summer escapade

finally, after 3 years, we again had a company outing. we went to Laiya Coco Grove in Batangas.

i bunked in one of the tree houses that we rented. the tree house has 3 divisions. each division has 2 double beds but only 2 of the divisions have a toilet and bath. the toilet and bath have wooden swing doors, making the T&B look like a cowboy bar.

not much to do on this lazy day, some of us went to the other side of the island. it was 20-minute banca ride. even though we risked our lives riding that almost-dilapidated motor banca, we enjoyed it - seeing the other beaches with fine, white sand, admiring the enormous Mt. Daguldol, and the changing colors of the ocean, from light blue to deep blue to sea green. the ride back to the resort was even better. we were sailing against the wind so the water splished and splashed on us and the waves made our trip like a rollercoaster ride. i'm glad no one puked because of the rollercoaster ride back to the resort.

not to mention that there were lots and lots of food. food was catered for 70 people and only 40 of us were there. the drinks were overflowing also. Not The Photographer brought Skyy Vodka. aaahh, my fave vodka. Skyy Vodka + Sprite, you wouldn't go wrong.

and cases of our fave beer, San Mig Light.

i also remember drinking white wine. i just can't recall its name.

the trip home was veeeerry tiring. when i arrived home, i just hanged the wet towel, changed to pambahay clothes and went off to dreamland at once. when i woke up this morning, i was very disoriented because i couldn't remember what time i went home, if i was able to lock my door and close the lights, and because of the mess i saw: backpack, shoes, socks, loot bag, and jacket all strewn on the floor.
