Emerson bday outing

~ Photo op ~




I joined the emerson friends for their yearly birthday summer outing. It was held last May 21-22 at Pansol, Laguna. Our reservation is for 14000 from 8pm-8pm. We arrived around 9pm due to heavy traffic and late departure. We still had to the groceries.

Stopover at SLEX Starbucks :)
Some are singing, others cooking, while we just eat drink and relax.

Around 2 in the morning the electricity was cut off so all of us just dip into the pool. And the fun goes on.
It was really a bad service because there's no water available. We all slept feeling sticky and tired.
In the morning, we heard that they didn't open the tank but there's water in it. Talk about having a caretaker with no care at all.

We were really disappointed so we just plan to leave early and not pay the whole price. And then we were advised to leave at 4 since a new batch will occupy the place. Huwat?! We are reserved till 8 and they manage to find a new occupants?

So we just left and meet at Starbucks SLEX. Then off we went home.

Sis' bday @ Pundaquit, Zambales

We went to Pundaquit last May11-12 to celebrate my Sister's 23rd birthday. Some of our relatives was able to join us. 15 people off to Zambales :)

The shore has a very fine sand. However, the water tends to go deep right away.


We climbed the mountain despite the warning "Bawal umakyat dito". It's kind of hard with me wearing just a slippers. But the view is great and worth it.

Tagaytay Grand Villa

We had our outing last May 7-8 @ Tagaytay. Original plan was to look for a private pool at Pansol, but fear of not finding a good place, we did a last minute research and found this in Tagaytay. This cost 12k good for 10pax. Lucky for us since there are no other guest occupying the place. It's not that good because the place feels creepy. The kitchen is dark and the walls needs repainting. The billiard pool is old. The water is cold.

I think this is the biggest planning ever. We are really excited for this.
We had a FB event page so we could discuss everything.
We even have our checklist for the things to bring/menu for the day...

Call time is at 5:30 but we left 6:30 since we are still waiting for some late comers.
The Ong family encountered problem with their car so they just decided to follow and arrived after lunch.

While we are getting ready to leave

The room, we were assigned 2 rooms

We spend our time, eating, cooking, singing, drinking and laughing.

Truly a place is as good as the people in it.


Till next time
