Fontana Equals 'Fun'tana

-
The last day of Summer, which was actually the first day of the rainy season, became the last opportunity for my office-mates to go to a Water Park, forget about work and just spend the day bonding and enjoying ourselves. So, last June 1 we all went to Fontana Water Park in Clark, Pampanga as part of our staff recreational program. It has been a while since I came to Fontana. The first time I was there, I was with fellow doctors to the barrios also enjoying a weekend of fun and sun devoid of stress and worries about work.



Fontana Hot Springs Leisure Park is located along C.M. Recto Highway at the Clark Free Zone in Pampanga, almost a 2-3 hour drive from Manila depending on traffic conditions.

You can check in in one of their villas or in their hotel. Checking in a villa is almost like having your own house in a subdivision where a huge water park is located. Depending on the distance, you can either walk from your villa to the water park or to the sports center or call for a free shuttle instead. Each villa is complete with amenities, such as central air conditioning, kitchen and dining, bedrooms and living rooms, bathrooms and a servant’s quarter.





Of course, you won't be staying the whole day inside your villa right? The Water Park features a world-class Wave Pool that can electronically produce various types of waves and Three Giant Aqua Thrill Slides. It also has a Lazy River. Kids can play and have fun at the Water Factory and Pirate Ship. It also features an Olympic Size Pool, Hot Spring and Lagoon Pool which are all situated in Upper Water Park.














I am grateful for this opportunity to just relax and have fun. I think it is important that one should de-stress and just enjoy for the pure sake of enjoying. I think Fontana is one of the perfect places to do just that.

You can read more details about Fontana in their official website.

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
