After 1000 years, we were able to go to Luljetta Hanging Gardens and Spa in Antipolo.

After 100 years, I am now able to post this here.

Thankful that I was able to go there. Even more thankful for the busy days that I wasn't able to post this here sooner.

BWAHAHA. Madali ka lang pala i-commute, Antipolo!! Alam na this. Ano pa ba ibang pinupuntahan sa Antipolo maliban sa mga resorts?

From Aurora-Katipunan Fly-over (Obviously dun kayo sa baba) there are jeepneys that are Antipolo bound. You may alight at Antipolo Cathedral, Our Lady of Peace Good Voyage Shrine or Unciano Hospital (the closest) and ride a tricycle to Loreland Resort.

From the looks of it, Loreland Farm Resort is also a nice resort although we weren't able to go around the area.

Luljetta Hanging Gardens and Spa is inside Loreland.

Buti pa dito, may happily ever after.

This view will greet you the moment you reach Luljetta.

As we changed into our swim wear, we were given this bathrobe and a towel that we used while in the Hanging Gardens.

Just be cautious in going up and down the stairs.

Hydromassage Pool

Kind of reminds me of Ace Waterspa in Pasig.

Of all the amenities of Luljetta, this fish spa has got to be the one that I like the least. HAHAHA.

I've tried fish spas in Manila Ocean Park and at a Hotspring Resort in Laguna so I was thinking that I'll enjoy here too but there was something in the water (maitim kasi ganyan) that we didn't last longer than 5 minutes here

Then we went to the Infinity Pool area

The reason why we really wanted to go here is to experience their infinity pool. Makapag-infinity pool man lang kahit minsan.

According to their website, their infinity pool is "Overlooking Antipolo Mountains, Laguna Bay and Metro Manila"
Ganda ganda pls!!!

But it rained so hard that it was almost zero visibility in the area. So we placed our phones in the robe basket and just decided to enjoy the infinity pool without picture taking.

But there will be clear skies every after pouring rain. <3

Parang mga mata lang natin 'yan, pagkatapos natin umiyak we're able to see clearer. Naglilinis kasi 'yung langit diba pag umuulan. E tayo pag umiiyak, naglilinis din ng mga sama ng loob. No wonder that almost every after a good cry, we feel better... kahit namamagang mata pa ang kapalit. #hugot hahahahahaha

We left the infinity pool area to explore the rest of the area and found this sign.

You are worthy. Yes, you are worthy. We're all worthy.

This is also a good place to exchange stories with friends after using all the water amenities.

Heated Jacuzzi.

Yes. You are blessed.

I don't know what this pool is called but of all the pools, it's the one I like the least.

Pero maganda 'yung view kaya better check this out too. Baka naman magustuhan mo.

Sauna room at the back.

Although it's almost not visible, in this part of the hanging gardens, is Metro Manila's skyline.

We were walking towards the restaurant when I took this picture.

Soon, Palawan, soon!!! Papa-sexy muna ko. HAHAHAHA.

Fried Suman + Drinks are included in the package.

Never thought fried suman would taste this good. hehehe

Interior of the Restaurant

This is the infinity pool from above.

Eventhough I like the view from the infinity pool, this was my favorite pool.

And we went back to the infinity pool to swim more and wait til sunset.

I want to love 2015 more than I loved 2014. Claim lang ng claim! Heart heart <3 <3

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PAGBIGYAN NIYO NA KO MINSAN NIYO LANG NAMAN AKO MAKITA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Overall, Luljetta is a good get-away place that is not so away from Manila.

Ang maganda 'yung view, hindi pa malayo 'yung place, okay 'yung service at reasonable naman 'yung price.

Ahh, meron pala. We don't know if it's us who didn't get to see the bigger shower area pero isa lang 'yung cubicle sa locker area so medyo nakaka-hassle na nakapila pa dun. hehe. Pero ayun nga, sisirain mo ba 'yung araw mo? Hindi. Sarap naman ng, "Take me back, Luljetta!!!" Hehehe.

I love to bike whenever I get the chance to. Not only is it a great exercise, biking also relaxes me. But even if a bike was included in the things I wanted to have on a post I posted way back 2012, I never had the chance to look around and purchase one because of two things: 1) storage would be a problem. 2) I have no idea about bicycle brands.

Not being able to know which of the available products would be a good buy is one of the things that the campaign Taiwan Excellence is trying to solve.

Of the 56 Taiwanese brands that are entering the Philippine market, some are different brands of bicycles such as Strida, Tern Bicycles and Pacific Cycles.

Slidy Bike

I am also a potential buyer of this bike. Seryoso.

I like that it solves my first problem - storage. I bet you know how big most of the bikes we see here in the Philippines so it's a good thing that this bike is foldable and lightweight that storage even transporting this wouldn't be a problem. And since this is a recipient of the Seal of Excellence, buyers are assured that they're getting a worth it and a sturdy bike.

You might say that using a bike here in the Philippines is inconvenient but we should still point out the benefits of using a bike as a mode of transportation.

1. Healthy Mind and Healthy Body

- I know, right? Healthy body! Kaya nga, I bike whenever I get the chance to. It's a good cardiovascular exercise that is gentle to joints. Biking also improves and tone muscles. Leisure biking is actually relaxing.

2. Greener World

- Biking doesn't require gasoline therefore it emits no pollutants. Through biking, you're not only reducing your fats but also your carbon footprint. (Sige na nga. We're not only reducing OUR fats hahaha.)

3. Easier on the Pockets

- Since you're not anymore paying for fuel, you can lessen your transportation expenses and obviously, bike maintenance is cheaper compared to car maintenance.

This post is a part of the Taiwan Excellence campaign which commitment is to provide better products for us, Filipinos and one of the products they offer are innovative foldable bicyles from the above-mentioned brands.

My mother and I have different personalities (Sige na nga, pati physical appearance! HAHA). One of our differences is that she's very organized which is why she dislikes seeing my room because its state is everything she hates. But if you hate something, change it diba? For a lot of times, I left home with a messy room and came home to very clean room because she couldn't stand all the clutter. Proud pa ba talaga dapat ako nito? Basta I'm thankful for all the people who love cleaning and organizing. :))

Like myself, all of us have our own shortcomings that our mothers magically fulfill. Do you need one of these? Cook, nanny, nurse, doctor, teacher, janitor? Our mothers can easily change their roles into the person we need, don't they? And the reason why they can juggle all these responsibilities is their desire to give their family the best of the best. One component of that "best" are products they can purchase for their loved ones to have a wonderful and excellent life.

So in the search of the best products, it's a good thing that the Bureau of Foreign Trade of Taiwan (BOFT) and Taiwan External Trade Developtment Council (TAITRA) has launched the Taiwan Excellence Campaign (which I have already posted about here.) in the Philippines.

Just by looking if a certain product has a seal of excellence, Mothers can easily identify products that are of good quality which they can purchase without compromising their families health, safety and comfort.

To date, Taiwan Excellence carries 56 different brands (more than 175 products from brands like , Tatung, TECO, Cashido, Acer, ASUS, Transcend, MSI, Strida, Microlife, and Thermedic

etc. ) for home and living, communications technology, sports, transportation and personal care. Given that this campaign carries a wide variety of Taiwanese products, mothers would surely be able to find the products they need and want not only for their family but also for their selves as well.
