Growing up in the metro, I got used to places where I can hang-out with my friends so relocating to Sta. Rosa, I foresee a boring life in Laguna. But when we finally moved…tada! Paseo de Sta. Rosa was my relief! It was just like in the Eastwood Citywalk or in Blue Wave Strip. The ambiance and architecture feels the same and has a central activity area for concerts and other events. Paseo is under Greenfield Development Corporation and this is their prime icon of commercial and lifestyle center in Sta. Rosa.

My daily office lunch breaks have been boring for quite some time now. The usual canteen menu isn’t bad but routinely having it for lunch can really dull your taste buds so I opted to “hunt” for food somewhere else and it was difficult because Madrigal Business Park doesn’t cater a lot of choices.

Yet, lo and behold, across the park lies a hidden authentic Japanese restaurant!

SABANGAN is a Filipino-themed resort at the beachfront of Laiya, Batangas. Only a 2 ½ hours travel from Manila which makes it a very convenient place for abrupt unwinding and escape from the city.



Check in time was 2pm, but since we arrived earlier than expected, Sabangan were nice enough to let us stay at the pavilion. The pavilion has a billiard table, a foosball table, a tumba-tumba and seats to rest. They also lent us a rice cooker and barbecue grill so we could prepare lunch as we wait for our check-in time. As we prepare food, they were cleaning our reserved two-bedroom bungalow, and just for the record, they were really clean down to the last dust.

Five months to go until 2010 Philippines Election; Have you got a candidate on mind already? or better yet, have you registered already? Last registration is this month, we should make our vote count if we plan to change the way things work in our country.

As we decide which candidate to vote, I hope that we base it on what we know about them, what they have done in the past, and what our conscience tells us. Let me tell you the things that plays on my mind when I think of our presidentiables.
