A De Luxe Experience

Whenever I go to Baguio City, since I don't have a car, there's only one bus liner I have in mind to take me to the lovelies city of the north - the Victory Liner. And though, I'm kinda "kuripot" when it comes to spending my money on transportation, I won't spending more on transportation again after experiencing the convenience and satisfaction that their De Luxe buses has given to me on my recent trip to Baguio City.

Scheduled at 8:15 p.m., it was so nice to know that Victory has been so keen to their bus schedules until now. I was surprise to be on-board 30 minutes before the scheduled trip, and more surprised to know that we left at exact time. I dunno if the timing of my travel has something to do about, but it felt good to be on time - it gave me a feeling that this trip is gonna awesome!

This De Luxe trip that I got in to has no stopover since it has its own comfort room on-board. Aside from that, it also has a Wi-Fi and free snacks to enjoy while lounging on its soft and comfortable lazy boy chairs, and has a steward inside who is ready to serve or assist you on your needs.

Fright Night at Nuvali NightSky Cinema

If I'm not mistaken, this is the third time that I've attended and enjoy a night of movies under the beautiful clear sky of NUVALI in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. This time, my experience is a bit different, because aside from spending the night with some former colleagues, well, what we had that night is something that scared the hell out me. Yes, just before the Halloween, I had a fright night at NUVALI NightSky Cinema.

Co-presented again by Sky Cable, this NightSky Cinema featured three thrilling and horroriffic movies that made everyone jump out of the cushion, covered their eyes and screamed at the top of their lungs. We had the  Zombieland, which is starred by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin; then followed by The Sixth Sense by M. Night Shyamalan, which stars Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment; and finally, the most scary movie that night, The Conjuring, which starts Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.

This is the first time, if I remember it right, that Sky Cable and NUVALI offer the NightSky Cinema with such theme, I personally think that this a great idea to celebrate the approaching Halloween. But if you think that all of the stuff that we had there were all tricks, well, some movie-goers got to enjoy some treats from the games and food fair that this event hosted.

How was your October?

October may be over, but for someone who had a great and exciting month of October like me, it will always be remembered! Special thanks to Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila for inviting me to their annual Oktoberfest celebration, I get to learn how Germans drink and party all-night while enjoying their very own music, food and style.

Last October 18, together with some blogger-friends, we get to enjoy what it is like to be in Germany's Oktoberfest through the wonderful accommodation of the German Club of Manila and Sofitel Manila. A festivity that spells beer, beer and more beer, everyone definitely had a great time dancing to Germany's music while munching on some German dishes and gulping some beer.

I think I had more than what I supposed to have, but come on, I rarely to go parties like this, so yeah, I enjoyed every minute of it - down to my last sausage, down to my last beer, down to my last click of my camera.
