My precious moments...


While having my vacation in Kalibo, Aklan my Tart brought me to a place where we could really enjoy and unwind; the place named Sampaguita Gardens Resort located at New Washington, Aklan 30 minutes away from Kalibo that was last May 15. 2010 it's a Saturday night. Sampaguita Gardens Resort was built by Sam Butcher, the founder of Precious Moments, so you can imagine my delight when I saw Jojo's Christmas Cottage. It's entrance fee is only 50.Php and for that you can avail to tour around the whole resort, swimming pool, and enter the Jojo's Christmas Cottage.

At first our intentions of coming to the place is to have fun and relaxation at their swimming pool, but upon entering the place we were amazed of what we saw the Precious Moments characters were there i mean not real but its statues only.. hehehe... I feel like a child again to these angelic characters.

Our first activity at the resort is swimming in their big pool.. weeeeeeh... We also had our dinner at their Resto located inside the pool area. We had some super large Burgers and carbonara , some ice tea and a beer for tart. When we got bored, filled up and feel bloated of the things that we ordered we decided to have a stroll all over the place. Their pool area is available only at 10am -8pm.
