<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> (via)</p>
<p> So, ever since I came back from Vegas, I have had a pretty bad head cold. But, I have been diligently applying my favorite remedy: Watching mindless YouTube videos! Seriously, it makes me feel better. I am not sure why, but I am sticking to it! One thing I have noticed is that the most popular videos have at least one of two things; authentic, original content, or very well polished and produced material. Basically, if the video has authentic, original content then it doesn&#8217;t really matter if it&#8217;s &#8220;put together&#8221; well, because the content alone will sell it. However, if you are trying to replicate something someone has already done, then you need to do it better than them, make sure that your presentation is polished and your delivery is spot on.</p>
<p> Which brings us to the video above. Here we see employees at a Microsoft store dancing to Chris Brown&#8217;s &#8220;Forever&#8221; Black Eyed Peas. This is an obvious attempt to ride on the popular Wedding Entrance meme that started this summer. Unfortunately, the content of this video isn&#8217;t authentic or original and it was put together pretty poorly. I mean, take a look at those buffoons! Their own customers are trying hard to ignore how awkward they look. This is the type of video I would normally find at failblog. So instead of creating a viral video that helps promote their brand, the only attention they get is snarky bloggers (like me) making fun of them!</p>
<p> This same lesson can be applied outside of viral video. Take for example MySpace and Facebook. For a long time MySpace was the only mainstream social network. Because they had an original concept they didn&#8217;t have to worry about having a polished interface and enforcing tight security standards, and they didn&#8217;t. As a result, Facebook gained massive popularity over MySpace because they offered everything MySpace did plus a clean interface and a barrage of privacy options.</p>
<p> So, to sum things up: When developing a product or a new idea ask your self, is this original? If the answer is no, then spend as much time on presentation and working out the kinks as possible.</p>

<p>Okay, so this anime has only just started and doesn&#8217;t seem like much, but my sudden obsession with cooking has taken it&#8217;s toll, so guess what link I clicked?</p>
<p>http://www.animeseason.com/yumeiro-patissiere-episode-1/</p>
<p>Episode one begins brilliantly. Perhaps I am a little biased that it&#8217;s about cooking &#8211; as I&#8217;m a sucker for good desserts and yummy sweets &#8211; but also because the background music, and theme music is done in, yes, violin. I immediately could pick out some of the tunes in this anime, and leads it to even better standards as it refers to dreams, inspiration and, of course, fine cuisine.</p>
<p>Immediate Kudos points to this one!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Every so often I&#8217;ve updated the list of films that I have already seen with brief reviews.  Call it the complete-ist in me, but when I&#8217;m done with reviewing each of the films in the book, I&#8217;d like to have reviewed every single film in the book.</p>
<p>Anyhow, here&#8217;s another batch for you to read.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>Shichinin No Samurai AKA Seven Samurai (1954)</strong></p>
<p>The Seven Samurai is the first movie that I had the pleasure of seeing from the master director Akira Kurosawa, and it is also one of his most praised works. Without a wasted frame, the story takes place over the course of almost 3 hours. Kurosawa, as he does in each of his movies, explores more than just the action and injustice featured in the plot. He is a humanist first and foremost, training his lens on the interpersonal relationships of the characters, tracking growth across this epic. As good as this film is, I would have to say that Kurosawa has numerous films that are even better, check out Stray Dog, Rashomon, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and my personal favorite High and Low.</p>
<p><strong>The Ladykillers (1955)</strong></p>
<p>Existing as a special combination of dark humor, and slapstick farce, The Ladykillers is exceptionally funny and unsettling. Alec Guinness stars as the leader of a group of criminals staying at the home of a hardy, vivacious older lady under the guise of being musicians. The plan is simple, rob a bank, and utilizing the trusting nature of the kindly old lady, and the remoteness of her home to their advantage, get away with it. Easily my favorite of Alec Guinness&#8217; films (thanks in part to the Star Wars prequels that is), The Ladykillers features a solid cast of great actors, including a very young Peter Sellers.</p>
<p><strong>Bob Le Flambeur AKA Bob the Gambler (1955)</strong></p>
<p>My introduction to the fantastic Jean-Pierre Melville, I was captivated immediately by the cool as ice gangster come gambler Bob. This film is filled with signature Melville-isms. Glorious post war street scenes in Paris. Trench-coats. Honor among thieves. And who could forget the caper. To talk too much about this film is to give too much away, and to do that is to ruin it for those who haven&#8217;t seen it. Other classics by Melville: Le Cercle Rouge, Le Samourai, and the recently released in the U.S. Army of Shadows. All are fantastic, and deserve to be in this book! Incidentally, Bob le Flambeur was recently re-made into The Good Thief starring Nick Nolte and directed by Neil Jordan, and while I&#8217;m not generally a fan of re-makes, I really, really liked this film. Not quite as good as the original, but it was one of my favorite films of 2002.</p>
<p><strong>Kiss Me Deadly (1955)</strong></p>
<p>The ultimate in hardboiled private eye crime stories, Kiss Me Deadly is a full on assault on decency. Kiss Me Deadly proudly presents itself as a grimy PI story, littered with bodies and intrigue. If you even have a passing interest in film noir, this should be your first stop. Violent, misogynist, brutish, and glorious, Kiss Me Deadly begs to be watched and dares you to look away. I myself, loved it!</p>
<p><strong>The Ten Commandments (1956)</strong></p>
<p>Apparently based on a book, The Ten Commandments is an epic in every sense of the word. Colored in bright explosive candy hues, and featuring huge sets, as well as a cast that number in the thousands, The Ten Commandments is more spectacle than great movie. Certainly not a waste of time, but not my first choice when choosing something light to throw in.</p>
<p><strong>Det Sjunde Inseglet AKA The Seventh Seal (1957)</strong></p>
<p>A classic, and well-loved film by Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman, The Seventh Seal stars an extremely young Max von Sydow as a knight who faces Death at a game of chess to decide his fate. This film is filled with themes that find their way into each of Bergman&#8217;s works, ranging from courage in the face of death, religion, and humanity. The Seventh Seal still holds up to this day, with luminous black and white photography that, thanks to Criterion&#8217;s Blu-ray edition, has never looked better.</p>
<p>Note: Don&#8217;t be fooled by the similarly themed, but much worse, &#8220;Bill and Ted&#8217;s Bogus Journey&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Kumonosu Jo AKA Throne of Blood (1957)</strong></p>
<p>Kurosawa&#8217;s retelling of Macbeth set in feudal Japan. Shakespeare has never looked better as it does in the stark black and white, twisting shadows and swirling mists as seen through Kurosawa&#8217;s camera. Toshiro Mifune doesn&#8217;t disappoint in the lead role, but the real stand out is Isuzu Yamada in the as Mifune&#8217;s opportunistic, poisonous wife. The plotting and scheming starts right from the get go, all the way up till the frenzied end of the film.</p>
<p><strong>Touch of Evil (1958)</strong></p>
<p>One of the many trouble spots on Orson Welles&#8217; resume due to studio interference, and financing issues, still Touch of Evil remains as possibly the best B-Movie ever made. Iconic (and sometimes hilarious) performances by Janet Leigh, Charlton Heston (as a Mexican) and Welles himself as the crooked cop willing to do almost anything to ensure justice prevails (just so long as it&#8217;s his justice). The movie is almost as famous for its long tracking shot opening as it is for any of the performances, featuring a nearly 4 minute shot done in one take which travels around cars, actors, and buildings. The film The Player, payed homage to it by mentioning it a few times during a similarly complex shot in that film.</p>
<p><strong>Vertigo (1958)</strong></p>
<p>Flopping on its initial release, Vertigo didn&#8217;t gain the acclaim it deserved until much later after it was released on video. Vertigo visits themes present in each of Hitchcock&#8217;s other works, including the obsession with blondes, innocence tainted with corruption, and the schlub who get in over his head. Jimmy Stewart plays the schlub, Kim Novak plays the blonde, and gloriously technicolored San Francisco plays the innocence and the corruption. Vertigo has a twisty convoluted story with elements of surrealism, an interesting watch.</p>
<p><strong>Mon Oncle AKA My Uncle (1958)</strong></p>
<p>My favorite of Jacques Tati&#8217;s Monsieur Hulot films, Mon Oncle was also the first of them that I had seen. Tati, playing Hulot, is a master of visual comedy, and not in the same way as the Three Stooges, or even Buster Keaton. Tati is an artist whose work is appreciated the longer you watch. The plot of the movie is not so much important to the film as it is simply a guide to get our characters into interesting situations so we can watch them get out. If you liked this film, check out other films featuring the bumbling Mr. Hulot, including Trafic, Playtime, and Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot.</p>
<p><strong>Les Quatre Cents Coups AKA The 400 Blows (1959)</strong></p>
<p>My personal favorite of the French new wave movement was this small-scale film, personal piece from Francois Truffaut. Featuring the director&#8217;s alter ego, Antoine Doinel, The 400 Blows is the first in a series of movies, each about a different stage of life and the challenges that go along with them. The period from childhood to young adult is covered heart-breakingly here, following Antoine through the rough waters of his home life and his interaction with the outside world. Later chapters deal with finding love, getting married, having children, and growing old, but Les Quatres Cent Coups remains the directors most personal and his best.</p>
<p><strong>North by Northwest (1959)</strong></p>
<p>One of Hitchcock&#8217;s best, North by Northwest features Cary Grant, suave as ever, being mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies. Just like in Hitchcock&#8217;s most famous works (of which this is one), the witty one-liners, suspense, and drama are heaped on generously. I can&#8217;t help but feel sad that a similarly themed, but better film featuring Cary Grant was left off this 1001 list. Charade, also featuring Audrey Hepburn, James Coburn, and Walter Matthau, is one of my favorite movies ever! Check out both Charade AND North by Northwest as a double feature! You won&#8217;t be sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Some Like it Hot (1959)</strong></p>
<p>Now this is an example of a classic, well-loved film, with actors that I really love (Jack Lemmon I&#8217;m looking at you), a premise that is more than suitable, yet the finished product never really caught me. It&#8217;s sort of like Hitchcock&#8217;s To Catch a Thief. I never really saw what all the hype was about. That being said, I didn&#8217;t hate it either. It never made fun of me when I had braces, or turned me down for a date, my affections and this film have just always been mutually exclusive. Perhaps it deserves another watch&#8230;then again maybe I should just watch The Last Boyscout again.</p>
<p><strong>A Bout De Souffle AKA Breathless (1959)</strong></p>
<p>Jean-Luc Godard is nothing if not a sacred cow of French cinema, and while I have loved some of his other films (Le Mepris, Bande A Part, and Masculin Femenine), Breathless or A Bout De Souffle never really did it for me. I can still rationalize why it was so revolutionary (use of jump cuts, editing, non-actors, and subscription to the aesthetic of the French new wave style), and see it&#8217;s importance, but I prefer other examples of New Wave cinema. If you are interested in seeing a Godard film, try Masculin Feminine, it is just as revolutionary and a bit more accessible.</p>
<p><strong>Psycho (1960)</strong></p>
<p>A prime example of Hitchcock in his prime. Psycho was so good, and so affecting that some of its actors were type cast just on the strength of this one film (Anthony Perkins, and Janet Leigh), so much so that without a little research it&#8217;s hard to think of what other films either of them has been in. Psycho may not be as visually shocking and gory as horror films of today, but it still manages to hold up over time and be just as unsettling as it was back in its day. Hitchcock has always excelled at making the comfortable un-comfortable (motels, birds, tea, dreams, the list goes on&#8230;), and the subtle touches in this film work perfectly. Consider for a moment that Perkin&#8217;s Bates is an amateur taxidermist of birds, and then that Janet Leigh&#8217;s name is Marion Crane a type of bird, or the fact before the crime Marion is wearing a white bra and a white purse, while after it she is wearing a black bra and purse. His attention to detail, and knack for foreshadowing is demonstrated in full force in Psycho and remains one of his best films. Despite all the uproar over the Gus Van Sant remake, I thought it actually did some justice to the original film and if nothing else brought it a little more deserved attention.</p>
<p>Note: This film also has the distinction of being the first American film to ever show a toilet flushing on-screen.</p>
<p><strong>Peeping Tom (1960)</strong></p>
<p>Released the same year as Psycho, and dealing with similar subject matter, Peeping Tom wasn&#8217;t received with the same acclaim and attention that the former was. On the contrary, Peeping Tom was seen as subversive, perverted, and generally too shocking. The story revolves more around the killer than the victim in this one, whereas Psycho is presented more from the victim&#8217;s point of view. Either way, Peeping Tom is a fine film, one worth watching, however it is so similar to Psycho that I&#8217;m not sure it needs to be on the list of 1001 films.</p>
<p><strong>The Apartment (1960)</strong></p>
<p>As far as light-hearted, touching movies about someone recovering from a bout of depression, this one is my favorite. Billy Wilder directs Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon in a sweet touching comedy without losing any of his trademark cynicism or the pointedness of his dialogue. The Apartment is another chance for me to champion the somewhat maligned talents of Mr. Fred MacMurray as Lemmon&#8217;s boss. MacMurray plays a fantastic creep who really defines the term &#8220;heel&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Spartacus (1960)</strong></p>
<p>Containing almost none of the trademark elements that make up a Stanley Kubrick movie as we know it (Kubrick apparently dis-owned the film before it&#8217;s release), Spartacus remains an interesting movie that isn&#8217;t great. It is, however, another example of a film that enabled an up and coming filmmaker to gain his voice, and define himself later on in his career. If only for that reason, Spartacus is a great film, but luckily for the studio, it has some other things going for it. Kirk Douglas plays the title role of Spartacus, and despite all the lavish set production, and concentration on spectacle, brings some heart to the slave who defied Rome.</p>
<p><strong>Jules Et Jim AKA Jules and Jim (1962)</strong></p>
<p>One of director, Francois Truffaut&#8217;s most well thought of films, Jules and Jim may be the Lost In Translation, or Juno of its time. Viewed from a certain angle, the plot is a completely moving and emotional story that you believe, so much so, that you can see yourself and those around you in the roles that these characters embody. Viewed from another perspective, it can seem a little precious or purposefully manipulative. Depending on what is happening in your life (I&#8217;m mostly thinking about whether or not you are in a relationship, and if you are happy), this movie can preach the glory of love and the pain of rejection. On the flipside, if you have shaken free the angsty, teenager-esque feelings everyone has had in their youth, you may feel like you&#8217;re being talked down to.</p>
<p><strong>Cleo De 5 A 7 AKA Cleo from 5 to 7</strong></p>
<p>Taking place, as the title suggests, from 5 to 7, we get a slice of the life of Cleo played out before us. Sometimes we, along with Cleo herself, are a voyeurs into the lives of people around her, and other times we are focused on her as she roams around Paris. By and large Cleo lives a carefree, spoiled life, yet we still sympathize with her when times are hard, and cheer for her when they are good. This is a small film in a lot of ways, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that it isn&#8217;t impacting and beautiful.</p>
<p><strong>Lawrence of Arabia (1962)</strong></p>
<p>I have to admit.  I didn&#8217;t like Lawrence of Arabia that much.  Perhaps I was too young to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of Lean&#8217;s desert panorama camerawork, or just maybe it was the epic length that decided it for me.  One way or another, I didn&#8217;t appreciate it as much as everyone else seems to think I should. </p>
<p><strong>The Manchurian Candidate (1962)</strong></p>
<p>Overly reliant on gimmicks and quick editing techniques, The Manchurian Candidate doesn&#8217;t flesh out the story nearly&#8230;wait, no that was the terrible re-make that came out in 2004.  The original 1962 version, is just as taught, and well executed today as it was at its release.  While the story between the two versions remained virtually the same, the consistent building of tension and anxiety, combined with the pitch perfect acting of Lawrence Harvey, Frank Sinatra (yes&#8230;Frank Sinatra), and the devilish turn of Angela Lansbury as the Queen of Hearts, makes for a fantastic film.</p>
<p><strong>Lolita (1962)</strong></p>
<p>It took me forever to finally see Lolita.  I have known the basic story (older man, younger girl) but had just never gotten around to seeing it.  And while I&#8217;ve been told that the book is much better, I thought the film was pretty good.  Not great, mind you, but definitely solid.  The shocking and controversial nature of the relationship was toned down a bit for the screen, and maybe as a result doesn&#8217;t seem all that shocking in today&#8217;s day and age.  Memorable turns by Peter Sellers, and Shelley Winters, not to mention it&#8217;s an early film of Stanley Kubrick.</p>
<p><strong>The Birds (1963)</strong></p>
<p>Despite being one of Hitchcock&#8217;s most popular, I actually think that The Birds is one of his most over-rated.  I think I owe it to myself to give this one another look someday, but right now I feel that it was too heavily based on the gimmick that had to rely on special effects.  Though it is not necessarily the fault of the movie, but the special effects seemed particularly dated and old fashioned.  Worth a watch, but not my favorite by a long shot.</p>
<p><strong>8 1/2 (1963)</strong></p>
<p>Federico Fellini is, by most accounts, a master of cinema.  One, that I have always had a little trouble getting fired up over.  It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t like his films once I&#8217;ve seen them, the problem comes in when it comes to motivating myself to see them.  I couldn&#8217;t tell you why, but his films consistently get pushed off when they come up on my Netflix Queue or when I see the one or two I have on my shelf.  I shouldn&#8217;t feel this way, considering I really loved the moving poetry, and soul baring passion in 8 1/2, yet it still happens.  One very definite reason to watch this film is the man-crushable Marcello Mastroianni, swaggering through as the alter-ego of Fellini himself.  Dealing with all the reservations with women, making movies, childhood, and the future that the director very famously dealt with himself, Mastroianni embodies a certain cool, yet believable character that begs to be watched.  Combined with imagery that leaves the audience wanting more, 8 1/2 is a fantastic film.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for this time.  Thanks for reading!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Ya know what really grinds my gears&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</strong></p>
<p>As I sit in class, day after day, I can&#8217;t help but notice the amount of improper grammar that has infected my generation. First off, yes I am a hippocrit. I can definitly be heard at times using certain words out of context or filling in the gaps with slang. But nothing comes close to the amount of bullshit one certain &#8216;filler&#8217; word brings. What is that word? LIKE.</p>
<p>I listen to people explain themselves in class, but can&#8217;t help but notice the implementation of the word &#8216;like&#8217; in between every 4-5 words no matter what the sentence. How can you be taken seriously if you are using that word incorrectly, out of context, and too many times. I have begun to laugh out loud like I heard a joke.</p>
<p>Now, I don&#8217;t want to be an ass, sorry females out there. But truth of the matter is that this is a female phenomonan!!! Woman have grabbed hold of this improper bullshit and ran with it. It has everything to do with pop culture and the brutal OC meets the Hills meets Falcon Beach meets whatever the fuck Paris Hilton is up to.</p>
<p>But like I like said, I am like a hippocrit, cause like guys like do it like all the time. They say it to, its like totally taking over, like, ya get it?</p>
<p>and you&#8217;re done jack</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Para as blogueiras que curtem tirar fotos de seus looks e postar, o <a href="http://weardrobe.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffa07a;">WEARDROBE</span></a> é um site incrível! Lá você posta suas fotos, com um link para o seu blog, descreve seu outfit e faz algum comentário (a <a href="http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffa07a;">TAVI</span></a> é uma das primeiras usuárias). E agora a coisa ficou muito mais profissional e mais perigosa para as gastadoras de plantão. O weardrobe se associou ao <a href="http://www.like.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffa07a;">LIKE.COM</span></a>, um outro site, de vendas pela internet. Funciona assim, uma equipe do weardrobe separa as peças do look (a calça da blusa), e vai atrás pra saber de qual marca elas são e o like.com entra na hora do &#8220;shopping search engine&#8221; (algo como ferramenta de busca de compras). E assim você faz as compras direto do like.com!! O máximo não? Infelizmente ainda não entregam fora do USA, vamos rezar pra chegar por aqui logo!!!</p>

<p>FREALZ!</p>
<p><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/like_duh_tshirt-p235497991484659163qj9x_210.jpg" alt="" hspace="2" align="right" />Because that bitch is as flexible as a Sarah Palin book-tour schedule, it can be used as a noun, a verb, an adverb, an adjective, a piece of punctuation, a preposition, a particle, a conjunction or interjection!<br />
<em><span style="color:#339966;">::: multitasker extaordinaire!! ::: </span></em></p>
<p>And I&#8217;m totally down with <span style="text-decoration:underline;">all</span> applications &#8211; until it comes to the punctuation, particle and conjunction part because <em>those</em> are peeves<span style="color:#888888;"> (in addition to whether <span style="text-decoration:underline;">or not </span>- stopitstopitstopit!)</span> that drive me seven full Mack truckloads of batshit crazy.<span style="color:#339966;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p>It is, like, SOOOOOO upsetting, you know? I mean, do you, like, get my, like, point?</p>
<p>Ugh.</p>
<p>But in all seriousness <span style="color:#00ccff;">(and pay attention, &#8216;cuz we don&#8217;t do that often here at LIAC)</span> &#8211; it&#8217;s got to stop.</p>
<p>Because, when you get right down to it, overusing the word &#8216;like&#8217; is the same as faking your tan, artificially pumping your pucker (or <em>other</em> parts <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) or bulking up your brats with boatloads of rusk, excess fibers, maltodextrine or MDM.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.craphound.com/images/stopsayinglikebillboard.jpg" alt="" hspace="3" align="left" />IT&#8221;S FILLER, FOLKS!<br />
<em><span style="color:#339966;"> ::: just say no :::</span></em></p>
<p>When their whiteness is too white, the pigment deficient think nothing of full-on fakery.<br />
<em><span style="color:#339966;">::: fake what&#8217;cha mamma gave ya! :::</span></em><br />
When their lips (or butt, boobs or fun-time banana) aren&#8217;t exactly <em>luscious</em>, folks don&#8217;t think twice about some strategic surgical servicing.<br />
<em><span style="color:#339966;">::: New math: You + phony = putzling :::</span></em><br />
And when the food industry wants to maximize profits by minimizing the merit and naturalness<span style="color:#808080;"> (yeah, I said it) </span>of their products, they stuff their stock with whatever will lengthen its shelf-life.<br />
<em><span style="color:#339966;">::: caveat emptor, kiddies ::: </span></em></p>
<p>Like is, like, no different.</p>
<p>Because people <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">can&#8217;t think of</span> don&#8217;t know the right words anymore &#8211; because zero significance has been placed on the enormous importance of appropriate word choice &#8211; they&#8217;ve leached onto &#8216;like&#8217; and haven&#8217;t let go.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s time <span style="color:#ff99cc;">to read a fucking dictionary, dickweeeds!</span>.<br />
As much as we encourage the silly and stupid, alliterative linguistic logorrhea, asshattery, fucktardeness and all things scientifical &#8211; this one we&#8217;re serious about.</p>
<p>Like, totally.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Darayonan is a Cuyonon word that means a place to stay. The lodge is situated in a residential part of Coron town, strategically located along the National Highway. Darayonan Lodge aims to provide its guests with clean and comfortable rooms, good food and quality service. Aside from that, one has options on choosing the rooms to stay at: in the native bamboo, sawali and banig set-up or in the modern concrete and tile two-story building.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Darayonan Lodge is an accredited tourist inn by the Philippine Department of Tourism. It has played host to a number of VIP&#8217;s and celebrities, the most notable of whom are Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and then U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone.  In fact, Congressman Baham Mitra was amongst the guests of the lodge during our stay from October 21-24, 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs022.snc3/10939_1275872539809_1319825630_799331_1958221_n.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="dfdfdfd" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs022.snc3/10939_1275872539809_1319825630_799331_1958221_n.jpg" alt="" width="362" height="272" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs022.snc3/10939_1275872379805_1319825630_799327_3778233_n.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="fghfgfgf" src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs022.snc3/10939_1275872379805_1319825630_799327_3778233_n.jpg" alt="" width="423" height="317" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What is striking about this place aside from its homey atmosphere is the owner&#8217;s love for the arts. It definitely is a reflection of the owner&#8217;s strive in achieving perfection in everything. From the lodge&#8217;s interior decorations to the food being served for each meal. He personally goes over every little details right before being served or handed over to the guests. We stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights; and it was a part of the overwhelming positive experiences that I have had during my stay in Coron, Palawan.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The place is clean all the time! They see to it that the rooms and private comfort rooms get cleaned everyday during your stay. They also make sure that the entire lodge is spic and span all throughout the day. I have never seen any litter at all in my entire stay.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The facilities in this lodge pass the normal standards of travellers: hot and cold shower, all air-conditioned rooms, centralized water system. It&#8217;s like you never left home at all. I&#8217;ve had a comfortable stay at this lodge.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It&#8217;s also probably the only lodge that includes breakfast for two along with the daily room charge. And what&#8217;s more, drinking water and coffee is unlimited, no extra charge. I should say that staying at Darayonan is really a value for your money.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p>Darayonan Lodge has facilities and amenities as follows:</p>
<p>Cafe which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner</p>
<p>Choice of fan or air-conditioned rooms</p>
<p>Queen-sized beds, single-sized beds plus two extra beds if necessary</p>
<p>21&#8243;  colored television sets on all their rooms</p>
<p>Refrigerator/Mini Bar</p>
<p>Closets</p>
<p>Writing desk cum dresser with mirror</p>
<p>Bigger rooms with higher ceiling</p>
<p>Bigger bathroom</p>
<p>Veranda</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Darayonan Lodge not only offers bed and breakfast for travelers. In fact, they also  arrange tours/trips for you so you&#8217;d have a grand vacation for you or your family or even with your friends.  They have enticing packages which includes everything (accommodations/rooms, land transfers from and to Busuanga, food and tours) and you won&#8217;t have to worry a single thing about your vacation. Every single detail of your vacation will be taken cared of  at rates that would suit your budget. Group or barkada packages also await travelers who  wish to visit Coron in groups or together with their families and loved ones. Darayonan Lodge does not have a website at this point in time.
