If you are looking for an affordable hotel in Cagayan de Oro, come to Country Village Hotel. Country Village Hotel is located at Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City. One of the reasons why people love this place because of their swimming pool which also has affordable rates.

They only charge 100 pesos for swimming fee and you can now enjoy unlimited swimming experience. A lot of kids enjoy their swimming pool because it does not only have great pool filters but its safe and has slides. If you happen to visit here in the afternoon, you can find a lot of people taking swimming lessons.

Enjoying the Beach

We all had fun during my grandmother’s birthday celebration. The weather was so nice and the beach was just so awesome. My cousins and some relatives were there and we truly had a blast.

One of the things we enjoyed the most was riding on the ‘bottom-glass” boat. The glass part of the boat allowed us see the bottom part of the ocean. We were truly amazed upon seeing huge corals, fishes, start fishes, sea urchins and more. We also had the opportunity to feed the fishes and the experiences was just amazing. My grandmother wasn’t able to ride the bottom-glass boat because she was afraid of the waves.

My grandmother’s birthday celebration was truly a great day to enjoy, have fun and bond as a family. Can’t wait to have another fun day at the beach next year.

Going to the Beach

Today is my grandmother’s 81st birthday and we will be having a beach party. I took a leave from a 4 day seminar and decided to be there on my grandmother’s birthday because this only happens once in a lifetime. So today were heading to Medina, Misamis Oriental a 4 hour ride from Cagayan de Oro City. Hope it’s going to be a lot of fun. I will post the details tomorrow….

A Visit to Hong Kong Disneyland

My mother-in law will be traveling to HongKong tomorrow. She will be touring around Hong Kong Disneyland. I was so excited for her while she’s packing up her things today; it makes me wanna go with her too… (ha.ha.) Actually, I have never been to Hong Kong Disneyland and this is one of the places I’d like to visit. It is very easy to visit Hong Kong nowadays because there are now affordable air fares as well as affordable travel promos. So, as early as today I am now planning of saving money for this trip.

Wondering about the photo above? This photo was not taken at Hong Kong Disneyland (as it was pretty obvious). Two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to visit “Trinoma,” one of the biggest mall in Manila. While inside the mall, we saw their very cute castle decoration with a caption “Hong Kong Disneyland”. Without delay, hubby and I posed beside the castle and imagined that we were in Hong Kong Disneyland. Anyway, I am hoping to have a photo at the real HK Disneyland soon.

Gifts From Malaysia

My cousin Love of “Lalaine’s World is here in the Philippines. She arrived last November 12 together with her husband and kids. Whenever she visits the Philippines, I am very excited because I always have “pasalubong” from her.

My first pasalubong (as seen on the photo above) is a curry powder and spices from Malaysia. I was curious about the spices (on the left side) because it looks very unique. These gifts are the ingredients for a chicken curry (Indian Style) dish. I am now excited to try this one. I’m sure my husband will love this because he loves spicy foods.

But not only that, she also gave me beauty products as my birthday gift. Wow! She is so thoughtful. My birthday is next week and this is my early birthday gift from her.

Thank you so much Ate Love for being so generous. God bless you always!

United Nations Day 2009

United Nations Day (UN Day) is observed annually worldwide on 24 October to commemorate the founding of the United Nations in October 1945. To celebrate UN Day 2009, our school (Little Evangel Christian School) planned to have a program wherein kids will be representing different countries of the world. I was tasked to prepare the entire flow of the program. Although we have done this activity many times already, I’m still having difficulty on what to with the program because I wanted to be unique and not the same with the UN Day last year.

The parents of our pupils are now excited with their kid’s costumes and their flags. Our UN Day is on October 24, 2009 (Saturday), 1:00 PM. Until now, I’m still thinking about my costume for this occasion. Anyway, I still have today to finalize everything…my costume, the program and etc.

P. Joe's Dinner

My husband and I went to Lim Ket Kai Center today because we were invited by our friend for a dinner treat at Green Haven Vegetarian Restaurant. It was our first time to be in that restaurant and the experience was nice.

When we are about to go home, we happen to pass by P. Joes Diner. This place was memorable to me because this is where we ate after my graduation in college, that was a long time ago. My boyfriend who is my husband now, was so thoughtful enough to treat me in that restaurant even though he wasn’t still earning that much before. I took a glance at the place and asked my husband, “When are you going to bring me in that place again?” He answered jokingly… “After your next graduation..!” Well, I guess I have to enroll myself for a Master’s degree then.

Shades of Green

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to visit Tagaytay City last week. It was my first time to visit the place and I enjoyed my visit there. I also thank God for the nice accommodation we had. We stayed at Christian Development Center located at Tagayatay Country Home 3. It was a nice place for conferences and retreats. The food was also superb! They serve healthy foods which is really good for the body.

One of the best things I enjoyed about the city was the place itself. Everywhere you see, you will always find the place lovely. Your eyes will be filled with shades of green showing you the real beauty of nature. The photo above is one of the photos I took during the travel. Noticed the green mountains, trees, grass and everything? Truly wonderful!

De Luxe Hotel Cagayan de Oro

De Luxe Hotel is located at Capt. Vicente Roa St., Cagayan de Oro City. This hotel is one of the most affordable hotels in Cagayan de Oro. I have been in this hotel for many times already because we usually hold our church services and school activities in one of their function rooms.

The hotel is very nice especially now that they have some major renovations. A lot of people who are getting married opt for this place because their buffet menu is very affordable. They also have friendly staff and workers. The waiters are passionate about their job.

The only thing that is not so good about this hotel is the location. It is located near the market area and the road is often noisy and congested.

Cagayan de Oro at Night

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:05:02 +0000

I took this photo while I was the the 6th floor of Dynasty Court hotel. It was a Saturday night and while on top I was fascinated with the beauty of the city. My niece Chloe who was with me that time asked me if I can point their house from there, because their house is just at the city center. I told her that their house was on the other side.

Saturday night in Cagayan de Oro City is one of the busiest night. People loves to go to bars, restaurants and most of all the famous “night cafe”. I miss hanging out in this city at night. Now that I am married, I just love to stay at home, watch TV and blog. I hope hubby and I will schedule one night just to enjoy the beauty of the city again. I hope next week will be fine.
