I've eaten S&R pizzas before and knowing that S&R (grocery) is a membership shopping, it felt like I won't be able to eat this anymore unless a member treats me. Okay, exagge. Pwede naman magpa-member e, diba? But anyway, let me tell you one of the best pizzas in Quezon City.

*drumroll*

None other that S&R's pizza. S&R Pizza has a branch in Puregold, Cubao and no membership whatsoever is required.


A huge slice with drink costs P 99.00. (Combo)


Best dahil hindi lang mura, malaki pa at masarap!


Try the pizza yourself.

I say it's good and even the long lines and always full restaurant will say so too. 



Branches are in: (no membership required)

2nd Floor of Puregold, Cubao
and
1st Floor of Puregold Duty Free, Subic


Masarap 'yung sa Cubao pero mas masarap talaga 'yung nasa Subic. Mas malayo 'yan eh. :))

Already my fifth time in this Korean Grill at Malingap St. in Teacher's Village, Quezon City. 

Yep, just when I thought it couldn't get any better, it could. And, it did.

Now with an air conditioned room and more buffet food choices, Don-Day has managed to remain a budget friendly Korean restaurant priced at P 299.00/person for an unlimited pork slices and P 399.00/person for an unlimited pork and beef slices. How's that? Sounds like, "I have to go there ASAP." Right?

By the way, here are my previous visits at Don-Day:

1. May 2012 link: here.
2. June 2012 link: here.
3. September 2012 link: here.
4. July 2013 link: here. 

I accidentally lowered the pictures' resolution when I added the watermarks so...
They used to have this "carinderia" feels to it last 2012 and they've managed to make the interior more of that "restaurant" feel. I believe that this place was already renovated last July 2013. I just didn't notice it that much then.
Buffet area now have more choices.
And it shall begin again... my love for samgyeopsal!
They didn't have sesame oil that night so duenjang or soybean was enough.
Some of the choices in their buffet. No kimbap for that night but that rice cube with seaweed wrap was jjang (best). Kimchi rice, on the other hand, was obviously hot. I noticed that everything colored in orange was spicier than how I remembered them to be. Kimchi was intense! I got some for my samgyeopsal but I couldn't even bring myself to bite it. I don't know if I'm just not used to the spiciness of Korean food anymore or it was just way too spicy.
Sana may kamote. hehehe.


So this has been it.

Someone send me to Korea pls. :)))))) Send talaga. Hahaha.
Another Korean Eat-All-You can at Quezon City is Hwaroro Korean Grill at Scout Tobias link: here.

NOTE: WAG MASYADO SERYOSOHIN LALO 'YUNG MGA LINES NA MAY POTENTIAL MAKA-OFFEND. MEDYO KINAILANGAN KO KASI NG COPING MECHANISM NUNG UMPISA. ANTICIPATION GANYAN. :)))

We knew that we were going to a hot spring resort in Pansol and since there are a lot of resorts with "hot springs" in the area, we thought that we were heading to one of the "new" resorts. By the way, Pansol in Calamba, Laguna is considered the "Hot Spring Capital of the Philippines" The hot spring water is from Mt. Makiling. 

Laguna Hot Spring
Mineral Spring Water since 1946.

Mas mashonda pa sa Mudra ko. Sabi niya pa nga, dito raw sila dinadala ng mga Lola't Lolo ko nung bata pa sila pero lumilipat daw sila ng tita ko sa ibang resort na malapit kasi puro masho-shonda 'yung naliligo dito at hindi nga ko binigo ng Laguna Hot Spring. :)))) Halos puro masho-shonda nga.

Pero 'yun nga, someone's gotta do it. Bridge the generation gap. :))
'Yung mga pool kasi na mae-enjoy namin, hindi naman nila mae-enjoy at vice versa.
Pagkakita ko ng pool...

"ANMERON? LIPAT NA TAYO PLEASE. NOW NA. "

Basag na 'yung ibang tiles tapos pag titignan mo pa na ganyan 'yung nililiguan... Ugh sige, matutulog na lang ako.  Buti na lang may aircon 'yung ni-rent namin na room. Bawi bawi din sa tulog.
Mapapaatras ka KAPAG HINDI MO ALAM. :)) Wag tayong manatiling walang alam, guys. 


Habang kumakain kami ng agahan, nagsisimula na ko mag-"cope". Sabi ko sa sarili ko na hindi ako uuwing hindi ko nasusubukang maligo dyan at gusto ko malaman 'yung dahilan kung bakit dyan nila piniling mapunta kahit medyo marami samin ang nagp-protesta hehe.

"Mama, 1946? taon ng Philippine Indepence 'yun at medyo kakatapos lang ng World War II. Baka nga mamaya, may naliligo dito tas may bombahan saka barilan pa sa ibang lugar eh. Imagine ko na lang na bumalik ako sa 1946 para exciting."

"OMG. Para nga tayong bumalik sa World War II. I'm so excited. Ligo na tayooooo."

At nagbihis na nga ako panligo kasi "excited" ako. Please lang ha, wag kayong mag-OA kagaya ko. Hahahaha. 

Ayan naaaa.
Sabi ko pa nga, "Lublub for experience."

Bakit may bato? May isda pa. Huhuhuhu. Nakakaiyak.

Pero pagkatapos lang ng halos 10 minutes na pag-iinarte at nang makarating na ko sa gitna banda.

"OMG! HEAVEN."
hahahahahahaha

Naging masarap na sa paa pag inaapakan 'yung mga bato.
Naging masarap na liguan 'yung tubig kasi fresh.
Galing sa yuck naging ayoko na umahon pls. :)))


'Yung experience dito sa Laguna Hot Spring ay pinaghalong Ace Water Spa link: here at Fish Spa ng Manila Ocean Park link: here. Whole body na fish spa na nga, mas mura at siguradong mas malinis pa dahil flowing water. 'Yun nga lang, hindi kasi aesthetically appealing/pleasing 'yung pool lalo pag nasanay sa magandang resort na may maayos na tiles at hindi mukhang brown/putik 'yung tubig sa malayo. Pero aanhin mo 'yun, give love a chance. ANORAW?! 


At para sa masho-shonda (Sorry pooooooo), okay lang naman, hindi nakakailang na maki-stay dun kasama nila. (Sorry po ulit! Ang judgmental ko.)

Pwede din siguro ipa-renovate ng management 'yun kahit papaano. Maganda naman ang rooms saka shower at dressing areas nila, pool lang talaga ang deal breaker sa umpisa.
Note: HINDI PO SILA TILAPIA. Baka lang may bumili e kasalanan ko pa kapag kinain kayo ng tilapia. 

'Yan 'yung stones then mga doctor fishes na hindi ako pinansin ng madalas. Alam mo kung bakit sila snobber? Kasi wala ko masyadong dead skin cells. Imsoproudopmyselp.

Then dun sa isang part ng pool, merong bukal. As in, bet na bet 'yung init ng tubig na umaagos mula dun. Then sa isang part din sa bandang area na 'yun, biglang lalamig 'yung tubig. Uyy, healthy rin daw ang alternate init at lamig pagka ganyan eh.


Nung pinaahon na nga kami habang nakaupo ako dun sa area na 'yun at feel na feel ang kainitan ng tubig, "HA? UWI NA?"


Ayan, so for documentation purposes:
They have a canteen inside the resort should you opt not to bring food.
Here's the description posted near the entrance.

They claim that they're the only natural hot spring with volcanic cinder flooring.

Sabi nila na therapeutic 'to diba, makiki-oo lang ako dun kasi nawala nga 'yung sakit ng katawan ko tas na-relax pa. Kaya 'to pinupuntahan lalo ng mga senior citizens dahil sa therapeutic properties nung hot water saka ng stones. Sabi daw nakaka-lessen talaga ng pain lalo na 'yung mga may arthritis na.
Opposite nung bukal, merong massage and scrubbing area. Dun lumalabas 'yung tubig kaya okay lang na may naliligo dun kahit may sabon at shampoo pa ha.
We rented Kamagong Room for P 2,600.00
RATES!
Para makita mo ang itsura ng reklamadora. :)))

Uyy, na-rosy cheeks kaya ako pagkatapos ko mag swimming.


This made me realize na we should give chances even to those things we never thought of doing. Kasi pag gagawin mo lang 'yung mga bagay na gusto mo, you'll never experience how is it like to enjoy the things other people consider "pleasurable". Hindi kasi natin alam kung ano 'yung mga "gems" at "learnings" na meron dun sa places beyond our comfort zones. Kung ako kasi, hindi talaga. Walang wala 'to sa choices ko pero nung nandun na ko at ngayon na tinatype ko na 'to, "Round two please." 



Saka ano, don't judge the book by its cover. Yun eh. :)

May 4 na agad.
5/12 na of 2014. Huhuhu. Bilis ng panahon! Hindi ko na muna sasabihin 'yung plans ko for May. :D

Anyway, 

My April was an exciting and "lakwatsa"-filled month. All plans pushed through and I'm very very thankful. 

Here's a rundown: 

Quezon 
Zambales
Pampanga


I have yet to post my Laguna and Cavite. 
Diba? Diba? #explore2014 #alwaysthankful2014 #uselesshashtags:))) 


In my Christmas 2013 (2014 and beyond) wishlist link: here. 

Sinabi ko na gusto kong magpaka Dora the Explorer, naging ala Dora the Explorer nga ako nung April kaya super thank You po. Ganun talaga ang puso ng tao, noh? Hihingi tapos pag napagbigyan, hihingi ng hihingi ulit. Sarreh na. Ang lala talaga pag di maubusan ng gustong puntahan.


Copied from my wishlist post:

1. Funds to continue being a miracle to my sponsored child. Link: here. - Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ako dito. My sponsored child was changed but my new one already sent me a letter. hehehe. 

2. Plant a tree or trees. 'Yung may pangalan ko. Ehehehe. - So far, wala pa 'to but may chance na. Alam ko na how kaya sana lang matuloy within this year :))) 

3. Become a volunteer teacher again. - I don't know if I'll have the "extra" free time to allocate for this so I doubt that I'm doing this still. Okay na 'yung isa lang na volunteer work.

4. Volunteer at an NGO. (My eyes are on PAWS, Gawad Kalinga or Habitat for Humanity) - I've already submitted my application form last April. Just waiting for the PAWS volunteer orientation on May 10. hihihi! 

5. Sporty hobby. Gusto ko ng jogging na nagiging walking lang naman, boxing, muat thai, badminton or zumba/dance classes. Gusto ko sana subukan ang yoga pero di ata kami bagay. -  HAHAHAHA. Hanggang dyan ka lang ba Tintin December 2013 version? Sabi ng Tintin May 2014 version: MOUNTAIN CLIMBING ITEZ, BABY! Na-enjoy ko kasi sobra pls. :))))) Gusto kong gawing hobby 'yung mountain climbing kahit man lang isang bundok isang taon. Huhuhu. Naakyat ko nga pala 'yung Pico de Loro at ipo-post ko 'yan soon. hehehehe. At para sa training, okay na ko sa biking. PICO DE LORO EXPERIENCE LINK: HERE.

6. RAKET!!! - Forever kulang man, forever thankful pa rin na meron. Sana parating meron! 


So the items in my wishlist have been accomplished except sa material things but I really had to sacrifice and make a choice eh. Kung bumili ako ng camera, wala kong mga out of town. hehehehe. Tama nga 'yung sinabi sa'kin na, choosing experiences over material things shall bring more happiness and contentment in the long run so I have no regrets. My old camera and laptop are still fine and working so okay lang talaga. My Xperia ZR's camera, on the other hand, does a great job in capturing bright outdoor (sometimes even macro) pictures. Instant upload pa nga sa Instagram. Hahahaha. #teamSony #teamXperia. Tumatanggap nga pala ko ng Sony TX30 na digicam at Sony Vaio na laptop ha. :))) Haaay, kung ganyan lang kadali ang buhay at pahingi-hingi na lang. hahahahaha. Lolssssss. 



Ikaw? Kamusta?

Do you have a place you want to go to?
Do you have an activity you want to do?
Do you have something you want to own?


Sabi nga nila, "Don't wait for life to happen. Make life happen." I-motto natin yan forevs pls. Sanaaaaaaa.




You weren't made to simply survive until you die. Live it up, embrace life. This entire planet exists for all God's creatures, - and that includes you. Don't wait to start living, begin right now, with your very next breath. There are many wonderful experiences waiting for you, so get going.


May the fourth be with you. 




I LOVE YOU, MAY! 
KTNXBYE.

After the Hotair Balloon Festival link: here and Nayong Pilipino link: here. We headed to Paradise Ranch to eat our lunch and to spend the entire afternoon. 

Unang-una, naiinis ako pag naririnig ko 'yung mga salitang Paradise Ranch kasi naaalala ko si Changmin ng DBSK. Naiinis kasi ako sa kamukha nun eh. Joke. Hindi ko naman na naisip 'yun nung nandun ako, tuwing ganito lang na nababanggit. hahahaha. Kk, baliw. 

Sabi ng website nila,

Paradise Ranch
 is an environmental project design to educate children and the general public on protecting the environment and saving wildlife. it is located on the hills of Clark Air Base, with fog and temperature comparable to Tagaytay and Baguio, a million dollar view of the entire Clark Zone, surrounding cities and towns, overlooking the Sacobia River, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Arayat and other mountains and majestic sceneries for everybody to enjoy without and membership!

Tagaytay at Baguio. Kaya naman pala may "Little Baguio" na area. Best months to go there would be November to February siguro 'cause April?

JERSKERLERD. OVEN. PRITO. BBQ. SAUNA GANYAN.
This was our free lunch. Controlled buffet. Mej bitin pero oks na rin.
Here are the attractions/things to see in Paradise Ranch.
Remember Channel 2's Honesto? This was their filming site.

Aeta's dancing in the tune of Waka-Waka. 
Fish Feeding Area
You are to ride that balsa.
Emote emote sa Little Baguio.
They also have a butterfly garden near this place.
Exploring the rest of the area.
Lika na, Edward Edward ulit.

This was the coolest place (literally) during that day! Sana nag set-up sila ng duyan dito.
As we explored more, we found this walkway and at the end of this was the pool.
Huhuhuhu. Sarap pls!
Near the pool was the Toon Town and these kids were also there playing.


After changing our shirts and freshening up, we went back to the bus.
Goodbye, Paradise Ranch.

It was fun while it lasted.

I enjoy going to places like this.
Tahimik and you'll feel one with nature. They also have cottages in there should you opt to have an overnight trip.

The only downer was the weather. It was really hot so it was a challenge to walk around the whole place. Para lang kasing nasa desert dahil sa lahar na nasa paligid. Marami pa nga kaming hindi napuntahan.

Ayan, as we rode the bus, tulog ako agad. Hindi ko na nga naramdaman na nakaalis na kami ng Paradise Ranch at nasa Duty Free na kami.

And there entered my most shonga moment ever,

As I woke up, I checked my phone and saw 14 miscalls from my mother.

"O asan na kayo? Anong oras kayo uuwi?"

Tumingin ako sa labas at may nakita akong Duty Free nga...
"Andito pa. Sa Duty Free. Subic."

"Subic? Bakit nasa Subic ka na naman?" Andun lang din kasi ako a week before. Duty free was our stop-over after going to Anawangin Cove in Zambales link: here.

"Andito nga kami sa Subic eh. May Duty Free sa labas."
"Layo pa nyan sa Pampanga. Nakaabot ka na naman dyan!"
"Ewan ko. Basta nasa Subic kami, bababa lang ako bibili sa loob"


ANG INIT PA NG ULO KO EH. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
SHET. MAY DUTY FREE SA PAMPANGA! AT MAGKAIBA ANG SUBIC AT CLARK. ARAL ARAL DIN NG GEOGRAPHY AT HISTORY, TIN! HAHAHAHAHA. 
And that's the end of our "Subic" Trip.
Someday ka sa'min, Mt. Pinatubo.

All in all, I must say that the voucher from Metrodeal was worth it. Thank you, MetroAsian Tours for making this trip as convenient as possible. This would have been very difficult have we decided to do a D.I.Y tour. Kulang kami sa tulog because we all headed to our meeting place in Glorietta immediately after finishing all our works/things to do. Alam mo 'yun, gising na ng maaga ng April 11 tas Pampanga na agad sa madaling araw ng April 12 but because it was a group tour, kebs lang matulog sa bus nang walang inaalala.
My friend's blog link: here. 


P.S. Sabi ko in one of my posts before, "as much as possible, somewhere North or farther South naman." Today's the 27th day of April 2014 and meron na lang akong isa pang pupuntahan before this month ends. Thank You po! 'Cause after 6 months, nakapunta ko ng ibang Northern and Southern Provinces. At sa 7th month (since October 2013 'to ah), ako na siguro ang pinakamasayang tao na may kaunting pera. Ajujuju. 


Thank You po!!! :D
