Lunch at Melo’s The Home of Certified Angus Beef

We just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary last weekend. Since my husband's business trips are so unpredictable, we did not plan for a vacation or staycation. But I have a few suggestions for my husband and he agreed to have lunch or dinner at Melo’s. He ate at Melo’s before and he liked their steak too. 

Ang liit ng Lobster Tail, additional P500 na yun sa promo rate nila. 

I’m a meat lover so one of my comfort food is steak. When you say steak, Melo’s is the most famous steakhouse in the country. I haven't read any bad reviews about Melo's steak so I’ve been meaning to try this restaurant but of course, the price is so steep. I was really glad when I learned about their promo.

Reservation is needed but I told my husband that we would just reserve once he got home. Good thing that I did not reserve immediately because when my husband went home last Friday, he had a problem with his luggage. His luggage was missing so we could not go out to celebrate our anniversary. We’re waiting for his luggage to be delivered to home.

Yesterday, I told my son to change his clothes. 

Me: Ethan, change ka ng clothes, kakain tayo sa labas.  
Ethan: What are we going to eat? 
Me: Steak 
Ethan: Ahhh, Jollibee 

I can’t stop laughing because he thought that we were going to eat burger steak of Jollibee. But I told him that we would eat a special steak because it was our wedding anniversary celebration. For the last several years, we always celebrated our anniversary with our son. 


My husband called the restaurant to reserve and off we went to Melo’s at the Westgate Alabang branch. The restaurant was not big and even though it was lunchtime, the place was not crowded. Upon being seated, they gave us the menu and Citibank menu, and we ordered Set D, E and F. Even though there is already a promo, the price is still not friendly but since this is our anniversary, there is a reason to splurge. 

Set D: 8 - 10 ounces Angus Steak and Lobster Tail 
Citi Rate: P1599 
Regular Rate: P3198  

Set E: 8 - 10 ounces Angus Steak 
Citi Rate: P1099 
Regular Rate: P2400  

Set F: 8 ounces Angus Burger with Truffle Fries 
Citi Rate: P300 
Regular Rate: P800 

The set includes a fresh roll with premium butter, soup of the day or salad. While waiting for our steak, they served the garlic bread which we liked. 


My husband chose Caesar Salad and we chose Pumpkin Soup. Taste is just ok since I’m not fond of pumpkin. 


Since we ordered a set meal, they did not slice the beef in front of us. Good thing that our table was near the cutting table so we were able to take a peek. 


After a few minutes, they served the steak. The steak is so big and it is really hard to finish the serving but since it is expensive, kelangan ubusin. I’m happy with my steak, it is tender, juicy, and flavorful. Now I know, why Melo’s is the home of certified Angus beef. You will enjoy every bite of the steak.


The Angus Burger is just okay according to my son and husband. Medyo matigas because my husband chose well done for my son. 


Service is good, the waitstaffs are attentive, they always refill our drinks and remove used plates. We did not have a staycation this year but we enjoyed our steakcation. I still have a few steakhouses on my bucket list so I’m still waiting for a promo so I could also try it.

When my Son had Hives or Urticaria?

Almost two weeks ago, while we were studying, my son was complaining about his itchy back and he asked me to scratch his back. I slightly scratched his back and put some baby powder. I asked him, what happened to his back and he said, maybe ant bites. I saw few red bumps on his hand and legs too, napaisip pa ko kung san nakagat ng ants. Nag-garden ba sila? 

Then the following day, while we’re studying, I saw the red bumps again on his body and I asked my son, kung ano ba ginagawa nila sa school? San ba siya nagpupunta at bakit may mga rashes siya sa katawan. He said, sa room lang daw sila. I was a little bit worried because it doesn’t look like an ant bite and nakikita ko lang siya sa hapon and dumadami sa gabi. I gave him an antihistamine. I started searching the internet because I was really clueless. 


When we woke up, I did not see the red bumps anymore so he went to school. When he got home and we started studying his lessons, I saw red bumps again and he kept on sneezing, as in non-stop na naluluha na siya. After dinner, I gave him an antihistamine. I was in panic mode already because the red bumps were all over his face and body. From Wednesday, padami siya ng padami. I messaged my husband about this but because of the time difference, he was not answering. I messaged my friend and she said, it happened to her son too and she even rushed her son to the ER. She advised me to monitor my son and just call her if I need to go to the hospital.



I could not sleep because I was observing the red bumps. I kept on asking my son kung hindi ba siya hirap huminga. He has colds too, so paranoid ko baka hirap huminga. My husband messaged me na baka “hives” daw. I started searching the internet because I really have no idea kung bakit nagkaroon siya. We ate bistik tagalog, tocino, daing na bangus and adobong chicken for that week. 

The following day, I did not see the red bumps but I told my son that we would go to the hospital. My son was worried, “How can we go to the hospital?” daw. My husband was not home so we had no choice but to commute. I know how to go to the Asian Hospital but the problem is, I don’t know how can I go home. Yes, that is my dilemma, di ko alam san sasakyan pauwi. I asked my friend for directions, kung san ba terminal ng jeep.


 Anyway, the doctor examined my son and he asked me kung ano kinain namin. He said, my son has “Urticaria”. So my husband was correct when he said, baka hives. The doctor prescribed me a new “antihistamine” and he said, to avoid eating foods with preservatives. In my son’s case, feeling namin yung tocino ang dahilan. So I told him, bawal muna ang tocino sa lunch niya. He likes tocino and lechon macau kasi sa baon. My son will take the medicine twice a day for seven days and tomorrow is the last day of intake. So far, after two days of taking the antihistamine, wala na siya red bumps.


According to Wikipedia, hives or urticaria is a kind of skin rash with red, raised itchy bumps. It can occur as a result of allergic reaction to a medication, food, insect bites, cold temperature, or psychological stress. 


Before going home, my son and I ate at Shakey’s. Napagod at nagutom kami sa biyahe. Matagal pa paghihintay namin na mapuno ang jeep kaysa sa travel. My son kept on saying “Mommy, ang tagal” or “I’m so bored” (repeat for the nth time). He wanted to go home na and hindi umaalis ang jeep. Imagine, more than an hour kami sa terminal ng jeep. Waah! 




Anyway, we ordered a Bunch of Lunch and Pannacotta. The presentation is not nice, ang layo niya sa picture. Tunaw na nung serve sa amin and the taste is just ok. It is not worth it for P115.

2 Days in Singapore

Time flies so fast, a few days from now, we’ll be celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary and 10 years ago we celebrated our first wedding anniversary in Singapore. It was a last minute decision. I booked this flight almost two months before our travel trip. 

I have to change status and renew my passport because my passport is still under my single name. Good thing I was able to renew my passport and got my passport, two weeks before our trip. This was not my first time to go out of the country but I was still excited because this was the first out of the country together with my hubby.   




Day 1 Manila to Singapore 

There is no time difference between Singapore and Manila. I brought USD and good thing there’s money changer inside the airport. It was past 12AM already so we took a cab to get to our hotel, I already forgot the name. lol! The taxi fare is around 32 SGD, which is very expensive for my budget. 


Due to limited time, I did not do any research and I just booked a hotel without considering the location. I did not know that it is located in Little India, it is athree-starr hotel so I did not expect so much. All we need is a decent room with private bathroom since we will be out the whole day. 


After check-in, we immediately took a nap before we start our Singapore tour. Because of the flight schedule, we only have two whole days to enjoy SG. 


Day 1 Evening flight to Singapore 

Day 2 Singapore City Tour, Singapore Zoo + Night Safari 
Day 3 Orchard Road + Sentosa  
Day 4 Early morning flight to Manila 

Day 2 Singapore City Tour, Singapore Zoo + Night Safari 


After eating our complimentary breakfast we went out to look for travel and tours agency. There were tour packages posted in our hotel but we still went out and look for other options. I did not have any itinerary so I really had no idea how to get to the tourist spots. After spending 32SGD for just one taxi ride, we thought that it is cheaper to avail tour packages. 




Singapore City Tour  

Four our first package, we availed Half Day Singapore City Tour. We visited Esplanade Theater, Merlion, Chinatown, Botanic Garden, Souvenir Shops and Little India.  It was a quick trip to each attraction.  


After the city tour, we immediately look for a restaurant where we could eat our lunch because our next itinerary is Singapore Zoo at 1PM.


Singapore Zoo + Night Safari  


Singapore Zoo is one of the must-see in Singapore, there are several shows and attractions available in the zoo. There is also feeding time which you can participate for a fee. It is very different compared to other zoos that we have visited because they have “open concept”. How I wish we have this kind of zoo in the country.  




Singapore Zoo is so big and since we were on a group tour we were not able to explore the whole zoo. Of course, we need to follow the tour guide. 


After SG Zoo, we immediately fell in line at Night Safari even the gate was not yet open. We took an early dinner while waiting so we can ride the first tram. I also booked this tour to see the nocturnal animals. You can explore the park via walking trails or tram. Of course, we choose the tram because we no longer have the energy to walk. 




There are shows but we only watched the Creatures of the Night Show which we also enjoyed. We bought Ben & Jerry’s ice cream before leaving.   


Day 3 Orchard Road + Sentosa Tour


Yesterday trip was really tiring hence we decided not to book any morning tour so we could sleep and rest. Since we have no itinerary after breakfast, we decided to explore SG by commuting. We want to experience the MRT of Singapore. 




Most of the shopping malls were closed because it’s Chinese New Year so we really have nothing to do except to walk and take pictures. 

Sentosa Tour


After lunch, we checked out early and left our luggage in the reception area. Then off we went to Sentosa Island. I just booked Sentosa Tour Package and I have no idea that we will ride a cable car. From Mount Faber, we need to ride the cable car to get to Sentosa Island. This was our first time to ride in cable car so I was a little bit excited but really scared. I’m afraid of heights so I really tried my best not to look down. It was a very long ride for me and I was glad I survived. 


Itinerary for the day: Mount Faber, Underwater World (closed), Images of Singapore and Musical Fountain. 


Images of Singapore is a museum where we spend most of our time, we’re so busy taking pictures and we had no idea that our group members were already waiting for us. We’re the second to the last group na lumabas. Kahiya! Cause of delay pa. That is really the downside of availing group tour you can’t manage your own time. 

Underwater World is their version of Ocean Park; it was small compared to our very own Manila Ocean Park


We missed the Musical fountain because we need to leave early so we would not miss our flight. We left Sentosa and went back to our hotel to get our luggage. We took a taxi on our way to the airport to catch out evening flight. That was really a short trip so I promised myself that we will go back to Singapore. Check below our trip last 2014 and 2016.

Mel Gibson Welcomes His 9th Child

A dad again at 61! Mel Gibson welcomed his 9th child on January 24. The little guy weighed in at five pounds, five ounces, and is doing well. This is his first child with girlfriend Rosalind Ross, and makes the seventh son for Mel. He has seven children with his former wife, Robyn Moore, (a daughter, Hannah, 36 -- and six sons -- twins Edward and Christian, 34, William, 31, Louis, 28, Milo, 26, and Thomas, 17.) Robyn and Mel separated in 2006, although their divorce was not finalized until 2011. He also has a 7-year-old daughter, Lucia, with his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. The 61-year-old actor and the 26-year-old champion equestrian vaulter/ writer Ross have been dating for about two years.



Mel and Rosalind named their new baby boy Lars, and in an interview with Mario Lopez, Gibson said that he was doing “just great” and “eating like a little pig”! A new baby is not the only exciting thing going on in Mel's life these days! His latest movie “Hacksaw Ridge”, was recently nominated for six Oscar nominations, including one for best picture, and the best director nomination for Mel. Sources also say that Mel is celebrating his tenth year of sobriety this year, following his arrest in 2006 which caused him to get sober. No matter how you slice it, Mel Gibson is a very busy guy, and we are so excited for him and his happy news!

3 Days in Boracay

Boracay is a very popular tourist destination in the Philippines and it is always included in one of the best islands in the world. So there is no doubt that Filipinos and foreigners always visit this place. I’ve been meaning to visit Boracay for the longest time but I had a hard time booking a trip because I couldn’t score a seat sale.


Caticlan and Kalibo flights are very in demand during seat sales, good thing that I was able to book a promo flight via Zestair. As far as I can remember I only paid less than P2,500 for our roundtrip ticket (3 pax).

It’s been six years already since we went there and I hope we can revisit the island because our 3-day stay was not enough. We only had one whole day to enjoy Boracay island because day 1 and day 2 were our travel time from Manila to Boracay and vice versa.

Day 1 

From Kalibo Airport, it took us more or less three hours to reach Boracay white beach. We rode Southwest bus on our way to Caticlan, from jetty port we rode a boat to Boracay Island and a tricycle going to white beach.


How to Get to Caticlan: 

Our trip was in February 2011 so I'm pretty sure there is a big increase in the rate below. You can reach Boracay via Caticlan or Kalibo flight.

Caticlan Airport: you can walk or hire a tricycle to get to jetty port.
Kalibo Airport: you can either take a van or bus to get to jetty port.

Van rate: P200 Bus (Southwest or Island Star Express): P250
Jetty Port Boat pass: P30
Environmental fee: P75
Jetty Port Terminal Fee: P50

Going to white beach, you can hire a tricycle for P20/each or P100 special trip.

We stayed in Island Nook, it is located in Station 2 and near the highway so it is still a long walk to the beach. It offers modern basic accommodation with private CR. They have a restaurant too so just in case you're hungry, you don’t need to go far.

After our tiring travel to Boracay Island, we decided to stay in our room after check-in. We just went out to the beach for our dinner.

Day 2 

There are so many things that you can do in Boracay and most people say that 3 days are not enough to enjoy the beach but we only have 3 days and 2 nights to enjoy Boracay. And because of our limited time, we just enjoy the beach.

Enjoy the sun + sand + beach till sunset 







Visit D’Mall for pasalubong and souvenirs.

Mt. Luho Viewpoint

We have a son in tow so we could not do any water activities. We just visited Mt. Luho Viewpoint. Mt Luho Viewpoint is the tallest peak in Boracay so you can see the 360 view of the island.


After eating our lunch, we decided to go to Mt Luho via tricycle; the rate is P300 back and forth. I know that you can still haggle for the price but we forgot to do it. If you are an adventurous type, you can choose to go there via ATV or Buggy Car. The price may vary depending on the season. P400 for ATV and 800 for Buggy Car, it is for a 1-hour ride.

Mt. Luho entrance fee: P50 

On our way back to the white beach, we passed by Bulabog beach.

Food Trip in Boracay

There are so many restaurants in Boracay, it range from cheap to expensive ones so it would not be hard for you to choose from. I have read so many blogs and forums about the must-try food and drinks in Boracay and here are some of the foods and drinks that we have tried during our stay.

Island Kebab 

We have stayed in Island Nook so we were able to try almost everything on their menu. The price is affordable and the taste is also good. But I did not like the taste of their Kebab. We have tried their Bangsilog, Trondzilog, Tocilog, French toast, Kebab, and Kevins’ Bacon. Bambooze Buffet The tastes of the food and ice tea are all good. P240 buffet dinner/ pax Free bottomless iced tea 50% discount (children under 10)

Jonah’s Fruit Shake and Snack Bar 

They say that this is the best milkshake on the island but I did not enjoy their shake considering the price of P90 + 10% service charge. The taste is good but I did not find anything special about it. We have tried banana choco peanut and tropical shake. We did not like the banana choco peanut shake but they said that it is their best seller. I have tried other shakes in other stores for P50 which I like more.

Crazy Crepes 

I like crepes and I love crazy crepes. The price is P125 above, additional P25 if you want a scoop of ice cream.

Pancake House 

Dinner at Pancake House and we were so disappointed with the food and service. Ang tigas ng kanin.

Andok’s 

Bought some food before we left for our baon (lunch at the airport).

Day 3 

We availed the one-way transfer of Island Nook so the van picked us up at the hotel. The travel is still the same, the only difference is may nag-aasikaso ng ticket namin. We were so early at the airport only to find out that our flight was canceled. Nasa South Korea pa daw ang plane namin. Waah! We stayed for almost half a day in the airport, it is one of the moments that I don’t want to experience especially when you have a toddler in tow.

Now I know, why people keep coming back to Boracay, the beach is really beautiful. You can’t help but really fall in love with the place, very fine white sand and sky blue water. My 3-day stay is not really enough to enjoy the place. But I know that this will not be the last time, I will be back, hopefully soon.

Hubby revisited Boracay during their company team building and experienced island hopping during his trip. And of course, I asked him to buy the famous calamansi cupcake at Real Coffee and Tea Cafe in Boracay.

How to Organize a Fishing Vacation for a Group

I love nothing more than taking photos of my travels, not only do they provide wonderful memories for me to look at later on down the years, but it also gives me a chance to snap some of the finest landscapes around the globe. Whenever possible I like to combine my 3 loves into one, fishing, traveling, and photography, and each year I try to organize a trip for me and my friends to head off on a vacation where we can fish to our heart’s content, and of course, take photos whilst doing so.

Organizing a fishing trip can be a little testing and if you want to put a tour together for you and your fishing friends then here are some tips on doing so.


Go Professional 

When it comes to actually heading out on the water to your chosen destination then I would absolutely recommend hiring a tour company to help you out. We went to Miami last year and without using one of the Miami fishing charters group options then we would never have been able to get to the best fishing spots. It was the first time that I have used a charter for the group and I will be doing so again this year, why bother trying to find the best places to fish when there are companies out there who have fished there all their lives, pay the money and go with the pros. 

Get The Money 

First When people commit to joining your fishing expedition it is vital that you get the money from them before you book up. A couple of years ago I made a group booking on my credit card and trusted that everyone who said that they wanted to go, would do so. Come the eleventh hour and 3 people dropped out before they had paid, this left me with the unenviable task of trying to find others to fill the space or risk losing a great deal of money. I was lucky enough to find a few more people who can take the spots but ever since then I have learned to get the money from people before going. 

Book and Plan, Nothing More 

If you are organizing a fishing trip for a group then don’t take on every ounce of the responsibility, I have learned over the years that you should simply find the destination, book the fishing tours, flights and hotels and then let everyone fend for themselves. Too many times when abroad people would be asking me what was on the agenda for the next day or what restaurant we would be eating at. You are the planner of the main events and nothing more, make this clear to the group and once you are on tour, their free time is exactly that, theirs. 

These are just a few things that I’ve learned throughout my time planning group fishing trips, I thoroughly enjoy doing it but there are certainly a few areas that you need to watch out for to ensure it is all smooth sailing, no pun intended.

This is a guest post, you can read my personal fishing adventure here: Fishing Adventure in Norway 

Weekend Bonding

We started our year in Sagada but after that trip, I noticed that we don’t have weekend getaway anymore. Most of the time we just stay at home since my husband is back to work. Our weekend bonding now is always errands, yes, paying bills and groceries. I’m not complaining but I’m looking forward to summer break so at least we could have a vacation. 



Before January ends, we went to Furniture Source Philippines to buy Kallax cabinet and then we dropped by at Wilcon and Alabang Town Center. We had lunch at Pepper Lunch, we ordered Big Ribeye Steak P660, Beef Pepper Rice P295, Miso Soup, Ice cream and drinks. 



 

I was a little bit disappointed because I ordered Big Ribeye Steak P660 and when they served the order, I was looking for the mashed potato and we were advised that they replaced the mashed potato with monggo sprouts because they don’t have mashed potato. They should inform us that there is no mashed potato, because that is the reason why I ordered Big Ribeye Steak. If it is not available, I will just order Pepper Steak.




And I’m not happy with my meat, it doesn’t look fresh. Look at the color, brown na ang kulay. Ang layo sa dati namin order. My husband ordered Miso Soup but it was not hot. This time, we’re not satisfied with our order.

Dinner at Pepper Lunch  

After lunch, we saw Dino Play at Alabang Town Center. We just took pictures outside and we did not let my son play. As usual, namamahalan ako sa ticket, hehehe!

Shangri-la Hotel in Jakarta Indonesia

If you’re a regular of this blog, you know for sure that my husband is not fond of taking pictures so even he’s always out of town or out of the country, there are no souvenir pictures. But after his Myanmar trip, I told him to take pictures of his trip so I can share it on my blog and at least I can have a glimpse of those countries. And he did, so now I have something to share on this blog even I’m not traveling. 


Anyway, two weeks ago my husband went to Indonesia. He usually stays at Hotel Mulia, which he considered one of the best hotels that he stayed so far in Asia. But during his last trip, he stayed at Shangri-la Hotel because this is nearer to his office but because of traffic, mas matagal pa naging biyahe niya compared to Hotel Mulia. 


This is the well-lighted room. 





Toiletries are the same, nothing special. But the bathroom has a bathtub. 



When my husband was sending me the photos, I really remembered our staycation in EDSA Shangri-la because of the room, restaurant, and pool. They look the same. 




They even have a wet play area which is a big advantage if you have kids. I’m not sure if they also have Cubs training. 




Read: Birthday Staycation at EDSA Shangri-la







The room package includes a buffet breakfast at SATOO. The restaurant has 12 open kitchen stations that serve Asian and International cuisines. Since traffic is so bad in Jakarta, my husband just ate a la carte dinner at SATOO too.






As always, the service is good. The only thing that we did not like is we need to make a follow-up pa for the floating charge. Upon check-in, you need to make a downpayment (Number of days x 2) so my husband paid 4 nights x 2. He was advised that it would be canceled after 7 Days. But two weeks had passed and I can still see the floating charge and it is eating up our credit card limit. Good thing that 2 days after our follow-up, it was canceled. 

You can also use your Golden Circle Membership to earn GC points or an Airline Loyalty Card to earn miles. My husband chose the miles and it will be reflected after 4 weeks. I told my husband, next time just choose GC points since we can exchange them for room awards, upgrade awards, food, or even spa vouchers. If we want miles, we can also convert the GC points to miles. 

When we followed up on the 500 Miles, we were advised that they already credited it (February 10), it takes time to credit the miles so I think it is better to use the Golden Circle Membership.

That Thing Called “Silent Stones”

If you are working, most of the companies offer Annual Physical Check-up for free. We all know that APE is not cheap so this is a nice employee’s benefit that you can take advantage because you can monitor your health. I stopped having this when I resigned from my work. 

Anyway, since my husband is an employee, he has yearly check-up. In the year 2014, he learned that he has gallstones. The hospital staff said “Sir, lumiit po yung gallstones niyo”. My husband was surprised because he didn’t know that he has gallstones. The staff said, yes po sir, last year po ito yung result.

Imagine, year 2013 pa pala yung gallstones and hindi niya alam. So we checked his past health records and we saw the cholelithiasis. Malay ba naman namin na cholelithiasis = gallstones. Sometimes, it really pays to read and research your test result, hindi yung feeling ok kasi wala ka nararamdaman. 

Cholelithiasis is the medical term for gallstone disease. Your gallbladder may have one or more gallstones inside. My husband has gallstones since 2013 which he didn’t know because he is not reading his test result. (skim and scan lang siguro) There are no signs or symptoms so we are just thankful that he has annual physical check-up so nalaman namin. 

His cholelithiasis is called silent or asymptomatic gallstones. It is very common but since there are no symptoms, people have no idea that they have it. My husband has silent stones and since he doesn’t feel anything, he did not mind it. Sino ba naman ang gusto maoperahan?

But in the year 2015, after his APE, the doctor advised him to undergo Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Don’t wait for any symptoms before considering the surgery at baka magkacomplications pa. Maybe because of the nature of my husband’s job, he is always out of the country and his gallstone is so big too, more or less 2 inches in size. 

According to medscape.com, here are the patients that need cholecystectomy.

Who Needs Cholecystectomy? 

1. Patients with diabetes mellitus.
2. Patients who have a solitary large gallstone. 
3. Patients who are going to be living or traveling for a long period of time in a location that is far from the basic medical care. 



So after few months, my husband finally decided to undergo Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy at St Lukes BGC. We went to the hospital last February 4, my husband underwent surgery on February 5, and we went home February 6. He was back to work on February 9, 2016. The doctor did not give him any sick leave, good thing that February 8 was holiday so at least nakapahings pa siya. (CNY)

I was so nervous that time because I was informed that it will only take 2 hours but more than 4 hours na sa operating room husband ko, so imagine my stress. I’ve kept on calling kung nakalabas na ba sa OR asawa ko. When the doctor visited my husband, we learned na natagalan lang kasi hindi mailabas yung stone. As I mentioned before, malaki yung gallstones niya and hindi mailusot sa pusod. 



Well, I don’t know how they did it but one big gallstone turned into several pieces. Do you have gallstones?
