If There's A Will, There's A Way

For Heroes in Baguio City they have just justified what is the meaning of this line "If There's A Will, There's A Way". No matter how bad the weather is,  if you are willing to do something for the good of the many "yes" you can really do it. Hundreds of heroes made it possible as Pusong Pinoy held their first ever run for a cause called the PUSONG PINOY HEROES' RUN happened last August 28, 2011 at Burnham Park.

Runners from all walks of life shows their support, conquers the typhoon with smiles and pride. The event started at 5:00 am, the coldest morning I've experienced, strong winds, fogs and heavy rain kisses the streets of Baguio pushes the runners and organizers to go away to leave the place, but everyone are all geared up with courage to run for a good cause.

Through the help of so many heroes and superheroes  across the globe, and of course with the full effort and force of  Baguio Benguet Team headed by: Team Leaders Ning Doble, Adi Lappao, Byd Nalibsan Bawayan, Jenny Soriano Oliva, Majoy Toyaoan-Lumiwes and  Joanne Suyam and hundreds of volunteers made it possible for every hero who wants to make a difference. And also through the big help of COOL CITY Baguio. 

City Team Leader, Team Leader and Vice Team Leader  from Hongkong and Manila were present cheering up their support as well.  

After the HEROES' Run,  although some registrants weren't able to claim their breakfast so the PP Superheroes and the Dawn to Dusk HEROES went to the Baguio General Hospital to give them to the sick. Pusong Pinoy were able to feed hundreds of patients in one day.

BenMore Four Casks Scotch Whisky is the newest whisky that is produced and distilled in Scotland. It is a deluxe Scotch whisky which puts attention to details. It is matured in four different types of oak casks to achieve depth and complexity to match the standards of whisky drinkers, to give the harmony between mellow tastes and scotch aroma, including malt and peat aroma with the hint of smokiness and most importantly, to give you an even smoother Scotch whisky experience.

There are five ways to drink BenMore:

Straight or on the rocks
With water
With iced tea
With cola
With soda/ tonic

I mixed it with cola and added some ice, Oh darn good, the taste is awesome! my ten taste buds reacted and wanted for some more. You can really feel the smoothness and the crisp - Perfect! and again perfect for all occasions. Why buying a highly commercialized Rum/brandy wherein you can now afford to buy Whisky anytime, you can have the BenMore Four Casks Scotch Whisky for only P340.00 or less.

Gulp Club Bar and Restaurant

Last August 13, (Saturday night) My Fiends MC and EDES Cootauco had their Birthday bash together at GULP CLUB in Panay Avenue, Quezon City, they invited some friends from call center Industry ( MC's friends) and school friends (EDES's friends) and closed ones like us meaning I was lucky then.

When I got the invites via FB I thought the restobar is just like a typical restobar with music box all around or just like a similar public place-like bar for party goers. Although the place really designed for party and drinking yuppies. I was wrong the place offers more than that and oh! They have large screen outside wow wow.

The two celebrants rented one VIP area with 2 Billiard tables and 1 KTV room, with sides table for the punch and drinks. Take note It has couches for lazy visitors like us,  pretty good place isn't it?. I think the venue can still house for about a hundred of guests. 


For smokers don't  worry guys, you can still have your cigars inside, it has exhaust fan so nothing to worry about the smokes it goes directly to the fan, I tried but I think it works :).  The place have also other type of VIP room for people who feels like really really party with DJ's around.

Bed and Breakfast

What comes to your mind when you hear Tagaytay? Maybe the View of Taal Volcano and lake, The Peoples Park, Tagaytay Highland, Señoritas, Pineapple and etc and etc., well for me it's all about Bed and Breakfast.

 In the rolling hills with lush green and colorful flowery ornamental plants, far from the busy city, where birds and butterflies freely flies lies  the House and Garden of Sonya called Sonya's Garden Bed and Breakfast. A typical Filipino house offers only the best Filipino and Western food and serves organic rice and fresh farm fruits like mangoes, pineapple and a lot more.

 

Last year my friends and I visited the place and had our breakfast at 7, it was like my ordinary morning turns into fairytale having breakfast together with Peter Pan and friends in the middle of the Neverland Garden, Can you imagine that?

 "All the Bed and Breakfast cottages are named after herbs, which, like her garden, reflect Sonya’s love for aromatic things. Inspired by her simple country lifestyle, the Bed and Breakfast facility was born out of insistent pleas from guests to stay awhile longer in Sonya’s private sanctuary. In the short time that it has been open to the public, many have already vowed to return for a myriad of simple joys, like waking up to the smell of flowers, languishing in bed from last night’s soothing massage, contemplating in the undisturbed solitude that surrounds each cottage, relaxing by the charming bay windows that opens into a view of nature in its entire splendor, the warm hospitality of Sonya and her staff—and other delightful discoveries that has made a stay at the B&B a unique experience for every person."

Sonya's Garden not only offers good food but also a good stay, for those who are planning to escape and get lost from the noisy world for quite sometimes or for a day or two then Sonya's Garden Garden in Tagaytay is waiting for you. The place to relax, the place to replenish your tired body and soul.

Going home with big smile,  See you again Sonya's Garden
