She is given a second chance at life by a reaper, but it comes with a condition: she has to find three people outside of her family who would cry genuine tears for her.

2AM in Manila



Sidenote: As I am writing this post 2AM is on Live Power Music @ Animax (eep, what a co-inkee-dink)

I regret not going to 2AM's grand showcase at Eastwood...

Onto the post...

I went to 2AM's meet and greet at Newport Mall last April 28, got a CD and was able to get a meet and greet pass. I arrived at 12:30 and managed to get pass
no. 346.


They performed 2 songs (the 2 title tracks) and then stayed for 1 hour for the meet and greet.
We were all lucky that they managed to sign all 500 albums in that hour.

Villa Gregoria Resort: Laguna (Review)

Villa Gregoria Terrace Resort
Cool... Relaxing... & Refreshing...

Went to Villa Gregoria today and we were planning on staying overnight, only there were no rooms left. I told my parents we should have contacted them beforehand and booked a room nut my mom said that she was told (when we went to look at the place last Wednesday) that we need not reserve since we could just walk in and they can get us a room. After learning that we could not stay overnight my mood just went downhill. My mom said we could go night swimming instead, which puzzled me because there are signs saying that the only ones who could go night swimming were those staying overnight. I suggested we look for other resorts and found one (Villa Sotoya) nearby, nut it wasn't that great so we ended up back in Villa Gregoria.

We left early since it was getting really cold and it was a long drive home. I didn't think we get the value for our buck but I definitely would visit this place again, only next time I'll make sure we make the reservations. :p
Pros:
*Clean surroundings
*Landscaping
*Well maintained cottages
*Separate shower rooms and bathrooms
*Good parking
*Security

Cons:
*The mini olympic pool closes at 5:30
*Paying extra 50 php for entrance to the kiddie pool area
*Kind of expensive

Residencia de Riego: Batangas

General Information:
Name of Resort: Residencia de Riego
Location: Sitio Libis, Muzon 2, Alitagtag, Batangas
Amenities:
*2 Adult Pools
*1 Kiddie Pool
*Bar and Restaurant
*Barbeque Area
*Huts
*Air Conditioned Rooms



Another great summer getaway, Residencia de Riego is fairly cheap, clean and secluded. It is a good place to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The resort has three pools, a barbeque area, huts for those who are not planning to stay overnight, air conditioned rooms and a bar and restaurant. The place is very serene in the day but come sunset the place lights up and transforms into a lively scene.




Residencia de Riego in Pictures:

This is the 4.5 feet pool, beautifully landscaped.














The pool in front is the deeper pool,while the one at the back is the kiddie pool.







This is one of the huts they rent for those who are only staying for the day









Again, the hut from the front view, they blend naturally in the resort's theme










The landscaping, the resort is clean and well manicured









The Bathrooms at Residencia de Riego:
There are individual stalls ensuring privacy. There wes a shower at each stall, a soap holder and hooks to hang the clothes in. There was also a mirror so you can see yourself full length.

























The Bar and the Menu:
You could have your food delivered on your hut or your room and you can eat it there. The verdict on the food: It was good, but the quantity was disappointing considering the amount if money spent on each dish. I'd suggest bringing your own food or to barbeque food.




















































The Resort at Night:
It transforms at night the pool has colored lights, there are lasers by the bar-restaurant and the music plays to make for a party atmosphere
