B&E Private Pool @ Pansol, Laguna

For our summer family outing, it was agreed by everyone to rent a private swimming pool. Brgy. Pansol in Calamba, Laguna is known for their hot spring resorts either public or private. Aside from owning the place for a day, you're also getting yourselves away from the hassle that public swimming pool brings.

When I was still a little kid we also used to rent a private pool for family outings but we always encounter problem with the rooms. They were too small for us and can't accommodate everyone during sleeping time. With this resort, beds were enough and we can comfortably sleep.

Our schedule was 6pm, Saturday to 12nn, Sunday. It is by the way along Dahlia St. Perpetual Help Subd., Brgy. Pansol, Calamba Laguna.

Southwinds Resort | Pansol, Calamba City, Laguna

Alam kong wala naman akong mega followers na nagaabang sa bago kong ipopost. (Let me know kung meron! *kapal ng muka* haha.) Anyway, ang kinaganda dun, walang pressure!

Since I'm still a student, di ko naman keri lumakwatcha anytime I want to. Kailangan ko pang tipirin ang baon and everything para makalayas. At dahil ang galing ko, kung kelan naman summer tska ako walang alis. :( Sama niyo nga ako sa summer getaways niyo!! :)

So far this summer, eto pa lang ang out of town ko! At kung hindi pa ako nainvite ng family in Ivan(kabarkada), wala pa din akong summer getaway. Super thank you, Austria family!!! :)

This is very advisable to students because Laguna is just a few hours away from Manila at madali lang magcommute papunta at pauwi. Plus, mura lang ang entrance fee and overnight stay! Pwede din magdala ng pagkain! Go na go ang family at barkadahan!

As expected, madaming tao. Saturday pa!

 Bet na bet! Ang mura lang oh!! 

The resort started it's operation, summer 2010. 2 years old pa lang! Bagong bago pa.

Entrance fee is Php78 for adults and Php68 for children. You may choose the Gazebo or the Round Table for those who'll not have an overnight stay. At kung overnight stay naman, ayun! Mura pa din!!

They have 5 pools. Syempre Laguna to, hot spring!!

3 kiddie pools (3ft.) with slides and 2 adult pools (4ft. and 5ft.)

 The rooms for overnight stay are there and the other kiddie pool

Awesome view of Mt. Makiling!

 We had the Gazebo. Bale tabi- tabi siya pero may ilang meters na space bawat Gazebo. It has also its own sink.

And for those who chose the Round Table, they allotted this place for them.

Habang mataas pa ang sikat ng araw, pwede din magvideoke na lang!

Since they are open 24 hours, they won't have any time to clean the pool. This is around late in the afternoon. They emptied the pool then clean it. Yung mga tao, nagugulat na lang at bumababaw na ang tubig.  

Whenever I go to public swimming pools, especially kung summer at weekends, ineexpect ko na ang worst! Di rin kasi maiiwasan na madumi or napakagulo dahil na din sa sobrang dami ng tao. But for this place, okay siya! Infairness!! Bukod sa bago pa ang mga facilities, malinis din! Unang tingin pa lang pagpasok, okay na okay! Di pa laspag na laspag yung lugar. With the shower rooms/ comfort rooms, pwede na din! May nakaantabay na tagalinis sa CR. At malakas din ang tubig! Di pahirapan maligo. :) At sana kahit after ilang years na, mamaintain nila. So if you're looking for a place to hang out this summer, I suggest this place!! :)

Thanks Elka and Ivan. 

Especially to your family, Ivan! :D

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! :))))

You can go biking! These bikes are for rent.

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.

"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
