SSG

When the nearby Rempson's grocery closed out last 2004, I felt sad because I've been used to roam it's spacious aisles and shop around for stuff that I need. Oh well, move on. I gotta bemuse myself in going to the father GL grocery and finish up things there.

But Lo and Behold!

I just found out that in a month's time, a new grocery will be put up where the old Rempson's left off. As per first hand info, the grocer's name is SSG. Hmmm..??? I wish it'll have the same ol' charm Rempson's had.

As usual, I'll write a review once things get up and running!

hail summer, hail mt sea

As summer opens up this year, I thought of the places I've been to where I think I'm heading back. One place popped above the rest, which happens to be Mt Sea Grand Resort in Tanza, Cavite. The resort is a good 1 - 1.5 hours drive south of Metro Manila. Bearing in mind that Cavite is a typical sea-lined province, I didn't expect anything special. Besides, I've been to the place years before it was renovated. But lo and behold! Surprise of all surprises, my mouth gaped open as I stepped down the pebbled walkway towards the grand lobby. The entire resort was vamped up and how.

The hotel used to look like a dusty motel, lined with the usual floral linen. But now, though I am not that architecturally savvy, it seems Balinese with low lamps and a faint yellow lighting, complete with the cozying effects of Buddha statues. The restaurant which used to look like a typical eatery also had it's facelift. It has turned into an al fresco dining, complete with entrees that are noteworthy. And the swimming pools you ask? Wow. The lazy, olympic - sized pool with slides was turned into a jungle - inspired oasis. Complete with bridgeways, treehouses, and apes, the pool area was turned into a marvellous watering hole. The empty spaces of the resort have been lined with interesting pieces like trampollines, slides, alligators (stones ones silly!) and the like. The dingy beach front is now heavy with cabanas, perfect for that afternoon siesta or just hanging out.

Surely, with a place as near as Cavite, I'm sure to hit the resort back.

Summer is indeed the "funnest" time to just relax, enjoy and be silly. And should you decide to do so, Mt Sea is the perfect place to be.

fuzzin' over Frosty (by Wendy's)

When a friend of mine, who happens to be a manager at a local Wendy's branch, taught me how to eat Frosty properly, I was dazed. By eating properly, I meant putting creamer atop the chocolatey creamy treat and savour each scoop one by one. Yum!

For a regular sized Frosty, it is reasonably priced at 32 php. And the creamer? Just charm the ol' lady behind the counter and she'll hand it out for free.

I dunno if this is really allowed by management, but if it isn't, well they should! The taste and texture of the smooth soft ice cream can rival that of the more popularly known brands easily available in the market. Especially now that summer's coming up, Wendy's should focus in marketing this wonderfully delicious treat.

At this point, I'm really fuzzin' over Frostys. I'm elated that we have a Wendy's stall in the pantry which equates to easy access to my current fave.
