Acuatico Weekend

Me and my friends have long been waiting for this quick getaway to Acuatico. We made our reservation last November 2012 as the resort is fully booked at most times during weekends. 

Acuatico Beach Resort is located 140 km (87miles) south of Manila and lies on a brief stretch of Laiya’s famous 4-km beach in San Juan, Batangas, one of the Philippines’ most popular vacation destinations. 

Roughly about a three-hour drive from Manila, it is the only exclusive luxury resort of its kind in Laiya with fully furnished Balinese-inspired modern villas and rooms that can accommodate a maximum number of 70 guests. 

We arrived at 11am and we were allowed to use the hotel facilities. The kids immediately took a dip in the swimming pool. We decided to have buffet lunch at the resort.  After which , we hit the beach but it was scorching hot so we went back to the pool. As expected , my kids are still hyper so we went to the beach around 4pm. The waves are big so I decided to just let them stay at the beachfront playing with sand castles. We all love the unlimited coffee and tea. I personally like their service as well. The staff are polite and attentive to the guests needs. 

The next day , we woke up early for breakfast and of course, swim right after. Bitin!  We should hav booked 3d/2n for this getaway. The resort also has a playroom which the kids enjoyed too . We took this time to have our photo shoot while the kids are in the playroom. We will definitely comeback soon! 

Green Smoothies

I think I am starting to gain weight already from eating too much even after dinner.  You know how hard it is to resist food, especially home cooked ones? Oh well, I better start doing some regular exercise and a healthier diet too. Last week, my friend gave me some juicing recipes and even shared with me a video about the benefits of green smoothies. I am not really into eating veggies, but now it is on my top list. I will start with making them into smoothies , i think that would be the best way for me . Main ingredients would include kale , spinach, banana and fresh mint leaves. Watch the video and see it for yourself.

Videoke time with my girls

Priceless moment with my girl friends! We all needed this break after quite a long time. Love them! 

Shopping for Perfume Oils

Last December , I received a very nice gft from a friend, a diffuser with a very relaxing perfume oil that is so perfect for me. The scent is not at all irritating as it has the right amount of lavender in it. Perfume oils can really liven up the mood in every room. A relaxing , calming scent is perfect for your bedroom especially at night when you are so tired from all the work. Now I am excited to shop for perfume oils that I can use at our living room too . I will definitely be going to get a different scent. If you are shopping for relaxing and calming scents, check perfume oils here. You will surely love their products.

Drug Detox Program

Last week, I heard a surprising news from my Aunt that one of our relatives would need a treatment from drug addiction. Thankfully, he was is not at his worst condition yet and we can all do a lot of help for him. He will undergo a drug detox program for a few months but there will be moments when he will be allowed to meet his family for moral and emotional support. I know that he will be in good hands and he can surpass this phase in his life. He has a supportive family who are so willing to help him in this journey. I wish him all the best and I am hoping I can visit him too in the future.
