Holidays with Beko

European boss in home appliances Beko is going to make your life a little easier this holiday season. You see, they know by this time, that you're actually preparing the menu for New Year's eve dinner. In the Philippines, we usually cook on two burners which sits on top of counter space while we chop and prepare things on the side or what's left of it. We also have barbecues or grill a lot of stuff outside wherein you would need to buy charcoal in the market, go home, light a fire, and put them all on the steel grill and flip those meats every once in a while. Then if you want to bake cake, you would need to get an oven, mix stuff and then look at the time profusely so your cake would turn out not burnt.

That would take hours right? Well Beko thought about you and has made a cooking range that can do all three functions. It's got an induction electric cooker, two ovens with a grill so you can do all of them simultaneously. It's also free standing which means you won't have to sacrifice counter space if you get the Beko BDC6C55X. It also comes in stainless steel varieties so it can match your other appliances at home without worrying about design, they give you choices and that's something nice.

So if you haven't had the gift for your Mom, or any person in your family that cooks, put them to work and consider getting a Beko today. If you want to know more about Beko, go check out facebook.com/bekoph and see the possibilities of getting the number 1 European brand in your own home.

There's a Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort in Pampanga

Honestly, I didn't know. I haven't been in Clark Pampanga in a while and if I do, it's almost just because of the airport. Though this is actually good news that they're opening up huge establishments especially from Hilton Hotels and Resorts group.

The Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort has 308 rooms equipped with digi keys, with Hilton’s signature Serenity bed, premium bath rooms, a fitness center with the latest equipment, an awesome outdoor pool, a Kid’s Club, an outdoor playground, walking+jogging paths, and soon a wellness center.

They also have several dining choices, Olive which is an open kitchen - all day dining place with views of the pool and the garden. They also have XI which is a modern Chinese place that serves Cantonese regional dishes. They got Treat which serves kitschy coffee, snacks, cocktails and wine.

They also are implementing the Hilton CleanStay program which they do across their other properties so you're assured of a well sanitized place to stay. Oh and have I mentioned their 1,800 square meter meetings space? Here, you can do meetings, weddings and other social gatherings (with precautions done of course). If that's not enough, they can send you to their 1,010 square meter Grand Ballroom which can fit 1,200 guests. It also includes the usual audio and video amenities, so your events would be fitting this place quite well.

This just looks like a phenomenal place in the north, I'd want to visit this place soon. Go visit them at clarksunvalleyresort.hilton.com for reservations, or simply call them at +63 45 598 5400. Tell them I sent you, I kid!

Beach Front Homes Waiting To Be Owned at FREIA

It's lovely, it's dreamy, things you just can't imagine actually exists. Fancy it? It's called FREIA, named probably after the norse goddess of love, fertility and battle. Now I know you've all been confined in your homes in Metro Manila or somewhere else in the world, but if you're already going crazy and in the mood to be relocated in a peaceful and luxurious place, then this newest mid-rise residential condominium in Pico de Loro Cove at Nasugbu, Batangas might be the perfect fit for you.

 

For those who don't know, the whole of Pico de Loro Cove is being developed by internationally renowned SM Prime via Costa Del Hamilo Incorporated. This property is very secure, quite secluded, but this 40-hectare estate has got panoramic views of the West Philippine Sea. It's a short drive to Nasugbu town proper and about an hour and a half to Manila. They also got lots of open spaces, shaded nooks, covered walkways, quite substantial sized condos from 67-154 square meters. There are also three-bedroom loft penthouses from 221-392 square meters, some look even bigger than a house, it would be perfect for weekend getaways (your very own spot) or perhaps your actual home rather than living in the smoke filled air of the city. The sea view units are where you can see the action on the beach while the mountain view units gets you much solitude and quiet, there's one for your preference. These units are not available for rentals, as security is tight in these properties. Condo prices also come with bundled Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club individual membership.

Now that doesn't mean they're bound to miss the city's amenities because if you're hungry, it's very easy to order via three restaurants in Pico De Loro's cove. It can be served in your homes, no fuzz. If you have medical emergencies, there's a 24/7 ambulance which can take you to the nearest hospital too. This community is also near churches and just about anything you would want to raise a family in. All these, surrounded by trees, crisp smelling wind which you can have all year round. Kinda nice huh?

If you're looking for one, simply call (632) 7-945-8000.
