Posted by Jay on February 18, 2014 None comments

This is the first time that we have celebrated Valentines day, we know of its pagan origin so we kinda skipped celebrating it yearly.  But this year was different, we had a family day at Qabana, becoming one of our favorite place to visit if we want to go swimming.

Sumo

We all miss him :(..

Little Kichiro and Sumo

The photo above was taken when Kichiro and Sumo were 1 year olds, Sumo was a few months older than Kichiro.

Then after 2 years we had another labrador, a female named Peewee.  After years of taking care of them we decided to look for a new owner :(, our space was not big enough for Sumo already, so it’s time to let go, it had been a painful separation but it was the best thing for all of us.

We still get to visit him once in a while in his new owner’s place.  If by God’s will we get to have a new place where there is a big backyard, we will get Sumo and Peewee back even if we have to buy them to their new owners :).

Zdi’s 10th Bday at Qabana Resort

Posted by Jay on June 23, 2011 None comments


Happy B-day Zdi!

Seems to be lonely here, or scared? He’s on top of the slide… lol

My second son celebrated his 10th birthday last June 4,I was only able to find the time to blog and post the pics today :D.

So we went swimming again which is their all time favorite thing to do for celebrations.

We went Qabana Resort along Governor’s Drive in Dasmarinas Cavite. A few minutes away from Pala-Pala intersection. The place is easy to find because its just beside the high-way.

Entrance:
Php 130.00 adult
Php 90.00 – kids below 4 feet
Tables w/o umbrella – Php 100.00; w/ umbrella – Php 150.00
Cottages – Php 500.00
Parking – Free

What I like here is that it is very accessible.  We went there commuting only by jeep.  I also like the fact that I dont need to bring any food, just buy foods there, save me the hassle of cooking and carrying a lot of stuff.  Plus the entrance fee is affordable :).

The tables, cottages and stage

I also like the kiddie pool with the mushroom umbrella painted with disney characters.  My 4 year old loves it there, he’s not afraid to be by himself (of course he is being watched all the time), he sits, walks and swims by himself without being scared, unlike in some places we went too, where he always wants to be carried or someone holding him.

They have QTV’s, rooms to stay, a hall, 2 pools, for kids and an adult pool (4 ft) with a slide.  They also have a small stage.

The rooms

The hall

They also have a mini restaurant there where you can order food (of course lol), mini bar too.

The minibar and food counter

Outside the resort, just beside it you can find 2 restaurants, food is easy to find here, so it’s ok if you dont bring any to save time and hassle. Just go there and buy cooked food.

Magdaragat (a place with many seafood restaurants) is also near it.

We would definitely go back here again, since my kids love swimming, we can just go here anytime we like.  No worries on food preparation.  We’ll just buy food there, there’s a sari-sari store also beside the place.  Can go there by jeep or by bus if commuting.

Oh.. and night swimming is also allowed here.  Has a WI-FI also.  I recommend this place.

Qabana Rating – 4 stars.

MOA at the bay

Posted by Jay on June 29, 2010 None comments

Finally, an update…

MOA stands for Mall of Asia by SM, the biggest mall here in my country (Philippines) and a must see too if you happen to visit the the country.  About 2 hours drive away from my place. Located in Pasay.  A huge shopping area, lots of restaurants, kiddie playplaces, skating rink, etc.

There is also IMAX (SM Cinema).. short intro… The IMAX experience captivates you in crystal clear sights and sounds. It’s so intense that it makes you feel like you’re part of the movie!

But it’s not what I’m gonna share here… lol.. what I want to show you is the one near the bay, playgrounds, more restos, bars, rides for kids and adults.. and the view — BEACH!  The place is open in the evenings till early mornings.

I love the setting, the fountain too, and I wanted to try this ball thingy here, except that I’m too old for it, I’d probably look stupid in it… lol.  Anyways, my 2nd child did and he looked like he had so fun in it. Fee 100.00 pesos

the waterball

There was this bungee kind too, which I did not try again (sort of shy…:P) my 8 year old boy did, and boy was I envious, lousy me that night :(.  Fee 175.00 pesos.

bungee

I will come back here for sure next time, with some friends, and I’d try that hanging in the air kinda like bungee thing, my heart is leaping already just thinking about it. :D.

One of my favorite things to look at are fountains…
