Had a busy day with Jeanne. Very early in the morning, we drove Michelle to her office to catch the bus for their company team building activity. Back home, I cooked bacon and eggs. Yum! After breakfast and a quick shower, it was off to Hyundai for periodic maintenance service. Jeanne and I watched Iron Man while waiting. As soon was it was done, we took off to Gymboree for play and class. After class, we had lunch at Friday’s and shopped at High Street for a birthday gift for Tomas. Once we got a gift, it was off again to Tomas’s birthday party in Quezon City. After the party, I was thinking of dropping by a mall but we we’re already tired so I decided not to continue. As it was, Jeanne was so tired and wanted to be carried home. But I had my hands were full and couldn’t. She threw a tantrum but we managed. Whew!
In addition to the entrance fee, you have to pay for each ride at a another ticket booth inside the complex. The queue can get long so you should already get tickets for all the rides you plan on getting:
Michelle, Jeanne, and I, along with my in-laws headed out of town for the long Holy Weekend. We decided on it rather late so I had a hard time looking for accommodations. I tried the hotels but they were all fully booked. I learned about transient houses and didn’t like them. Nor the idea. I figured, since you’re at the ocean, might as well stay near it.
So I looked around for a beach resort and finally found one that looked promising: Bamboo Paraiso. It has a pretty informative website and I found a good blog review. I called the resort and talked to the manager, Gerry Lacuata. Initially there was no availability but he promised to check and get back to me. After a few hours, he informed me that there’s been an availability. I called and we quickly sealed the deal.
Fitch Ratings has given the country a much-coveted investment grade rating. From BB+, it is now BBB-. That’s nothing short of awesome! Maybe it’s just what’s needed to get more portfolio investments (caveat emptor) and maybe even direct investments flowing in. Things are really looking up! But need to be extra careful when things are looking up. Quite easy for things to take a tumble :P
