A desire to go to Boracay…

Posted by Ada on Category: Travel | 20 Comments

“Hey!! Let’s go to Boracay!!” My always attempt to invite someone.

Surfer Dudes

Everytime I try to invite someone to come with me to Boracay, they would just say, You’ll just get bored especially you have already been to beautiful beaches.. I don’t want to believe it!! I know Boracay isn’t just a place.

I admit I have been to several beaches in the Philippines and never did get to see the Philippines’ legendary tourist spot, Boracay. Given those feedbacks from some people, I still would want to go to Boracay knowing that it has more to offer than other tourist spot in the country one of the best beaches here.

I am writing this as I would like to be selected as one of the travel bloggers to join the tour in Boracay and have a pleasant and relaxing stay at Microtel. This would be great a opportunity for me visit Boracay for the very first time.

Why I think I should be chosen for this tour?

Dangkalan Beach Resort: A place to stay at Puerto Princesa, Palawan

Posted by Ada on Category: Hotel, Travel | 18 Comments

We actually transferred here the second day of our stay since we didn’t really like the first hotel we stayed in. We have lots of hotel brochures of Puerto Princesa and it’s hard to pick since we really don’t know which offers the best service at an affordable price until we ended up choosing Dangkalan Beach Resort.

Robinsons Galleria 13
Clean rooms, very fresh. Sure they are very accommodating. Two thumbs up!

Together with my friends Mica and Jenny, we immediately headed at their beach proper area. It’s low tide, so the water is not noticeable at far.

My favorite spot at Dangkalan.

It’s very fascinating that they have a place like this. I am amazed with the views and the fresh strong wind coming from the beach. We’re facing the Sulu Sea! Continue reading »

It’s been awhile since I’ve shopped 50% off

Posted by Ada on Category: Shopping | 13 Comments

I’ve so busy since my training started. I wear casual clothes when going to training and been wearing the same clothes over and over every week. I am tired of my outfit but I can’t shop since my budget is just enough for everyday expenses and household bills. But the large reason why I don’t want to shop is — I am waiting for mall sale!

Robinsons Galleria 2

Just yesterday, Robinsons Malls held their annual Clearance Sale up to 50% off on great selected items. I was one of the lucky people to get here as early as first day. What I like about in this mall is that they are sale all throughout the month of August.

Robinsons Galleria 9

We chose Robinson’s Galleria to shop nonstop. To help you find store, here are some shops I spotted up to 50% off items. Continue reading »
