Pig Out Nuvali Santa Rosa City

We decided to take a leisurely drive to Sta. Rosa after going to church.  Passed by Nuvali and decided to take a look.  Nuvali in Sta. Rosa was supposed to be designed as a eco friendly community.  Nuvali is huge and houses approximately 4 subdivisions.  Nuvali is an ideal place for people who want to experience nature and is not far from the city.  They have a man made lake where you can take a boat ride or feed the fishes.  Your can also go ride a bike or enjoy their newly opened wake boarding facility.

Jamba Juice Alabang Town Center

Since We were already at Alabang Town Center, We've decided to might as well try Jamba Juice after eating lunch at Bon Chon Chicken.  Jamba Juice, is located in the newly renovated side of Alabang Town Center facing Commerce Avenue, just beside Crispy Kreme.

Bon Chon Chicken Alabang Town Center

Finally, got to try Bon Chon Chicken at Alabang Town Center which is located at the ground floor of the newly renovated wing of Alabang Town Center.  Arrived at Alabang Town Center around 11 am just in time for mall opening hours a couple of weeks ago and decided to eat lunch at Bon Chon Chicken.   We were so early, that We were just the 2nd group of customers to walk into the restaurant.  But still, it was surprising to see that they were already preparing orders for delivery.  We were not really that hungry as it was still early and We ate our breakfast late, so We asked the lady at the cashier what their best seller was.  She recommended that We try their Thigh Ricebox meal w/c comes  with your choice of regular soda or Iced Tea. We order a 1 pc. Soy Garlic Thigh Ricebox for Php 95, since We were not really fans of spicy foods.   We also tried their Fish & Chips Box for Php 145 and  a Blueberry Torte (Korean Yogurt) for dessert worth Php 70.  They even serve alcoholic beverages in their menu and I guess the Spicy Chicken works well with beer.  The place seemed small, probably fits around 15-20 tables.  It amazed me to see that the place was already filled-up, by the time We got our orders.

The Mind Museum at Taguig

Had a chance last Friday to join my sons educational trip at The Mind Museum in Taguig along with his CFA schoolmates.  Was really looking forward to this day and almost didn’t make it due to commitments at work, as it was the first time We would be visiting The Mind Museum.  Originally, only my son and I would be joining the activity as my other 2 kids (aged 2 and 2 months)  were still too young to enjoy the exhibits and  besides the entrance fee was too expensive.  However, at the last minute my wife decided to bring the entire family. We got a discount for the tickets for the school activity, as We only paid for Php 600 for 1 child (Php 450) and a teacher (Php 150), since CFA was a home school. We needed 3 more tickets 2 for my wife and her sister and 1 for our little girl, who too tall to pass below 2 ft.  The regular ticket for adults is Php 600 and Php 450 for kids, so this meant that We’d have to pay an additional Php 1650 for the tickets. Good thing there was a promo for Student Price for All Ages during Tuesdays-Fridays.  However, there is a small catch to the discount.  You have to shoot on the spot a 20 second video telling them what you would like to invent and why?  Seems simple enough, so I gave it a shot and got a Php 150 discount for each adult ticket. So instead of paying Php 1650 for the additional tickets, We just paid Php 1350. Not bad, if I may say so myself.

Manila Ocean Park Discount Package

This is the 3rd time We've visited Manila Ocean Park since it formally opened a couple of years ago.  A lot of new attractions have been added aside from a variety of programs and shows where the whole family can watch and enjoy.  Come to think of it, you can actually spend an entire day at Manila Ocean Park if you'd be going to every attraction and watching the different shows, as they are spread at specific showing times throughout the day.  However, since We brought our 2 kids aged  5 and 2 with us , We decide to skip the shows due to their short attention spans.
