End of SY 2013-14 is here are again!

Here are some options for your kids to do this summer most especially if you are from Dasmariñas City, Cavite.

If your kids are into sports, Vel Maris School Summer Camp 2014 focuses mainly on volleyball, basketball and badminton.

If your kids are inclined into music, Casa Musica de Dasmariñas offers a wide range of summer classes for music.

After Bacoor, now it is Imus’s turn to cityhood.  This means that Cavite is booming and becoming urbanized.  More power to Cavite! 

I support YES to BACOOR CITYHOOD!


I am not from Bacoor.  But being a resident of Cavite for almost seven years now, I like Bacoor to be a city also.  They wanted this for a long time now.  With the plebiscite held yesterday, I hope the result is a majority of a YES.

Yesterday, May 28, Monday was terribly traffic in Cavite! The cause --- dry run of ‘roundabout scheme’ in Aguinaldo Highway corner New Molino Road.


I usually leave our house in Dasmariñas City at 8:30AM and expected to be in Makati after 2 hours.  Now that it’s summer and no classes yet, I am enjoying the 1 ½ hour travel time every morning and 2 hours travel time going home via Erjohn bus with Ayala route.  


Today, I left the house minutes after 8:30AM and got off the bus before 9AM.  I reached Makati at 12:45PM!!! That was almost four hour trip!  I have able to pray the rosary and my St. Pio novena, completed my sleep, listed down my things to do and pay, added birthdays in my mobile calendar, read several chapters in a pocketbook from my bag, ate biscuits, retouched my makeup, combed my hair several times and chatted with my fellow passengers during my trip.  I was tempted to play games in my mobile phone but I was reserving my battery.  


Going home, I decided not to ride the bus that I usually do.  I rode the UV Express van from a parking terminal in Makati up to Imus.  I left Makati by 5:00 in the afternoon.  By the time I reached Coastal Road, the end of traffic was a few meters after the tollgate.  Imagine that! After passing St Dominic, the traffic was so clear!


It was relief for me and many others I suppose, when Maynilad finished the pipe-laying project in Aguinaldo Highway.  Traffic was horrible during that time.  I even do not like to go to work by just thinking of the traffic and stress I had to go through.  I was expecting a heavier traffic next week as classes begin.  I was really surprised of this new event in Cavite!


I really hope the plan to have a roundabout or rotonda to us will not push through.  The roads are too small for the volume of vehicles passing and a roundabout will just consume space instead of making use of it.  I hope officials will study carefully the advantages and disadvantages of the plan.  I support Bacoor to their goal for cityhood but for me the roundabout will not be beneficial and will not add any impact to the cityhood.  For me, it will be just another venue to post and display the Revilla name!

I got a chance to visit Water Camp Resort and Inn in Kawit, Cavite last weekend.  This is our first time to visit the place and be in Kawit.  Going to this place from Dasmariñas on a Sunday morning is easy as there were no traffic along Aguinaldo and Tirona highways.

We arrived at 9AM and the resort is full already.  There were long lines to pay the entrance fee and to enter the resort.  We didn’t get the cottage we preferred.  There were no more choices.  Blame it on the PEAK SEASON!

The entrance rates are: Adult Php 240; Kids below 4ft Php 220

There are available rooms for day or overnight stay that needs reservation and deposit prior to the date to avail.

There are six swimming pools – mini wave pool, kidney-shaped pool with slides, lazy river and children’s pool.  My kid loved the children’s pool because of the fountains and the lazy river too.  It has Little Josephine for the food, grilling stations and billiard tables.  You can bring in food but they don’t allow electrical cooking equipments inside.

I don’t have decent pictures as I was annoyed with the too much crowd.  Sharing the best of what I shot:
