A Bit of Paradise In A Place Called Alegre  

Posted by soreal



Hi everyone! I have a really good excuse for not being able to write sooner. Management had a training/outing last Saturday and Sunday at Alegre Beach Resort. The training was interesting yet very tiring because we went straight to the resort right after work so everyone was awake for 24 hours grrr. The Resort however is a totally wonderful place and I had the best bubble bath experience in my entire life..so far.

Alegre is a tranquil resort in the North pat of Cebu. It’s EXPENSIVE but worth every Php. They have the most accommodating and hospitable staff. When we got there we were greeted with friendly smiles and a table of freshly made juice awaited us; just the thing we needed after a 2 hour travel. We wanted to go check out our rooms right away but Momi Lai wanted to get the training started so we can have all the free time in the world after.

So where do I start bragging? Well let’s start off with lunch then. The buffet lunch was super amazing! As a matter of fact, every meal is amazing in Alegre. Everything’s fresh, cooked and served at its best (sigh). All my other buffet eat-till-u-drop experiences are a far cry from what they offer. Their cook in their can seriously do some major damage to anyone’s diet.

Now let’s move on to another brag-worthy morsel…the rooms. The moment we opened the door, we gawked in awe at 2 huge beds, large sofa, big tv, DVD player, mini ref and a heavenly bathroom. I’ve never been in such a really big bathroom before. It’s like stepping into your very own getaway to a place where you can get lost in relaxation. They have cute customized bottles labeled with whatever is inside it like shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, lotion, etc. Oh boy, I really took advantage of the bobble bath hihi The pillows are as soft as clouds, not that I’ve hugged clouds before though. The room is like a beautiful dream in its self and I wanted to keep it so much, everyone felt the same way.

Wait, I’m not done bragging. Just a few stairs down is The Cliff, Alegre’s tiny bar at the beach. To say it’s beautiful is an understatement. They have a spa hut, hammocks, a cabana, beach beds and some smoked colored tables and chairs. The beach when we got there was so inviting, it was calling us but I ignored it coz I was too busy noticing every other wonderful detail. The only down side is that the sand although it’s white is not really all that refined and powdery so I don’t recommend playing beach volley.

Alegre sure knows how to tickle anyone’s fancy. It is one of the favorite places of our site director and now its one of my favorites too.

Guiltless Getaway  

Posted by soreal

Is work stressing you out and you just want to spend a nice, lovely vacation somewhere private where you can say hello to serenity or maybe just go out and do something crazy? I feel this way sometimes, well I suppose everyone does. To relax, unwind and not feel restricted have become part of people’s needs; I know its part of mine. To be able to get out and do whatever we want is so liberating. It makes us feel free and empowered.

Armed with the desire to visit places that I’ve never been to like Negril Jamaica, I tried searching online for travel packages with all inclusive resorts. I saw places that I have only seen in movies and photo shoots so far. I also came across adult vacations; now that sounds interestingly hot! All these are happening at world famous Hedonism resorts. I love the idea of a wild, guilt-fee vacation, don’t you?

Cheap Hotels in Asia  

Posted by soreal

Ideally when we go on a vacation, we plan everything ahead of time and make the necessary arrangements days before the actual take off. But let’s face it; unexpected things happen in real life that prevents us from being prepared. I personally am a last minute person and I like to do everything at short notice. This doesn’t mean that people like me miss out in all the good stuff though like freebies and reasonable hotel rates. If you unexpectedly find yourself going on a trip to Hong Kong to meet up a potential client for your Business, there are Cheap Hong Kong Hotels that offer reasonable rates.

Want to visit the Great Wall of China and have no idea where to stay? Choose from a number of Cheap China Hotels. There are so many wonderful places to take your family to. Why not add some historical spice into your honeymoon by visiting the Forbidden City? You can even go to The Temple of Heaven after but not before getting yourself a great deal at Cheap Beijing Hotels.

The place I personally want to go to is Shanghai, I want to visit the Yuyuan Garden and take as must pictures of myself while I’m there. I will check out the list of Cheap Shanghai Hotels so I will still have money for more important activities like shopping.

Wena's Back  

Posted by soreal

I really missed my friend Wena, she's been on vacation for 2 weeks and i'm glad shes back. It just wasn't the same opening the locker we both share and not find her bag. I love sharing a locker with her even if it means that it's amazingly cluttered with both ours stuff; I wouldn't want it any other way. She knows how gaga I am over poncho these days so she got me one when she was in Baguio (don't I look like a jungle princess or what lolz). Yeah I keep ranting about how things between us are just very different compared to when we were both single and I keep telling her that i'm always here, that nothing much changed really. (sigh) Who am I kidding? Everything has changed.
Back then, the moment we decide on going to a destination, we go right away without much planning hehe we just go armed with cash and our mischievous buns. Now there is just this complicated process of telling dada where I want to go and then checking if it'll fit both our schedules (bummer). Don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining that I have dada. I mean i'm glad I have him. Most girls live their lives hoping to find some guy as amazing as him only to end up with sadist pigs. I love dada, I do. He disses his friends just so he can always be with me eventhough I tell him it's ok to spend some time with them. Does that mean I have to do that to my friends too?
(sigh)...
