Eurotel Hotel Naga City


Traveling is discovering. Seeing things beyond our usual daily scene is healthy in building one's confidence as it expands the views of the person taking the journey. Weather for business or pleasure, it gives us a larger picture of the world. Love the beach, the city lights, the party, the mountains et al. But when we go out of town, one thing that we need to settle before leaving our homes is... Accommodation! Of course, you need to have a place to stay. To sleep and rest your feet. to breathe a little before another day starts.



Traveling to Naga City for the first time gave me thrills! I was with my buddies Christine ( JovialWanderer ), Kara ( Travel Up ) and Estan ( Langyaw ) for a few days tour of the City and some great spots nearby. Since Kara's home is nearby, the 3 of us stayed in a very prestigeus hotel.




Eurotel Hotel Naga City has been our home during our stay. As they say it's a businessman's hotel but its more than that, they offer a very relaxing and luxurious accommodation that everyone in the family can appreciate. It's very clean and has this homey feel. 



The reception area has friendly and accommodating professionals attending our needs and let me add Manong Ariel (if i remember his name correctly) the security personnel who will open the doors for you cheerfully. The hotel is actually located in the welcoming Arc of the city. just beside the river where the Penafrancia parade will start this Sept 2014. So better book the rooms with the view of the river to maximize your staycation! 



Rooms, oh wow. It's divine! I feel like I'm a famous celebrity! very tidy, neat, and just have enough space for me to roam around, throw my bag and toss my stuff!!! love the Queen sized bed! i was like rolling and rolling and rolling in the deep! hehe. One more thing I love about my room... The SELFIE / OOTD MIRROR!!!oh yes yes yes! I enjoyed my narcissism very much!




Washroom, oh my word! love the shower!!!!! oh words, where art thou? lol I can't even describe the feeling of taking a bath with that high tech, modernized hydro massages!




When I though I already had enough of the glam stay, the Breakfast buffet... yum.. yum.. yum.. they offer an array of great breakfast stuff! be filled with your hearts desires from brewed coffee to newly cooked courses to delicious desserts and even fresh fruits!



Overall, my stay in Eurotel Naga gave me my needed accommodation and attention. The room was great, the corridors smells good, the breakfast is great and the staff are very hospitable. They are still upgrading their amenities and facilities during our stay to provide their guests the best experience they can give. Highly recommended for those who wants to feel coziness when out for business or for leisure. to top that, they have very affordable rates that oh, you certainly can't resist. More over, Eurotel Hotel Naga is very accessible to many great place you can visit when in Bicol so what more you can ask for?!
 Great Price! Great Accomodation! Great Food! and Great Location!
It's an all in Hotel, I can really tell!

White Pebbles Beach : Camarines Sur

White, black, grey and sometimes cream are usually the colours of the shores of famous beaches. A beach bummer who doesnt know how to swim ( me :p ) has been to many shorelines in and out the Philippines and rarely been to a coast line full of pebbles. In our recent trip to Naga City, with my great online writer friends Christine ( http://www.jovialwanderer.com/ ) , Kara ( http://www.traveling-up.com/ ) and Estan ( http://langyaw.com/ ), we were taken to a haven by our fellas from NagaX just after the coverage of the 1st Mt. Isarog Eco Challenge.


Pebbles as big as your favourite "Panghilod" (rock scrub ?), more or less as small as  a quail egg and some are as white as snow. What name would you think best fit the place? of course, White Pebble beach resort!



Strong blue skies fancied our afternoon visit. White Pebble beach is a definite place to go to during summer! Just a few minutes of private travel from  Naga Centro, your feet can feel the sea carved rocks on your feet.




Long stretch of white coated coast is just a feast in the eyes, plus the cool breeze from the ocean? sigh.. isn't it divine?


We settled in  a very big and nice bungalow in front of the beach that you can rent for only 3500. It has a billiard table inside, big kitchen, two big rooms, big washroom and a big resting area. yeah its pretty big for the price! sulit na sulit! (very affordable) Fabolous! There are other bungalows and cottages you can rent for a very negotiable price! perfect for family outing or even barangay beach day out!


Surprises kept on coming, just across the beach is a museum housing countless numbers of sea shells. From tiny ones to huge ones, from the typical sungka beads to shells that I've never seen before, from plain ones to multi-colored husks! Ah.May.Zing! Discovering some great stuff from the depth of the ocean in front of our eyes!


Boat was waiting for some cave discovering! Since it can only accommodate a minimal passengers, I decided to stay in the beach. You can ask the locals on how to rent a boat to take you to a cavern nearby. They can also assist you if you wish to do some diving as the area also hosts spots good for under water quests. 


My dear sissie Chrissy and I took the time to soak into the waters of the beach! oh!! the water is just perfect! not too cold and not even hot. just.. fine.. perfectly lukewarm, She's a great swimmer while I showed her how I "swim", first i take a scoop of water to my arms, then to my hair, then to my shoulders and hair again and then face! viola! I'm all wet and done swimming! LOL just kidding, of course i soaked myself in! Washing away those stress in my body. oh just so.. wow.


Estan, Kara and the rest came back and we were approached by their barangay captain. The people were smiling and very hospitable. Very Filipino. They share some stories about the place and even gave us delicious turons and oh oh oh my favourite!! fresh coconut!! oh copa cabana moment! 


Swimming, caving, shell museum gazings, billiards, even trekking are in store for those who will visit the place! But wait.. there's more.. Ahem.. Singing? they also have a videoke machine for rent! 


Relaxation and recreation rolled into one resort. No dull moment in this part of Camarines Sur. As the sun was about to set and we're about to board back to the town center, I have to say, White Pebble beach is a great place to visit. Shore, sun, water, sky and nature in a remarkable sanctuary, It defines why is it more fun in the Philippines, more fun in Bicol, more fun in Cam Sur.


For more details on how to go to White Pebble Beach,  visit Naga X website and like their facebook page.



Fila Pinas meet and greet event in SM Megamall

Volcanos. Ice and Fashion merged into one hot afternoon in Fila SM Megamall, June 21st 2014. This power combination was made possible by Fila Philippines as they invited the public to meet, have a photo op and autograph with the Philippine Volcano, Fabio Ide, Tessa Prieto-Valdez and Michael Martinez.



Hunk Celebrity Fabio Ide is one of the hottest promoter of the Philippines leading athletic brand. It's pretty nice to see how approachable he is and how he enjoyed taking selfies with his fans. He's known for his Adonis-ish physique and comic antics in some of the shows he's in. The way he tries to speak straight Filipino tickles his audience to the core.


Tessa Prieto-Valdez is the one and only fashion extraordinaire I admire the most. Extreme and  Avant-garde attire on most of her guestings definitely makes her the total head turner. She's also one of the elite endorser of Fila and was jovial in signing autographs and striking that smile in every flash.



Fila is a proud sponsor of the pride of the Philippines in the field of rugby, The Volcanos. Hot sexy men in the trendiest shoes and apparels, what more can you ask for? these guys let their guards down and came close to their supporters. 



Good looks, humble heart and adorable personality, the newest member of the Fila league of endorsers, Michael Martinez. Cute young Michael made history when he made the world roar in his spectacular ice skating rink prowess and the idea that he's from a tropical country where no snow has even fall. Fans from all ages shivered in kiligness when he smiles and talks like he's just a friend next door. 


Fila SM Megamall branch was filled with smiles as enthusiasts went in, congratulated and wished the athletes luck in their future athletic battles. When our fellow kababayans did wacky shots with the fashion icons of this generation present in the event.
