Beautiful Bali Beach

Bali Sunday, April 17, 2011

These photos are taken at Bali. I guess all of us know what I am talking about. If the Philippines has the world's famous Boracay, Indonesia then has their own paradise - Bali.

When we went there last February, we were supposed to visit Bali for a day or two but with the rapid changing mood of my companion, we didnt pursue it and instead stay in Surabaya.

These photos however were taken by my colleagues who came there a few months ago. Bali is one of my dream destination and I want to take my kids with me.

These beautiful beaches with a lovely sky is my entry for Skywatch Friday and Looking at the Sky on Friday.

Have fun clicking on them both!

A Visit To Jogyesa Temple

black Wednesday, April 13, 2011

When we visited Seoul for business, we took time in visiting different temples. One of the temple we visited is Jogyesa Temple located near Insadong. The garden that surrounds the temple is newly renovated. There are at least 2 temples located in the vicinity and yes, we visited them too.

Insadong is place in Seoul that housed ancient tea houses, antique shops and boutiques. This is our favorite place among other modern places we have seen. If you want to see the tradition and culture of Korea, then this place is the best for you.

Jogyesa Temple

The sign in Korean language. Sorry I cant translate that for you. This is my entry for My World Tuesday.

Paradise Close to Manila

Cavite Wednesday, April 06, 2011

It's summer time once again! While some have already made plans to travel abroad, the trend nowadays is to travel in our own country. Its surely a must as the country offers so many wonders, natural resources, friendly people and food delicacies.

If you want to stay closer to Manila, you can visit Island Cove located at Kawit, Cavite. Its a resort that housed a lot of family activities.

FISHING VILLAGE:
Its a restaurant that you can choose where to eat, inside the resto or at the bahay kubo. We opted for the bahay kubo that can accommodate 6 people and has a minimum food package for Php 1,500.00. We ordered a big bowl of rice and 3 different dishes and paid around Php 1,600.00. Not bad for a group of 4 adults and 2 kids.

OCEANIA PARK:
We checked their swimming pool but since the slides were not ready at that time so we postponed and scheduled some other time. The kids wanted to swim with slides so no point of going there and they cant use the facilities. But for sure, that is one of our agenda this summer.

Taiwan Trip Postponed

advertising Wednesday, April 06, 2011

I am supposed to travel to Taiwan this Friday to attend the Taiwan International Sign & LED Expo 2011 but due to some unavoidable circumstances, we opted to cancel it and instead just contact the exhibitors listed in their website and maybe visit their office once we have develop some kind of correspondence.

We are interested into printing and advertising materials and there are at least 10 exhibitors whom I can see some kind of connection.

That is also good as Friday is supposed our day of departure at the same time thats the time to transfer our house. I guess that is what we called a blessing in disguise.
