Wazzup Pilipinas!

If you want to do a staycation at a hotel then there should be great reasons to spend your precious time there. I've already told you about the One Pacific Place Serviced Residences rooms and their The Strand Cafe restaurant, so let me now introduce to you the hotel facilities available for everyone.

The hotel has a gym with many exercise and fitness equipment plus a lot of weights to firm and rough up those muscles of yours. You'll have a lot of opportunity to feel buffed and tough, slim and trimmed, and enjoy how your sweat reveal a better looking you by removing the excess fat (even just a little).

They have two pools designed for kids and adults. The lengthy bluish pool offers a relaxing way to beat the heat. Enjoy the water and splash your way to a really fun day. If you have kids, they'll definitely love it.

Both of the gym and the pool facilities are located at the 6th level of the hotel.

They also have plenty of places to hang out at the same floor with stairs going to the 7th level where seats are also available so you and your companion, or family, can spend your time comfortably maybe reading their complimentary newspaper given every morning at your hotel room.

When you get hungry One pacific Place Serviced Residences has a restaurant on the first floor called The Strand Cafe to serve your meals all throughout the day. You can also order for room service so they can send your meals in your room.They have great iced tea though the glass was a bit small for me. They also have brewed coffee but my wife preferred water instead.

We had a pasta diner buffet where we got to try three types of pasta noodles, plus several choices of specialty sauces along with some garlic breads and buns.

Breakfast was heavier as they offered soup and congee, breads and jams, cheeses and hams, salads, fried and steamed rice, tocino, longanissa, tuna, beef, fruits, cereals, and omelltee that you can have a restaurant staff cook with your choice of ingredients. They have orange and mango juices but were not the freshly squeezed kind. They were probably either the powder or liquid form.

More and more Filipinos today are dreaming of owning their dream home, driving their dream car or launching a new business. But it's also evident how some Filipinos remain hesitant and anxious on making these seemingly elusive dreams happen. “We really have to educate most Filipinos when it comes to financial literacy. Changing their mind-set cannot be done overnight, but it can be done,” says Lubar Delos Reyes, president of DRIVEN Marketing Group, one of the fastest growing real estate marketing network in the country.

Common challenges are the notions that purchasing a home entails a long and difficult process and that it is cash intensive. But with the efforts of the government and banks to speed up the process of loan application and documentation, more and more Filipinos are beginning to realize that it’s easy to take the leap. “Around 85% of our buyers are first-time homebuyers and they are quite surprised with how fast and easy it’s nowadays to own their dream house,” adds Delos Reyes.

This coming December 27, 28 and 29 at SMX Convention Center Hall 3, DRIVEN Marketing Group Inc., in partnership with BPI, is set to hold the first and most exclusive property and lifestyle event in the country showcasing the best deals and offers available for homebuyers and investors. With a campaign entitled “DRIVEN Pinoy Dream Property and Lifestyle Event 2013: Dream House. Dream Car. Dream Business.”, this first of its kind trade show format will allow attendees to interact and learn from the best speakers and institutions in the field of home buying, loan and personal finance.
