Adventure: Casa San Pablo

Last 7-7-7, Doms and I were planning of a getaway. Partly because it was an extension of my 24th birthday and partly because we wanted to have rest and time off. We were supposed to go to Antipolo and try our luck in Cloud 9. But, when we were in the process of looking for the "perfect" getaway, we came across Casa San Pablo.



Casa San Pablo, is located in San Pablo City in Laguna. It is a 2 hour drive from Cubao. Jam Liner Transit, P110/head. The bus ride was ok, it was fast actually. Landmarks of the place include San Pablo Medical Center and Chowking. Once you arrive in thses locations, take a ride in a tricycle and say Kay Inay resort where Casa San Pablo is located.



When we arrived there, it was raining. But, the rain didn't hide the beauty of Casa San Pablo. It enhanced it more! The grass was much more moist and it was greener. Even if the hammocks were set aside, you can still see the simple beauty of the resort. The pool was very inviting. the rooms were very comfy and sureal.


Rooms were designed uniquely and beautifully. It was like a vintage flashback. The room was very comfy and dimly lit and it was very romantic and sensual.



Our stay there caused us P1500 that included all access to the pool, a very beautiful and sensual room and lunch. The pouring rain made our stay there more romantic. Hehehe..


Here are the contact numbers of the owner Boots and An Alcantara 09178126687 and 09209624083.

The next time you want a very happy day trip, try to visit Casa San Pablo.

Movie: Transformers

Last weekend, Doms and I went out of our way just to watch the much anticipated movie, Transformers. We decided to watch the movie in Trinoma Mall.

I was able to arrive early in the mall because I came with my family first. So, I went straight to the cinema to buy tickets. To my amazment, the line for Transformers was reaching up to the open garden near the cinemaas in Trinoma. All sorts of people, big and small, young and old, fat and thin, were there, waiting in line, hoping to get the movie schedule they want. I readily lined up to the shortest line and got the 2:50pm schedule, since my Doms will be arriving at Trinoma after a shoot in Manila.

After meeting up with Doms and eating before the movie, we went straight to the cinema. It was at least 30 minutes before the movie starts and people were already in line in front of the cinema. Talk about excited people. But, we were also there in line. We even saw Wency Cornejo in line with his kid.

The trailers were usually my favorite part of watching a movie, but at that time, I was already reeling for the trailers to end and the movie to start. All in all, the movie was packed with actions scenes and stunts. There were a lot of explosions and fires and effects. For us, there was no problem in that area. Everything in the action scenes and fight scenes of the robots, expecially Megatron and Optimus Prime's fight was A ok. The issue came with the movie editing. There were some parts of the movie were I believe was cut or too over rated. I feel they want to add a lot of action in the movie that they neglected the flow of the movie. Like the part where the computer specialists came. I was just surprised that that scene came in right away with no warning or introduction. one scene the military was talking then next came that computer specialists part. If there was a nice transition for that part and some others I can't remember, the movie would have been smooth and flowing.

In summary, we give the movie Transformers a (* * * * *) or 5 five stars. We don't care about the freakin flaw for editing, it was one hell of a movie and we liked it. Hehehehe...

'Til the next movie... Happy movie watching!!!
