Well, I’ve been looking at Manila Girl’s blog and happened to spot this resort at Batangas called Valentino Resort and Spa..checked their website, clicked on their rates first because I know there are a lot of beautiful places but most aren’t really budget-friendly.. I felt so alive when I saw that their deluxe rooms would only cost us P1750(price depends by season) with free breakfast for two!Galing no?hehe!
They have three pools, one’s a kiddie pool and a Jacuzzi. Around the pools are cabanas which you can rent too..or not, they’re really not strict about you getting your butt on it.
We also had fun at the bridge..I was jumping on it and Mimi went crumbling around.=p
Norwin and charrie.=)
You can hold small and big gatherings here..their pavillon is simple but pleasing. My sister is dying to have her debut here after seeing the pics..better pass your subjects first before telling nanay and tatay your plans, sis!hahah!
By the way, they offer spa services and access to their gym. A restaurant is located nearby their information center and the menu is provided in every room. For the free breakfast, the food is just ok but nothing to rave about..
Here's a shot inside the deluxe room, for P1750, I couldn't complain much..it has a small tv, a good bathroom and a good working aircon.
Some other pics..
I'd like you guys to meet roby
P.S.- thanks to norwin and charrie for being with us in this trip...thanks talaga!we had fun with you guys! And syempre kay MIMI.=) Super thank you,Masaya ko kasi Masaya ka din.hehe..nalungkot nga ko nung naghiwalay na tayo sa lrt.=(

Well, I never thought that my Best Friends Forever would be my Best Foodie Friends too..For all these years that we’ve shared common things together, the exceptional and the only reason of our fights is food.=) So tonight we really had a blast of fun at The Ultimate Taste Test 4.0 in cooperation with San Miguel Corporation and Our Awesome Planet!
Also, we got the chance to be a food critic tonight but we chose to crumble over the food stalls until we get bloated for what we call the “good things this night has to offer.” I know I’m so P.G. but what can I do? This is me. But even though my Friend Laisa is the only one serious about the paper critics, the good thing for me naman is that I now knew where I could find great foodies at great prices because I had all their brochures and marketing ads!
Here’s sharing with you some of the stalls we have encountered:
Hero sausages- I’m already seeing this product at the malls but never buy it..I’ve tasted maybe 4-5 bits and I think it’s good..average.
Maison de Valere’s Chicken Liver Pate’ – This is a hit for me! It goes well with the garlic bread slices..I gave it a perfect 5 in the ratings..
ManilaQ – I had their complete taste platter.. I love the siomai and gyoza! I remember that we never lined for this..and that’s how we learned that for each stall, it’s not really bad na sumingit.=) easy food!
Sakae Sushi- one of my favourites! I’ll definitely try their eat-all-you can at moa.
Muscovy Duck Ham – “Sweet”. That’s all I can remember
Empanada Avenue – full-stuffed empanada! I love empanadas! Haven’t you noticed that they were really happy in this picture?
Sodastream – Sodas with less sugar..And they had this product that turns water into softdrinks..cool!
The Fruit Garden- nah,just took a photo of their stall.. I’m not into jams.=)
Happy Green- I love their dips and their lemongrass tea!
The other products that are worth buying and so much satisfying are the CAMBELI sweets, Divine desserts, Dulcelin Gourmet’s Angus Short Rib Steak,Crave Burgers, Pellegrino's,Goodles and Qasa 61. I never had the chance to take more pictures because I was aiming to taste them all and I guess I didn’t failed..Yipee! so happy!
There were also performers from The Comedy Cartel and since we were too busy all I can remember is that we should be proud that Mayor Binay won the vice-president position because they were comparing him to Obama..”Sabi nila meron na daw tayong first BLACK VICE-PRESIDENT.”hehe.
Belly Dancers were present too!
Our Special guest for tonight: Dawn Quinto!
Truly, I have enjoyed this night with my BFFs. Imagine paying P230 pesos and in exchange is an awesome experience!
Cheers Japaneras!
Here’s me and my friends with the person I look up to with this kind of trip..=)
Let's Live it The japanera Way!
