My best Relaxing Gift! Ever!

Christmas indeed is the best time of the year -- this is the season where it's too easy to share whatever it is that we have because we want to share happiness and joy to the people we love.  Last night was one of the best nights! Why? I got a wonderful treat from my brother -- Mika!


Out of the blue, he asked, "Te, gusto mong magpamasahe?" I made a dramatic response by saying "Mika, gusto mo akong ilibre ng masahe??".  He didn't expect that I would agree! But hey! why should I let go of that "rare" opportunity -- when i know it's his first "LIBRE!".


San Pablo (Laguna) already has an array of Spas and Massage Parlors and with it's cold weather it made it even relaxing.  That night, Mika chose to have his treat at Sparadiso.


I'm from Laguna and this is the first Spa that I've been.
It's not your usual Spa (in the metro) but it's unique.  Let's see why..

It's an old home built to cater a Spa (massage and nail care).
While we were waiting for our turn, we stayed in a private room

and we sipped our tea -- I am uncertain though if it's a tea or a hot calamansi juice -- either way -- we loved it.

We had Aromatherapy for our massage.  It's an hour and a half massage with scented oil.  We both enjoyed it!

It's very homey and the interiors were all warm and cozy!

A great gift to kick off this Christmas Season!
Again, Mika! I am proud of you and I wish you continue to be mature and blessed! One step at a time!

Samuel's Plate: A must in San Pablo!

I'm from San Pablo Laguna but ever since I got married, i rarely go home. These past few months I always see posts from my family that they were always eating at Samuel's Plate and i got curius.

Thus when we celebrated Father's Day I suggested that we all eat there so that Sweets and I can also have a taste and review of what this food haven can offer. 

Outside view is good, they have enough parking space outside their establishment and they are located in a not so crowded area.

On the inside, you will be welcomed by their bar and pastry stand! Hmmm!! You can indulge with some drinks or two (They don't have softdrinks).

 They haven't had their formal opening yet but this place was already a hit! 

From the image below you can see that they can fit around 50-70 pax all in one.

When we went there, there were only 2 floors but we were informed that a 3rd floor is a to be opened soon!

First is some appetizer to kick off the taste buds.. We had Nachos (ultimate favorite of Sweets).

They also gave a free appetizer which was good as well!

White bread dipped to their own mix of oil, soy souce and some herbs.

Another appetizer was the Mozorella Croquettes.

Then on the the main dish.

Sausage and Mash -- you got there three types of American Sausage and mashed potato.

We also had Braised Short Ribs!

Then Tilapia Parmigiana that had mouth watering cheese on top of it.

So deadly!

We had Pan Roasted Salmon Steak.

True to its name -- Krispy Kare Kare!

Then the salmon.

As mentioned earlier, they do not have carbonated drinks and thus we had water!

 Sharing with you as well their menu. So when you go there you have already reviewed their menu and you can odder immediately.

 Nevertheless, you can always ask their friendly staff on their best seller and you can never go wrong!

It will always be a great thing if good food are shared with loved ones!

Super hit as always!

 They serve their own pastry for desserts and you should also try them! 

Another satisfied customer!

That night at Cafelandia

It's one of those nights where we want to relax and share snobs and laughters! 

* Yes you've read it right, "snob", because we will not last an hour without talking sarcastically".  Without sarcasm then it's not a good conversation for us!

A new cafe was openned at San Pablo and its right beside Shakeys at Maharlika Highway. 

A cozy haven where you can have the perfect coffee break from your busy weekend! We figured to go and gather there because we (Diaz Family) are all together! 

Not your ordinary Cafe because aside from the ambiance, you get great coffee, tea, picca and pastries on a very affordable price! 

(It will always be a plus points for me).

Hmmm.. I can smell Love! 

I wonder where the other cookies went? Hehe! I love the coaster! 

Then here comes more fillers!! 

I can't wait to bring Sweets here!! Waaah!!
