Formerly White Cove, Canyon Cove has been acquired by UCPB and Tagaytay Grasslands Co. Inc. This is located in Wawa, Nasugbu, Batangas. This place is a good choice for day tour beach and other aqua sports. Entrance fee to avail of beach facilities is at Php 200. There are seasonal offers that include plated lunch or buffet lunch ranging from Php 550-Php 800.
Day tour is my personal preference for this place because in my experience for an overnight stay, some of their facilities need some more improvements on facilities and more drastic training in events management.
For facilities, there are cabinets in the rooms that need minor repairs, squeaky doors, leaks from ceiling in the CR, non-working aircon in room or conference hall, faucet malfunction, etc… and it was difficult to transfer if there are corporate bookings.
Day tour accommodation is quite promising given that the common shower room is better maintained (or probably has been recently renovated). I enjoyed the kayak. Rate is at Php 350/hour including two life vests. Beach is clean and the water was refreshing and blue. Pool area is very enticing with all the cabanas around and trees close to the area provide some shade and greenery, making the place relaxing and cozy.

It was a friend of mine, Rael, who advised me to look for Shiok “somewhere near Shell, Startbucks, and GCIC.” This place offers Singaporean dishes at a reasonable price. And because I super trust her recommendation on Asian fusion, it was on the top of my list for the week.
This afternoon, I looked for the landmarks mentioned in our discussion. With the scorching heat of the afternoon sun, I told myself, “This better be good…” So when I entered Shiok- a Singaporean slang for “tastes good” – the smell of the place already brought back memories of Merlions and Food Junction. Here is my first order (for what will seem to be frequent visits frome here on)…
Hainan Chicken meal (Php 255): consists of nasi lemak (rice), chicken, and various sauces i.e. hoisin, chili, and ground ginger. As you can see, the bird used is an older, which is the original Hainanese style. There are some variations of modern cooks who use young and tender chicken but not in the case of Shiok. Even if the bird is older, the end result was a tender and tasteful dish.

We celebrated Mother’s Day in Ye Dang Korean BBQ Restaurant in Meralco Avenue. It was a jam-packed night and waiting by the entrance with a long queue of patrons, including showbiz personalities patiently waiting to get a table, has really got me intrigued.
When we finally got a table, the parade of appetizers already made me full I forgot we ordered for beef, chicken, and pork for grilling. The appetizers were bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, kimchi, tofu, spicy dilis, baby potatoes.
I haven’t taken much notice on the price as my attention was taken by the various appetizers in front. Along with amazement that a lot of people are still coming in and waiting at close to 8PM on a sunday night. I eventually learned that it’s a usual scene in Meralco Avenue (along Metrowalk area) as Ye Dang is popular for its food and the uniqueness that the place offers from a lot of competing restos in Ortigas center.
In the past when shabu-shabu’s novelty has hooked me (even up to now), this Korean resto has definitely taken a place in my list of personal preferences that is worth coming back any day of the week.

When we talk of Pilipinas Got Talent the name of Jovit Baldivino will surely get into mind. Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) is a Philippine franchise of the Got Talent show popularized in Britain and United States,
The first few weeks that the show has been aired, my personal belief is that Jovit Baldivino’s act was a turning point to catch audience into this ABS-CBN talent contest. Who knows which created which. If the sixteen year-old teen created a fan base for PGT or if Jovit was created by the show. The truth is… both of them works together that made Filipinos go crazy over this show.
Jovit’s audition piece was a rendition of “Faithfully,” popularized by Journey with another Filipino artist at the lead vocals, Ariel Pineda. YouTube videos of this audition piece has reached 3-million views and Facebook fans has created fan pages for this talent from Batangas.
Today, he has again captured the hearts of many audiences that within minutes, his semi-finals performance was in YouTube and Facebook already. His rendition of “Carrie” had the audience and all of the judges – Kris Aquino, Ai-Ai Delas Alas and Freddie Garcia, on a standing ovation.
