Fun in my vocabulary

well, that's what i believed before this:

Yehey has done it again. now it's a team-up with Island Cove Resort and Leisure Park in Cavite for it's first DETOUR: The Bloggers Island Cove Adventure last March 5. 30 bloggers are assembled to outwit, outplay and outlast other teams with challenges lined up within the 12-hectare facility of Island Cove. Blogventurer profiles are seen at the microsite and their winning factors.

meet the blogventurers

before any fun started, the bloggers were seen lurking very early in the morning at Gonuts Donuts, The Fort Global City having Krispy Kreme donuts and coffee. a little chitchat ignoring which ones to beat at the games. Island Cove is just a 30-minute ride from Makati so as you pass by the toll gate and driving from SM Bacoor to Kawit, the resort is easy locate.

upon arrival at the game arena, a little breakfast was served to liven up sleeping nerves and prepare the participants for the tour of the whole facility. Island Cove management gave their welcoming remarks and the bloggers were divided to 6 teams with their assigned team leaders.

White Team led by Marcelle Fabie

a tour around Island Cove was accompanied by Ms. Weng. first, we went to the Sangley Point with 3 function rooms Aguinaldo, Magdiwang and Magdalo. then to the floating pavilions of Kawit, Alapan and Binakayan with is air-conditioned; a big gymnasium of Cavite, where nearby you can see a giant chess board not so much like what you saw from Harry Potter but the same way it can challenge your mind. behind the Cavite Hall is the Oceania Water Park with a big pool upto 6-feet deep with 4 slides dropping you to 4 different points of the pool.

night life is no question at Island Cove because you can take a night party at Fisherman's Deck while enjoying the view of the Manila skyline. if you got hungry and you want fish for a meal, just floating beside the Fisherman's Deck is the Fishing Village where you can lure your own fish for food. there are 10 species of fish propagated at Island Cove that you can enjoy fresh and hot on the plate.

if you enjoy the wild and extremes an eco-friendly, electricity-powered tram will take you to the other island of Island Cove which displays wild life such as crocodiles, monkeys and different kinds of birds. an adventure zone where you can play paint ball is also a good option for extreme gamers.

another ride at the tram and you can be dropped at the Island Songs KTV for videoke peeps. and nearby are the hotels and cottages for overnighters and those who want to sleep soundly. the Island Cove is graded AAA similar to that 5-star rating so luxury with comfort is really taken seriously here.

The Games
games started at 1PM after the big lunch. everyone is adrenalin-charged as laszlo gave the go signal and the clue cards. the search operation happened at the hotel and i was so lucky to find our adventure kit to claim our next card for the next task. the next clue took us to the Kawit Hall for a sack race, a little violation was made for we had put the flag first before doing the task which is a no-no. then az played the giant chess. we headed to the floating pavilions to search for the other half of the mask they gave us. after i found the mask just lying on the floor, we went to Sangley Point to test our Survivor instincts. i ate frog legs and drank ampalaya juice. here's the video:

My Survivor Edge

i will update this later. this is like the Amazing Race/Survivor, you always expect one team to win. we finished 5th but we all had fun. Mr. Gilbert Remulla, owner of the facility had a talk before closing the event.

My favorite BlueWater Treatment

i am so lucky to have been chosen as one of the bloggers who have been given an experience with the Spa Theater of BlueWater Day Spa. the foot massage while you are watching a movie is one of a kind. i totally recommend it to everyone who want to take a special relaxation after a tedious time at work. if you're going to try it out, you will not be wasting any money for the service is worth it. not only you got a foot massage, you also saw your favorite movie whatever it may be. a great investment for wellness. of course we know that there's pressure points on our feet that connects to the internal organs and also if these pressure points are treated well, it also promotes good blood circulation. so a little Php300 to Php550 that wouldn't be so bad right?

i know most people also want to experience this that's why i am going to share MORE about francis' business venture. i want to bring the people who are very close to me to experience the same thing. maybe for someone's birthday, after a long travel or even if we just want it.

if you live within QC, there's a BlueWater Day Spa in Capitol Hill which gives you the same very relaxing service. also, the area is very welcoming if you want to get out of the busy metro. take a look at this:


so if you want to get with one-of-a-kind spa experience, try BlueWater Day Spa.

as they've said, IT'S NOT JUST A SPA, IT'S BLUEWATER DAY SPA.

BlueWater Day Spa Contest Winners - Experience

first, my words of gratitude to Francis Simisim for picking my blog at the contest featured in his blog. i really got excited when i found out that my blog was picked for that experience. last monday when i got the email, i already plurked it and eventually i knew who the people am i going to see on the event, chris, jonel, ada, azrael are some of the people that i knew.

when i arrived at the venue, i saw chris waiting outside waiting for a companion to be with upon getting in the spa. the spa is very spacious and very inviting with the receptionists not ignoring our presence. we were asked to fill up some form for their database. i thought there was going to be a raffle for we are asked to submit our email addresses on little pieces of paper. (knock knock Francis! hehe)

Francis is already standing by the foot spa entrance waiting for the guests to come. he's tall and of course very welcoming. you're the man, Francis, for putting up a business venture like this and this is BIG TIME!

then i met joy, we had conversations about the blogging thing and everything and she too was very excited about the treat that BlueWater Day Spa had for us that night. the food is already served and we really got to see firsthand the huge lazy boy chairs, the water-like illusion carpet and the theater-like foot massage room which is uniquely intended for your social gatherings. good thing that we arrived early, we are able to take some shots of the place, get the best seats and take the first bites of the food served. very healthy and light fruit trimmings and sandwiches with bottomless orange juice or nestea on the side. first step to heaven.

then the other bloggers arrived. since this is an exclusive event, the spa theater only accommodates 28 people for the chairs. too bad that not all 28 are able to come but at least we enjoyed the whole event. we were introduced to the Spa Theater and i observed the smile on the people's faces get upto the back of their necks. lol

first, Francis took us on a tour inside the whole spa area. but prior too that, i needed to take a pee for i've been drinking juice ever since i started to eat. and i was in awe of seeing a very clean and neatly organized men's locker room. very minimal design and very comforting.

we were almost like in a Star Trek ala Star Wars hallway with the BlueWater Spa's hallway. as Francis have said, even at the hallway you will already feel relaxed. then we entered the different rooms and most of us are ready to lie on the beds and wait for the therapists to come and give us the treatment we've been waiting for.

the Sauna Room, Private Group Room, Diamond Room for couples

when we returned to the theater, not long enough that the therapists entered with a grandiose entrance as if we are expecting a production number from them. then the lights were turned off and Kung Fu Panda started to play while the therapists did their work on our feet. words are not enough to describe the feeling for i almost felt asleep with the very relaxing treatment.

the review: 5 stars, A+, GUJAB, love it!

before i forget, the access to the BlueWater Spa is very easy. here's how.

so if you are planning to have your relatives and friends or anyone you want to be with and enjoy the perks i had, you can check their website at http://www.BlueWaterDaySpa.com or check the price list here.
