Sunrise to Sunset at Samal Island! (A One Day Tour)

Image
Have you ever been caught in a place that you haven't been to, and don't have any idea what to do? With the universe's conspiracy you were meant to be in that place? What would you do? Thank God, there's google, there are bloggers, there are already information available online.  I was supposed to travel back to Malaybalay, Bukidnon after our "Intelligent Investing" seminar with the Association of Finance Educators in Mindanao. But, suddenly the appointment in Bukidnon was canceled, and we wanted to make use of the time while we are still in Davao. What can we do? Mr. Google and Bloggers across the country helped us. I browsed through the internet all the possible things we could do, of course, top of the list is SAMAL island.  Again, the question is, what can we do in Samal? I consulted the internet, and there were couple of travel agencies, but when I contacted their numbers, all of them rejected us. LOL! Actually, because it's peak season, I u...

Pressure Points Spa Review

Image
We had a long day! We were happily tired! We had an overnight ride with the bus going to Davao. We attended the whole day seminar. Then we visited Davao's SM Lanang. We wanted to relax. But we didn't know where.  After couple of mind suggestions, I popped the question "do they have good spa here?". And my friend was thinking the same thing too. We asked the receptionist of SM Prestige. They recommended us to visit Pressure Points Spa located just right across Davao's Water District. You would not have a hard time finding it.  Pressure point offers different services. They mainly have female therapist and few male therapist. They have shower room, sauna, and well the massage rooms.  I am just not comfortable with the massage room because it's open. And you can see the rest of the guests having the massage too. I am not used to that kind of room. Anyway, as for the massage. The therapist is quite good. I am satisfied. I had a combination of shiatsu...

Green Windows Dormitel Davao Review

Image
It was my second time to visit Davao. This time a little bit longer, we will be attending the Intelligent Investing seminar. A successful seminar. But this is going to be my short review, snapshot of our Backpacking Experience in GreenWindows Dormitel. We arrived earlier than we planned so we decided to have a nap. An since we don't want to spend more than what we need, we availed Green Windows Dormitel's "backpackers" package for only P188.00 quite a good offer. :-)  We only needed some place to sleep for a couple of hours. As soon as we got in. I had this picture taken. The lobby at the reception area. It's in the 5th Floor of the Building. I browsed through their brochures and found this. Might help you if your planning a tour in Davao. The 5th Floor Reception Area at a glance. :-)  They also offer breakfast. You can browse through their menu below.  And if you're interested to check their room rates. Please check 'em out ...

Trip to Austria! For Food Adventure!

Image
I had to set a quick meeting with one of my friends for a certain transaction, I was unable to find a space in Brew Berry. Thank God there's Vienna Cafe just right across the corner, I've often visited the place but I haven't talked about it here. So this is to also add to your list of places where you can also have a meal.  I only had their Clubhouse. My usual order when I just want to eat something not so heavy. :-)  They have their contact number below for inquiries and reservations.  Here are the list of Vienna Kaffeehaus' meal prices! Quite pricey I'd say, but well, reasonable still.  Assessments with 5.0 as the highest and 0 as the lowest Ambiance: 4.9 it's a cool dim place which could soothe your stressful day. A relaxing place to be in.  Service: 4.5 I could have given an excellent mark had they implemented stationing, service water upon set up, etc. Still have something to improve. But g...

J&A Fishpen, Taguines Lagoon, Benoni, Mahinog Camiguin!

Image
Again, as I mentioned in my previous blog, we had a tour or a ride around the entire Camiguin Island. When we reached Benoni, Mahinog my sister requested that we stop by for a snack or dinner! We were hungry after a half-day ride. I obliged, we stopped at the Lagoon! Taguines Lagoon! J & A Fishpen! I was not able to get the pictures I took for the food, but I wanted to give you an idea how much it could cost you. I'd say they have reasonable prices as well. I shall update this blog, once the photos of the food were already with me. Right now, you can check their prices.

Camridge Inn A Taste of Camiguin!

Image
I wanted to climb up the mountain and have a sight of the beautiful Island. What could be more appropriate than a place with food! Haha I visited my cousin and she came home with me. We agreed to have a tour around Camiguin, but first go up the mountain to just relax and have our sight-seeing session. She agreed and my siblings are up for it too!  We were told there's a new establishment just next to PhilVolcs office in Payahan.  We rode towards PhilVolcs and true enough, Camridge is there! Newly opened!  Because it's newly opened, the rooms are not yet available. We were not allowed to view the rooms before they open it for lodging. We were only ushered to the restaurant area, where we had a panoramic view of Mambajao, Camiguin. :-) Upon entering the restaurant, we can't help but take photos of ourselves.haha wefie! :-) My cousin and two siblings! And yes, that's me, enjoying the beer with the fresh air in the mountain! Fantastic!...
