6 Escape Ideas RedDoorz Provides

It’s that season between vacay-happy Summer and the coming ‘Ber months. Traffic, too much work, piled up tasks and pressure can likely get you down.

There’s one word that will lift you up. Escape. The very thought of it is the ultimate adventure, whether just around the city or in destinations around the Philippines.

According to the still ongoing Framingham Heart Study, men and women who travel often are less likely to get heart disease. It also found that because travel relieves stress, it improves mental health, boosts the immune system and promotes fitness.

The good news is, it’s so easy to travel these days. Affordable hotels with quality accommodations like RedDoorz have 150+ properties in 10+ cities all over the Philippines. The RedDoorz travel app, downloadable from the Apple store or Google Play Store, puts staycations or out of town trips literally at one’s fingertips.

You can escape anytime you want and find an affordable RedDoorz hotel from north to south. Here are 6 Escape ideas you can easily pull off when the spirit moves you:

1.              Do a Staycation. Treat the family to a fun weekend. Or just disappear for a day or two watching streamed movies all day. You can choose from boutique hotels, inns, apartels or condotels that are part of the RedDoorz partner chain. It won’t cost much, but the experience is priceless.

2.              Go Out of Town. You can easily book a room using the RedDoorz app and find your desired accommodation in Baguio, Pampanga, Metro Manila, Tagaytay, Palawan, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod or  Davao. Just leave the world behind even for just a weekend. Even for just a day.

3.              Try a Couple Getaway. The pressure of work and the day to day grind of housekeeping can really be straining. Grab some time off with your special someone for some peace and quiet and rediscover the joy of each other’s company.

4.              Reward yourself. Pat yourself on the back for that promotion or the exam that you just passed. Celebrate your accomplishments and be kind to No. 1. Effortless travel is the best gift you can give yourself. A weekend in Palawan or Davao would be a really good choice!

5.              Celebrate a Special Occasion. Blow your birthday candles in the private cocoon of a RedDoorz hotel room. Toast one another on your special anniversary. You can even invent holidays and celebrate the victory of your winning team. It all feels extra good when you don’t have to wash the dishes yourself.

6.              Get some Me Time. Ultimately, the most important person is you. Discover the fun and adventure of solo travel and feel relaxed, recharged and rejuvenated.

This August, RedDoorz released its biggest sale ever! Just P499 per night on rooms anywhere in the Philippines till August 31. You can paint the town red in any RedDoorz town you want. 08/14/2019 (Bits of Rocks)

In Red with the Starbucks 2019 Planner

I finally got my two Starbucks collections for the year 2019 - the Starbucks Travel Organizer and the Starbucks Planner.

I made two separate unboxing and review vlogs for those two which I will share with you on my next blog posts so that you can decide which to avail (or better grab them both). But for now, let me share with you first my selfie when I received my Starbucks Planner 2019. Check this out:

Yeah, having my selfie whenever I got my Starbucks Planner is always my hobby since 2013 to show with you the feeling of achievement completing the stickers for the planner. It's just evolve higher since last year when I started doing my video blogs for my planners. 

Right after our Havana-theme Yearend / Christmas Party in my new company, I finally got my Starbucks Planner. Many thanks to my teammates! :)

My #ootn in my selfie perfectly blended my Starbucks 2019 Planner box as you can see! 11/29/2018 (Bits of Rocks)

Back-to-Back Events in Two Consecutive Days!

The weekends of January 28 and 29, 2017 was truly a very busy days for me. I had two back-to-back events on two consecutive days transforming me from a blogger to a runner to a ninong and to a host! 

Saturday morning of January 28 during the celebration of the Chinese New Year, we had ran a fun run called the CNY Lucky Run 2016 together with my very own running team, the Team Runner Rocky.

Night of the said day, my team then attended a media launch for a Valentines event called the Love Locks Fair 2017. And we enjoyed the buffet dinner at the Prestige Cruise. I have shared a glimpse of these two events in my fitness blog Runner Rocky via the post Team Runner Rocky on CNY and Prestige Cruise. 

 A Proud Ninong and a Host to Our Friend's Birthday on Sunday

Then on Sunday morning, January 29, I started the day attending the baptismal of my new goddaughter Olivia Green. She is my second inaanak to my college bestfriend Marfe Antoneitte Bermudo-Mallari. And the church where baby Olivia was baptised was also the church where Marfe tied the knot to his husband Richmond.

Then on the evening, we have hosted a big surprise birthday party to our TRR teammate and friend Nelson Cuevas in Malayan Hotel, Ortigas. 

And look, seems that each day have their own color coding - red for Saturday and blue for Sunday!

That was really a very busy weekend! This week, another back-to-back events were set to happen! And I'll definitely keep you posted on them! 02/01/2017 (RCB)

February 2015: "Spreading Love and Luck

Two major celebrations mark the month of February. These are the Valentine's Day and the Chinese New Year. That's why February of this year is truly wrapped with red which is also my favorite color!

February opens with happinesss for yours truly. Yes for me, this is really full of love as yours truly finally felt being loved after a series of pain and bitterness on the previous year. As we feel the love, definitely, expect for more romantic posts!

And since yours truly is also a Chinese by blood, expect also for Chinese New Year features as I always do every year.

February is also the birth month of my lifestyle blog which is The Lifestyle Portal. The said blog is now turning 3 years old. Definitely, we will be having a birthday party specially now that it has its own domain via www.thelifestyleportal.net.

What more will you ask for? Well, wait and see 'coz I will definitely share some surprises! Love and Luck, that really paint my February! (rcb)

A Red Shot with Anne Curtis!

Finally,  I got pictures together with the country's "nag-iisang dyosa" and Anne-bisyosa Ms. Anne Curtis.

Me and  Anne already met for three times now - first during the story conference of their teleserye "Kailngan Ko'y Ikaw" in ABS-CBN, second during our Zac Efron event in SM MOA Arena, and third just recently in the Guillermo Mendoza 44TH Box Office Entertainment Awards in the AFP Theater, Quezon City.    

On the first two moments, we didn't had a chance to took photos together. But on the third time, we posed together with big smiles!

Check out our photos together:

Wearing an all-red gown and lipstick, Anne received her award of being the 2012-2013 Female Concert Performer of the Year  for taking Araneta Coliseum by storm. And take note, Anne showcased her singing talent by singing the Whitnet Houston's hit "I Will Always Love You" getting louder screams from the audience during the prestige awards night!   

These were our first photos together with Anne and it will count sooner these days! Borrowing Anne's message during the night, "mabuhay ang mga Anne-bisyosa!" Cool! (RCB) 

Bryan Termulo Gives a Taste of His Birthday Concert!

The "Teleserye Theme Song Prince" Bryan Termulo is currently celebrating his 25TH Birthday. And as a form of treat to his fans and supporters at the same time a way of thanking all the blessings he had received, Bryan will be having his major concert in Music Museum called "Bryan XXV Birthday Concert"  this coming March 9, 2013.

Bryan is the voice behind three of the very successful teleserye theme songs. Last year, he made his very own rendition of Walang Hanggan's OST "Dadalhin" which paved the way for his rise in stardom. Then this year, he sung again another theme. This time, it's for the current hit TV series "Ina Kapatid Anak" called "Kailan." And of course, he also sings "Sa Isang Sulyap Mo,"  one of the OST of the hit superhero series "Juan Dela Cruz."       

During the recently concluded bloggers' conference held in Insomia Bar, Centris Walk, QC., Bryan sang two of his teleserye theme songs! He even shared interesting facts about his personality and dream date! 

Bryan also sang me his birthday theme song. And that is, "I Believe I Can Fly." He even revealed top 5 interesting secrets about him (I'll share the video in my other blog). And of course, he shared the singer whom he wants to have a duet with. She's no other than Angeline Quinto.   

In one of our videos, Bryan sang a portion of his current hit "Kailan." Let's check out my two short video clips with Bryan Termulo:

That said bloggers' night was actually my fourth times to meet Bryan. The first one was during Tambayan 101.9 Awards night, the second was during our first Blog Con with him, the third one was during the Star Awards for TV, and the latest was this event!

Good luck to your concert Bryan and more power to your career! See you again soon! Happy Birthday!  (RCB)
