Buffet Breakfast at Lamian Bellevue Resort Bohol

By | Travel | One Comment

 Part of a getaway is waking up at your own pace and catching the buffet breakfast that closes at 10am! 🙂  It’s even better because it becomes brunch and you eat once instead of twice 🙂 Buffet Breakfast at Lamian Bellevue Resort Bohol (5)

 I went to the end of Bellevue Resort to take this shot to shoe the resort and the beach.  It’s was low tide.  I love going to places during non peak periods because you have the place practically to yourself.  That’s the secret to having a quiet and peaceful breakBellevue Resort Bohol (22)

 There are security guards in different areas of the resort – In the hut is a guard and which marks also the border of the resort.  There is a security guard also on the other sideBellevue Resort Bohol (29)

The rooms are spacious considering this is just the regular room.  This is the deluxe room and it was very comfortable for us.  Each room in the resort has a balcony tooBellevue Resort Bohol (9)

As soon as I arrived, I already spotted the best rooms in the place!  It’s here in the North Wing which are Beach front rooms.  The corner ones are the best because they face the beach directly and you have no obstructing room in front/  Request for room 220 and the best best would be the highest room 320 and they are junior suitesBellevue Resort Bohol (28)

We wanted to see those rooms but they were of course occupied so we took a look at the Presidential Suite.  Bellevue Resort Bohol (34)

TaclobBand by Healing Servants Foundation and Operation Compassion

By | Giving Back | No Comments

For more than a year I have been waiting for a project that I could join in ( in behalf of me and my cousins ) to help the Yolanda victims.  I wanted to participate in a project where we could be involved and not just donate the money.  Then just a week ago, my good friend and batch mate, Yvonne Dayrit Romualdez, told us about her upcoming project.  So glad we found what we were looking for!!!

During the Pope’s visit, Yvonne was so lucky to have been able to attend the mass in Tacloban with the Pope!!!!!  Good thing she loves us and prayed for us while she was there!!!  And it was because of her most touching experience that she and her family decided to help and build homes in Tacloban! Here is her story and though she has reached already her goal of selling 45 tables, she is still accepting donations from people who would still like to help build homes in TaclobanOperation Compassion (2)

DELICATE NEWBORN BABY SKIN
Children today are exposed to a wide range of different substances and products, the long-term effects of which are not yet fully known. A baby ?s delicate skin is easily irritated. Nappies, clothes, and even the various harmful chemicals contained in a large number of child care products can cause skin redness, burning and rashes. A baby ?s skin is five times thinner than an adult ?s skin, therefore our children are more vulnerable to potential problems caused by the questionable ingredients contained in a number of conventional skincare products.

GMO(Genetically modified organisms), nano-particles, synthetic perfumes or dyes, animal components, lanolin, phthalates, parabens, chlorin, so- dium lauryl sulphate (SLS), sodium laureth sulphate (SLES), MIT, triclosan, propylene glycol, benzobarbital, phenoxiethenol or petrochemicals.
