Easter Sunday at Loreland Farm Resort

Sunday is really a family day. My family decided to have a day swimming/outing in Loreland Farm Resort located at Sitio Loreland, Brgy. San Roque, Antipolo City, few kilometers away from our house in Antipolo. We received a 10% discount on entrance fee because the owner of the subdivision where we live and the owner of Loreland is the same. Check-out for other promotions at http://www.loreland.com.ph/page.php?promotions.

We had fun though we had no enough time to explore the place. There are so many swimming pools deployed everywhere. There are many cottages and room accommodations that you can choose from. For the list of rates, you may refer to http://www.loreland.com.ph/page.php?rates.

The place can be also a wedding venue. They also offer salon and spa, and sports recreation like Basketball Court, Billiard Hall, Camp Tipolo Adventureland, and the Zipline. The Resort also has a Chapel and the Station of the Cross,

I'm sharing the following pictures. Enjoy! :)

Cuenca on Maundy Thursday

My boyfriend and I had plans for this Holy Week. We should be both in Malolos, Bulacan from today until Saturday. But because of unexpected family plans, I was not able to go with him. My family needs to visit my mother's youngest brother because he's very ill. On the bright side, we went to thousand steps in Don Juan or better known as Lumampao. The steps are the gateway to Taal Lake. We just took at about 250 steps. When I was young, we already went down to lake, but because we don't have that much time today, we weren't able to finish the steps. There was no electricity the first time I went to this place but now there are light posts installed everywhere.

The most popular destination here in Cuenca is the Mt Maculot for mountaineers. For information about this mountain, please visit http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/2007/08/mt-maculot-685.html.

Anyway, I'll just share some of our pictures. :)

Mosaic of First Year Memories

Yay! It's 18th of April! Same day last year, someone became part of my life. Someone who is so insensitive, less sweet and less thoughtful; but here we are, we are on our "paper" year. At first, I find it hard thinking what should I give to him. I googled all possible gifts that will be memorable for him (yeah, call me hopeless romantic, while he's not... hihihi), until I decided to create a photo mosaic. I've searched for a photo mosaic generator. I chose AndreaMosaic but the portable one. I dowloaded it from here. Then I selected all of our photos from april 2010. It's not easy for me to gather photos since most of our photos are in group. But luckily I had collected enough number of pictures of the two of us only.

And hola! This is the output of the generated photo mosaic. To see it closer, please click THIS.

I had already adjusted the size of the photo. The original output is 40x60 with 40.5MB.

I want to surprise Mark, but I have no choice but to tell him about this because we are always together. We went to Megamall. At first I want it printed in canvass with boxed frame, but its so expensive. Then we went to Island Photo. I chose a 20x30 photo enlargement in linen paper. We had the printed picture after 3 days.

Then we tried to go to SM Megamall Homeworld to look for frame that will fit the 20x30 picture. But we failed. We went to Frame Plus at Bldg A Upper Ground of SM Megamall, and inquire for frames. The price is fair so I decided to order a 20x30 frame. After 3 days, we already received the frame, then they put the picture that we brought.

And here it is:

I already gave it to him 3 days before our anniversary, that's why I already have his photo with my gift. I hope he likes it.

To Mark, Happy 1st Anniversary! :)
