Where I Spent My Long Weekend

Right along EDSA lies a tropical oasis literally in the heart of the city. A place like this exists amidst the chaos, traffic, and tall buildings.

For the Mother’s Day weekend, my family and I had a staycation at EDSA Shangri-La Manila. Just like any other Shangri-La branch that I’ve been to, this hotel will give you a vibe of both luxury and comfort. Indeed, you will get your money’s worth after experiencing a relaxing stay.

If you know me, I’m a sucker for art.

Here are some photos taken at the hotel lobby! What I like about this hotel is that it has a link bridge going to Shangri-La Plaza mall. So if you need to buy something from the grocery or the department store, it’s very accessible. You also have a lot of restaurant options and you don’t need to buy food from the overpriced hotel restaurant.

The garden area is really nice. Usually the pool area gets crowded but there are other spots that’s good for taking photos.

Here are some photos in the hotel room itself. There’s something about hotel rooms that makes my sleep a lot better than at home. Or is it just me? It must be the minimalist style of hotel rooms that makes everything so tranquil and relaxing. 

The following morning, we went to the pool area to swim. They had aqua zumba too for the mommies who wanted to do some cardio. I’m not sure if it’s just for Mother’s Day or they really offer aqua zumba on a normal basis.

My tip is to wake up really early so you can score good seats and umbrellas. It gets pretty crowded, as I have mentioned. It won’t be a hassle if you have a spot to leave your things, towels, and such.

I took advantage of the good lighting and the flower that fell from the tree.. 

These photos were taken before checking out. 

If you’re looking for a place for a staycation in the city, I highly recommend EDSA Shangri-La. This ain’t my favorite Shangri-La though, Shang Mactan is a lot bigger and better of course! But if you wanna relax and take a break from your routine, spend a night or two here just to feel recharged. 

Until my next moonkist adventure!

July 7 and 9, 2016

Had my fill of catching-up’s and free dinner in these fancy places with friends 😊

I’ve never been happier recently.

And I’m okay. It’s been raining and my work is still as if I am not on vacation. But my perspectives are all better. I am very thankful to Him who has made it all possible.

Tonight, I received a message from a friend and it goes something like this: “Always remember 2 Corinthians 12:9”

That made all the fear for tomorrow (even for only a day) disappear.

Thank You. ☝❤🌈
