again to share one restaurant that we just discovered. LOL We've eaten here just yesterday and I'm just a little excited to tell you about our experience.

Yesterday, I asked my boyfriend to treat me dinner at Kamias which is located at the Alternate Road, Besides Casablanca Suites,4500 Legazpi City. It is near Aquinas University Hospital. It is nearby Wilkommen and Eatalia too. From Legazpi, we rented a tricycle and it only cost us 25php to get there. :D Quite cheap.

Hope this map could help you. Thanks Google Maps

So, let me start on my simple journey in this restaurant. LOL

Kamias is a restaurant which offers more of Bicolano cuisines. Tourists and even natives will truly enjoy the traditional food with a touch of modern taste. The setting inside wasn't really that impressive but it has a quiet, clean, comfortable, safe and a little modern like idiosyncrasy.

Beautiful green chairs with white tables.

They may also accomodate you in the Casablanca Suites. It's your choice.

Looks really clean. :)

Table setting. (if I'm not mistaken) :D

It took them for about 15 to 20 minutes to serve the food that we ordered. We didn't really feel that it was quite long because my boyfriend and I were busy in chatting about some stuffs. :D And when the food came... TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are the food that we've eaten. :)

Before I forgot, this is what the menu looks like. :D

There is also a separate menu just for beverages.

Chicken Sisig Cigars. The sauce blends well with the cigars. One of the best sellers.

You may enjoy Sisig Cigars with or without rice. The serving is great for a cheap price. :)

Beef Salpicao / Small

Beef Salpicao tastes like adobo. It has a real Filipino touch that everyone will love. One thing that I didn't like about this is I didn't really enjoy the sauce. It's just little bit oily, and that is what am I avoiding to eat. But this food taste great.

Steamed Rice.

They also has a great serving of rice. We really weren't expecting that. :D If we just knew about the serving we should've just ordered two rice. lels.

Had enough for dinner. Burp.

One picture before we eat. LELs

And ofcourse, the dinner won't be complete without dessert. :) So we ordered their very own Buko Salad.

Buko Salad.

Yum. But not so cold. :)

All in all, we are satisfied of what we've eaten. We didn't really discover something new with the food tastes and the ambiance. But we don't regret what we've paid in that restaurant. And we will definitely go back to try other cuisines.

I recommend this place for people who wanted to eat some Bicolano and more of Filipino cuisines. :) You'll surely love its quiet, elegant and clean ambiance with a touch of modern style. Simplicity is always beautiful. The price aren't so cheap either.

Malaysian Chicken Barbecue

2012-09-13T05:27:00.001-07:00

Hello folks. How are you today? I wasn't able to update my blog because I've been so busy for the past few days. Been working for almost 16 hours a day. But anyway, I am here to share what we had for lunch last August 31,2012. LOL. Sorry if it takes too long. :)

My boyfriend had an overnight stay in our house because he fell asleep while he went here last August 30th. :D So, he was able to taste my mom's first Malaysian Chicken Barbecue. He didn't just ate dinner in our house, not just even breakfast but also lunch. Haha. At first, I thought that my mom was just cooking something ordinary for lunch, like pork and some veggies, but when she called me, she told me that she'll be cooking her own version of this chicken barbecue. :) And then the lunch came and here are some pictures that I can share. :)

Malaysian Chicken Barbecue

The Sauce. :)

The sauce is really unique. It's not watery or "malabsaw." It's really creamy and so tasty. But for people who hate ginger, I think you'll not appreciate it. But I want you to give it a try because it is really delicious. The ginger add some spice to it and you'll defintely love the blend of it with the chicken. :)

The chicken and the sauce.

Lunch. Burp!!!

Nom Nom Nom.

The chicken was suppose to be grilled but my mom opted to fry it. :D But I think if the chicken was just marinated longer, it will be juicier and even tastier without the sauce. But all in all this dish is really heavenly. For all those people who loves cooking and eating....this is a must try. :)

Enjoy eating everyone. :)

Jasmine at The Oriental Legazpi

2012-08-21T18:46:00.005-07:00

Jasmine is located at the ground floor lobby area of The Oriental Hotel. (Please click here for my separate blog about The Oriental.) They offer gratifying food and luxurious setting that surely one of us will adore. The setting of the place is modernized with a beautiful view from the outside. This is one of the best place to dine-in if ever you'll be visiting Legazpi City. Everything you crave for is already here. You should try it.

We were able to dine-in at Jasmine again when we had our stay at The Oriental last August 5 and 6. I can say that this is really one of the highlights in our visit at the hotel because we celebrated our 8th year of love there. We were not down of what we've ordered. Yummy food plus great servings is equal to a superb dinner. Here are the foods that we ordered at the night of August 5th. :) Enjoy and be seduced again.

Jasmine. Modern and elegant!

Four Seasons

Watermelon Shake

Bagnet

Osso Bucco

Great servings and presentation.

Dessert Sampler

Deliciouso!

The dinner was astonishing. We needed a back-up. Haha. We didn't finished all of it but we got it as a take out and brought it to the room. Haha. Well, that was a luscious and luxurious dinner after all. Nom nom nom.

As what we felt at Hotel St.Ellis, we were also excited of what will the buffet breakfast be in the morning. And fortunately, this is what we've got. A very tempting food that we didn't hesitate to try. All of the food that was served at the buffet were tried by us. Haha. You should try it too. Here are the photos that we had on our buffet breakfast the next morning.

Chicken Tocino and Pork Adobo

Different kinds of bread.

Yummy cheeses. Different kinds of cheeses.

Omelette. Served by request.

Nom Nom Nom!

My boyfriend had his coffee while I had my fresh mango juice.

Haha

Sanwich ala Alex. Haha. He made this for me.

The breakfast was elegant. We really had a lot of breakfast that day. We felt like not eating lunch anymore because of this delicate breakfast. It was a blast. You should try it too.

And before I forgot, I would like to share this photo of ours last February 14, 2012. This is when we had our valentine dinner date at The Jasmine too. That was memorable. ♥

The Oriental Hotel Legazpi - A wonderful experience!

2012-08-21T18:46:00.004-07:00

Even if The Oriental Hotels and Resort is just situated near my place, I am still dying to have a luxurios feel-like stay at the said hotel. And well, I think I can say that I am so LUCKY enough to be one of the chosen winners on their Facebook contest which just ended last June. The contest had three phases. I am also so desperate on winning that I never gave up even if I lost at the first and the second phase of the contest. The third phase would be the last and I told myself that I have to give my best shot. The mechanics were just easy, you just have to answer the question, "Why do you deserve a Legazpi City tour?" And luckily I GOT IT. FINALLY! Actually I was aiming for the 3 days and 2 nights stay at the said hotel but maybe God thought that it'll be too much so He just gave us an overnight stay. But still we are very thankful for that. I won the audience award in the contest which gained my photo 2,108 likes as of the cut-off period. This was my winning piece and a proof that I won the contest.

A screenshot from The Oriental's facebook page.

My winning entry.

(If ever you think that I am just hallucinating, joking or whatsoever about the contest, please click on this proof.)

A room accommodation for two, breakfast for two, and a complimentary massage for two at their spa wasn't bad for a prize. :) I was really overwhelmed when the time that they announced the winners. But, enough of the drama!

We had our reservation August 5 - 6, 2012 at the hotel. We both agreed of that date because we will be celebrating our 8th year anniversary at the 6th of the said month. :) ♥♥♥ To make the story short, after we left Hotel St.Ellis at around 4:30 we went to The Oriental Hotel and these are the things that we experience. Let me start from the first photo that I've taken that day at the said hotel. :)

The bathroom door. Sorry, wasn't really impressive as for the first photo :D. Haha :(

The shower area. :) A lot of towels were provided.

The toilet.

Still inside the bathroom. Ofcourse. LOL

The comlimentary soap, shampoo, body lotion, cotton buds, toothbrush and toothpaste.

The blower and mirror.

Bathrobes :D

The tv. Sorry for the photography :( I'm an amateur!

The gorgeous bed.

Perfect for workaholic.

The carpet. Floors were carpeted on the second floor. Even outside the room. Nice

Safety box. Easy to use.

Ticket for buffet breakfast. Nom Nom.

Complimentary. :)

Mini Bar. Not free. :)

Inside the fridge. Mini bar drinks. Water is the only one which is free. :)

Cool!

Boyfriend :)

We arrived at the hotel at around 5:00 pm. After taking some pictures, my boyfriend and I took a short nap. And when we woke up we decided to swim because we were informed that swimming pool operates just up to 8pm only. When we went to the pool area it was a bit creepy cause we were the only ones who were there, it was also dark till we view a man from the kiosk heading its way to us, we were asking for the towel because we read in their policy that towels are provided when we go swimming, but unfortunately after a long wait, it wasn't given to us. But it was just ok. The towel wasn't really a big deal. The pool is what matters most. Haha. It is gorgeous and very wide.

The pool at night. :)

Cool infinity pool. Boiling! Haha

Haha. Sorry for the face! :D

Well. The infinity pool is so nice!

Beautiful

You can lie on it or sit on it. Nearby the pool.

Another pretty furniture.

The Oriental

After the swimming session we decided to dry ourselves first before we go back to our room because we were not provided by a towel. But it's ok. After we took our shower back from our room we both agreed to have our dinner at The Jasmine which is located at the ground floor of the hotel.

Yummy dinner.

It is also not our first time to dine-in here. We had our 2012 valentine date at The Jasmine and that was memorable. This night was also memorable for us. The foods were great, it comes with big servings. (Please click here for my separate blog about Jasmine.) After we ate our adorable dinner we went to the front desk to ask for the complimentary massage that I won. We asked if it's ok to have the massage from 11:00pm to 12:00am. And it was been approved, but while waiting for the time (because we still have 15 minutes more) we decided to take some pictures. Hoho. Here are some of those... :)

And so it's time, it's time, it's time. Haha. I was really aiming to have a massage that night because I have a back pain. After taking some pictures, we went outside the hotel to go to their spa. Spa is located at the left side of the building. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a photo of their signage due to some unknown reasons. Haha. Maybe I was just too excited to have the massage done and I remember I was saving the battery of my cam because it is almost low. Here are some photos that I can share.

Inside the spa.

Salabat before the massage.

Cool! :)

We were both at the same massage room. Cute :)

The massage was really great. The therapist were good and friendly. We had the Swedish massage that costs 700php -750php I think but because I won the prize, we had it for free. Yehey! :D IT WAS AWESOME! We were very satisfied! Delighted! That ends our day 1 at The Oriental.

After a very nice sleep, it was time for us to wake up because it was a little bit too late to eat breakfast and it is only serve until 10:00am. Fortunately, we were just about on time. Breakfast was so great because it was a buffet. We ate a lot. Haha. Same venue, ofcourse, we ate our breakfast at The Jasmine. :) ( If you want to know more about the breakfast please click here to see my separate blog.)

It was our last day at the hotel and we want to make the most out of it. And the only way to express our enchantment at the hotel is to take lots and lots of pictures. LOL Here are the last blast of pictures that I'm gonna share. Haha :P

Left please.

Cool elevator. Touch!

Morning view.

The infinity pool. :)

Bad thing we weren't able to see the Mayon that day. It was foggy.

Always gorgeous.

You may swim in here even if you didn't checked-in. 300php for the regular rate without towel and 350php with towel.

Electric door. Tit tit!

The view outside of our room. :)

Outside our room. The view.

Thank you

Crossroads Cafe and Lounge

2012-08-14T22:42:00.002-07:00

Crossroads Cafe and Lounge is located inside Hotel St. Ellis in Legazpi City at the ground floor. It is one of the best restaurant where you can dine-in here my city. They always offer exquisite food for everyone. They don't just give you satisfaction but also pleasure from every food that you'll order. This is a place where you should eat, chat or hangout with your workmates, classmates, friends, family and love ones.

Eating at the Crossroads wasn't really the first time for us. We always go back in here to celebrate special occasions or just to have an elegant dinner date on a regular day. We never regret the food that we ordered and tasted. So when we checked in at their pulchritudinous hotel, we were able to eat the Crossroads again, again and again. Haha. :D Here are some photos of food that we ordered last August 4-5 to seduce you of their sexy and yummy cuisines.

Four Season

Bacon and Potato Chowder Soup. It's a yum! Perfect for my taste.

And for my main dish, Ellis burger. Super yum and tasty.

A big burger that you should try.

For my boyfriend's main dish: Hoisin Braised Pork Belly.

Delactable!

For dessert: Mississippi Mud Pie!

A delicious treat!

The night was perfect with luscious food.

The first night that we had in Hotel St.Ellis was premium, from its facility , staff and great cuisines. This end our day 1. :)

Day 2 at the Crossroads excites us even more because we knew it was a buffet. ;) Eat all you can. Haha. YUM. Here are some photo of us during our breakfast last August 5. ;)

The coffee.

Lugaw. Yum

Omelette

Serve by request.

Chicken adobo, bread with butter and jam and Fried squid ( I forgot ).

Happy breakfast.

Yum Yum Yum!

Well, this end our breakfast.We had it at around 9:30 in the morning and we admit that we had a lot for breakfast. So, at the same day, we had our lunch at the Crossroads again even if we checked out already by 2pm. :) We decided to order pasta as the main dish. Well when it comes to pasta, the restaurant never let us down. Here are some photos that I could share. :)

Mango Juice.

Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich. Another tasty sanwich.

Carbonara Linguine. A very delicious pasta. It's creamy and so tasty. You should try it.

Blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Giggles!

Nom Nom Nom!

We had a wonderful time checking in at St. Ellis and experience elegance, comfort and location. We never regret choosing this place as one of our destination here in my city. You should experience it too. Before I go, I just wanna share this picture of ours because we also celebrated our 7th year anniversary dinner date at the Crossroads.

7th year anniversary dinner date. It was a surprise.
I didn't know that we will dine-in here after we got back from the city.
Just got home from CWC. :)

We just don't go here to celebrate special occasions, if we want to treat ourselves with elegant food, we go here and just eat whatever we crave for. :)

Just an ordinary day. Crossroads made it special. :)

Thank once again Hotel St. Ellis and Crossroads Cafe and Lounge. :)

Hotel St. Ellis in Legazpi City

2012-08-14T22:42:00.001-07:00

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 8th year anniversary last August 4, 5 and 6. Hotel St. Ellis is one of our chosen place to celebrate it. We had an early reservation last July 2012 and we avail of their promo that was published in their Facebook page. The reservation is quiet easy and no sweat at all. I reach them through their mail and phone. Their staff and the one who emailed us was very friendly and easy to communicate with. They even sent me a confirmation letter that week to confirm that my reservation was been approved. No hassle at all. So what we did is just wait for the time for us to stay there.

Last August 4 at around 6:00pm, we checked-in at their hotel after a long and adventurous activity that we had in our ATV tour. ( I will be writing a blog about this soon.) Their staff greeted us and gave us a welcome drink.

With the welcome drink.

My baby with his welcome drink.

We just waited few minutes at the front desk for the checking of our reservation. And after that we had our welcome letter and the key card in our room. The reservation that we had was at the Deluxe Room for two with free breakfast and free usage of their gym and pool. The room was located at the 5th floor of the beautiful hotel. We were a bit excited to go up and see the luxurious looking room. And then this is what we've got. A very clean and nice place to stay at.

The door.

This door is so cool. It opens through a card key and it automatically locks itself too. This door has a double lock inside. :)

Complementary

Coffee, water, pili nuts and a cute coin purse are all complementary. They have a little refrigerator under this and it is equipped with some drinks for the mini bar.

Free pili nuts and coin purse. They also let us bring our welcome drink in our room.

The bathroom. It's neat and it smells good.

The bathroom is clean and neat. 2 tissue papers were available and a towel on top of the bowl is ready too. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the shower area. But they have hot and cold shower.

Very nice.

The bed!

After we took a rest for about an hour in the room, we decided to swim in their pool which is located at the second floor near the spa. My boyfriend and I didn't brought any towel with us because we know that it'll be provided but we weren't expecting that there will be a separate towel which will be given to us for swimming. I just find it nice. :) So here are some pictures at the pool area.

The pool.

Their pool is so clean and we were just lucky because we were the only ones who is using the pool that time. Haha. This pool is 5 to 5'6 ft. high. This is quiet wide also which is good for everyone who likes swimming.

Their shower room and comfort room is separate from each other.

This furniture is perfect for the place.

The other view of the pool. Sorry for the face. Haha

Their pool is operating from 7:00 in the morning till 8:00pm at night. We were just fortunate to extend some time from the pool till 9:00pm. ^_^ After few hours of swimming, we realized that we're both hungry. So we are guilty in that case, without reasonable doubt. LOL. We didn't bring any chips with us, just the pili nut that we saw from the room. So after we took a shower, we went at the ground floor to eat at the Crossroads Cafe and Lounge of the hotel.

Lovely dinner.

It's not our first time to dine in here. Crossroads Cafe never let us down when it comes to their dishes. (Please click here for my separate blog about Crossroads.) We had a wonderful dinner that time. There was a live acoustic band too which makes the dinner pleasing. After we had our appetizing dinner, we went back to our room to take some rest. :) That's it for the first day in Ellis.

The second day was awesome too specially when we saw the buffet breakfast at the Crossroads. Their buffet is free of charge and you don't have to pay anything for it. They serve buffet breakfast as early as 5:30am up to 10:00am only. :) Good thing we were just on time.

Takaw mode.

After we had our breakfast, we decided to explore the hotel more and take some picture as a souvenir. Here are some photos that I can share.

The don.

The donya.

The elevator.

THANK YOU HOTEL ST. ELLIS FOR BEING PART OF OUR CELEBRATION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL NOT JUST HERE IN LEGAZPI BUT TO ALL THE TRAVELERS OUT THERE WHOM LIKE TO HAVE A GREAT STAY IN THE CITY.

오징어 무침 Ojing-Eo Muchim and 주먹밥 Jumeogbab

2012-08-02T04:52:00.002-07:00

Last August 24, 2011 was a great day for me because it was my birthday. LOL. :D Ever-since I was in college, I usually celebrate my birthday with my family, my bestfriend (if she's available) and my boyfriend. Other than them, I don't really invite people to come over my house. I don't invite friends in short. :) I'm happy to celebrate it with them.

I always ask my mom to cook carbonara and chicken curry for me every time it's my birthday. Those are the foods that I really wanna eat in my special day. It's been a tradition. LOL. But last year was a little different from what I'm used to. Because I asked my Korean boss to cook ojing-eo-muchim and jumeogbab for me. Fortunately, my request was been granted! Tadaaaa!!!

My two favorite Korean food.

I first tasted ojing-eo when my Korean students together with my boss and I went to a trip in Tabacco. I've eaten lots of Korean food that time but those were the two food that marked in my tongue a lot. And so I grabbed the chance of asking my boss to cook that for me on my birthday. A lot of thanks to her and my friend who joined us to eat that special treat. Here are some pictures that I took last August 2011.

With ate Lyra and Mrs. Kim.

lol I'm fat!

Well. What is Ojing-Eo Muchim? As far as I know, it is a squid, seasoned dried shredded squid to be exact. It has a sweet, salty and spicy taste that blends well in your mouth. It's also chewy so you can pair this with a great drink. You can eat this one with or without a rice, it can also be a side dish or a main course depends upon how you want to eat it. But I assure you everyone will love this food. For the recipe, click here. Here is another photo of Ojing-Eo.

too small : (

What is Jumeogbab? Is it a rice ball as what you've seen from the previous picture. Actually, you can eat it even without a main course. The rice ball itself is tasty already. But it might not suit other people's taste. But I encourage each one of you to try it so you can judge it by your own. Another good thing about this is it's just an easy made food. It will not take you an hour to mix the ingredients and finish the balls. Please click here for the recipe.

Kare - Kare for the day.

2012-08-01T04:56:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I asked my mom to cook Kare-Kare for me because it's been a long that I haven't tasted it. I don't know what I'm up to but I really felt excited when my mom said YES. :D My smile was so big it could ripped my mouth. :D Anyway, and then when I woke up at 8:00 am the next day I asked my mom again if the ingredients are already prepared for the said menu. YUM. And then the lunch came so fast, I hurriedly get my plate, put some rice and tasted the delicious food. It was a superb. It's really a yum. It comes with an "ALAMANG", as what they call it. I think it's the cousin of bagoong. LOL

My mom's alamang. How funny when my sister thought it was a corned beef. :D

So here it is. My mom's Kare-Kare. Giggles.

I want to learn how to cook this one because it's really scrumptious. I think everybody will like or likes it. I hope I will be a great cook of Kare-Kare in the future. Who knows? :) So, for everyone who wants to learn how to cook it maybe this site might help you. I just search it over the net so thanks google for providing us a great information. My mom has her own recipe but she rather keep it just among us. :) Thanks for understanding. :)

Balay Suanoy

2012-07-31T06:41:00.001-07:00

Balay Suanoy is one of the fine dining restaurant here in my province. They offer good food with big servings (based on our experience). They serve more of filipino dishes and bicolano cuisines. It is located in Pag-Asa street, Daraga, Albay.

I heard Balay Suanoy from my boyfriend. I thought it was like the imitation of Balay Cena Una because they both have Balay in their names. LOL Anyway, it was our first time to visit their place and taste their food so here are some evidences that we took a lot of pictures. :)

GREAT FOOD

Mushroom Soup

I don't know why but I really love mushroom soups. Maybe because it's creamy and thick. Their Soup is a yum yum. I recommend it.

Suanoy Chicken

This is their very own chicken with big fried potatoes and cucumber on its side. This dish has a great taste but we find the chicken a little bit dry. And it doesn't come with a special sauce so we just asked for ketchup. And because I'm a ketchup addict, I enjoyed this chicken a lot. It's another yum.

Pasta Marinara

Pasta Marinara is another creamy pasta that we've tasted. It's a white seafood pasta. It's delicious and a must try.

Pasta Cornelio

I find this more delicious than Marinara. It's creamier and tastier than the other pasta. We also find the serving of the both pasta greater than other fine dining restaurant. Which is great because it comes with friendly price too. :)

Suanoy's Ref Cake

So because we ate a lot for the main dish we just ordered one dessert for that night. This is their very own ref cake which is not really impressive but not a disappointment. It doesn't really have a special taste but it was delicious and cheap. :)

Yummy dinner at Balay Suanoy

Food trip again.

All in all we didn't really regret that we went here and taste their food. The ambiance and place is also good. It has a touch of native Bicolano delicacy and there are a lot of old things from the past which I think been treasured by the owner and have it placed in the restaurant. Here are some photos that we took inside the restaurant after eating. :)

GREAT PLACE

Ang taba na namin.

Senauna kuno. Hihi. BTW, behind us is a tarp of the presidential's sister when she visited Suanoy.

Ancient turtle. :D

Recess time. LSOL

The bell. :)

CWC 7th year anniversary

2012-07-25T08:48:00.003-07:00

Last August 2011 was a blast for me and my boyfriend. We celebrated our 7th year anniversary in Camarines Sur Water Sports Complex a.k.a CWC in Cam Sur.

We had an early reservation in Villa del Rey Containers which only cost us PHP3,400 for two nights. This was the second cheapest (as far as I know) homes that you could stay into if you'll be visiting CWC. Actually there are a lot of different lodging rooms that you could choose from near the place, we just chose The Containers because it's not so expensive and the room was great.

The cheapest of all the homes or rooms that you could avail is The Tiki Hut which will only cost you PHP1,000 per night.

From Legazpi to Cam Sur, it took us for about an hour and a half travel by van. The trip wasn't so stressful. Actually, we didn't feel that we spent almost two hours at the van. The scenery on our way was fantastic, so we didn't feel any dizziness at all.

big pool @ CWC

After we ate our late lunch we quickly changed our clothes because we were both excited to roam around the place. We were lucky then because there are a lot of people in CWC that time. Actually, foreigners. The picture above shows the big pool in that place. This is where the professional wake boarders do their thing and where people can do knee boarding. But because we were just amateurs, (honestly, just our first time to do wake boarding) so this is where we belong.

smaller pool for amateurs and for starters

At first we were both nervous but of course excited to try this sport. There were bunch of Kuya's who taught us the right way to do it. It wasn't so hard actually but we fell lots of time at the pool, which is very normal for beginners. But we kept trying until we knew that we were not falling from the pool anymore. That was way too cool. :)

after millions of tries.. FINALLY!

It was a great experience. I hope each one of you could try this kind of sports. It's really fulfilling. Anyway, the rates for wake boarding isn't so expensive. There is a separate rate for beginners and professionals. (Darn! I forgot what's the rate for beginners. But I think it cost 150 to 350 per head only for one hour. It is also inclusive of one hour free swimming at the pool near tiki huts.)

Wake boarding isn't the only activity that you could enjoy there. You could also swim and enjoy their Lago. In here you can enjoy those big stuffs floating in that big pool. You could climb on it, steps on it, run on it as long as you keep yourself safe, it's ok for you do to whatever you want here. :D

behind those abs are floating balloons that you could enjoy

It wasn't really that scary.

They'll be providing you safety gears to float.

Lastly, the foods. Haha. We had a great time eating at their own restaurant because the foods were all delicious. The waiters were also very friendly and attentive. They are also neat. Here are some foods that we've ordered.

banana split

bacon cheese with mushroom omelet

barbecue

had enough for lunch

Im a PRINCESS, not bcoz I live in a castle, but bcoz I live in a house dt s truly home.
Im a PRINCESS, not bcoz I have many servants but bcoz I'v learned 2 serve my family, myself nd stand alone.
Im a PRINCESS, not bcoz I have all the wealth and treasures but bcoz I learned how to live life without it and b humble.
Im a PRINCESS, not bcoz I'm so beautiful but bcoz I remian as simple as I am.
Im a PRINCESS not bcoz I want 2 live happily ever after but bcoz I want 2 experience life behind its imperfections.
Finally, I AM A PRINCESS, not bcoz I have a handsome prince but bcoz I know in his warm hart I AM the only person whom he loves most, take good care of me and making me feel safe eventhough he doesn't have a sword.

Something about myself

(me when my hair is straight)

(curly tops)

I am just a simple girl whom do not waste time to earn money. Yes, that is so me. I am a frugal person. But even if I'm like this, I see to it that I always help my family out though they're not that needy. I am a God fearing person whom always pray at night for the safeness of my family and thank HIM from what he had given me for a day.

I have a lot of thoughts in mind that I really want to share. Welcome to the blogging world "Miss Fats". I am online most of the day doing my work with Korean kiddos. I would like to blog because I don't want to waste my leisure time from the internet doing nothing. I want to share a bit of me, what I've already tasted and what beautiful places I have been to. I hope you'll be with me through my simple journey. Enjoy reading and I want to have your patience if you find this blog not helpful nor interesting.
