Airport Lounge : Pacific Club Lounge

-
You may have noticed that I've been flying in and out of Manila quite often these past few weeks. With my sister's wedding and a couple of family stuff that I have to attend to, I found myself being a frequent visitor of both Changi Airport and our very own Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Not that I want to play favorites but it's not hard to favor Terminal 3 over the other 2. First of all, it's newer (and way cleaner) and secondly, it has a lot more dining options that makes the waiting time much more bearable. As much as I love flying home, I have to admit that I really dislike waiting. While Manila is simply a quick 3 hour and 10 minute flight from Singapore, you also have to factor in the time you have to allot for check-in, immigration checks, luggage scans (oh gosh!) and getting to your boarding gate on time only to find out your flight will be delayed.

For the past months though, I've been more patient in waiting thanks to having access to several airline lounges all over the world. This has kept me busy eating or surfing the internet while we get word when my flight is ready to board passengers. I recently flew home again to attend the wedding of my dear friends J and D. I was flying solo as Paul had to stay in Singapore for work. Since I got to the airport early due to that laglag-bala scare, I had more than hour of waiting time before boarding time. Up I went to Level 4 where all the airline lounges are located. I have been to Sky View Lounge before so I turned left and checked out Pacific Club Lounge this time. This lounge caters to passengers of Delta, KLM, SkyTeam and Priority Pass. I believe that BPI SkyMiles Platinum cardholders can enter too. 

The interiors looked pretty. Simple but pretty. I handed my access card and within minutes, I was welcomed by the receptionist to enter the lounge.

Of course, after putting down my hand-carry luggage, I went straight to the buffet table. Hmm.. are these all? That was the first thing that entered my mind as all they had was Arroz Caldo, a very dry-looking Club Sandwich, more dry-looking baked pastries and the most promising item on the buffet line -- cut-up fresh fruits. Oh dear.. I wished I followed my instinct and went to the other lounge instead. *sniffle*

Normally, I get excited about the snacks being offered in the several lounges that I've been to but this is the only time that I just got myself a glass of orange juice... which is very sweet, by the way, and just opened my laptop to surf the net.

To be fair though, this is the perfect lounge for those who wants some peace and quiet as people here are busy with their laptops so you can have some good alone time if you need to. Don't come here though if you're hungry as you're actually better of dining at any of the restaurants and cafes below. 

It's a very short review of Pacific Club Lounge as I wasn't really able to do much given the lack of food options and non-existence of any other amenities. 

Pacific Club Lounge is located at Level 4 (after immigration), Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
