Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

I happened to be at the Luneta Area last week and one of my goals is to go around the area. But at my age ( I do accept the fact that I’m not in my younger years), how could I possibly go around with out exhaustion running after me.  A new mode of transportation caught my eye. A kind of train like seizes my attention. A TRANVIA as they call it pass by. I could enjoy the ride from Manila Ocean Park to Taft Avenue and vice versa. It stops at some landmarks where I could enjoy the view and the trip last for thirty (30) minutes. Fare rate of P 50.00 for one way loop or I could go to Full loop for only P 100.00 pesos is a deal I didn’t let just pass me by.  Going around the area of Luneta and to Manila Ocean Park is just a breeze that others could enjoy. I do hope others could experience the trip that made my day. Mommy Lariza CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS

My family loves to dine al fresco, we have been to so many locations to savor seafood craving. I finally found a new place in Manila where a Jamaican-inspired setting by the bay venue was open to public recently. Sandbar Seafood & Grill  is the newest venue of Manila Ocean Park. Located at the bay of Luneta, you wouldn’t miss this place. It’s my best alternative to grilled seafood.   I can choose my seafood craving from their gastronomic selection and have it cooked the way I like to be. It’s so relaxing and it serves lunch and dinner and I can even spend the parties and get-together to the venue. It’s so cozy and unique  Upon entering Sandbar Seafood & Grill I was able to see the sight of the fresh market where I choose how my food should be prepared. We waited at the condola-like cabana while drinking our cocktails. Liquid Pool and Lounge Proudly opens Sandbar Seafood & Grill   Gondola like Cabana SEAFOOD FRESH MARKET  ...

Have  you ever tried to ride a Kalesa before ? I was standing there, waiting for a cab to come. Suddenly, a familiar mode of transportation appears. I just couldn’t resist the urge to stop it.   I used to live in Tondo Manila. I grew up with the smell of pulot and darak. Before you reach our house, you have to pass thru a Kwadra (a place where there are lots of horses lined up and they actually live there). I was so happy to be able to ride again the Kalesa. If ever you are in Manila and a storm just happen on that time. It is better to use the Kalesa for you will be able to pass the entire flood. When all the cars are stuck while waiting for the water to subside, this one horse power mode of transportation will not fail you to reach your destination. Mommy Lariza
