Let's go South! ♠

This lakwatcha is actually a late birthday treat of Ivan and Julienn. For a change, we went out of town! We planned this trip for a month, buti nga natuloy kasi we always believe na kapag super planned ang lakad, parating di natutuloy! For the record, this is I think the first time na natuloy ang super planadong alis. Haha.

*hello guys! I remembered our so called “dry-run” Hahahaha.

Anyway… As planned, it’s gonna be on a Saturday and we need to meet 5am sharp (Infairness, walang mega late! First time again!) Well, 5am is too early right? Especially for me who slept 3am on Friday, woke up 6am for Paula’s NCAA game and then home around 8pm then went to Majo's birthday and home past 2am, Saturday. AT KAMUSTA NAMAN ANG 5am MEETING TIME? Hahaha.

Bilang at pareho kaming puyat ng partner-of-the-day ko na si Ace, mas prefer naming matulog! We had a stop-over at SLEX, the 4 had their breakfast samantalang kami, TULOOOG lang ang nasa isip namin! :))))

Tried their boat ride.

I personally hate wearing a life vest! I just dunno with these people I am with, but I think they also don't want to be wearing them, we always find it awkward to wear life vests! Haha. Still puts a joke into it! "No, ayaw naming maglife vest. Marunong kaming magswim. What we want to save are our things! They cannot swim, we can!" :))

Cute installation arts :)

Bought some stuffs at Bag of Beans then went to..

CALERUEGA CHURCH

Nasugbu, Batangas

Before going to the church, we went and see the whole place first.

Ang fresh tignan ng mga plants! Ang sarap sa mata. Syempre, fresh air! Away from the pollution in the city!

We climbed/hiked/trekked this up to reach the chapel up in the hill. Basta, nakakapagod siya! 

The chapel!! (nagdisappear na yung roof, may roof daw diyan dati) :D

Caleruega Church

Can you see the chapel were we came from? What is malayong lakaran?? :)))

We made some drama! Hahaha. 

Laine: Model

Chingky: Photographer

Elka: Tagapayong/tagapunas ng pawis

Julienn: Tagapaypay

Ivan: Tagapayong

Ace: Director! HAHAHA. Umoutfit pa! :)))

Ate lunch at Dencio's. Thanks Ivan! :)

ADORATION CONVENT OF DIVINE MERCY
"PINK SISTERS CHAPEL"
Tagaytay City, Cavite

Dropped by Rowena's for pasalubongs and Paseo de Santa Rosa, Greenfield City to check out if we can buy some items on sale then head our way to Manila, we decided to have our dinner at Harbour Square.

We were stocked in SLEX because of the traffic when my BF, Elka knew that she passed the Nursing Licensure Exam! We were all shouting, kulang na lang lumabas kami sa sasakyan at magtatalon sa labas! Hahaha. We are proud you Elka! Again, CONGRATULATIONS! :D

Ended our day trip with our dinner at Teriyaki Boy, Thanks Julienn!

A day well spent! THANK YOU GUYS! :D
*got other photos from Elka, Ju and Laine

Batangas 2009 - 1/2

Since I started blogging only yesterday. I wanna post some of my previous trips. And because I don't have the copies of our photos in my other trips. I'll just post the trips which I have saved photos on my files. 

So, here's our Anilao, Batangas Trip last april 16-17, 2009 goes.

I do not really remember everything in planning this trip. What I remember is biglaan to, like mga 1 or 2 days preparation lang. The main purpose of this trip is for us, coaches of the swimming team, to have a break because we actually started the swimming lessons mid-march and will end it up June! So, habang we only have not that much students pa lang, we decided to have this trip. And because biglaan, natuloy naman! Take note, ang dami pa namin! not like those planned trips na pagtagal ay unti-unting nababawasan ang mga jo-join. We chose Batangas because our head coach and some of the other coaches and my team mates went there already for a 1 mile swim. So, alam na nila tska our head coach, kilala niya yung owner were we will stay. Tita Gie, know someone whom we can rent a jeepney (short sa budget ang drama! Haha!) 

We left Malabon about 6am though our meeting time is earlier. Dahil naka-jeep lang kami, sa byahe pa lang haggard na kami and mabagal siya compare sa car or bus. But tipid-tipiran kami, so tyaga lang! Keri lang! Haha! we arrived lunch time na! tapos hinagilap pa yung titirahan namin. So, lunch muna!!

At the carinderia where we had our lunch!

Fixed our things sa titirahan namin then swim na! We super enjoyed the balsa, where we stayed the whole day. And where we also slept nung gabi.

Me, kayaking

A group photo. Sa balsa.

Elka. The corals!

The Girls

Ace, ready to go snorkling. Ikaw na complete sa gamit! Haha!

Paula. :)) The clouds!

sandee-ace love team. Haha!

because we had an underwater cam. Haha!

The awesome sunset! :)

We had a great dinner! the caretaker volunteer to buy and cook for our dinner, we just need to pay her for the expenses. Super busog! After dinner. Go for balsa tambay pa din the whole group! for kwentuhan and inuman also. And we ended up sleeping in the balsa! Imagine, we are 12 sa buong group. Only 4 slept at the room we rented. So ang galing namin at nagkasya kaming 8 sa balsa. Kanya-kanyang sik-sik lang! 

The "tingin sa malayo" pose

Ang jejemon ng pose namin ni Pau! Haha.

So, this ends our day1 in Anilao!
