Intercon Kuala Lumpur, lobby and pool

This is my second stay in this hotel, I like it. The lobby, seen from the 2nd floor facing the main entrance.

Side view, the four pillars and big chandelier.

Artificial waterfalls outside the main restaurant, ground floor.

 Small park with koi pond.

 

 

The swimming pool, 5th floor. Only 4 ft deep with two smaller kiddie pools beside it.

 

 

Some of the buildings near the hotel.

 My two girls enjoying the pool.

 

 

I did not stay long in the pool, we were there around 4-5pm, it was cold for me. The girls stayed for an hour.

Star Monica Resort, Lingayen, Pangasinan

Last Thursday, March 29, my family and our friends from the barrio visited again Star Monica resort. The kids enjoy it. Below, overall view of the resort from the top of the slide.

 

The slide, view from the big pool area.

Main function hall.

Kiddie pool, for babies and toddlers.

The big pool. Depth is between 3-5 feet, I think.

Below are photos I took on April 2015, first time I visited that place.

Elle and Bien in Brgy Laguit Padilla

Last week, Holy Week vacation, I brought my family to Danny's place in Brgy. Laguit Padilla, Bugallon, Pangasinan. I am one of Danny's wedding Godfathers, he has two kids, Ran-ran and Ren-ren, boy and girl respectively. Below, the four kids are playing at the rice fields on fallow, trying to fly their kites.

Not much wind that afternoon, still they tried their luck.

 

Bien drinking water. At the background is my little wooden rest house, on top of Danny's kitchen area below.

 Later that afternoon, about 4-5 other children in the barrio joined them.

Barrio/village life, slow-paced but non-stressful; fresh air. My two girls enjoyed their 3D/2N stay there.
