Laguna is the first thing that pops into our mind when we hear the word resort, especially to Metro Manila residents. I’ve been to several hot springs and I’ve said it many times that I’ll never be coming back. Not because the Laguna resorts are not good but they’re just too crowdy for me. As a working girl, I find it exhausting planning on outings and when at the place, I easily get frustrated especially when the website or brochure is different from what the actual is.
A couple of years ago, the previous company I worked with had our summer outing at this resort called Mount Sea Grand Resort. The first time I saw it, I immediately fell in love with the place. Since then, I boast my experiences and how Mount Sea Grand Resort changed my perception on resorts. It is located at Tanza, Cavite, a 2 hour drive from Manila. Don’t be confused, there are two Mount Sea Resorts, the other is the Fiesta Resort which is near Island Cove. This resort that am referring to is the Grand Resort, which is actually a businessman’s hotel complete with five-star amenities/facilities and a spectacular seafront.

Classic Savory’s Combo C4 Meal
There’s this restaurant at my office building that I’ve never tried until yesterday. When I ask my friend where she want to eat, she just mentioned, “I want a full meal”. Since we’re running out of food choices at the nearby mall, I’ve suggested that we dine at Classic Savory.
Classic Savory History
Classic Savory has been around since 1950; their first branch was at Escolta. They are known for their special fried chicken marinated with their secret ingredients. And that’s what we ordered for lunch. There are several choices available on Classic Savory’s menu for meals that can be shared by two. Savory Combo C meals include 1/2 Fried Chicken, Pancit Canton, Rice, Special Turon and Tropical Cooler but diners are given choices of either Salt and Pepper Spareribs, Creamy Fish Fillet, Sweet and Sour Pork or Salt and Pepper Squid, inclusive on their combo meal.
My friend and I ordered Combo C meal with Salt and Pepper Squid as we both agreed on seafood since the combo meal was already meaty. We waited for about 10 minutes for our food to be served. The serving of Pancit Canton and Salt and Pepper Squid was disappointing as it was not enough to be shared. Their fried chicken was really tasty and cooked just right. Pancit Canton was almost tasteless and soggy so was the Salt and Pepper Squid, not to mention it’s almost unrecognizable as squid. Tropical cooler was Four Seasons in camouflage. Their Special Turon was spicy, I don’t know if it was really meant to be spicy or just because it was served on one platter with everything.
Overall for Php 385.00 the combo meal was decent. Savory’s Fried Chicken is one of the reasons I’ll definitely return. I’ll be taking my family with me on my next visit and we’ll try their other dishes and of course their fried chicken.

7-Elections
7-Eleven is an international chain of convenience stores which known for their Slurpee, a partially frozen beverage and Big Gulp, as the name implies drinks served large cups. Yesterday, 7-Eleven Philippines introduced their 7-Elections Presidential Gulp cups. I remember back in 2008, during the U.S. Presidential elections, 7-Eleven rolled out their 7-Elections Presidential coffee cups. Blue coffee cups for U.S. President Barrack Obama and red coffee cups for John McCain. As we know, blue and red are Republican and Democrat colors, respectively.
In line with our Philippine National Elections on May 2010, 7-Eleven Philippines launches their 7-Elections, an unofficial customer poll. Gulp drinkers simply choose their candidate based on the color of cups. Yellow for Noynoy Aquino, blue for Dick Gordon, orange for Manny Villar, red for Joseph Estrada, green for Gilbert Teodoro and multi-colored cup are shared by Nick Acosta, Jamby Madrigal, Eddie Villanueva, JC de los Reyes, Vetellano Acosta and for abstain or undecided voters. It may seem a bit biased for the 5 candidates to share just one cup and share it again with undecided ones. I dunno but something just don’t fit.
7-Elections Presidential Gulp Cups
How does it work? Once you’ve chosen your candidate cup, the 7-Eleven cashier will scan the bar code for your vote to be counted. Since 7-Eleven is serving the public 24 by 7, anyone can join this campaign, even non-registered voters. According to the 7-Election representative, this activity will run until May 4, 2010 and promised the public that 7-Eleven swore that they will not run out of 7-Election cups. Results will be published online at wwww.7-elections.com.ph.

Customers can also make their vote heard on Facebook. Simply keep the receipt of your 7-Election Gulp cup and enter your details and TX code found on your receipt at wwww.7-elections.com.ph/regigter. It takes approximately 48 hours after time of registration for your votes to be verified. Reading through the disclaimer, emails may be used for future 7-Eleven marketing emails.
Grab a Gulp today and make your vote count.
