A day tour in one of the nice beaches in Batangas not far from Manila is not a bad idea.  Aside from not burning a hole in your pocket, spending quality time there with your family and friends is indeed a memorable experience.

Reasons for Choosing to Avail Park N' Fly Service in Pasay

If you can't see the video, please click here.

1.  Safety/Security.  You don't have a garage and the entire household is going on a vacation, traveling somewhere by taking a plane?  Parking your car is safer in Park N' Fly since you don't have to worry for someone might steal or scratch your baby (car) while you are away/on a vacation, or a heavy rain that will result to flood might happen and there's a chance your baby would be submerged in the flood (ouch!).  Btw, it's a multi-level secured carport so your baby is indeed safe.

CityMall Boracay

The hotel we stayed in Station 1 Boracay is near CityMall, just one tricycle/e-trike ride away.  This is actually our first itinerary after checking in and dropping our bags in the hotel.  We planned to buy groceries, food/things we need during our 5 days and 4 nights stay, like water, chips, bread, instant noodles, juices, beer, 3in1 coffee, conditioner, lotion, cigarettes, etc., in Savemore inside the mall.  It is economical to buy there than Sarisari store or convenience stores.  And, much cheaper than buying at Budget Mart in D'Mall.  We traveled light, I mean we didn't have check-in baggage so we had lots of things/food to buy in supermarket.  Also, ordering meal/snacks in the hotel is expensive.  Eating outside is a practical thing to do.  You might consider having snacks/lunch/dinner inside CityMall Boracay.  They have small food court, with choices such as Jollibee, Chowking, and Mang Inasal.  Also, there are food cart/choices beside/near Savemore.  Another thing, there are atm machines (BDO ) in case you need more cash or you're out of cash.

White House Boracay

Yes! We were able to visit Boracay again just April this year before its upcoming rehabilitation, temporary six months closure.  Actually, it was last year when I booked thru Agoda (a good deal under book now pay later) a Standard Room accommodation at White House Beach Resort, a beachfront hotel located in Station 1, Boracay.  Their Standard Room is the cheapest and located across the street, definitely non beachfront but near the pool and beach area, just a few walks away.  Luckily, we were upgraded (I mean with no extra charge) to Deluxe Room (Yes! Yes!) which is located at the side of the beachfront building.  Thank you White House Boracay!  Another to be thankful for is we were given a complimentary transfer from hotel to Boracay port for our departure.  Since our departure time was so early, before the complimentary breakfast serving time, we were given packed sandwiches as takeout instead.

Ambivalent about Christmas

I’m having mixed emotions about Christmas.  Don’t judge yet.  It’s not about religion whatsoever.  I’m just torn between being happy and sad during this season. 

First, whenever I see Christmas lights and decors, I feel happy.  It’s like the child in me has awakened.  However, I feel nostalgic.  Feeling like a child for me might also means remembering my childhood days.  The large portion of childhood memories includes your parents and grandparents in it.  That’s the time I will remember my late dad and grandmom and become sad.  Realizing my mom has aged a lot saddened me as well.
