Travel | A Weekend at Luljetta

-
Have you ever felt the need to just get away from the busy streets of the city? 

Last month me and my friends decided to celebrate our mini Christmas party at Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa in Antipolo City. It's away from the city but not that far to get hassled with travel.

Antipolo is accessible via van from Cubao. When you reach the city proper,  you can hire a tricycle going straight to Loreland Resort. Luljetta is inside the resort.

Once you're inside Luljetta you will already feel relaxed with spa music and their very indochina interiors. It felt like we're somewhere in Bali. You can avail individual services or packages that you can choose from depending on what you want to do. We got the 'getaway' package which was only P930/person (22usd) that comprises 7 hours use of selected amenities and complimentary snacks!
Learn about their rates here.
Sungka tables are set up everywhere the place for a quick game.
'sungka' is a local game using shells or stones, whoever has lesser shells wins.
I'm not really an expert so I can't explain haha

There are open spaces with benches and bamboo/wooden chairs, but there are also rooms with their own toilet/bath area. We were lucky to get there early so we got the bigger room with this awesome view





Oh yeah batik robes were given out for you to change into for full spa experience.
Cute signs to remind you why you're there- to relax.
There are regular sized pools that are not deep, perfect for children.
 
Jacuzzi time!
Aside from a jacuzzi they also have saunas and hydrotherapy pools. 
  chillin' like a villain.
After our dip at the jacuzzi, we were served with hot tea.
  Sagada Tea is delish!
check out ths cozy lounges to just chill out


 Luljetta also have a restaurant by the hanging gardens. 
A game of scrabble, suman(sticky rice) with mangoes and iced lemongrass tea = life
After our snack and bonding over scrabble some of us went for massage while we prepare for the sunset.

Our last activity for the day was to catch the sunset at the infinity pool!
Amazing view during the day and at night you can overlook a cityscape of both parts of Antipolo and Manila. 
Thank you for the chill and relaxing weekend experience. We are so going back!

Yu'll find Mang Priring little shelter where hikers can stay and rest for a while. and the best part is... FREE COFFEE!  This is not your regular instant coffee. This is brewed Civet coffee. look it up  Civet coffee beans. Mang Piirng wasn't there when we arrived but his brother was willing enough to entertain us. He told stories and served coffee (he also sold ground civet coffee which I bought two packs XD)  photo by Joy Hernandez No the coffee is not from this cute kitty XD  We spotted campers near the summit.

Self | The Nannic Experience

How old do you guys think I am? I always have this intro gag to new friends guessing my age. Thanks to my Asian blood I never got higher my actual age, I usually get lower like early 20s or just right. It's quite fun and flattering honestly. Last December I finally hit my third decade, alarming? not really, but I myself can feel that yes I'm not getting any younger so I need to take care of myself. Come 2018,  I finally decided to get back to myself more and skin care is definitely one of them. For the past years, I never actually paid attention to my skincare. I just use regular soap and a facial foam on a daily basis. So I am grateful for the opportunity to try the Nannic Anti-Aging Facial by Europeanne Aesthetics. What is Nannic? Nannic International is a Belgian company that focuses on innovative cosmetic solutions for skin rejuvenation and improvement. Europeanne Aesthetics is the exclusive partner clinic of Nannic International here in Manila. Prep...

Travel | Roadtripping Tagaytay

It's one of those days when you just wanna go out somewhere at random and luckily your friends are into it too. Tagaytay city automatically sprung into mind because it is relatively near Manila so travel time wouldn't be an issue. Hello Taal Lake My friends and I decided drive down south. Since we headed off quite late in the afternoon, the plan was to stay overnight for the weekend. We arrived in the city proper at night so we stopped by Tootsie's first for dinner. Tootsie's Tagaytay is an all Filipino cuisine family restaurant along Aguinaldo highway.  The ambiance was homey and the food was great! After dinner we went ahead and looked for an inexpensive inn or hostel. Luckily it wasn't the peak season yet for tourist or else we would have a hard time getting a decent place to stay. **Travel tip: Overlooking views play a huge factor in hotel prices. If you don't mind this, check hotels off road or opposite the "view" side. Y...
