Welcome to Space wars at Victoria Court!

For Star Wars fans, anything linked to this is the BOMB!

I have friends who would talk endlessly about star wars like there is no tomorrow so when I told them about Victoria Court's newest and most innovative suite they went off the roof.

Space Wars is a sci-fi inspired, hi-tech party suite that is completely designed front the ground up to feature a stunning spacecraft interior that is definitely instagram worthy.

 

  

From the spaceship cockpit with light switches to its custom designed infinity floor to the costumes and weapons that are readily available for its guests to fully be in the zone to play your favorite star wars character or re-enact that favorite scene it is available here.

 I definitely had my Jedi moment here with some of my blogger friends.

Its a 100 sqm floor area with innovative and superior hotel amenities that comes with a private garage that can be converted into a buffet and cocktail area for parties. Imagine having a star wars party here? It would definitely epic!

Speaking of the buffet, this also comes with a delightful array of space wars inspired menu options like the dark side burger, imperial pasta, trooper onigiri, space wars wrap, panatrooper and cocktails like the Jar Jar Drinks that compliments the whole experience in staying.

They also have other themed rooms like the Asgard Room for those who want to be transported to Thor's world and Christian Grey's suite complete with the Red Room of pain experience. And I've seen both rooms, and I love the Asgard because of something I will share to you on my vlog (to be uploaded soon!)

So for a truly out of this world experience, you can book the room by contacting Victoria Court through 0917-VCSERVE (0917-8273783) or you can send them an email at serve@victoriacourt.biz

You can also check out Victoria Court through their social media sites on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!

Ghost Walk at Intramuros

If you guys know I am really interested in paranormal activities so when given the chance - I will take that chance!

And what better way to experience that is definitely in the walled city of Intramuros! The Ghost Walk/Tour was prepared by the Center for Paranormal Studies. And to be honest it was not my first time to do this with them since I was able to experience it before on a real house that has a lot of paranormal activities going on.

We basically went all over Intramuros and had a tour guide talk about all the historical facts that happened in the walled city.

The building you see on the picture above is the only structure in Intramuros that has not been renovated. I forgot the name of the structure but I remembered a specific incident with it while we were on tour. I remember feeling quite weak being near the building.

We also went to the Manila Cathedral. Well outside though. And I just liked looking at the architectural structures of buildings in Intramuros. It has that old feel that you might feel that you are transported to another era.

I actually got home really late because of the tour. But it was lots of fun. You can avail of this tour with your friends so make sure to contact Center for Paranormal Studies so they can give you a proper schedule.

The only down side in the tour is that if you are in a very large group you might be able to experience a lot because you might be able to hear the tour guide well.

So I do have to go now thank you for reading! Make sure to check out Center for Paranormal Studies to know more about their tours and also future activities that they have. 

HOW TO: Get to Boboy's Iniwow!

I know most of you will ask WHERE IS BOBOY'S INIWOW LOCATED? (kelangan ganun para intense lol)

So here are some ways you can get to Boboy's Iniwow for the travelling foodie.

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM QUEZON CITY: 

OPTION 1: I suggest you ride the Jeep with the signage Rosario/Citi bank/ De Castro. Make sure to tell the driver to drop you off at De Castro or to Jenny's. Next is to ride a G Liner or RRCG Bus with the signage TAYTAY/CAINTA. Tell the conductor to drop you off Brookside, the drop off point is exactly in front of CK Square. 

OPTION 2: From Aurora Blvd, ride the jeep with the signage JUNCTION. Make sure to ask the driver to drop you off at Junction then just walk to CK Square. 

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM ORTIGAS: 

Ride the same RRCG or G Liner Bus as mentioned earlier and make sure to be dropped off at Brookside. 

From what I remember the same RRCG Bus passes by Greenhills center and its route is going to Quiapo so if you are from Manila make sure to remember that. 

Now I have to eat because of all the food I see in front of my computer is making me hungry. 

I hope this post is helpful! Make sure to leave a comment if you have more options to go to CK Square. 

Much Love!

TINAPAYAN FESTIVAL, House of Breads – Speaks of Real Bread Flavor and No Other

There are only a few small businesses that turn into something near to an institution in a community after of years being in the business. I remember when we had our own small family business of an eatery that almost everyone in our neighborhood knows.

Our 'claim to fame' is basically what my mom cooks - from Adobo to even fried chicken everything gets sold out immediately. It wasn't until the late 1990s that my mama and papa decided to close it down because they can't manage it anymore.

And whenever I find these kinds of businesses I am so thrilled because it really takes a lot of hard work not just from the staff but also the owners to keep it that way! And for Tinapayan Festival: House of Breads, bringing that value and importance of bread to the public is what makes them well known.

Tinapayan Festival's Ensaymada

Hey guys! If you are a Filipino, you would probably know that every time we visit a friend or relative this is probably the most common bread that is being served to us - The Ensaymada. It was actually told that is a bread creation from the Spaniards. 

Ermita Hotel Tours

One of the things my relatives do is they like to do staycations. I like to do it too but not too much because I prefer to stay at home at time. 

But I had a chance to check out some of the hotels in Ermita after we went to the event EMBOA hosted. 

We were able to tour 2 hotels so I will show you these for today. I might do a hotel review, but that would be in the future. So expect that this will be an introduction. 

This is especially great if you are staying in the Ermita, Manila area so I might give you some tips. 

The first hotel we checked out is Miramar Hotel. As being an art deco hotel this actually was built during 1930's but was only re-established around 2000s. It is situated within the Roxas Boulevard area so expect that the rate in this area is quite higher than other hotels since Roxas Boulevard is one of the main roads here in Manila. 

The whole hotel has a vintage feel to it. And since it was built during the 1930's it has small hallways and boutique style of setting. 

\

 

For me I don't find this hotel suitable for me since if I am staying in the city I would prefer something that is in the middle of the city. This is actually more suitable to those that are staying for business. 

They do have a spa suite which you can use for sparty or a getaway for you and your partner. 

The second hotel we went to is Hotel Kimberly. 

The facade of the hotel is actually very clean and more like a condominium but don't let that fool you. The lobby is really spacious and each floor has wifi access. 

There are actually different rooms that they provide here at a more affordable rates. 

Compared to Miramar Hotel, I actually like this hotel more because it is near a mall and basically everything I need. And one thing I like about this hotel is that they have cheaper rates so if you are staying with your friends your wallet won't burn you. 

You can check out Miramar Hotel and Hotel Kimberly on Facebook for their rates. 

I will do another post on the individual hotels so make sure to check back. 

Much Love!

EMBOA Gives back this Christmas Season.

Christmas is a season for giving and that is what Ermita Manila Business Owners Association or EMBOA did last week at the Remedios Circle park 

They had a gift giving activity last week that an estimated 500 kids ages 7 to  12 from 16 barangas were given gift bags and were also treated to some performances such as a Chrismas carol and performances from the students from Philippine Womens University and Unibersidad de Manila. 

EMBOA is also one of the organizations that have led projects in the area such as Massive Clean up drives to make Ermita Manila go back to its bustling beauty it had before. 

Hoping for more great projects from this organizations! 

Much Love!

Ang Sarap! Philippine Food Festival

Last December 8, I was one of the very few people that was invited to witness Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement's event which is the Philippine Food Festival. 

This is a culminating activity in which they recognize Filipino individuals and brands that have contributed in making Philippine cuisine to be one of the most sought after not just Filipinos but by foreigners as well. 

The event took place at the old Senate Hall of the National Museum which brought me to my younger years when me and my family used to go at the National Museum. 

The invited were treated to different food from around the Philippines by some of the concessionaires that participated like Apag Marangle, Tinapayan Festival and Victoria's which gave samples of their most notable products. 

One of the attendees was its newest member, Ms. Shalani Soledad which also enjoyed some bread from Tinapayan Festival and the other concessionaires.

The event was truly awesome because its not just a celebration of food that occurred but also a celebration to the people that made Filipino food as the best not just here but to the world. 

Much Love!

Midnight Hunger Pains

I like to write when it is about twelve midnight onward. And when I get in the mood it won't stop until my tummy goes rumbling like a broken radiator - seriously it sounds like that after a few hours of continuous writing.

And thankfully I have this in our pantry - Potato bread from Tinapayan Festival! 

It is basically an ensaymada without the messy top. Its moist, sweet, fluffy and did I say sweet? 

Although its name is potato bread, I don't think there is any real potatoes, but maybe some potato flour. 

I am merely a hungry foodie that did a complete rampage on our pantry so please don't think that I am making a sensible point right now. 

And now my tummy is filled again I am ready to work! 

Honestly, do you guys get hungry while doing something for a long time? Let me know on the comment section! and let me know what you like to munch on when you get hungry. 

Much love!
