Razon's of Guagua
After watching Eclipse at Eastwood, we were craving for halo-halo and so we went to Razon's of Guagua- our favorite halo-halo stop. Theirs is simple but sumptuous. Less ingredients but tasteful and oh so creamy!
mouth-watering halo halo!

Noah enjoying too!
Zuni
Part 2 of Noah's birthday celebration.
After the relaxing massage at Island Spa. We headed at Zuni in Greenbelt 5 for dinner. There were few customers when we arrive since it was a weekday and almost 10pm already.
We were promptly assisted by their staff. We had a good impression on them. We also asked some details about the best wine for food pairing and the staff explained it very well. Two thumbs up!
We will definitely go back here!
Their complementary roll and butter
I had baked St. Peter's Fish Fillet Topped with Sauteed Prawns, Mushroom and Mozzarella.
In garlic -tomato ragout, served with fettuccine al borro and asparagus
Noah had Barbecued Baby Back Ribs.. (this is so perfect!)
Two Oceans Semillion Chardonnay
Grand Marnier Souffle for dessert!

Island Spa: An oasis in the midst of the city
First part of Noah's birthday celebration.
This was a surprise birthday gift.. few days before I have been looking for a good massage service for us since we've only tried some and want something new. And of course I want that something to be not so ordinary. Ive checked some blog sites and Island Spa was one of the top faves for it's good service yet reasonable price =) and so I made reservation for June 30th, holiday and Noah's birthday =)
After my work he picked me up thinking that we'll just have dinner at Zuni, but I made an alibi that we drop by Jupiter first since my friends were there somewhere. As we reached Island Spa, at first he was clueless until he realized that were going to have a massage! And so he smiled.... excitedly =)
I would say their over all service would be 10 out of 10 from the receptionist to their masseuse. They were all friendly, polite and accommodating.
For the facilities, it was clean and cozy, they have automated locker system, and I love the sauna, it was usual but I just had a good feeling afterwards =). One thing though which I noticed not suitable in the place were the flat screen tv's mounted on the wall of each rooms. It's not so relaxing to hear the tv programs from the other room while you're having that "moment".. The nature background sound alone would be a lot better.
Couple room =)

Amici =)
Amici was formerly known as Amici di Don Bosco.
Noah and I were craving for Italian, and so we headed at Amici in Atrium for dinner, missing their pasta also, this was a good time to re-unite! We had an Italian-seafood fest, each entree is below 300.00!
However, if I were to compare then and now, their pizza and pasta before was better.. =(
For appetizer, we had Mozzarella Fritto
Frutti Di Mare Pizza (mixed seafood)
For pasta we had Spaghetti White Vongole E Gamberetti
sauteed mixed seafood in olive oil
For the drink we had 1L of Tropicana Juice =)

Hotrocks. no frills just good food.
Whenever we pass by Libis, we always see this open-air steak house named Hotrocks which offers a not-so-costly steak. So before heading to Eastwood to watch a movie last night, we decided to have dinner and try-out their best seller.. Porterhouse Steak. As we entered the place we didn't know that they have an air conditioned area downstairs, so we stayed there instead. The place was almost packed, and 2 tables were available, lucky to get one!
Their wall design
Pacman's
Porterhouse (large cut) priced at P330.00. We had it cooked medium well.
Pork Liempo priced at P130.00
I like their steak sauce!
Mashed potato ROCKS!
Boracay 2010!
Summer Season Ender: Boracay!
The last time I went here was a couple of years ago. We frequently go here during the month of December and this was my first time to visit the place on a summer because I'm avoiding the seaweeds during this season! To compare, Boracay is better on December's because the water is cleaner and clearer.
It saddens me that the island was not as clean as before the last time I was here. There were some cracker and candy wrappers and chips' foil along the shore and in the beach as well =( . Well I hope that cleanliness will be maintained in one of our best known beaches in the country.
Our flight bound to Kalibo was at 4:35 pm.. so we'll be in the island before 8pm =)
After having dinner, had a fire dance picture!
Lunch at Astoria
Headed to the reef walking area
Reef walking is fun!!!!
Beach time!
Can't get over with fire dance!
Booze and Sisha at Club Paraw
I want to try kite boarding!
Enjoying the beach!
Banana Choco Peanut butter shake at Ariel's Point! Jonah's moved at the main road already =(
Morning coffee at Starbucks =)
