Take Me Back to Nobu Hotel City of Dreams Manila

by Bogie November 13, 2018

I always love having the opportunity to travel and stay in luxurious hotels. Just recently, I had the opportunity to join connecteD by Blogapalooza and we were housed at Nobu Hotel City of Dreams Manila. It was my 3rd time being around in this beautiful hotel but every visit always gives me a feeling of wanting to stay for a bit longer.

The moment I entered the hotel, the Japanese- inspired aesthetic is what I noticed. All the details speaks about beauty and perfection from decors, furniture and facilities. If you try to look around you can certainly say that everything has been planned rigorously to provide a relaxing venue for future guests.

One of the things that makes my #Blogapalooza experience unforgettable is the very comfortable accomodation at the City of Dreams Manila (@cityofdreamsmanila ). Not only you will have a day full of learning but a night of good rest and sound sleep. #Blogapalooza #Blogapalooza2018 #BlogaXCityOfDreams #BlogapaloozaPH #CDOBloggersxBlogapalooza #connecteD #CDOBlogers #SoarHighCBN @cdobloggers @blogapaloozaph #BogiesWonderland

Spacious and comfortable rooms with comfortable beds are also one of the few things I love about Nobu Hotel Manila. One time, my friend invited me for a walk around the hotel because it has beautiful lights during the night, but I chose to stay in my room because the bed is just simply irresistible. It was very comfy and the sheets are so soft.

I also love their breakfast buffet. They do not just serve Filipino food but Japanese food as well. Their breakfast will definitely make you full and happy. If you want to have a taste of everything they serve, you better wake up early.

Lastly, the friendly and courteous staff of Nobu Hotel Manila are highly commendable. All of them knows how to accommodate and care for their guests.

The total hotel experience is totally one for the books. Thank you Blogapalooza and Bloggamomma Ace Gapuz for bringing me here!

Thank You Philippine Airlines!

by Bogie November 9, 2018

One of the things I am thankful for is having free flights! When you say its FREE, people won’t believe you because almost everything around us isn’t free anymore. But last October 27, Philippine Airlines gave me and my CDO Bloggers team the opportunity to enjoy free flights going to Manila so we can join Blogapalooza 2018. The free flights was arranged for us through the kindness of Ms. Ace Gapuz and the entire Blogapalooza team.

Flying with Philippine Airlines always brings me good memories. My first ever plane ride was with PAL and it was truly unforgettable. Here are 10 things I am thankful for PAL.

Thank you Philippine Airlines for…

1. The minimal or no turbulence flights.
2. The cabin crew who wishes me good trip.
3. Providing my friend a wheelchair when her foot got injured.
4. Giving me the option to sit where I want.
5. Always providing your passengers delicious meals.
6. The assurance that I am safe. (based on your airline safety record)
7. Flights with no delays.
8. Kind and courteous cabin crew.
9. Always giving us safety reminders.
10. Most of all, thank you for opportunity to fly for free.

Thank you Philippines Airlines! I hope to have more flying opportunities with you.

White Island in Camiguin

by Bogie June 4, 2016

I was in Camiguin last week and it was my fourth visit in the island. Going back over and over again to this beautiful island is always an exciting experience.

One of the must-to-go places in Camiguin is the White Island. The White Island is an uninhabited white sandbar and has a crescent shape (but changes depending on the tide).

There are no trees or shelter of any kind, however you can rent huge umbrellas if you prefer. But if you really want to avoid the scorching heat of the sun, you can visit the island between 5:00 am to 8:00 am. This is also the best time to witness the sunrise from Mount Hibok-Hibok. Others also prefer to visit during the afternoon to witness the sunset.

The White Island is accessible through a motorized bangka or boats from Barangay Yumbing which cost around Php 450 pesos good for 6 persons. Boats are numbered and you have to remember your boat number as you will need that information once you want to get back to the mainland.

The sand is not as powdery compared to the usual beaches you have been. According to my tour guide, they are not really sand but powdered corals. You can really feel it on your feet that it’s a bit rough and sometimes a bit painful.

The view and the place alone is simply amazing and breathtaking. You can enjoy watching from afar the beauty of Mt. Hibok-Hibok and Mt. Vulcan.

You can also make your White Island visit more fun and exciting by snorkeling for corals and other marine life or just enjoy swimming. You can also try eating sea urchins.

Just a reminder: Don’t forget to bring hats, sunglasses, sunblock and of course drinking water. You can also bring food as you might get hungry while in the island.

Have you been to White Island in Camiguin lately? How was it? Would love to hear your story.
