Gardens of Eden

Nothing relaxes me more than a leisurely stroll through a lush and luxuriant garden. There is something about the greeneries and flowers that can take our minds off our troubles. Fortunately, to create pleasant garden scenery for your home, one needs to look no further than Federal Hardware, the one-stop hardware superstore. The store has a complete selection of items for all garden needs.

Try an exquisite stone-carved fountain for a truly elegant feel. Decorative colored stones for the floor, acting as a carpet, make a garden stand out from the rest of the house. For variety, instead of the usual pots, make use of stone holders and bamboo planters to house the plants. White pebbles are versatile and can enliven the garden path or serve as a great background for flowers. Stone sculptures serve as an excellent decoration and conversation piece.

A wide selection of ferns, flowers, hanging plants, and indoor and outdoor plants are available at Federal Hardware. Artificial plants, fountains, and sculptures are perfect for livening up any yard or garden.

See you there!

Busybodies In Boracay

The Boracay Regency Beach Resort, Boracay’s first triple-A resort located along the white sand beach, was made even more of an attraction when it hosted sultry actresses filming a popular TV show. The luxurious resort, which was chosen to be one of the venues for GMA 7’s Extra Challenge, welcomed beach lovers Joyce Jimenez, Myles Hernandez, Aleck Bovick and comedienne Ethel Booba as they vied for the title of the ultimate Boracay Babe.

The stunning actresses stayed at the Boracay Regency, where they were treated to the resort’s impeccable service, bountiful gourmet preparations and luxurious appointments. Another sexy comedienne who frequents the Regency is first-time mom Giselle Sanchez, who loves relaxing by the pristine waters and the white beach with her loved ones.

The Boracay Regency Beach Resort (call 02-5238707 to 08 for inquiries) not only offers 85 well-appointed air-conditioned and native-inspired rooms with lanais, it also has a swimming pool for kids and adults, the island’s first underground beach disco bar, a first-class gym, salon and spa. When it comes to pleasing gourmands, the hotel offers a multitude of food choices in its many dining establishments such as The Regency Food Plaza, Prince Hendrik’s Café and Alfon’s Bar.

Another favorite haunt of mine in Boracay is Gasthof’s Café and Deli, definitely a dining spot not to be missed. Its seemingly humble exterior does not prepare you for the fantastic food that is to be served, for the place is big on satisfaction and even bigger in rare gourmet preparations. Where else can you find huge and juicy green lobsters cooked to perfection, tasty cheeses and sausages and unique German specialties? Gasthof’s is the place to indulge in your culinary cravings!

See you in Boracay soon!
