This is the view in the ground floor.
Ace water spa is a place to relax in the city. They have two branches: Quezon City and Pasig City. The one we visited was in Pasig City because it is the nearest for the down south peepz like us. Shout out to all the South peepz! Hahaha Anyways, we visited the place during my birthday (last May 2016 and yes this post is a backlog, stayed in my drafts for a few months). Thank you, Momma! Treat nya kami. Hihi
We stayed for a night and it was a good choice than going home after a 4 hour water spa. We were really tired because I and my sister swam in their Olympic size pool. We were trying to practice our skills in the water.
The counter for the Water Spa. The counter for the Ace Hotel was in the other side.
Ta-da! My mom requested for additional mattress with free breakfast and they gave us 200php off for the 3rd guest for the water spa. It cost around 1600php ++ for the breakfast and mattress
Inside the room, it was a television, office table, a cabinet, safe and many more.
The bathroom. However, no bathtub included for our room.
Shampoo, conditioners and lotion all freeeee
The gym to get buff and sexy
The sky garden was the place we ate our buffet breakfast.
Skybar. Party party in the rooftop
The buffet.
The Verdict:
I am really grateful for our overnight stay and with our 4 hour water spa session. It was one of the best interactive spa I ever visited. Almost all of the facilities in the spa area was one button away. I enjoyed pressing every single of it, trying the water massage. Inside the spa, no taking of photos, no slippers (use only the provided by Ace Water Spa), wear the correct swimwear and locker will be provided. My fave part of the water spa will be the hot herbal pool where you can deep your body and feel the heat of the water. relaxingggg It has 4 different temperature and aroma such as Jasmine, Lavander, Mint and Volcano something. lol Then, deep yourself to the cold water after soaking to the herbal pool. So don't hurry yourselves, you will be shock for sure. haha lamig bhe!
They also have sauna room, Olympic size swimming pool and many kinds of pool inside the spa area. I and my sister tried everything inside the spa. They are also really strict with the rules and regulations. I suggest to be obedient. They have people watching over everyone. They also have a rental service, just in case you don't have a rashguard, cycling shorts or maybe trunks hahaha I prefer buy your own, there are shops near the establishment.
For the breakfast buffet, it was good. They have many varieties of food to choose from. I ate a lot too. hahaha Cheat month, birthday month. lolz. Overall, I am satisfied. Will I visit them again? Yes, I will!

What is the difference between Canonical Interview and Pre-Cana Seminar?
The Canonical Interview is usually held at the Diocese of your Church or your location. The procedure depends on every Church or parish priest of your community. In our case, we were asked to go to Diocese of Paranaque for our Canonical Interview, even our church is in Alabang, Muntinlupa. It is only scheduled every Tuesday, with first come first serve basis. So we arrived early around 9 o'clock in the morning and we were in the 5th or 6th inline. We were asked to answer sets of questions about each other in the questionnaires given. Let me recall the questions, it goes something like these but not in exact words:
- How long do you know each other?
- How long are you engaged?
- Are you previously married? If yes, how long? Are you annulled?
- Do you have a child? If yes, how many?
- Are you previously a seminarian? If yes, what is the reason for quitting?
- Do you have a drug problem/s?
- Do you have an alcohol problem/s?
- Do you have a terminal illness?
- Do you have an illness that might be hindrance to sexual intercourse?
- If he has a problem with drugs, alcohol or sexuality, will you still marry him?
- and many more...
When it is our turn for the canonical interview, we entered Fr. Raf's office. Then, cooking show started. Lelz (paggigisa starts now! Hahaha) Well, in my part no hard questions were asked. When Fr. Raf asked me how many boyfriends I had, well it took me 15 minutes to answer because it is hard to count eh. Charot. I immediately answered him with, "His my first and only boyfriend." Haha So ayun, Father gave his attention to my fiancé. It is more on validating the answers in the questionnaires with follow up questions and explanations why they need to know those things. The interview lasted for less than 30 minutes. But if you have a complicated history, the personnel in the Church inform us it might take up to 2 hours. Once done, they will give you the permission for the marriage banns. (Marriage banns is another story.hihi)
Next, Pre-cana or Church/ marriage orientation, it is about the do's and don'ts inside the Church and during the ceremony. We invited our suppliers so they would know the rules for the big day. We were with our coordinator, representative for our photographers and videographers, lecturers and choir. Well, not everyone actually has the luxury of time (can't able to attend) so I decided to send some copies of the do's and dont's via facebook messenger or viber to those who can't make it.
After less than an hour, next part of the orientation is the 4 modules about marriage, that was discussed by a real life couple which they relate the scenarios thru their experiences in their married life. I learned a lot from them and I am thankful that they shared a glimpse of married life. It is not always fun and exciting. Couple sometimes have dramas so be ready for whatever will come. Be strong and God should be the center of your relationship. :)
Finally, done for both :)
My advise for other couples, be yourselves and be as honest as possible. They will guide you thru the process and will help you how to work things out. Good luck to the future brides and grooms! Congrats!

This is one of the most awaited tourist destination we want to visit here in Jeju Island, South Korea. Yey! Specially my sister who loves Hello Kitty was really way more excited than anyone. I am not a fan of Hello Kitty but Sanrio World is love. My fave characters are Little Twin Stars. I hope to visit their Cafe in Japan soon. This attraction is so girly, pink and for all ages. Everything is so kawaii.
Here is the front of the building. From afar, we can see the face of Hello Kitty. It is hypnotizing us. hahaha The kiddos in our tourist bus were so excited too.
This is the map of Hello Kitty Island. It has three floors of cuteness and everything Hello Kitty.
View from above. Iz it zzzo stunning? Iz it amazing?
History of Sanrio Characters - Hello Kitty was the pioneer. It was created in the year 1974 then the next year, my fave characters was next to be created (1975 to be exact). Hello Kitty is now 42 years old while the twins are now 41 years old. They are so old more likely to be my mom. :))
Evolution of Hello Kitty
CUTEEEEEE!!!! UWI KO NA TO SA BAHAY!!! :))

Every artist has it's own expression of Hello Kitty
With my travel buddies (me, sister and my mom AKA " the older sister")
Dancing Hello Kitty Hologram
Hello Kitty Kingdom
The pledge of LOVE lol
The wonderful signage hahaha you can feel the life of the place :)) charot. bulok na sya! wawa naman
This is the Cafe. Unfortunately, we do not have enough time to dine and unwind. huhu
Before exiting, the required place to visit and buy some souvenirs.
I bought myself a cellphone case and stuffs for my cousins.
The Verdict:
The place is so cute. It is really for Hello Kitty fans but if you are not a fan. You can skip this place. There are more interesting place in Jeju Island too. Especially, if you are a guy, only your girlfriend or sister will have fun and will enjoy posing here and there. The only part I did not enjoy was the rooftop. The facilities on the rooftop such as the signage was ruined and not maintained properly. However, I am glad with my few hours of roaming around the area. It was educating and artsy. You will realize hype of this character was astonishing. It reached around the world and every decade will always be a successful one. With Sanrio characters, it feels like I am a kid again. In addition, I suggest to add more interactive activities inside the area.
If I will rate this place? I will give it a 4 stars out of 5 stars.
I want to share with you an infograph that will help you have the perfect pair of pants to fit with your ASSet. Flaunt those booty and hide your flaws! This will guide you to analyze the pants to buy according to your size and shape.
For my body type, I think I have a hourglass or pear shape body. So this is me claiming I have a sexy body type like Scarlett Johandson and Beyonce. Pak ganern! Now I know what kind of pants to wear just by looking at the infograph. Thank you so much Betabrand for sharing this with us.
No matter what occasion or event, you want to make a good first impression. Too many times, especially with women they often do not consider that the way they dress will leave a lasting impression. In many cases, the impression they wish to convey is not what they truly conveyed toothers they met.
Women often look at the way movie stars or others on television wear to help them make the decision on the type of clothing they should wear. This can actually be disastrous as most of the clothing you see worn on televisionis not appropriate. For many women, especially those that wish to follow their faith have a more difficult time as they cannot dress the way the stars do or the will not be following the rules set forth by their chosen faith. This means that are going to have a very difficult time trying to dress modestly and having the self-confidence needed to leave a good impression.
The truth is modest dresses for women will actually leave a much nicer and better impression. When you meet someone for the first time, do you really want them looking at your cleavage or talking with others about the tightness of your dress? When women dress with low necklines, low back lines all the way to the hip bones or short skirts that often leave nothing to the imagination are never seen as intelligent or knowledgeable. These women are usually trying to use their bodies to get attention or get ahead instead of using their natural beauty and brains.
The same goes for female teenagers when they have a formal event at their school. Most want to dress like their friends, stars, or at least trendy fashions. Parents often have to step in to help their daughters dress modestly. The good news is that you can actually help your daughter find modest prom dresses that she will love instead of wearing clothing that is too revealing which you know will give the wrong impression.
The fashion industry is actually listening to women that wish to dress modestly. You may not find the clothing in the mainstream stores, but you can find several designers online that have listened and are creating beautiful styles with many different colors to help support your desire to dress modestly while still wearing clothing that is in style for today.
The choices are growing every day which is wonderful for many women that have had to wear the same dresses year after year and pass their dresses down to their daughters for their school events. Many of the dresses were worn by their mothers as well, so of course, your daughter will not wish to wear a dress her grandmother wore to her prom. She wants a dress that will make her feel like she can compete with the other girls at her school while still dressing modestly. This can be accomplished by shopping online with your daughter. Both of you will find beautiful, stylish, and modest dresses that will allow her natural beauty to shine.
After the engagement, what is next? If you are routing for a Catholic Church wedding, it will not be that simple. This is a challenge for both parties. Now I know, those couple who are suddenly went cold feet or felt impatient with everything with the preparation of the wedding, because only people who are willing to sacrifice goes to the altar. So couples, I suggest to be patient and helpful on every needs of each other. Haha
