Team Building @ Falcon Crest Resort

The search and wait is over! We were able to push through our team building for this school year’s officers and committee members for our college org. With all 40 officers and committee members plus those active members who were also invited, in the end, only 20 joined the team building.

Our  “kagandahang” Pres., got in touch with this resort in Bulacan which conducts team building activities with facilitators. We also checked other possible places but it will cost too much for each person. With the prices we saw in other sites, we decided that this would be the best catch but of course, we also asked them on what they prefer.

For minimum of 20 persons (sakto kami!!!), it costs Php400 each and Php50 for the use of swimming pool.

And everything was set. 20 persons, on the go for the team building! And probably, huling hirit na din this summer since classes will resume in a few days.

 Pres asked us to pick a ribbon in the bag to fairly determine on what team we'll be in. We only had 2 teams.

 Yellow team

 My team!

Blue team!!

 Kuya Abner and Ate Alpha, our facilitators.

First activity: This was the "helium" stuff. A hula hoop was put on top of our index fingers. From about chest-high, it needed to be knee-high to win the game. And no one won! Haha.

 This was the lowest we got.

Hirap kaya! Muka lang madali! :)

Giving some lessons/realizations.

"Toxic Waste" The balls in the smaller container should be transferred to the bigger container without any ball getting outside. The smaller container is being controlled by the ropes/garters wherein each member of the team only holds the tip of it.

Yellow team won!!

"Unity Walk" No need to explain :)
Yellow team won!!

Mind game 1: We're asked to build certain figures using those pieces of wood.

Blue team won in all three figures!!

"Pipeline" The 3 golf balls should be transported to the end point using those pipes without falling.
Yellow team won!!

"Rope Labyrinth" You just need to pass through all those ropes then run to your base to tap the next player. And until the last player gets into the base again.

Yellow team won!!

"Tire Swing" Just step onto the tires until the last tire then run back to base to tap the next player.
Yellow team won!!

Had lunch then went rappelling!

Mind Game 2: Just need to fit all the puzzle pieces in the frame.
Blue team won!!

A hula hoop thing again. We should find a way to move the hula hoop all the way around the circle without letting go of each other's hand.
Blue team won!

Everyone's favorite, Zipline!!!

Rope courses. High ropes na nakalundo na and multivines.

Ayun. Putik na may halong kung ano ano ang lalaglagan.

May nalaglag e. Sino nalaglag? =)))

Only me and pres tried this rope course. Others decided not to kasi scary din naman malaglag. :)
The most nakakaloka part of the team building but one of my favorites! Bongga!!

Galilee Beach Resort - Iba, Zambales

It is another fun weekend with family but this time, it is in Iba, Zambales and finally, it's a beach!! I just realized that I haven't been to any beach after my Samal Island Experience which was November last year. It's been so long!!

My aunt recommended this resort since the owner was a relative of theirs. We can got some discounts and other privileges. :)

 Beach volleyball. 

We admit that we don't play that good so we chose not to use the net. =)

 Weather is gloomy. We even thought it'll rain but good, it didn't!

There is veranda on that vacant part.

And here's the veranda

 The room we had. A room good for six persons.

With aircon

with bathroom

no TV :(

 receiving area / dining area

 Pavillion with videoke

Other rooms

When we got there, a boat man approached us and offered snorkeling for our 2nd day. The agreed price was Php100 each.

My brother and uncle caught these sting less jellyfish early in the morning.

The small boat we'll be riding but definitely bigger than the one we had in another Zambales trip.

My relatives were hesitant to go snorkeling when we stopped in the middle of no where and the boat man says that that is the snorkeling spot. And I chose not to go also since I'm the only one going. We just ask the boat man to let us stop in an island. Dun na lang kami magtatampisaw! =)

 Here it is. Of course, not really a good place. But water is cleaner that what we had in Galilee.

Returned back to the island and spent the remaining time in the beach.

 Some rock structures

 Yummy mangoes from Zambales!

We went to Subic for some duty free shopping then head home.

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.

I don't have the contact number with me but you can comment if you're interested and I'll just give it to you by then. (I still need to ask a family member who has the contact number. :'>)
