What to do on Valentine’s Day

These places/activities I will be sharing with you are those which I haven’t yet featured on my blog. They all happened a few years ago and I’m thinking for those who  haven’t been to these places yet, you can actually make them your Valentine destination this year. These places are better suited for those living in Metro Manila  and nearby areas since these are just a few hours’ drive  from the city. If you’re the nomadic type and won’t be satisfied with just a Valentine dinner date and yet you don’t really have the budget nor the time to go to exotic and/or expensive places like Baguio (Panagbenga flower festival is coming up!), Bicol,  Bohol, Boracay, Camiguin, Cebu, Davao, Dumaguete, Hong Kong, Ilocos,  Indonesia, Malaysia,  Palawan, Quezon,  Singapore,  Siquijor, etc.  then I’m sure these activities would interest you.

Avilon Zoo, Montalban Rizal

When we went here in 2005, we were with my parents, my best friend Mer and ex-bf Mikki. Avilon Zoo has just been recently put up then and I’m sure they have more animals and amenities now.

The Avilon Montalban Zoological Park is the largest zoological park in the Philippines, to date. The 7.5-hectare of the zoo lies in the picturesque valley of Barrio San Isidro, Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), Rizal, Philippines.

Guided tours and Educational Fieldtrips offer guests/visitors the priviledge of observing and knowing more about the ecology and behavior of the animals, how to conserve and protect the threatened and endangered species and how to save and protect our environment.

Avilon zoo has various departments and each has its own respective curator, veterinarian, supervisors, and keepers. These are the Department of Herpetology and Arachnology, the Department of Ichthyology, the Department of Ornithology, the Department of Mammalogy, the Wildlife Nursery and Rearing Department, the Veterinary Medicine and Quarantine Department, the Department of Laboratory Medicine, the Leisure and Recreation Department, and the Animal Nutrition Department.

Subic Hot Air Balloon Fest, Clark Pampanga

We first did this kind of trip in 2006. We usually go with our friends to make the whole  thing more fun and enjoyable. Be sure to go to Clark in the wee hours of the morning like around 5am so you can catch all the balloons being inflated plus you will miss the traffic which usually ensues such events.

Feb. 11, 2010, Thursday Festivities

 Feb. 12, 2010, Friday Festivities

 Feb. 13, 2010, Saturday Festivities

 Feb. 14, 2010, Sunday Festivities

The rest of the time, once the balloons are up in the air and can’t be seen anymore, you can just enjoy the rest of the activities there like flying some kites, joining some rides, watching the search and rescue exhibitions, plane demontrations and a lot more!!!

 ~~~oOo~~~

Check-in at one of the hotels in Clark or Subic

Since you’re already in Subic, you can stay in one of their resorts there. The one we stayed at before was Woodland Resort. They have a huge pool, lots of huts/cabanas to hang out at and they have airconditioned rooms good for five people in case you’re coming with your friends.

 You may contact them at:

 Camayan Beach Resort, Subic

 Check-out time at hotels is usually at 12 noon. Before you head back to Manila, you might wanna lounge at Camayan Beach Resort and watch the sunset. That’s what we did when we did the Hot Air Balloon Fest that year. You can do the same. If you’re not the beach kind of person, then you can visit Ocean Adventure, Zoobic Safari and Butterfly Farm at JEST Camp. I want to go back to these places again and I want to do that this month. I just realized I lost my digital photos of these three places. What’s left are just the few ones I was able to print before. Sigh. And you know me, if I don’t have the digital photos, it’s as if they never happened. Teehee.

And of course, you can always visit the duty free shops in the area before finally heading back to Manila.  Subic is definitely a one-stop shop for travellers and tourists. They seem to have everything you could ever want. ^_^

~~~oOo~~~

 Prestige Cruises, Manila Bay

For those who would like to stay in Manila, you can celebrate your Valentine’s Day with someone you love while cruising Manila Bay and watching the sunset.  When we did this, Peter and I were with two of our friends and there was even a live band. There were only very few people then so I was able to sing with the band that night. Hehehe.

PRESTIGE CRUISES of  Pasay City is currently offering the following promo especially for Balikbayan folks:

Check-in at one of the hotels in Manila

Our usual picks when it comes to choosing hotels in the city are Sofitel and Mandarin.You can take your pick too. There are other newer hotels out there. It’s just that we’ve always loved the food at Sofitel’s Spiral Restaurant and Mandarin’s Paseo Uno buffet and Tin Hau’s Chinese cuisines are always ever so yummy!

 You can spend a very relaxing Valentine weekend in any of these. They usually offer promos during holidays and they also feature performers like bands and cultural shows during Valentine’s night.

 ~~~oOo~~~

Terrazas de Punta Fuego, Nasugbu, Batangas

For those living near the south or those who don’t mind another few hours’ drive from the city, you can always check out Batangas. We always frequent this place and there are just so many things to do there! 

 You can do wake boarding at Lago de Oro, lounge at Les Caraibes or any of the other beaches there like Laiya and Munting Buhangin. For those who want privacy and more posh settings, head to Verde Island between Batangas and Mindoro.

 If you have the budget, it’s best to check out Terrazas de Punta Fuego. It’s just beside Munting Buhangin but you will feel like as if you were in Bali, Indonesia. Last I went here was in 2007  after my 6-month Management Development Training Program in the office. It was soooo beautiful!  I want to have a vacation house just like one of those that they have. ^_^

 For other places to explore and things to do on Valentine’s Day that are not so expensive, please check out these links so you can have more options and be able to plan accordingly. Five more days to go!

Watch out for my post on that. ^_^

Enjoy planning your Valentine’s Day, folks!

Feb. 18, 2010: Golden Jubilee Celebration of Lopez Museum Kicks Off

Did you know that Lopez Memorial Museum and Library, which started out as just a mere personal collection of the late Eugenio Lopez, Sr. is now regarded as the finest museum in Asia? It has definitely risen above the ranks and is now considered as a credible and honorable institution in the Philippines.

The museum was founded 1960, with only the 36 Juan Luna and 182 Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo masterpieces and now has over 19,000 Filipiniana titles by 12,000 authors, maps, rare books, , literary works and manuscripts. They’ve also made sure that these wonderful works are preserved for the use of the future generations through their digitization project and conservation laboratory.

Through the years, Lopez Museum has always been committed to move the institution forward by broadening its commitments outside its physical structure, as well as pursuing an interdisciplinary approach to its exhibitions and programs.

On my birthday, Lopez Museum celebrates 50th anniversary on February 18. On the same day, anniversary activities will kick off  with the Unfolding book launch and opening of Threads exhibit. As they launch their coffee table book, “Unfolding Half a Century: The Lopez Memorial Museum”, they will also open an avant-garde exhibit, Threads: The Museum as Site for the Weaving of Tales.

The exhibit will present several contemporary artists. To wit: Leo Abaya, Myra Beltran, Jef Carnay, Kiri Dalena, Ann Pamintuan, Jean Marie Syjuco and Ann Wizer. Each of them will either create an art taken from their personal inception and design of the museum or to do cosplay characters of the symbolic works found in the museum’s collections. All of these will be for the purpose of showcasing what museums really do which are — to serve as places of memory and recollection as well as chronological story-telling. Watch out for these main features from February 19-25, 2010 to be exhibited at the Rockwell Power Plant Mall North Court.

Alongside these highlights will be the public opening of the 50th anniversary exhibition of Lopez Museum at the premises in Ortigas Center, Pasig. The exhibition, After the Fact, arouses memory of past exhibitions and serves as a sneak peek of Lopez Museum’s forthcoming plan of action. It will present key works by Gaston Damag, Antipas Delotavo, Imelda Cajipe-Endaya and Keith Sicat, also included in the museum’s collection.

The institution has always been dedicated to moving forward by expanding its commitment outside the borders of its physical architecture. Moreover, they are currently pursuing an interdisciplinary approach to its exhibitions and programs. It will also launch a new website for the  Lopez Musem, www.lopez-museum.org where visitors would be able to access their archives of around 100,000 images. That is a lot! Kudos to Lopez Museum!

To be part of their celebration, visit the Lopez Museum and Library Facebook page for more information.

Here are the highlighted events to kick off their anniversary:
February 18: “Unfolding” launch and opening of Threads exhibit at the Rockwell Tent
February 19 to 25: Threads: The Museum as Site for the Weaving of Tales at Rockwell Power Plant Mall
February 12 to September 18: After the Fact at the Lopez Memorial Museum

DOT Lauds Caticlan Airport Expansion

          The Department of Tourism (DOT) is extending its full support to the Caticlan airport expansion project which, upon completion, is expected to accommodate 1.2M passengers annually, from its present capacity of 700,000. “One of the world’s best beaches deserves a first-class airport.  We join Boracay’s stakeholders in upholding this milestone as it aims to haul in a sizeable traffic of tourists and create more jobs for the people,” said Ace Durano, Secretary of Tourism. The DOT and the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) were present at the project’s recent groundbreaking led by President Gloria-Macapagal Arroyo.

          The P2.507B Build, Operate and Transfer project granted to private consortium Caticlan International Airport Development Company (CIADC) began its first of three construction phases, which cover a total 7-year period. The long-term infrastructure development includes addition of a second-level to the terminal building; upgrading of facilities such as the fire station, fencing and navigational aids; tapering of the bordering hill adjacent to the runway, lengthening and widening of the runway, installation of navigation and air traffic tower, and construction of a new 9,200 square-meter two-storey terminal building.

          From 950 meters by 30 meters, the runway will be upgraded to 2,100 meters by 45 meters.  “The widening and lengthening of the runway will allow bigger aircrafts such as the Airbus to bring in more passengers straight to Caticlan,” said Durano. The airport is currently limited to one way landing or take-off for smaller planes due to the constricted landing strip. Environmental issues raised against the development have been promptly addressed, according to Undersecretary Eduardo Jarque, Jr., Tourism Planning and Promotions. “An Environment Compliance Certificate was issued already, four years prior to the project launch,” said Jarque.

          The DOT further maintains that there will be no leveling or flattening of the hill involved in the runway expansion, but rather a tapering of the adjacent slope to ensure passenger safety during take-off.  “The slope reduction is necessary to avoid the abrupt degree of ascent for bigger planes.  This proposal was preceded by a thorough Environmental Impact Assessment,” added Attorney Victoria Jasmin, DOT Director of Office of Tourism Standards.

          In 2009, Boracay received nearly 700,000 tourists from all over the country and the world.

Weekend at Cebu Part I: Departure, Boeing 747 & Waterfront Hotel

Jan. 29, 2010, 7:00 am, I was already at the Centennial Airport with my hubby waiting for Carelle and RR. I guess we were pretty early since they were still on their way and our flight was scheduled at 9:30 am. I’m usually like that. Better be early than get stressed about being late. ^_^ To make the most of our time, Peter and I shared breakfast at Le Bistro located at the ground flooor of the airport. It used to be Figaro. But I guess Ms. Chit Juan turned all her Figaro franchises into Le Bistro instead. Smart move! ^_^

We ordered a  big cup of  hot Mocha drink and a slice of carrot cake. Yum! Had I known that there was Jollibee upstairs, I should’ve ordered Pinoy breakfast instead. I was still kind of hungry then. The carrot cake stimulated my appetite. Hehehe.

Then we met up with Carelle and RR outside Jollibee. As soon as we got our tickets, we checked-in  our stuff and spent the rest of the time napping. Well, I tinkered with the available free wifi at the airport while Carelle and RR caught some zzzzzs. They haven’t slept yet.

Finally, it was time to board. It was only when we reached the plane that I realized we were riding PAL’s Boeing 747. I know it’s an old plane (coz they still show CD walkman and Nokia 5110 in their vdieos) but I was just mesmerized by how big it was! It even has a second floor. My seat was comfortable compared to Cebu Pacific’s and Tiger Airways’ seats, I have a touch screen LCD monitor in front of me where I can watch videos and there are foot rests or pedals which are perfect for a five footer like me. Hehehe. Biscuits, nuts, coffe/tea and water were served and the whole flight was just so comfy and enjoyable for me. To think we were seated at Fiesta Class. I wonder how the business and first class sections feel like? Hmmm…

By the time we reached Cebu, I was already quite sleepy. You see, I came from my shift and I promised myself not to sleep so I can change my body clock. I guess it worked!  I managed to stay awake until  3am the next day and it was awesome! Anyway, every time I go to Cebu, it feels like second home to me. The truth is, it seems like I get to go here more often than I get to visit my parents in Rizal. Teehee.  Bad, Jen, bad. ^_^

Anyhoo, the first thing we did when we reached Waterfront Hotel was to enjoy their lunch buffet! Actually, during this whole weekend trip, all we did was eat all the time. I tried to stay away from the heavy meals but I couldn’t  resist the appetizers and desserts. *burp!*

We ate from 11:30-2:00 pm. We were stuffed! Since our room wasn’t ready yet, my roommate (Sheryl) and I stayed at the lobby and talked about politics. Funny experience here… we were bashing two popular politicians all  the while forgetting that Cebu is these politicians domain. Oooppss. Finally, at 2:30 pm, we checked-in and rested for a while. The room was soooo cold that I was forced to turn off the airconditioning. 

Come 4:00 pm, while Sheryl was sleeping, I used the free time I had to explore the swimming pool area. There were only  few visitors hanging out here (coz most probably, majority was at the casino like we did before when Peter, Popsy and I went here to enjoy some games and waste some cash).  ^_^

Boracay Undergoing Ecological ‘Makeover’ with Infra Program

 

            The Philippines’ premier tourism destination Boracay Island is experiencing a much-needed ‘makeover’ with the on-going comprehensive infrastructure program which will to provide100% water supply and sewerage coverage to the entire community.  

            Increased water efficiency will make a significant difference to the island, ensuring the availability of safe, potable water, and addressing the concern of water pollution, a concern in Boracay for sometime.

            The project is spearheaded by the Boracay Island Water Company, Inc. (BIWC), a joint venture company between Manila Water Company, Inc. and the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA).
 

            Established through a MOA signed in April 2009 with DOT Secretary Ace Durano and Manila Water Chairman Fernando Zobel de Ayala as key witnesses, the JV company will develop and operate the existing Boracay Water Supply and Sewerage System (BWSS) in Malay, Aklan. 

            Durano said the public- private sector partnership can be likened to a ‘grand slam win,’ noting four key factors such as “support infrastructure as an integral component of sustainable tourism development; the elimination of the water and sewerage constraint, benefiting both existing and new investments in the island; protection and conservation of the natural beauty of Boracay; and the creation of new jobs for locals.”

            He also disclosed, “In 2009, there were 4,000 additional rooms in Boracay alone.  More flights are also available, and while this signals a vibrant market, we want to ensure that the island can cope with the increasing demand from tourists, more so now that the global economy is on a gradual upswing.”

            At present, there are 3,500 water connections, 700 of which are owned by commercial establishments in Boracay. 

            Under the joint venture, the authorized capital stock of the JV Company shall be PhP300 million whereby Manila Water’s equity contribution shall be 80% while PTA’s equity contribution shall be 20%.  Durano also mentioned that the JV Company shall design, build, operate and upgrade the water and sewerage facilities of Boracay.

            The signed agreement creating the JV company is in accordance with the terms and requirements of the 2008 NEDA Joint Venture Guidelines for Government Corporations and the Private Sector.
 

            “Preserving the island’s ecological wealth is our foremost priority. Promoting the sought-after destination to travelers also entails guaranteeing that the island can provide safe water to the local community and to tourists,” noted Undersecretary for Tourism Planning and Promotions Eduardo Jarque, Jr.
 

            Manila Water has an existing concession in the East Zone of Metro Manila with a customer base of around 5.6 million people.  Since the start of operations in 1997, the company has already increased 24-hour water coverage to 99 percent from 26 percent and reduced water losses from 63 percent to less than 20 percent at present.

Before I Go To Cebu

Gosh, this week has been so hectic! The only thing that kept me alive and kicking during my busy working schedule was watching Jack Bauer’s heroic acts in both Seasons 5 and 6 of 24, while working. Awesomeness! But before that, Peter and I went out with our friends, Carelle Mangaliag (yes, that kid from Kulit Bulilit and the one who sang the 1995 World Youth Day theme song) and RR Herrera (yes, the former childstar and current endoser of GSM Blue). We all met at Keiseki at The Fort for dinner last Saturday night. It’s been so long since we last saw each  other. But I didn’t forget how great their company always is.

Then we transfered to Mint Bar where we danced  the night away over a pitcher of Mojito *hick!*. We wanted a change of scene so off we went to Suite (formerly Embassy Cuisine) where we inched our way to the bar and I ordered a glass of  Long Island  iced tea. It was the first time after a loooong while that I got really tipsy while partying in a public place. It was soooo much fun! I should do this more often Hehehehe. 

Even when we went to The Cafeteria to chill out, we still ordered some wheatgcrass alcoholic concoction. Teehee. Haylaveeet!!! We all had a great time and I even got to meet two of Carelle’s equally fantastic friends, MC and Maia. ^_^ I hope to see them again, hopefully next week, when we party with Brownman Revival. It was supposed to be tonight. But when RR called and told me that our flight tomorrow is at 9:30 am, we all decided to reschedule our party night next week. Plus, I still have to finish packing and get some work done.

Anyway, I can’t believe that January is almost over and I managed to keep my schedule so far.  Time surely flies so fast when one is having fun with his/her life. I know I am and I am always grateful. The only time I was able to rest was when I cooked meals for myself. Other than that, I was busy working in front of the computer just so I can finish everything before I go to Cebu tomorrow. Yup, you read that right. I know I haven’t even finished posting about my Malapascua trip last November 2009  and  still got to sort out photos and videos of my Asian trip, and now I’m  flying again. But this time, it’s for work. No, I didn’t take a different job. Our friends Carelle and RR will be having a three-day life coaching workshop and they need an assistant to tag along with them. Ever since that time in Les Caraibes, when Peter and I met them and considered them two of the most amazing people we know, I have always been interested in joining their company, eMotivating Minds. I just don’t know how or where to start since I have been working as a virtual assistant full time and I’m loving my current job too. So when we all met up at The Fort last weekend and Carelle mentioned about the the assistant thing, I immediately grabbed the opportunity. This way, I get to somehow apprentice with them. Anyway, it’s a weekend and I’d really love to see them work. ^_^ At last, I’ll be able to use my new KECCi backpack. So anyway, I gotta go and finish packing. See yah when I see yah and enjoy the rest of the week! Carpe Diem, folks!
