The Lobby - the place is artsy 

Checking out - Reception

Curtain mode -  the room is oh so bright

Look at the place, hahaha too much trash (Sorry for the not so neat post hahahaha)

The television

My friends were the one responsible for the reservation of this room. They surprised me with my bachelorette mean girls party last December here. It was a wholesome event. Hahaha The room was spacious. We have more space to play random games. It has a receiving arrive with sofas, mini kitchen, bathroom and of course! the bedroom. It is like a condominium with one bedroom that was the set up of our room. The photos provided was after the party (so it is a little untidy). The security of the hotel was strict so if you will have a surprise thingy with this hotel, don't forget to instruct them immediately. Hahaha

The location of the hotel is like a hidden gem in Makati. It took us a little hard to locate it. However, the hotel is surrounded with different restaurants and bars. If you are looking place for place to be drunk and you can't even go home. This a nice place to stay and chill the next day. 

I will rate this hotel with

★★★★☆

4 stars out of 5 stars

Monasterio de Tarlac 

Last year, we joined another pilgrimage in our church community. It was one of the far visita iglesia I have ever done but it was worth it as always. On the photo above, in Monasterio de Tarlac they have a replica of Rio's Christ Redeemer. No need to go far to have a photo like that one, just visit Tarlac.

Inside Monasterio de Tarlac, I am not sure if it is a chapel.

The view is breathtaking. =) Nature is LOVE.

I ❤ Monasterio de Tarlac signage

Our next stop, Our Lady of Manaog Church in Pangasinan

Candles -  as much as possible we light candles in every church

Our Lady of Manaog

It is open to public to touch or to hold the statue of Our Lady of Manaog. Everyone can have moment with it. Knee and touch and pray for your intentions.

St. Joseph the Patriarch Parish - Mapanda, Pangasinan

Inside the church

San Pedro y San Pedro Church - Calasiao, Pangasinan

I don't have a photo inside the church. I think we were on a hurry during those time.

St. John The Evangelist Cathedral - Dagupan, Pangasinan

Inside the church -  this the last stop for our station of the cross and we attended a mass.

It is a nice experience going to the different churches for station of the cross with our community or with our family. It feels like a renewal of faith. Getting to know yourself and a spiritual journey towards God. It feels good to know and to talk to people with their stories on how they are very thankful with God and how they have changed because of their faith. This holy week start your own tradition with your family by going to different churches and pray the station of the cross. As what they say, the family that prays together stays together. A little advise, don't forget to bring bottles of cold water, food and a few prayer books during the trip. Another one, plan it ahead of time. 

 List of Churches:

Ace water spa is a place to relax in the city. They have two branches: Quezon City and Pasig City. The one we visited was in Pasig City because it is the nearest for the down south peepz like us. Shout out to all the South peepz! Hahaha Anyways, we visited the place during my birthday (last May 2016 and yes this post is a backlog, stayed in my drafts for a few months). Thank you, Momma! Treat nya kami. Hihi 

We stayed for a night and it was a good choice than going home after a 4 hour water spa. We were really tired because I and my sister swam in their Olympic size pool. We were trying to practice our skills in the water.

Ta-da! My mom requested for additional mattress with free breakfast and they gave us 200php off for the 3rd guest for the water spa. It cost around 1600php ++ for the breakfast and mattress

Inside the room, it was a television, office table, a cabinet, safe and many more. 

The bathroom. However, no bathtub included for our room. 

The buffet.

I am really grateful for our overnight stay and with our 4 hour water spa session. It was one of the best interactive spa I ever visited. Almost all of the facilities in the spa area was one button away. I enjoyed pressing every single of it, trying the water massage. Inside the spa, no taking of photos, no slippers (use only the provided by Ace Water Spa), wear the correct swimwear and locker will be provided. My fave part of the water spa will be the hot herbal pool where you can deep your body and feel the heat of the water. relaxingggg It has 4 different temperature and aroma such as Jasmine, Lavander, Mint and Volcano something. lol Then, deep yourself to the cold water after soaking to the herbal pool. So don't hurry yourselves, you will be shock for sure. haha lamig bhe!

They also have sauna room, Olympic size swimming pool and many kinds of pool inside the spa area. I and my sister tried everything inside the spa. They are also really strict with the rules and regulations. I suggest to be obedient. They have people watching over everyone. They also have a rental service, just in case you don't have a rashguard, cycling shorts or maybe trunks hahaha I prefer buy your own, there are shops near the establishment.

For the breakfast buffet, it was good. They have many varieties of food to choose from. I ate a lot too. hahaha Cheat month, birthday month. lolz. Overall, I am satisfied. Will I visit them again? Yes, I will!

I will rate them as 4.8 stars

Here is the front of the building. From afar, we can see the face of Hello Kitty. It is hypnotizing us. hahaha The kiddos in our tourist bus were so excited too.

This is the map of Hello Kitty Island. It has three floors of cuteness and everything Hello Kitty.

Evolution of Hello Kitty

This is the Cafe. Unfortunately, we do not have enough time to dine and unwind. huhu

Before exiting, the required place to visit and buy some souvenirs. 

I bought myself a cellphone case and stuffs for my cousins.

The place is so cute. It is really for Hello Kitty fans but if you are not a fan. You can skip this place. There are more interesting place in Jeju Island too. Especially, if you are a guy, only your girlfriend  or sister will have fun and will enjoy posing here and there. The only part I did not enjoy was the rooftop. The facilities on the rooftop such as the signage was ruined and not maintained properly. However, I am glad with my few hours of roaming around the area. It was educating and artsy. You will realize hype of this character was astonishing. It reached around the world and every decade will always be a successful one. With Sanrio characters, it feels like I am a kid again. In addition, I suggest to add more interactive activities inside the area.

If I will rate this place? I will give it a 4 stars out of 5 stars.
