Slidefest 2015: 1000 Feet of Happiness


There are a lot of events lately scheduled on May 16 and 17, 2015 like the Closeup Forever Summer, Music Evolution Manila, and the Color Manila Run. We chose to attend the Slidefest because its a first, and we're not guaranteed if it will be repeated again.

May 16 was the first day, and we tried it on May 17 because May 16's slots have easily been sold out.
Slidefest first took place in Subic, and as far as the comments that i've been reading is concerned, not everyone had that "1000ft of happiness". Like any other events, it has it own flaws. So with all those that i've been reading, i did not expect ours to be the best.

The venue where it happened is soooo hard to find especially for commuters, we walked a long way just to get there, but its understandable because the place they chose was mostly grassy around, not buildings wherein we could distract the people working or the passers by. It took us a long time to find it. We were scheduled to start at 10am, and we found the venue around 10:10 already.

The registration process was smooth, because it was already categorized according to surnames.
We only paid for the 2 hours unlimited slides, because 1 slide is too short to have fun and the unlimited slide is too much to be staying all day under the heat of the sun.
We were given wrist tags, according to our type of wave slides.

When we got inside, we immediately changed into the prescribed clothes. its just series of tents with tarpaulins as cover. You don't get the privacy because boys are passing by the girls dressing room, and same with the boys, girls are allowed to pass by. Soo good thing I already went there wearing the dri-fit shirt that I'm supposed to wear.

We went to the line afterwards we surrendered our things, we're glad to know that the were just right in time. It stated at 10:30am and not 10:00am. The line is just short so its an advantage to us.



with the floaters that you're supposed to ride on just to slide.




And that's us again with a lot of floaters you can choose from. 




Happy sliders.  This slippers floater is so cute. (courtesy of Havaianas)



We were able to do 4 slides each. The other sliders who said that they only did it once was I don't know. The lines are orderly. The wave sliders are different from the VIP. 


For me the foam slide is the best, though we were only able to do it once. 


These big Oishi Crackers are soo cute that I wanna take home one.

Overall this was one good experience. The staff was accommodating enough. They have a lot of staff to assist you everytime you slide. The baggage area was also organized.

What I just don't like are:
1. They said that only dri-fit shirts are allowed, but not everyone wears dri-fit.
2. It is also in their rules that no mono sticks are allowed, but they're not so strict in implementing it and a lot still brought one while sliding.
3. There are no proper shower areas.

Over-all we had fun, even though we got a bit tan because of staying too much under the heat of the sun. The booths too were also nice, they have games for you to try just to pass time.

Late Summer Beachin' at Casa Angelina, Zambales

Image
Can no longer remember when was the last time I updated my blog. I've been so busy that I forgot to put up some stories here. Anyways, just a few months ago, we learned about this so called Casa Angelina, from the town of Cabanagan, Zambales. I know it may not sound as familiar as San Felipe, San Narciso, or San Antonio, but this place is also perfect if you are after peaceful vacation away from the city life. Casa Angelina is owned by the husband and wife tandem of Roy and Joanne. They personally assist the requests of the guests. It only has 4 rooms, 2 are garden view, and the other two for the ocean view. According to Roy, they prefer to keep it that way so the guests can feel the exclusivity of the place. Each room can accommodate up to 7-8 guests comfortably.  (garden view rooms) (This is the first bed you will see when you open the room. They have an additional double deck and bunker bed. Too bad I forgot to take pictures of them.) Their comfort

Vista Tala: Home Away from Home

Image
We just recently went to Vista Tala in Bataan. Another place we found perfect to de-stress and unwind from the busy life we all have at work. With just 3 1/2 to 4 hrs away from Manila, Vista Tala is situated almost at the top of the mountain that's why you expect a really cold weather and a very poor if not no signal at all - perfect if you want to get away and relax for a period of time. We went there on weekday so there's actually not much people except for those that are there on a day tour. We were a bit late from their usual check-in of 2pm. Good thing they are not that strict in terms of check-in period. Since we arrived late, we decided to rest for a while and do some picture taking since its nearly sunset and the weather is getting a lot colder we opt to swim in the morning instead. Look at the view <3 You'll be provided with Wi-Fi Passwords but this only works when you are in the swimming pool area and not when you are inside the room. Ever

Antipolo's Best Kept Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa

Image
Its been more than a year since I last updated my blog. A lot has happened by then. I focused more on my work, my boyfriend had worked overseas and a lot more. So when he came back, okay we're now back to our usual dates and mini adventures. :) Prior to him coming back, I was already looking for places that we can go. One recommendation I got was this place in Antipolo called Luljetta's Hanging Garden. Right after my boyfriend got enough rest and catching up with his family and friends, I booked a reservation right away.  We thought its a bit far knowing its Antipolo, and we're coming from Cavite. However, we got there faster than we thought we would. The place is already a bit famous in the area so no need to worry that they may take you somewhere else. We already paid the package that we got before going there. We were informed that there's really a lot of people who goes there on weekends so we might come there and get nothing out of it if we do walk-in. W
