Cloud 9 Antipolo Date.....

A night before our Anniversary, out of the bubble we planned on going to Cloud9 in Antipolo but the problem is we dont know how to get there. I search the Internet while she asked her friend who lives in Antipolo. 
 

On the evening of our anniversary we proceeded with our plan, taking a Van ride from Cubao to  Antipolo. She told me that her office mate said that we have to alight in Sta.Lucia Mall in Cainta and take a taxi, barter with them on a fix price to get us there so we would not take a hike up to Cloud9.

What we did is ask the driver of the Van if how far is the walk and he said its just a short walk. So we did follow the driver and guessing a 10 minutes hike. 

When we got to Cloud and started walking up, we already saw a of what we thought is the reception area, the security guard. told us to take the stair up, lo' and behold within few minutes we're already at the reception area. Then booked ourselves in a Deluxe Room with Breakfast plus complimentary use of swimming pool.

Just infront of the reception area, you could see already the view from the Cafe Nueve restaurant. we immediately went to dinner. We have a good view of Manila. we ordered a sumptuous dinner Grilled Chicken (Half), Sizzling Sissig. While having dinner we were treated to a wonderful music by a band singing different genre.

Two Singers from the Trio Band, the third one just imagine him as Epi Quizon playing old base guitar (bajo) and singing modern song. they sang hits from Apo Hiking Society, Beegees and other hits..i requested "Grow old with you"










The next morning after having our complimentary breakfast we went to the pool but its still full of leaves and dust, we went up and asked the manager what time it will be cleaned and told us that they will just informed us, if its ready to be use. while waiting we decided to check out the hanging bridge and see the 360 restaurant view deck. 

We also noticed that Cloud 9 have old antique's displayed around from the early Filipino, Spanish and American stuff.

But we opted to enjoy the experience of walking in the hanging bridge up to the deck.

Sight from the 360 Restaurant View deck. unfortunately. Its closed i think it opens only during evening.

Its time to go down, a little bit slippery at the beginning just hold on to the side.

Pearl Farm Adventure

Last week i given a task to find a Live-in Seminar Quotation in Davao, they said they were eyeing a hotel far away from the city, its a four star hotel. In which it was also one of the places i wanted to visit. Other hotel have much lower quotation, which will not work.. so I went searching the Internet and so happy find two higher quotations.... so everything is running smoothly until i found something odd they have a schedule boat transfer that didnt coincide with the Flight Schedule.

The nearest schedule will mean we will have to wait for two hours and a half... but still of we go and excited and took 12:00PM flight to Davao

Arriving in Davao at almost 2PM, The Hotel has a car service that will take you from the Airport to the wharf, since some of are still hungry and the time in mind that we have to wait there. 5pm is our schedule. (note: if you ask the driver take you to other areas, it will cost 650.00 plus another 650.00 for waiting time) We ask the driver if he can drop us by RED Corner Burger Cafe, a boxing theme cafe.. they have promo that if you can devour their famous Lights Out burger within 5Minutes, Its FREE. the burger is a Three (3) one half pound burger top with melted cheese, mushroom and Bacon.

And great news to all up to now they still have a lone winner...

After finishing them burgers..off we go to Wharf, guest passenger should arrived 30mins before the schedule. because there are still things to be done like signing the guest folio and tagging your luggage. while i took sometime to roam around. saw the boutique selling Tiboli Tribe products.
