Oh well... I gave in... :)

No one can resist the beauty of it! :) To tell you honestly, I'm having a hard time getting rid of my 3-year old Blackberry Storm, it's actually with me pa din. But because it's constantly low bat and recently it suddenly went off for several times unexpectedly, kaya I told myself- IT'S TIME!

I'm excited to use this for our Hong Kong trip this week! Eeeeeek!!! :) Happiness!!!

LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR- Where to Eat

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

I personally enjoyed dining at the restaurants of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. The ambience was relaxing, conducive and elegantly antique which takes you back to the 19th century era as if eating like an illustrado.

There are 2 main restaurants in Las Casas, one is Cafe Marivent in Casa Unison & the other one is La Bella Teodoro in Casa Binan.

We had our lunch at Cafe Marivent, a two-storey restaurant which serves Filipino dishes.

Monday, November 19, 2012

If a day tour in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is bitin for you and your family or friends, I recommend you to spend at least an overnight stay at one of their hotel rooms or houses. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is a heritage resort that offers a number of turn-of-the century hotel suites & houses that is distinctly Pinoy during the Spanish era.

LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR- What to do

Saturday, November 17, 2012

I fell in love with Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar the moment my feet stepped on the old fashioned brick floor. The sights were extremely fascinating and the heritage resort was very well planned. So for everybody's convenience I made my own list on what to do in Las Casas.

LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR- Traditional Houses

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar's main attraction: its twenty seven heritage architectures which came from different parts of the Philippines. These old and decaying architectural treasures that have been carefully transported and painstakingly reconstructed now stands with great pride in beautiful Bataan against the background of mountains, rice fields, river & beach

LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR- Home

Saturday, November 10, 2012

My Mama was raised in Balanga City, Bataan so ever since, Bataan has always been very close to my heart. I consider it my second hometown- from the moment of my consciousness until now, my family & I go here every vacation for at least once a year. So while browsing thru my blog it's upsetting to realize that I haven't shared any accounts of Bataan considering that this province is the most frequent place I've been to. Luckily I was given a time off from work, so I opted to spend my vacation in my second home.

I was really eager to visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan.

HALLOWEEN 2012

Happy Halloween 2012!

It's been my long time dream to wear a costume on Halloween so I told Mike a few months ago that I want ChaMike to attend a costume party this year. We've been thinking really hard on what to wear and since we got really inspired watching the play The Phantom of the Opera, plus coincidentally bought a mask as souvenir- dressing up as Phantom & Christine would be the perfect ChaMike Costume for Halloween 2012.
