Weekend Fun

A cousin of mine celebrated her birthday last Saturday. She decided to throw a swimming party in a private resort in Laguna. We always choose Laguna whenever we plan a swimming party for the whole family because we enjoy the warm and fresh water from Mt. Makiling, not to mention its accessibility. We try to visit different resorts each time though.

 My sister might kill me for posting this because she didn't bother to dress-up or even put a lipstick on (her look since she got up from bed). haha Probably because it was just an hour and a half of trip away and we would go swimming anyway.

Me, the celebrant, and my sister.
Wacky or shall I say pa-cute moment with half of the gang..




















The resort we rented was Villa Flora 1. The private resort has two pools: an adult pool and a kiddie pool. Second story has a small balcony, three rooms: two air conditioned rooms and one fan room—a total of seven queen-sized beds. One common toilet and bath room and two more on the first level.

Parking within can accommodate two SUVs. The activity area has a long table in the center and a videoke machine. There's a billiard table going down from the left side of the kiddie pool, free of charge, but unfortunately five balls were missing. Good luck to the nine ball challenge. :S

Pool was just quarterly filled with water when we arrived, which was good, as obviously the water had just been changed. And yeah, I didn't miss the smell of Chlorine. 

What I really like about staying overnight in a private resort is you can jump in the water first thing in the morning, even in your pajamas. 

Or even if you look like a pajama...LOL 


We witnessed the swimmer in Roca when she accidentally slipped into the pool when she ran through a curved portion. Poor baby chilling, good thing I grabbed her hair dryer before we left the house.

Mommy jumped off to save Roca! haha

  I was pulling her down because she kept on floating up in the water. She wanted so bad to have an underwater scene captured. LOL

Binge session with the fam



Sure we brought disposable plates, but still preferred to eat Filipino style—on a banana leaf, which we love to call salo-salo. Food we had were also Filipino staples. 

Beef sinigang (Beef in tangy soup), Inihaw na Bangus, Tilapia, Squids, and liempo (Grilled seafoods and pork belly), Halabos na hipon (cocktail shrimps), Pork embotido, and Giniling na baboy (please translate).

You can tell we're almost done here by the look of that almost empty rice pot. haha

Fun times, fun times!
