T.E.A.M. Bee: April 2009

Mesa, Greenbelt 5

Since Greenbelt 5 was opened to the public, we haven't had the chance to try some new restaurants there, so we hunt again for something new and unique until we passed by Mesa and learned that it was owned by the Pangilinans, knowing that the La Mesa Grill in Trinoma and SM Mall of Asia are theirs too.

Bulaklak Beach Resort, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro

It is located at the town of Pili Pili, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro. I think it is the only sandy place located in Pinamalayan since the other coastlines was already composed of rocks. It was like a hidden beach place because the main road leading to it was above the beach proper, making you to go down the slope to see the beach.

View of the lake from Tagaytay

Tagaytay is one of the nearest out-of -town places closest to the busy and noisy streets of Metro Manila.

This is one of the night clubs in Boracay, this place was used to be where the Cocomangas was located but you could still find it at the back of this club.

Club Paraw: Shotgun

Ever wondered why is this drink called Shotgun?

I didn't realize it at first but once you have tried this kind of beverage, you definitely felt like you've been shot right away because of its effect. It is made of Jagermeister and Red Bull.

Boracay: Jonas Milkshakes

Have you ever tasted the coolest and delicious milkshake this summer?

And I'm talking about the Jonas Milkshakes, which could only be found in the Boracay Island of Aklan Province. At first I was curious of what does it tastes like because people who have been in Boracay seems to be hypnotize by this milkshake. So I had to try it too when it is my first time to visit the place and I just didn't tried the milkshake but also their other recipes from their menu.

La Carmela de Boracay

This is the place where some celebrities spend their night in Boracay and if you had watched any of the shows of Boy Abunda, you have probably noticed and heard that he always thanking Boy Saw of La Carmela de Boracay, which is the owner of the place.
