Dao Diamond Hotel and Tagbilaran City

When we went to Bohol, we decided to stay at a hotel in Tagbilaran City. We chose Dao Diamond Hotel because of the great reviews that it got and because of their support for the deaf people which comprise their staff. Another plus for Dao Diamond is that it is very close to Island City Mall and to the airport and is reasonably near the beach resorts at Panglao Island. If you are looking for a noisy and busy hotel with glittering lights like Las Vegas casinos, you might want to look for other hotels.

Dao Diamond hotel has a serene ambience and since the staff are mostly deaf – the place is very, very quiet. Its perfect for those that are looking for a relaxing place to stay. The hotel also has a free Wi-Fi, although its not as reliable. Still its enough for many of the tourists to check their emails or play Online casinos which seems to be popular with them.

Having stayed at the Hotel and having traveled a few times within Tagbilaran, I have mostly good things to say. Although labeled as a City, Tagbilaran retains the feel of a provincial town, which is a good thing in my opinion. Trees and plants are everywhere and the streets are not too littered by ads and buildings. In fact it reminds me of how my own hometown looked like when I was a kid – which sadly is now a city with very little trees left. The only thing that put me off are some of the roads that need dire repair.

Cool Weather in a Tropical Country

Living in a tropical country, we certainly get tired of the heat. Our normal temperature is at 30 degrees Celcius which means we have to keep our fans turned on 24/7. Sometimes when it gets too hot to bear, we rely on our air conditioner to tide us over the hot weather.

That’s why we look forward to December when the temperature goes down a bit. Temperatures can hit as low as below 20 degrees celcius in the morning. During times like this we reach for our blankets in the wee hours of the morning. The temperature is not low enough for us to invest on heated mattress pads but who knows, maybe in the future it will be. In the meantime, we take advantage of this cool weather by giving our air conditioning units a break. It also lowers down our electricity bills. How I wish our weather is like this for the whole year but I’m glad that at least for a few months we experience some coolness in our tropical country.

My Gift

When my mom came home last August she gave an unexpected gift. It was one of those mens titanium watches I see a lot in magazines but this one was more important because it belonged to my stepfather. It’s of the Tagheuer brand and the first time I owned one. It’s really a work of art. Now I know why people spend a lot of money on watches.

Beauty Craze

Beauty is a requirement in life. In fact women and men spend a big chunk of their time, effort, resources and money just to be beautiful or stay beautiful. Beauty salons and spas has become the latest craze. And with this need for beauty came the need for people who are experts in beauty.

Being a beauty expert is not for everyone, although we can criticize, it doesn’t make us an expert. This is where the education system comes in. Beauty schools have started appearing left and right and I was acquainted to the idea that you can have a career by simply making people look beautiful.

One of the oldest and more popular Cosmetology school today is the Regency Beauty Institute. It has been expanding for the past few years and have been providing cosmetologists for leisure cruise ships, hotels etc. It’s expansion is a clear indicator that Beauty is important, and is becoming more and more a priority among regular people, and not just the rich and famous.

A Trip to the Doctor’s Office

We rushed my youngest to the doctor last week because he was suffering from diarrhea for a few days already.  Before we went there, we called several times to make sure that the doctor would be there when we arrived. Since Zach is only 6 months old we didn’t want him to wait for too long so we planned our trip to the doctor carefully.

We were in good spirits even though the doctor wasn’t there when we arrived. We even took a few shots while we were waiting for him. We just assumed he was late due to traffic or because he just came from a hospital or a previous appointment. A few minutes turned to 30 minutes and 30 minutes turned to an hour but still there was no sign of the doctor, only their staff in lab coat who took our information. We asked again and he confirmed that the doctor said he was coming. But alas, the physician didn’t come so we had to head back home. Good thing our baby was not looking sick or else we would have been worried sick.
