Blue Coral Beach Resort has a lot of amenities such as swimming pool (adult and kiddie), warm water pool, videoke, table tennis, billiards, darts, badminton, tree house, souvenir shop, poolside bar, restaurant, mini zoo, fish pond. Guest can also try banana boat, fishing, speedboat, snorkeling, kayaking and island hopping. It was really fun experience here at Blue Coral beach resort. You can easily visit it within 2-4 hours of long drive with your love ones from Manila to Laiya, Batangas. I advice everyone to arrive at the place before the dawn so it would not be hard to find the place. It is a little bit remote and if you will visit the place by commuting, they told me it is hard to reach the place if it is evening. It will be dark and the chances to ride the public transportation will be low. It will be safe to arrive when the sun is still up.

Rates of the room/house (prices depend, if it is peak or off-peak season) :

• Main House - P21,200 
• Penthouse - P14,600
• Family Deluxe - P10,600
• Suite - P10,600
• Beachside - P5800
• Poolside - P5,800 
• Deluxe - P5,800

They have accommodating and approachable staff. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the food. If I would rate it, I will give them a satisfactory grade. But for overall, I will give them 4 out of 5 stars. The place was wonderful. You can enjoy the long shore line of the beach. Relax with privacy. Swim at the pool or at the beach. It was a nice experience. I will post more of the photos on my next blog post (CLICK HERE TO SEE).

Excuse the quality of my photo, used my ipad for the images.

This local movie is a feel good movie. Nothing serious with the storyline, it is about a novel called “The Gifted”, which the main characters were Anne Curtis as Zoe Tuazon, Cristine Reyes as Aica Tabayoyong and Sam Milby as Mark Ferrer. It started from their childhood and how they became close until high school, when Zoe (Anne Curtis) was really determined to be top of their class. She took advantage of Aica (Cristine Reyes) while she is so madly in love with Mon (Sam Milby), a newly transferred student that needs help on his academic, so she made a deal to make all his assignments, projects and even copy her test papers during exams. In return, all he has to do is make Aica (Cristine Reyes) distracted with her studies and believes that he is also in love with her. Then, the last quarter of the school year ended, they both have the same average. Afterwards, the parents of Zoe (Anne Curtis) donated a building for the school which made her the valedictorian of the class. It made Aica (Cristine Reyes) fuming with anger, while having a dinner both of them exchanged some hurtful words. It ended their friendship. After 10 years, both of them became successful in their own ways. Their paths will cross again because of the high school reunion, the war begins.

This movie is lightweight compare to their previous movies such as No Other Woman. Anne Curtis was good on the movie. She portrayed the character easily. She is so cute even she gained 200 plus lbs. hehe On the other hand, Sam Milby is a surprisingly funny with his bisayan accent. Hahaha who thought it would be coming. Moreover, Cristine Reyes was too good (too mabait) on the movie. I think being maldita will suit her most than being the damsel in distress. Hehe

The Verdict: 3.4 out of 5 stars.

How about you? Did you enjoy it? Share your thoughts! XD

Lately, I have been spending most of my time on a movie house. I can’t help not to watch those movies that caught my attention. One of those is “Talk Back and You’re Dead”. It is a story from Wattpad by Alesana Marie that turned to a book and now a movie.

Well, at first I did not expect anything. I thought it would be too corny for my taste but it was not. It was funny, romantic and has a little bit of action. The story started with the two cute chubby kiddos making a promise with each other. Fast forward to the present, Miracle Samantha Perez (Nadine Lustre) confronted Timothy Odelle Pendleto aka TOP (James Reid) to help her friend which everyone saw and took some videos. Then, they posted it on social media. The next day, the lucky 13, the gang headed by Top, was looking for her. The rest of the story should be watched on the movie theatre!

James Reid is so hot! I can’t help to be ‘kilig’ when he is saying the romantic lines. Arg! I think I am not the only one who is feeling those kilig vibes because seriously some of the girls on the movie house are shouting because they can’t contain their kilig. Hahaha It was a feel good movie. I think some of the parts are not explained well just like the amnesia of Samantha and how TOP became blind at the end. Well, that explains why they have a short teaser on the last part of the movie. Afterwards, “Never Talk Back to A Gangter” was flashed on the screen. Another movie for both of them! I can’t wait. I conclude, the missing parts of the movie will be shown on the next one, I hope!

Here's the trailer:

The Verdict: 3.8 stars out of 5 stars 

What does it mean to be a hero for you? For each person, the idea of being a hero can change. But heroism doesn’t always involve having to risk your life for your country. Sometimes, it springs from the simplest forms of kindness and ingenuity! Buti na lang, marami niyan ang mga Pinoy! (Good thing, Filipinos have heaps of that)

This month, as our nation commemorates heroes of all forms, let’s look at 3 Ayos reasons why even regular Pinoys (you, me, anyone!) deserve bragging rights to be called a modern hero:

 1. Filipinos are happy spirits. 

When was the last time you shared a hearty laugh with a friend? Believe it or not, that tender moment may have turned a day around. It truly is more fun in the Philippines where as a nation, we comprise of people who just loves to live from the lighter side of life. When the times get rough, you can expect someone to make you laugh with a joke, an advice, or even a song! Always remember that a smile is powerful. Wear it, feel good with it, and next thing you know, someone else is better because you shared a smile with them.

2. Filipinos are accommodating. 

Ever got hit by the “I just need someone to talk to” bug; where unloading some thoughts and feelings to a confidante is enough to make your feel better? You’re not alone in that. Fortunately, Filipinos are easily open to listen, even welcome you to their homes when you just need to feel like you’re not alone.

3. Filipinos give life a second chance.

Despite the tragedies that hit the country, it is part of the Filipino continue to rise up and try again. Sometimes, this even extends to how they treat the stuff they have lying around the house. Clothes, toys, and hobby items that Pinoys once loved, end up finding a renewed purpose when sold online. 

True enough, more and more Filipinos have embraced the idea of online buy and sell through AyosDito.ph, a free online classifieds website. In fact, during a 12-month period from May 2013 to May 2014, AyosDito.ph soared with a 177% increase in number of ads posted on its platform.

The ease and speed of transactions is among the advantages and benefits of online buying and selling, often surpassing the features of traditional commerce. It is even a common experience for an AyosDito seller to post an ad online one day, and have it sold within a day or two--or even within the same day!

With these simple ways of being a hero, you have no excuse to not make each day matter. Be a modern hero today. Smile, listen, and give your pre-loved items a second chance when you post free ads on AyosDito.ph. #

It is the time of the year for our yearly family tradition, Visita Iglesia. I love visiting Churches especially if it is my first time. As the elders said, you can make a wish for anything, if it is your first time to visit a church. Imagine if you have 7 or more churches to visit, it means more wishes to come or it can have a huge chance that it will come true for wishing the same thing. Moreover, holy week is for remembering Christ suffering on earth for all of us so repent and be save! We should always be sorry for your sins. Don't forget to thank God for all the blessings you have been receiving. God is good, all the time! 

Let's get going, shall we?

St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church - Gen. Trias, Cavite

Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Church - Gen. Trias, Cavite

Inside Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Church - it has a lot of religious paintings and a huge prayers on the center

St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church - Amadeo, Cavite

St. Jude Thaddeus Parish Church - Trece Martices City, Cavite

Inside St. Jude Thaddeus Parish Church - as they say, people who feels hopeless (walang pag-asa) gives a devotion to St. Jude to help them with their wishes or request. This is true. All you have to do is believe and have a little faith. :)

San Gregorio Magno Parish Church - Indang, Cavite

Inside San Gregorio Magno Parish Church - the interior is so majestic.

Immaculate Conception Church - Naic, Cavite

Our memorabilia from Pasinaya! with Instax Photos! :)

Sbarro and Tender Juicy (I think I was hungry that's why I took photos of this)

Hungry Rover Gastrobus (They were featured on Kris TV)

Jasper's House of Chicken too bad I did have the chance to eat here. I am hoping one day I could have a foodie adventure with food trucks. I remember this guy has a wonderful story. He stopped working and started some small businesses after his son had a fatal accident or sickness (either of the two). haha I just recalled it when I saw it on the venue. I watched that episode on KrisTV. haha What a brave father he is for sacrificing his high salary work for his time with his son. Bravo!

Inside the CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines)

Remember the post about The Great British Festival? They did the same dances. hehehe

Look at these graceful ballerinas

My sister

I am so proud with this shot! hahaha It feels like they are flying!

Curtain call. 

The dances usually ranges to 30 minutes. People are also allowed to take photos. Usually if you watch it on regular days, cameras nor camera phones are not allowed to be used during the show. You don't want any usherette to come near you tell you to stop doing it. It would be embarrassing. During Pasinaya, photographers are everywhere to take photos of the colorful event because it is open house. They are maximizing the once in a year opportunity that CCP has given to them to take photos, except if you got hired by CCP to cover the event. I hope you enjoyed my post. Till next time!
