I noticed a lot of beautiful flowers around the Discovery Shores this time…maybe because last November it was decorated for Christmas
We had asked around and had found out that the Resident Manager, Ferdie Salvador, is responsible for the beautiful flowers in the resort

This is our second time to stay at Discovery Shores and it was even better than the first…same place but a unique experience the second time around
As usual, we had a very warm welcome when we arrived
It’s those details that count whether big or small……the Welcome Home sign made us feel more at home and that fresh buko lychee drink when we arrived was soooooo….refreshing!!!
Wow!! All these welcome gifts from the hotel and from the wedding couple…..
It was not JR this time, but Carlo who brought us to our room
We tried the one bedroom suite this time….Wow!! Beautiful!
Since the airplane has a weight limit of ten kilos, I am so glad they provide all these amenities 🙂
We have a bath tub!!! I only get to have this luxury when in hotels, so I take advantage. Just make sure to roll down the roman shades 🙂
This was a very pleasant surprise! The first evening when we went to the room, we saw our pillows had our names embroidered on them! We could not believe it. What a nice touch!! They said they would keep those linens for us so that when we come back, they will use those same pillowcases again
And this is new from Discovery Shores…
The Lunch Buffet- I was able to take photos of part of it
Late afternoon they set up this area for cocktails by the beach…
A quiet saturday evening
A beautiful Sunday morning
Til our next stay… Thank you to Discovery shores for a wonderful time…

I am terrified to ride small planes!! So, I was so happy to hear that there was this PAL EXPRESS which was a 50+ seater which we used last November to Boracay. It was a very very pleasant flight, it was on time, it was not scary at all! So I made sure we took the same flight this trip….. and again the same great experience. Going back home, we were the ones that were even late – it took off 20 minutes before schedule. WOW! I am taking PAL EXPRESS all the time to Boracay!

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been eyeing this for a long time, so for Valentine’s Day i treated myself and bought 3 sets – for me and my two sons. It is P 690.00 for a set of 4! We each have our own colors, of course mine is pink 🙂 So just in time for my trip, I used it already and it is the BEST!! All I do when I arrive in the hotel is bring out the 4 bags and just put it in the closet. And the most benefit I will see in the future is when we travel with the boys. Atleast now we can segragate their clothes especially since they share one luggage most of the time. And it will relieve me of the task of fixing the clothes when we arrive. Now, it is an instant and quick unpacking!! Inventions like these are BLESSINGS to me!! Less hassle! Less stress! Hopefully it will teach my kids to be organized too.
It takes great leadership with vision and a great team to implement that vision! The past 3 years have been a time of transformation for the Manila Polo Club in preparation for its 100 years anniversary. Congratulations to all those that helped make all this possible – the past 3 administrations, the committees and to our friend and General Manager, Pat Puyat-Palanca. Pat told me that they hired her for this purpose and this project. I can confidently say that they did hire the right person for the job!

Last month, we finally tried out Fez. Mom and I have been eyeing it as we wanted to try Morroccan food in Manila. A very nice and cozy place. We were a group of 12 and we filled up half the restaurant 🙂 We were surprised to find out that there was no couscous, no chicken tangine and all the Morrocan food that we enjoy. But nevertheless, the food was good, everyone seemed to enjoy the kebabs, the appetizers and the curry dishes were popular
Pizza Pita
Fez Nachos
Herbed Potato wedges
Fez Meatballs
Fez Fish with Cheese Sauce
Beef Salpicao
Shrimp Curry
Bolognese
Chicken Curry
Spicy Calamari
Fez Platter

Sonny gave a despedida dinner for his cousin, Jerome. What a nice gesture! It was a very nice and well prepared dinner by Tootsy. Thank you Sonny and Tootsy for hosting!!
I enjoyed the evening very much with the gang! We will once again miss our friend but hopefully will see him somewhere around the world soon! 🙂
