New Year 2013

E and I spent the whole Christmas season in Manila and it was great! We had so much memorable moments with our families. As much as we love to travel, we know that there really is no place like home.

To welcome 2013 , our family decided on an overnight stay at the Mandarin Oriental in Makati.  We got to stay at the Club floor which was just perfect!  Staying at the Club floor meant free cocktails up to 8PM and free breakfast the next morning.  Cocktails was our dinner!  We stayed at the lounge from 5PM to 9PM.  While other guests went on to their respective New Year dinners, we had the lounge to ourselves. We had unlimited wine and liquor too!

Christmas 2012

The perfect Christmas celebration is being with family. Our family spent Christmas Eve and the 2nd birthday of my niece A at the New World Renaissance Hotel.  We started out the celebration with snacks in the afternoon of take out Cafe Mediterranean pizza from Greenbelt.  We went to the Christmas Eve Mass at Santuario San Antonio in Forbes and then on to Noche Buena at the hotel.  New World M2M Cafe's buffet spread was quite good.  There was Japanese, roast beef and turkey carvings, smoked salmon, oysters and crabs.  And to top it all, unlimited drinks, which included red wine and champagne.  And free coffee or tea!

Happy Birthday Dear A!

Unlimited red wine!
