What I liked about Beach View was that the place was clean and the resort had enough spaces where you can play parlor games. Also the beach was huge and there's plenty of space to take a swim. Water was clean as well.

The only downside for this resort (and really disappointing one if I may add) was that they collect fees every single time. Their rates were cheap though, but they kept collecting at certain times of the day.

Day Tour is P25.00 from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Overnight is P60.00 (comes with free cottage) from 5:00 PM - 7:00 AM

Dirt cheap right? But here's the catch. If you arrived before 5:00 PM (say 4:00 PM) and you will stay overnight, you needed to wait for the clock to strike 5 PM so that you will only pay P60.00. However, if you wished to get into the resort immediately and it's not yet 5 PM, you will need to pay the P25 day tour fee because it's not yet 5 PM.

So you see, even if there was only one hour before 5PM you will still need to pay the P25 day tour fee.

Another catch, the cottage is free only from 5PM - 7AM. If you wished to extend even for just an hour or two you will need to pay for the cottage plus you also need to pay another P25 daytour fee because overnight fee is only valid until 7 AM.

You see, it's not even 24 hours since you are in the resort but they've already collected the entrance fee 3 times.

Also, they charge P50 electric fee.

I couldn't deny that the beach was really nice and service was good but the collection of fees was just too much. I guess that would be the last time I'll set foot in this beach resort.







P.S. Even if we did not get a budget approval from the management, we still had a blast and our bond as a team became stronger. #WeAreStronger as my colleague said.

I can't believe it has already been quite a long time ago when the hubby and I first began our love story. I know seven years isn't that long enough to brag about but in this day and age, I believe seven years is actually already some kind of achievement.

I remember when we were still starting, we were two broke people with very less to spend so dating was something we found very luxurious. We couldn't really afford a regular dinner date even in a not so fancy restaurant because we have no spare to spend.

It's pretty awesome going back on to the memories of how our journey lead us to where we both are now. Together we have dreamed and together we have conquered. We both have struggled and fought and become victors.

Looking back to our beginnings make my heart swell with joy. Can you imagine that our first actual date is just a long walk, with full of heartfelt talks and hearty laughter, from San Pedro Street to Quezon Boulevard. For most people, it is nowhere near fancy, but for me it's the best date my hubby and I ever had. Just having to enjoy each other's company without worrying how much we need to spend or who will pay for what has made that date a very special one. Hubby's company and our conversation is for me, indeed priceless.

Anyway, fast forward a couple of years after, we are both blessed with stable income and employment, hubby and I are finally able to go to places and spend a little. Nothing too extravagant but still memorable.

We are able to dine out, go on vacations, and make memories together. Travelling with him has become my favorite past time. Even just riding on the motorcycle around the city is special as long as I am with him. Below are some highlights of our years together.

For more than two years now, hubby and I still enjoy going to new places and dining out at new restaurants. I get to enjoy both my love for nature and food, and my love for my hubby. I thank God for blessing us with the resources and time that we need. Everything wouldn't really be possible without Him!


Remember, always find time to enjoy the things that make you happy with the people that makes the experience even happier! It's not always about how grand or expensive your date should be. It's all about the company you have and the happiness you get with that person.

Thank God for everything! Put Him in the center of your relationship. Fight for love. Keep the love. Stay in love.
