Ferino's bibingka - Ensogo deal

I got this deal back in February for only php50 per voucher from Ensogo.

Deal says:

Ferino’s Bibingka

Fall in love even with just the first bite of the best rice cake in town with a Special Bibingka from Ferino’s (valued at P100)

> Voucher is valid for 1 Special Bibingka at Ferino’s Bibingka.

I have to get 2 vouchers so to purchase this deal.

We went to Tiendesitas last Sunday to just avail them. My kid loved it! It's fluffy and soft. He shared it with dada and I shared mine with Memek.

I don't recommend this if you'll purchase this on its original price. For me paying php100 for this bibingka is way too much so ok lang pag deal.

Peso value: just right for a deal price of php50

trip to Subic - day 1

Call time: 9am, Saturday 3/17

hanu to?! 10am na wala pa yung sundo namen!

We left Manila at 10:20am. As usual, cause of delay ang mudrakels. She has to make luto pa daw for our bunso na maiiwan sa bahay over the weekend.

Ok. We didn't have any stopover the entire byahe. We took SCTEX and nalula sa almost php172 (not sure on the exact amount) na toll fee to Subic exit. Not tipid! I don't think it is that fast too. 

Travel time is 2hrs. We cruise along SBMA looking for place to have lunch. We found Aristocrat but we stopped few meters away to it so we had to take a u-turn. 

And since no idea on the 3sec rule sa SBMA, nahuli kami. And since it is lunchtime already, walang patawad!!! So it is ticket o lagay haha! I guess you already know what we did.

Failed to document all the viands served, as what we got used to, before eating. Lahat gutom haha! So ito na lang, aftermath..

As far as I can remember, we had pinakbet, karekare, pansit gisado - half, sizzling squid, pork sinigang, chicken - half, halohalo for all, chicken bbq w/ java for yoya, spaghetti meal for kids.. Peso value: php2300++, not tipid! pero busog and libre ni yoya!




We headed right away to Sheavens Resort to check in at past 2pm. And the kwento's here.

After we settle in our upgraded room, we waited for a while for sun to set. We headed then to the resort for the beach and pool.

We had dinner at KFC SM Olongapo. Peso value: php780++ for one bucket meal and some add ons. Libre again! yeeee!

trip to Subic - Sheaven's Seafront Resort review

Last weekend was my first summer out-of-town trip for 2012..

Trip to Subic with my family...

It was a biglaang lakad kse dada's on a team outing the same weekend sa Subic. They have plan to go to Zoobic then I thought of bringing Bryce din sa Zoobic so we can tag along with dada. Kaso mo we have to stay to a different place since dada have team planning nga.

In less than a week, i was able to plan an overnight trip to Subic with my family. We booked one family room (php 2500/4pax) in Sheavens Seafront Resort in Baloy Beach Road Olongapo. We just added 3 more bed for php500 each.

Here's what i booked online:

Nice no? Shempre if online booking, i just base it sa pictures they post on their sites. Looks fine nga e.

But lo and behold..when we get there (sayang i wasn't able to take a shot of it), the room is located by the roadside so it is ingay talga. And the beds are divided ng wall so medyo masikip talaga and ekis sya for us having kids in tow.

We asked if they have other rooms available basta not on the roadside but OMG no more na daw! fully booked! We were given wrong expectation sa pictures online. We found out that they are on new management na just few months ago and the pictures online were outdated according to the receptionist. She gave us option to refund (but hell they aint giving the full refund! ano un?!) or to transfer to another room yet we have to pay additional. We asked to speak to the owner, Sam, who agreed on transferring us to Lucky Homes without additional fee(a bigger room with additional gamit but situated at the very back of the resort and tatawid pa ng daan). And we definitely deserve this! Pwede na din. The owner's too nice naman so this ends up my rant na.

Here's the room setup though i failed to take shot of the entire room sa opposite side where the lcd 40" is mounted, the sink, the ref and the cabinets too.

What's nice naman about the place is that it is not kaloob looban nung beach road and they have nice pool where kids enjoyed swimming.

They're also fronting the beach however walang sand. Pagbaba ng stairs water agad. Beach pa ba tawag dun? hehe.

The following day, the grey sand showed up kasi lowtide.







 


Nice din yung bar and resto beside the beach. Chill place for a couple of beer.

Ekis yung mga staff sa bar pala. It was 11pm and most of us were sound asleep na then biglang may kumatok sa room. at sino to? yung taga bar sabi mali daw yung nacharge na price per bottle. Instead of 60, dapat php80. Whatda! Yun lang mangangatok pa ng disoras ng gabi.

So ekis! Pero come payment time, we only settled what we signed on the charge slip the previous night with a php60 rate per bottle. Tse nila.

Overall Sheavens rating: 7/10 - nice pictorial place, staff needs to be further trained, owner/mngr easy to deal with, pool is kid friendly, can't rate their food since we didnt eat there, room rate is TIPIDITY! 

Continue reading on to my next kwentos on our Subic trip!

I tried to maintain a blog before and kinda crowded them with deal postings. It didn't work ok so i decided to just abandon it and create a new one with blogspot hehe.

Hope i can maintain it regularly as I wanted.
