Hotels in Manila

-
Metro Manila has become one of the most popular travel destinations in Asia.  Tourists come here for various reasons.  Some would be here for a short stop before going to their real destination which is probably one of the small islands in the country, well, especially for the sun-worshippers.  Whatever is the reason for one's travel, finding a suitable accommodation is one of the things to consider.  Many factors should be considered also in finding a suitable accommodation.  One of the considerations is the budget you have allocated for the accommodation, be it budget or sky is the limit. And your choice of hotel should jive with your purpose of coming to Manila.  Personally, if it is a business trip then I would book at a hotel that serves breakfast or has included breakfast in the payment per room as it will save me time which I could use for preparing for the business meetings that I should be attending.  However, if my schedule is really liberal and I don't have any pressing meeting/conferences to attend, I would rather book at condominiums which rent out rooms for daily rates.  Condominium units can be rented for as low as $70 per night.  If you intend to stay longer then  you can even ask for discounted rates.  These condominium units are managed by property managers.  One of the advantages of renting a condo unit is you can do your own cooking if you prefer that because most of the condo units have complete kitchen and home facilities.  If you are meticulous about your food intake and don't want to eat at restos, then you can prepare your own food and buy your own provisions at the mall or grocery, especially if you really can take your sweet time around Manila.  You can also do your own laundry if you want to save laundry payment.   Now, if your schedule is really tight and you have no time to make your favorite salad/breakfast, or make your favorite drink then hotels with free breakfast and buffet meals will be the perfect answer for your busy lifestyle. Hotels in Manila range from economy hotels to suite hotels and of course the rate also is commensurate to their quality and standard.  So the next time you travel, plan your accommodation carefully and don't be too stingy that you will end up renting a room at a place that you will regret after.

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back whe...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
