Swensen's Ice Cream

ABBEY:

We tried Swensen's because we got a pair of 1-for-1 voucher when we pass by their shop near Cathay Cineplex. You just have to say "hello" and you can the free voucher :) Wasn't it good? I told Wilma we will use all the ticket, but as her tummy is small it can't accommodate all the sundaes. Mine was Gold Rush sundae and Wilma's was Hot Fudge which amounted for less than 8SGD. The sundaes were good. Sarap ng chocolate flavor pti yung wafer nila. We didn't hang out that long because Harry is waiting :)

WILL: What is Swensen's? A ice cream shop established by Swensen of course. hehehe. I never thought eating up their ice cream, why? because the ambiance of their stalls are bit intimadting for my wallet. hehehe.. Poor Lady.

      Then here comes the time when we passed one of their stall in Orchard. A man standing there with a mic asking passers to just say "hi" to him and we will get a voucher and some goodies. At first we thought it was just a bluff but it is not. Abbey say "hi" and walah! the vouchers and some snack is on his hand. When the man saw me behind my fiance, he asked me to say "hello" for him so I can have my own pack. Ayun, we ended up having two bags of goodies and two set of Swensen's voucher.

      We really planned to watch movie at Cathay Cineplex to redeem the said voucher. There is something that I can't explain that make this cold sweet cream so nice. Ending, BUSOG SA ICE CREAM. hehehe. 

New World Hotel - Makati, Philippines

ABBEY:

During college, I sidelined as a light man in video coverage. And whenever we cover for a wedding in a hotel, I used to dream to stay there for a night or two. Hotel staff will treat you as  if you're the most VIP in the world :) I experience that in New World Hotel. The hotel was great. They have ongoing wedding dress fair when we came, The Runway Project, so their lobby exhibited different gowns. Our room is spacious, twin bedroom, enough for 6-8 pax. We also dipped on their pool. :) Thanks to Neth's connection, we got it half the price.

WILL: It's my birthday! And who's idea ito? It is from my friendly-friend, Neth. Usually on my birthday dahil summer, we go for a out of town to have some splurge sa mga resorts. But now, we just stayed in Makati. 

      This hotel was aka Renaissance, now the name is New World Hotel. From office, I went straight to the hotel. There, in their vast spaced lobby, my friends were waiting for me, as usual grand entrance na naman ako. ;p.

      We have fun in our stay. A comfy room, clean pools, a free drink from our beloved Kuya V and a tipsy tipsy night with a revelation game. ahahaha!

      I am so thankful as always to my true friends who is always there for me. Oooops, almost forgot I just paid half of the hotel rate(Php3200.00), why? it's one of Marineth's gift for me. hehehe. 

      I love to stay in hotels, just to soak in my self in a hot tub. A sweet escape for me in a stressful world of Bureau of Customs in Philippines. 

Cantata

ABBEY:

Wow, Christmas cantata. I missed this when I left Philippines. The cantata reminds me that Christmas is just really around the corner. I got excited when I learned that International Baptist Church will be having this activity. I almost not able to make it due to my fault in my planning. Hahaha. I really liked the most is their rendition of O Holy Night, sent shivers to me. There's also a part of the song where the congregation also sings. Truly this is a joyous celebration for the coming of our Saviour.

WILL: As I said to my Resorts World Sentosa Singing Xmas Tree, I love choirs. It reminds me as one of the members of a Metro Manila division choir. I am used to be a Soprano 2. What I enjoyed in their list of piece is the "Glorious Day".
