Spalicious at Sonya’s Garden

On 10.19.09, In Health, Travel, By mylifejoys

It was a family event when we went to Sonya’s Garden for a spa weekend get away.  I’ve heard so much about this place and so far everything were positive.  Now that I’ve seen the place for myself, I totally agree.

Mine was a Full Body Scrub with free Cream Bath (Php 1120) – This is a one hour exfoliating full body scrub with moisturizing cream. The effect was not just polished skin but also invigorating with the massage that comes with this service.

Other services we had were:

Foot Spa with Back Massage, 1 hour   Php 560

Hair Spa with Scalp Massage, 30 mins   Php 560

Aromatherapy Steam Bath, 20 mins   Php 450

Manicure/Pedicure, Php  150/Php   150

Lilac Package, 2.5 hours   Php  2580

Lilac package comes with body scrub with a choice from rose, banana, green tea, or olive grove plus facial and hair spa, Sonya’s signature massage.

By the way, the soaps in their bathrooms were the mini-honey soaps from Ilog Maria, a honey bee farm nearby.

And then, there is a Panaderia (Bakeshop) with various local breads and pastries.

Ilog Maria Honeybee Farms

On 07.05.09, In Travel, By mylifejoys

One saturday morning, our family went for a trip to Silang, Cavite in search for Ilog Maria Honeybee Farms.  We originally planned to go to Bohol Bee Farm but because of conflicting schedules, the trip to Silang is more than welcome.  It is so rare that we get to a far place from home together these days.

Event: Island Cove Adventure I

On 03.08.09, In Events, Travel, By mylifejoys

Summer is here and there is no better way to welcome the season than our version of Amazing Race in Binakayan, Cavite.  With friends and bloggers, we were invited to Detour: Island Cove Adventure.  It is my first time in Island Cove and I’d say I was impressed with the diverse offerings that they have for the whole family.

I say diverse because they cater to the interests from fishing, singing, outdoor fun such as swimming (with slides!), and  paintball.  Kids and kids once will also enjoy and learn about nature in the butterfly farm and zoo featuring crocodiles, about 35 monkeys, ostriches, cassowary, lions, deer, and a lot more.  I suggest, you see for yourself, hehe.

For people who like the night life, they also have Patron where BBZ is served. Yes, Beer Below Zero. Island Cove so far is the only establishment in Cavite that serves BBZ.

San Geronimo or St. Jerome Parish is the oldest church in the town of Morong, Province of Rizal. The facade is said to have the element of baroque, this is not only an art or architectural treasure but also a living monument to the dominant catholic religion in the Philippines.

St. Jerome as its patron is a theological scholar who translated bible into Latin. As fate would have it, one of Morong’s Francican missionary, Fr. Juan de Placensia is the translator of Doctrina Chritiana, which is the first printed book in the Philippines.

Travel: Binondo, Manila – Of Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino fused into One

On 07.14.08, In Travel, By mylifejoys
 
     Even before there was Makati and Ortigas Business Districts, Binondo or Chinatown was the business center in Manila. Located along the Pasig River, this place was the center of commerce even before the Spanish regime.
    
     A main historical site, the Binondo Church stands as the long witness to the rich history of catholic Filipino-Chinese or Chinoys. This is also the birthplace of the first Filipino saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz.

Travel: Bamboo Beach House, Talipanan, Puerto Galera

On 07.02.08, In Travel, By mylifejoys

With Friends

 

     When I tend to be workaholic for sometime and then no work needs much attention, I suddenly think of cleaning. Cleaning emails, paper files, computer files, backups, and a lot more… and it happens, looking at the pictures that had long been stored in my local drive.  It gives a feeling of comfort to bring those joyful moments on travels, events, and just happy days when we feel like posing for the camera.

 

     I suddenly remembered my travels and most of all my friends… too bad some where not able to join this summer trip.

 

     In this particular post I will be sharing the adventure we had in Puerto Galera a year ago. With some of my friends Doc, Pol, Mama Cecil, Di, Ate Mye, and my Tita Vista we went to Bamboo Beach House in Talipanan, Puerto Galera where (you wouldn’t believe it) we paid only Php 1,000 for an overnight stay inclusive of 4 meals – lunch, dinner, breakfast, and another lunch. It was supposed to be 900 for 3 full meals but we requested to have an extra lunch as our ferry schedule was 2 PM.

 

 

Photo was taken by Ate Mye from the ferry boat
