When in Zambales - Villa Janella Resort and Pundaquit Beach at San Antonio

A few weeks before my final exams, my family decided to go for an overnight trip to Zambales. I decided to go despite my exams because my parents will be bringing Zack with them for sure. My sisters were the ones who searched for a resort but my dad made it clear to stay away from the crowded beaches of Subic and Olongapo. Thus, we settled with Pundaquit Beach at San Antonio instead. I was actually at Zambales a few weeks prior our trip for a field trip, but I didn't get to swim so I was excited for this trip.

Mountains + sea = best view!!!

Capones and Camara Islands can be seen from the beach

Villa Janella Resort

Enjoy tuna+rice anytime, anywhere with new 555 Tuna Rice

During school days, I spend all day outside and you could say that I am a fast food dependent. It's the easiest, most convenient, and cheapest meal I could get. But I realized that nothing beats home cooked meals, like adobo. Imagine my delight when Century Pacific Food, Inc., one of the leading food manufacturing companies in the country today, introduced a deliciously innovative addition to its popular 555 Tuna product line: the 555 Tuna Rice!

New 555 Tuna Rice comes in three delicious varieties: Tuna Rice Afritada, Tuna Rice Adobo, and Tuna Rice Sisig, each one capturing the essence and flavours of real home cooking.

When in Talisay, Batangas - Club Balai Isabel

My family and I rarely go south to travel. As my parents are from Nueva Ecija and we currently reside in Bulacan, they prefer places which they are familiar with. Honestly, it feels like we're going outside of our comfort zone once we go beyond Alabang to explore roads we've never encountered. But I think I finally found a resort in the south that is worth visiting and is worth braving the EDSA for.

Club Balai Isabel - A true haven in the south

Club Balai Isabel is definitely not a place new to my ears. I know it as a popular destination for weddings and vacations. Remember Oyo Boy Sotto and Kristine Hermosa's magical wedding? But my visit last week gave me a bigger and better perspective of what Club Balai Isabel has to offer and that is a place boasting a choice of adventure or relaxation - both coming with a beautiful view of the Taal Lake and Volcano.

Best view in town...

...and you may enjoy it from this nice spot! Perfect for weddings don't you think?
