Mattress from the Four Seasons Hotel

By | Great Inventions, Homes and Interiors, Shopping | 3 Comments

James did everything for the newly renovated house.   There were only a few specifications I asked for and one of them was to order for me the mattress from the Four Seasons Hotel!  I have stayed in two Four Seasons Hotel ( Singapore and Vancouver )  in my life and in those two times, I remember having a comfortable experience and slept very well during my stay there.

We sleep almost half of our lives and I think that having a good sleep is very important, so aside from our subzero, our mattress is another investment we had to make! It’s WORTH IT!!

The mattress is so comfortable because it is plush yet firm at the same time.  The reason for this is that it has a pillow top layer on top of the mattress

Other important components of our bed:

1.)  Down comforter

2.)  Comforter cover with the highest thread count that you can get! We got ours from Rustan’s department store

 To order you need to contact the hotel that is nearest to your shipping address.  So for us, it was the one in San Francisco: 

 Gordon Yee – Director of Purchasing

Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco

757 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

Asia to Africa Safaris

By | Animals and Pets, Travel | 3 Comments

I have been dreaming of going to an African Safari.  It’s in my bucket list!  I am probably going to make only one trip in my life to Africa so I will make sure I get the BEST experience.   Thanks to A to A for making it easier for everyone to make that dream come true.   I spoke to Jeremy Sy from A to A Safari and he says that they specialize in high end Safari trips but of course they can also organize trips to fit your budget.  As a kid, I always thought of safaris as roughing it out in the middle of nowhere.  And did not realize that there are several luxurious camps that are really really very nice with incredible views and with unique experiences!!! I am looking forward to my African Safari someday!

Ten years ago, A to A was started by my brother’s friend, Binky Dizon and his partners.  What a great idea!!! They not only service the Philippine market but the whole of Asia!

Since I have never been to a Safari, I have asked permission from my Dad and Mom and their friends to share their recent ( 2009 )  trip to Africa.  They went as a group of friends and they had so much fun.  I also heard that it is a romantic destination for honeymoon couples or just couples in general.  I am sure it will be fun to go as a big family as well though the camps are generally small so if you are a big family, you will probably fill up the whole camp.  I think it would be nice to go as a reasonable size group
