Hotel Jen at Night: Windows By The Bay Part I

After watching the sunset with the 180 degrees view at the exclusive Club Lounge, the clock ticks and at 7 pm, this lounge becomes Windows by the Bay, for one to enjoy the fascinating view of Manila Bay at night from what has been said to be the best vantage point in this area.

Hotel Jen was formerly Traders Hotel. It is located along Roxas Blvd, Manila, and right in front of it is the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The top of this hotel has large scenic windows, a place that was created to watch the ever changing, fascinating view.

Many people are aware of the fact that the sunset at Manila Bay is famous, and that is one of the reasons why international travelers come to our country. The choices that we have to view this famous sunset are limited to the breakwater area that runs the entire stretch of Roxas Blvd. to Luneta Park but then, staying beside the sea, right now, is a not so delightful experience because of the pollution in this area. And, the view from the bayside is limited, as the top of Hotel Jen offers more of the view of the sky and the setting sun, to include the vast entertainment and hotel complex.

Classy comfort is what you can expect at Windows by the Bay, the night place created with romantic evenings and luxury lounging in mind.

The Hotel Jen ExperienceThe rainy night of the kind invitation by the place to blog about it, made the trip a tasking one. My business partner was coming in from Bulacan to join me as we had a meeting after the event, and his trip took 4 hours, while mine from the south was double the usual time. The rainy weather made us get stuck there at Window by the Bay, as we could see from the top the traffic situation that was like a parking lot.

Being stuck with delicatessen, cheese, and unlimited beverages, and live entertainment at Windows by the Bay provided a pleasant time, as we were able to relax and enjoy the place.

I firmly believe, since we were the first set of bloggers to arrive to launch the place, that the menu at that time was still limited, and the service crew was still lacking. From what I see from new blog posts, the menu has been expanded and maybe, the service would be up to hotel standard now. Yet, note, that the Club Lounge service was impeccable, and the food and drinks were excellent. That transition will surely happen, and I would like to repeat the experience so that I might be able to update the readers on any improvements.

Going to Windows by the Bay is an experience that should not be missed by the international and local community. The view is so excellent that it should be included in tours.

For a more comprehensive review with view pictures and all, and to be fair to Hotel Jen, as the start up issues of the place was experience by me and my guest,  this blog post is have a Part II.

For Altenative and Conventional Healing: Holistic Integrative Care Center

For treatments and cures that work, the approach should encompass all factors that affect us, not just the body, but the mind and soul also. For example, if one has diabetes, the constant warning bell about taking in too much sugar might be always on the mind, and the burden becomes heavier, and instead of enjoying life, it is pinned down to focusing on the illness. Taking medication surely isn't enough for a diabetic as a treatment, as for optimal health and improved quality of life, there has to be the proper diet, lifestyle, and even alternative medicine, such as taking bitter melon supplements to lower blood sugar levels.

The Holistic Integrative Care Center is the place to go to for healing that cares as it offers a multi-dimensional approach. It treats the root cause of the health concern. From the time a person takes an assessment, which is recommended to be done with medical records, if there are any, to the healing process, of which the patient is presented the treatments, to include alternative medicine choices.

The head of the licensed physicians in this clinic is Dr. Imelda Edodollon, MT, MD, NMD. She graduated from International Medical School of Integrative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2013. Pi Villaraza who is in the Healer's Portal, conducts integrative healing practice in alignment with energy transformation, neurology, psychological breakthrough and sustainable vision-setting.

With the fusion of conventional medicine and alternative treatment, using a whole approach, wellness comes about, quality of life improves, and cures are possible, with a sync of natural and conventional medicine.
We have heard a lot of stories about people who have cancer and use alternative medicine, but usually, it is from what is recommended by others who have used it. What is there was the database of alternative treatments that work?

There is, and that is at the Holistic Integrative Care Center. The approach includes all-natural supplements, and you can be sure that you and your loved ones are being treated by a licensed physician.

Lifestyle party, party! Awesomely fun event, with overflowing drinks and gourmet food! This event was held at Le Jardin, BGC, which is owned by the Chef Next Door, Jonas Ng.

Jonas Ng is a cheerful fellow, made more attractive because of his confident, bubbly personality. He had provided us with a good look of what we can expect from his cooking show.

Lifestyle does know how to throw a seamless party! With the smart, good-looking host, Migz Withaz Anzures, the event was so chill, relaxed, and it was indeed a successful launch.

The food that was served by Le Jardin was great and the Rillette de Porc, was fantastic, and I could hardly stop eating these.

There was a bevy of sponsors that added that special touch to the event, as these offered me great opportunity to try their new and exciting products.

Karen's Kitchen

As much as I wanted to indulge, as I am on a strict drink limit, but could not help but try the premium craft beer by Baguio Craft Brewery. Foam rich, with a depth of brewed goodness, a sip was fulfilling, and a better brew for those who want to have an exploration of flavors, that is unique and Filipino made. See the clarity of the brew, and it does taste good even when it is no longer cold, with that better bitter kick.

The event was had music, dancing, video presentations, and a raffle, and I won a knife from SaladMaster. That knife will surely last a lifetime!
