Francisfest Charity Religious Auction

By | Arts and Culture, Giving Back | One Comment

Last October 20, Thursday, was the Francisfest Charity Auction organized by Tito Joey Soriano, President of the Parish Pastoral Council of the Sanctuario de San Antonio Parish Church.   His goal was to raise P 11m and by that evening he was already halfway without even selling yet all the auction items.

Inagiku Buffet

By | Foodie, Hearty Deals | 4 Comments

On November 1,  most restaurants were closed since it was a holiday.  So you can rely on hotel restaurants to be opened on holidays and Heart2Heart is so happy that Mom chose Inagiku in Shangri-la Hotel Makati!  They had a Japanese buffet which is only during holidays and weekend lunches.  I have been hearing about this from my son, Jaime, who goes with his friends, but this is our first time to try it.  It has been ongoing for a little more than a year they said.  My Mom and I were talking and we came to a conclusion that a person can only eat a certain amount of food, so no matter how much ” ALL YOU CAN EAT” there is, you can only take what your stomach will accommodate.  This is really value for money for those who can eat a lot!! 🙂  

I am posting this now so in case you have not tried it, you can try it already over the weekend!!!

Midas Hotel and Casino

By | Accomodations | One Comment

On our way home from the National Museum we saw the new Midas Hotel and we were curious to see how it looked, so we stopped by

Very modern

And wow!! I loved the lobby wall!! I only realized later on that those were Hermes bag boxes!!! It must be the boxes of the bags of the owner?  I don’t think you can buy just boxes to display! 🙂

midas-hotel-02.jpg

There was a display near the elevator of an Hermes bag which was for sale.  The guard told us that there used to be three and the other two were sold already. Hmmm…

The lobby from the back

We went to see their restaurants, they apparently only have a coffeeshop and they were having a buffet at that time. I wish they had more boutique hotel type restaurants

Photos of the room from their website, Best to try hotel rooms when they are still new 🙂
