Princess Diaries in Tacloban

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Former actress Princess Punzalan-Field is living a quiet, comfortable life as a nurse in California with husband Jason Field, a marketing professional. But when super typhoon Yolanda unleashed its fury in the Philippines, Princess became restless.

She revealed that she followed the news on the devastation caused by Yolanda and wished she could do something to help. Princess received a divine sign. She said that even before the super typhoon struck the Visayas, she was using a meme with a Biblical verse from The 700 Club Asia as screensaver in her laptop.

So, everytime she uses her computer to get updates regarding the typhoon, she automatically sees the meme and for some reason, her eyes would be drawn to the logo of The 700 Club Asia. “Parang may sinasabi si Lord sa akin tungkol doon. Laging nadi-direct ang mata ko sa logo ng The 700 Club Asia,” Princess said.

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.
