#myKaffahfromCC Giveaway!

Classic Crown celebrates its 1st year as the Kaffah's official reseller in the Philippines! 

Time flies!

We are beyond blessed on what's our online store has become to our sisters, 

by that, we are conducting a giveaway!

Excited? We are, too!

Just a brief explanation to those who aren't yet familiar with Kaffah, it is an imported brand of hijabs/scarfs/shawls from Indonesia owned by Siti Juwariyah, a blogger/entrepreneur.

We just decided to resell the brand here in the country because we personally love and use their Kaffah Shawls especially their different lovely colors perfect for everyday use even to formal events. And most importantly, their perfect length that will be great for several hijab styles (Muslimahs will understand!). :)

My friend/sister and business partner Marjan of Singapore (A Kaffah user for few years and had a great collection of them :p) introduced this brand to me and everything just started.

Some of her collection :)

Since the day we released the brand in our store it has always been sold out in just few hours. As we try to provide more stocks, we didn't expect we also gain more Kaffah users. We are so thankful for the patience and understanding of our loyal customers of Kaffah. And we assure that we will provide more in the future In shaa Allah.

SUMMER GETAWAY in Bunga Prime Resort, Biliran Leyte

Being married to my husband for 2 years now, I already got myself accustomed to many traditions his family has. The Garcia's, which I'm now part of, love to visit beautiful beaches in the country. 
Not a pro (like most of them), I knew I needed a life vest to help me cope up with them.

This year they decided for us to spend a 4-day getaway to their hometown in Bunga, in the municipality of Cabucgayan, province of Biliran to visit their family and to celebrate Ate Ayah’s Aqeeqah (sacrifice for a newborn).

Our group had a Manila to Tacloban flight, which took an hour. Known to be a family of good swimmers, it's already the family's tradition to go to different beaches every summer.

Ate Ayah seemed to already try to check in herself.

Then from Tacloban to Bunga, it took another 3-4 hours via land. For those who'll might come from Naval, best option is to ride the bus or van from Naval to Bunga (available from 8am to 5pm).

T'was a long long drive so some had the chance to catch up some sleep; others read books, while the girls took care of the babies.

 Just like fairy godmothers!

We were able to arrive safely before sunset to their ancestral home which now known as "Bunga Prime Resort" as they'd decided to convert it to a very charming and relaxing place a few years back.

Anyone can inquire and book a reservation thru its Facebook page here.

Sunset and sunrise are earlier experienced here than Manila so we got our dinner served earlier as well.

Dried pusit will never be MIA if you're in Visayas. Won't miss an opportunity to grab 'em!

Our lovely view in the Carigaya Bay, with one of the best part of the resort, "floating nipa hut."

Day 1 (Enjoying the Bunga Prime Resort amenities)

Because we arrived in the resort during holidays (Maundy Thursday and Good Friday), we got to own the place! They have a kiddie pool aside from the main pool, both filled with natural spring water so there's gotta be some health benefit for its users.

   

Ate Ayah trying to dip in the pool

Everyone can see how she loved the pool
and we didn't bother to wonder if its in her genes per se.

We couldn't resist to try the Floating Nipa Hut and swim in the blue water bay.

I believe, no one else could!

Safety first.
Safety first. And worry no more, cos you can rent life vests in the resort. Waves are the enemies, I tell yah! So its better to be acquainted with swimmers, lucky me!

Day 2 (Tinago Falls)

We left the resort as early as 7AM to get into the falls the earliest. (Tip: People tend to overcrowd the falls, so if you want to get nice photos without the presence of any strangers in the pictures, better to go early.)

You can rent a van going to Tinago Falls. But us, we just used the resort's private car and truck.
Thanks to Tita Meldy, my husband's aunt :)

Amazing view on our way to Tinago Falls.

How harvest time looks like :)

With less than an hour travel time, we arrived in Tinago falls.

The entrance

You can enjoy a fresh buko juice before going to the falls or for lunch.
But expect that it'll be more pricey here compare to the city.

When we travel we always think that we should also touch lives,
for just a few amount of money from what you purchase,
you can already provide food for someone else's family.

Just a few steps away :)
You can see the excitement on my sister-in-law's face.

Finally, Tinago Falls of Leyte (FYI there is another one in Iligan City)

with my husband's cousins
Note: the water is sooooo cold :p

Who says Hijabi can't enjoy in the falls with their hijab on?
What's keeping it in place? Pins (the more, the merrier) and your most trustworthy inner.

With the Mister and the other side of the falls where you can also swim.
Their locals usually use it when they need to take a bath and wash their clothes.

We had our packed lunch and grilled some chicken nearby the falls. You can also utilize their area to grill your food but its also okay if you prefer to bring your food already cooked.

To make our lunch special we eat with our bare hands or known in the Filipino language as "kamayan."

Day 3 (Aqeeqah of Ate Ayah)

I love to share the photos but I always leave something for our family’s privacy. 

That day is extra special cos we were complete and we had our lunch as a complete family.

We slaughtered 1 goat to sacrifice (halal). And I tried to eat it for the first time! 

Another memorable experience during my travel.

Let me just share with you the place where we stayed.

View from our room.
Isn't it lovely?

The Hallway

Balcony with the ocean view

The four storey Bunga Prime Resort
You may have the view of the blue water bay of Carigaya or the mountain.

The breathtaking mountain view

Bookworms will surely love this spot as well as those who can't get enough of social media sites
because this place has a reliable signal that you cannot get usually around the place.

Lunch or dinner date with this view
You might not find any near restaurants around the resort,
but no one's gonna complain for sure because they cook absolutely good!

Day 4 (On our way home)

We had our breakfast with Lolo and was able to snap some photos.

bagong gising look  XD

And our looooooong drive will start again back to Tacloban. (sleeping time)

We also dropped by the well known “San Juanico Bridge," the longest bridge in the country that connects Leyte to Samar. It measures around 2,200 m. Never gets old!

Samar here we come! Just kiddin' but In shaa Allah we can visit it soon!

Alhamdulillah we arrived home safely. Til our next trip!
