Since we were there, we had lunch so we could try something different outside Pangulasian. If you are a guest here, the food is already included with the price of your room and it is buffet. The food was very good.
It was lunch buffet
Palitaw made right in front of you 🙂
What a nice surprise by the resort! They set up our dinner by the beach !! Then they made a heart shape out of the candles 🙂 How romantic! 🙂
Here we are 🙂 Grateful for a wonderful trip and bonding 🙂

From breakfast where you can make your own fresh smoothie
to the beautifully presented dishes
Malagos Cheese from Davao
Freshly baked pastries
Freshly cooked tapa, tocino, longganisa, etc
Here are the choices which they just cook as it is ordered – it is better so it is not wasted

Loved again this salmon dish 
Yum! I forgot the name of this dessert but it was good 🙂
Love the complimentary snacks in the room!!! Especially the Coconut cookies and the banana chips
They are known for their freshly baked coconut cookies which they serve when you arrive in the boat, in the room and while you go touring in the boat. They sell them too in the resort shop in a nice gift box 🙂
Amy Alvarez recommended for us to check out the beachfront of El Nido Town and so we did
It’s beautiful! Some travellers stay here rather than the resorts and it is like a mini Boracay 🙂 
Beautiful view from the beachfront
There are restaurants and shops by the street at the back of the beachfront
Funny sign 🙂 at a hostel
Amy said this was a good place for pizza
Tours being offered in several stalls 
Other offerings in the area

Last month I bumped into Mariana in the supermarket and she told me about a workshop. I really believe that that was not by chance and that I was meant to be in this workshop because it has brought so much happiness and peace to me.
Lia Bernardo was talking about sanctuaries and I realized that Rustan’s is one of my sanctuaries. When I’m here I’m so at home and I’m happy when I’m here with all the staff so friendly, the store always so clean with nice music and looking at all the beautiful things from all over the world is just happiness
In the photo are peonies which she loves and an Acrila dresser which is Lia’s sanctuary at home where she fixes up herself. Just listening to Lia is already happiness and so relaxing
In Rustan’s Home Lia Bernardo talked about creating sanctuaries in your home. Buying things and surrounding yourself with things that you love and that make you happy. Sometimes I feel we are pressured to put things in our home that we think will make other people happy or what maybe our interior designer likes. But in this sanctuary that Lia was talking about it has to be something personal to you.
When Lia Bernardo was talking about creating a sanctuary in your home, I knew right away what spot that was in my house and how I unconsciously created it. My husband always closes the door of my sanctuary because he thinks it’s weird 🙂 and I have to keep telling him that no one has to like it but me! And I’m so happy I have this place all to myself so I can put here everything that I want without having to please anyone . So anything pink and hearts and all my trinkets are all here. I love this place and it’s my happy place. No one bothers me when I’m here
Create your own sanctuary at home for your well being. Thank you Lia. We learned so many things. Blessing for the day. Lia is a Well being and Personal growth consultant. She does workshops on personal growth in the healing house or people can host their own retreats. I wish I could listen to her everyday so I will always be inspired and peaceful and happy.
She is also a partner of my cousin Katrina offering Elixir healing mists which can be used as personal fragrances or home spray. Contact liabernardo@gmail.com. She also has her own website which was recently launched! ( Click below to go to her website and follow her )
Introducing to all of you Mariana Mayorga who has been living in the Philippines for 2 1/2 years. She came to the Philippines for vacation since her Father was the Ambassador of Chile. She is a lawyer by profession but she met Tita Nedy and now she is a Rustan’s Department store Makati Personal Shopper. Call her at 09152178776 and she can help you for anything. You can also call her for a date because she’s still single haha!! 🙂
My Mom has a food notebook which lists down all the food she has in the house. It is categorised ! This way she can just look at her notebook to know what is in her pantry /storage. It also indicates the Best Before or expiry dates of each food item
Aside from food, she has albums with photos of the home items she has also in storage
Each item has a photo and it indicates the quantity and the location where it is stored
