Feb 14 Family Day at Qabana

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.

This may look funny, but something to make us think.

Pray before meals

Hubby took the photo :D. While I was busy preparing dinner lol.  Well it looked funny to me, but this is something we must do right?  Pray and thank God for the blessings, food on our table every single day, every meal, that we don’t go hungry, that He always provide and take care of our needs.

For the recipe and how to do this very simple sushi, you can check my food blog here -> Not Just Our Daily Bread.

Zdi’s 10th Bday at Qabana Resort

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.

Kichiro’s 4th Bday at Veninna Resort

Time flies so fast, it seems like it was just days ago when I posted Kro’s 3rd bday, now he’s a year older.

For those with “sweet tooth”

An ice cream cake.

This one is just soooo… yummy. A birthday gift from a good friend, my 9 year old picked the flavor. There were so many to choose from, I wanted that Mango Madness, but kids’ favorite is “always” chocolate. I never regretted it since this one is just so good.

My 3 year old was the one who blew the candle.. yey! He’s the one at the center pic (cake mix pic) :D.

Chocolate cake inside, with mocha ice cream as filling.
Just thinking, maybe next time on one of my kids bday, instead of buying a separate cake and ice cream, I’ll buy an ice cream cake instead… hmm. We used to buy choco moist from Fortune baker, the price when compared, just a hundred pesos more for the ice cream cake, not bad.

Nothing fancy for my birthday except for this special cake.
This year has been a very tough one for me. I hope the next year to come would be a much better one.

Here's your share 🙂

Enjoy!!!
