AZALEA RESIDENCES BAGUIO: TRULY YOUR HOLIDAY HAVEN

      Despite our numerous world class beaches, it is the beautiful city of Baguio that has been hailed as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. With it's colder weather and fresh air, it comes to no surprise that people flock to the city of Pines for a relaxing break. 

     Because Baguio has been a Pinoy vacation favorite for decades, the itinerary is usually the same.. Horseback Riding at Wright Park, searching for finds at the Ukay Ukay, Buying delectable treats at Good Shepherd, Biking around Burnham Park, among many others seem to be the staples, and no matter how many times you've gone to Baguio, no trip is complete without it. 

     With so much things to do at Baguio, coming up with an itinerary shouldn't be a problem. In fact, your biggest obstacle would probably be finding the time to fit everything you'd want to do it your given time frame. When planning your vacation, I highly recommend choosing a hotel at the heart of the city. A place strategically located so that it wouldn't be too difficult to get to the city's top tourist attractions.

    A place where, even for just a few days, you'll feel right at home. One place truly does exist in the city of Baguio, and I'm excited to tell you all about my wonderful experience at Azalea Residences.. Your Holiday Haven!

THE CORNER MARKET FOOD HALL AT PODIUM: MEAT DEPOT

      The sparkling new renovation of Podium Mall opened up opportunities for more shops and restaurants to settle into the bustling Ortigas center. Recently, a sprawling Food Hall opened, named, "The Corner Market". Spanning roughly around 1,200 square meters, The Corner Market is set to house 17 food establishments in its massive halls.  

      Though not all 17 are operational yet, your friendly neighborhood Pickiest Eater made the ultimate sacrifice for his beloved readers, to try the food stalls that have opened their doors at the Corner Market.. Where good food is just around the corner!        

          As I entered The Corner Market, it was The Meat Depot that immediately caught my eye. The sizzle of the steaks could be heard from where I was standing, and the aroma of cooked meat was undeniable. 

DISCOVERY PRIMEA MAKATI: TAPANADE

     I've been meaning to visit the restaurants at Discovery Primea for quite some time now, but with my work and all, visiting Makati has become increasingly difficult. A lot of my food blogger friends have been raving about it, further amplifying my agony. Thankfully, I was able to spend the weekend at the Discovery Primea (more on that in my upcoming Vlog!), giving me the opportunity to try two of their restaurants, including the flagship cafe, Tapanade.

SAILING THE HIGH SEAS ON STAR CRUISES SUPERSTAR VIRGO

         I've always been fascinated with the thought of Cruises. I would always joke with Rina that the moment we win the lotto, we'd book a trip on a cruise ship to the Bahamas just so we could finally experience a luxury ship on the seas. 

       But you see, that's the popular misconception with Cruises. Not all Cruise lines cost an arm and a leg. Star Cruises in particular, offers a "High Seas" promotion that offers you the full Luxury cruise line experience, without having to break bank.  

        Fortunately for us, one weekend, some of my friends from The KTG and I joined other blogger friends on board Star Cruises Superstar Virgo to sail the high seas!
