My dad found the extra time to schedule this breather and I must say, it was definitely a weekend well spent!
I have always been partial to Shangri-La Mactan because of its accessibility, beachfront, fish feeding and snorkeling activities, and most especially their FOOD choices at Tides but after spending 2 days and 1 night at Imperial Palace, i can now say that summer would never be complete without hitting any of the two five-star hotels!
One thing's for sure, Buffet Familia has a wide array of intercontinental dishes that would surely mesmerize any food buff such as the 3 boys in our family. haha. Their waterpark is something one should never miss when visiting this new hotel. I tried all three water slides and was ever thankful to have survived the green one (the longest slide of the bunch) haha!
Their beachfront, compared to Shangri-La Mactan, is one thing that they have to work on because on a scale of 1-10 where ten is the highest point, they are still 5-points shy from Shang's perfect 10 beachfront.
Some of you might be wondering why I keep comparing the two. Well, for starters, Imperial Palace's facade is very much similar to Shangri-La's, it's like a blue print copy of the latter. Even the lobby, grand staircases and some interiors are complete copies. There are rumors going around as to why the owner decided to build it that way but that is beyond the scope of this short descriptive write-up of our stay in IP. hehe.
But each premier hotel has their own strengths still so its still good.
It was our first time in Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort and Spa and the experience was the best one yet!

I grew up loving jewelries. As a child, my mom would let me ransack her jewelry box, put on some pieces and strike poses like the models I see in magazines. I …

Yesterday, my siblings and I were literally baking in a cramped office that was the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs). Its sad how most government agencies aren't given that much attention when it comes to facilities, man power and even a decent working space. I mean seriously, can they not transfer to some building with ample parking space and spacious working area? And can the government not build one enormous building for all its subsidiary departments just so the people wouldn't have to transfer from one place to another? Oh and please don't get me started with the turtle-pace system of some agencies! *rolls eyeballs*
We only needed to renew our passports but the DFA required (STILL!) an original NSO (National Statistics Office) birth certificate copy for my two brothers who are minors. I mean, what's up with that?! It's RENEWAL and not NEW application, people! Geeez! And just so everyone will know, the NSO is a marketplace and it'll take you forever to get your birth copy! Gaaah!
So after what seemed like forever, mom decided to just see our travel agent and leave all the work to them. teehee! The fam then made a beeline to the nearest mall to grab some lunch and buy school supplies for the boys. My sister and I however headed for home right after lunch for a client appointment in the afternoon. Busy thursday, it was :)
Oh and no matter how I adore my new Promise heels, I still brought along my trusty black flats to use for our morning stroll around Colon area. Walking in them in this part of town is just instant suicide.
