I ♥ Venetian Hotel and Resort Macau 03/03/2013

Venetian Hotel and Resort Macau

If you wanted a piece of Italy, the deluxe hotel and casino in Macau may be the perfect destination.The Venetian Macau The Venetian Macau is the 40-story, $1.8 billion anchor for the 7 upcoming hotels to be constructed on the Cotai Strip. From Sands Macua we took the bus bound to Venetian Resort and it is FREE!!! 

We went there on a weekend so the crowds are denser. There were just too many people at the hotel. Of course, there were the usual gamblers, people on special organized tours, locals and people like us who were just following the crowd. After following the crowd for a good ten minutes, we finally arrived in the great hall and were greeted by a sweet pleasant voice.

Everywhere we look is a replica of Venice, canals and all. I was in awe seeing the painted “venetian” sky. It’s truly breathtaking and at first glance you’d think it’s the real deal. It was an astonishing architecture. The painting on wall and ceiling painting was pretty impressive and grand. I heard that some of the gondolas used here were imported from Italy. 

The water is as blue as the sky (reflection) and may even be better than the original canals in Venice and no pungent smell, too. I am very happy to see that I have actually been to where the Korean series Boys Over Flowers have filmed its Episode 14, the Venetian Macau. My wish came true in the exact way I wanted it or it to be like.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his mind

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou

I ♥ Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon 03/13/2011

  Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon. We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating.  There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautif
