High School Reunion

after our Thanksgiving mass, Thank God they arrived,I was the only one present when the mass started

the motorcade
the welcome banner
kainan na! i arrived at the venue just before lunchtime, sayang di ko na naabutan  mga speeches nila


Seventeen years after bago na-conceptualize itong reunion na ito. I had to admit although I am excited too to see my batchmates, I am also hesitant to attend. It's just because I am not really good with crowd and I wasn''t really into so much activities during high school. In short, I am not even sure if my existence then was felt.

Anyway, I am glad with my decision to attend even for a few hours. At least I had chit-chats with my classmates. It's just sad that only few in our section attended.

Months before I came across this, according to them hit topic, in Buhay Pinoy forum in Pinoy Exchange.

Wala lang kakatawa lang din mga opinion nila. So i check it out myself.

binky's pre-birthday blow-out @ ohlala

We scheduled our outing for December 8. Kaya lang ayun excited na masyado mga bata kaya earlier na daw. It was a battle between the beach and a pool. Ayun nagwagi si bens at gusto talaga niya sa pool. We then scouted for a nice place. The first option was the one in  Daraga since its nearer. Kaya lang natatakot daw sila doon sa bundok na malapit doon at parang babagsak sa pool. Ayun, a day before we settled for Oh Lala Spring Resort in Guinobatan. With just a van and a motorcycle, nagkasya naman all 21 of us. Worry nga si Yay a night before kung kakayanin pa daw kami ng van.

We left at 7:30am and just drop-by at Camalig for pinangat. Sobrang excited nila at inaabangan din nila 'yong mga malalaking toyo,sardinas at vetsin sa Camalig kaya wala talaga natulog sa biyahe. Ang ganda ng Mayon that day. Totoo nga na early morning talaga ang best view ng Mayon.

drop-by for some pinangat @ Camalig
In less than an hour we were at the entrance of the resort. Entrance fee is 80 pesos. Only kids below three are free, so Dylan and Binky were the only one who availed. Actually, nalito pa kami kung alin nga ba doon 'yong entrance at 'yong parking since kami pinaka-maaga dumating. We were the only group until  an hour later na nagdatingan na din ang iba.
one of the pools, for me this has the nicest view
The water was cold but even Binky won't get out of the water. Sobrang gustong-gusto niya na umiiyak kapag inalis mo sa tubig. Siyempre winner sa pinaka-addict sa pool si Pau at Kyle sa girls at mahilig sila sa water eversince, at si Vince sa boys at dream niya talaga lagi na maligo sa pool. in fairrness, malapit na siyang matuto lumangoy. Pero kakatuwa din si Dylan na gustong-gusto na din magswimming.
binky loves the water so much
Heto naman ang winner sa pose at mas madami pa siyang pictures kaysa sa mga bata. Lahat ng sulok gusto magpa-picture.
one of the pools, it is much deeper and for adults
The food included pinakro and tuyo for breakfast. but i opted for just pandesal. Then we had bistig (pork steak), fried chicken, bicol express and pinangat for lunch. Siyempre di mawawala 'yong hotdogs for the kids. Maaga pa nila sinimulan 'yong drinks ng red horse at san mig. Excited din me gumala-gala kaya I've barely ate.
the cottage, this is the big one @ 500 peso rental

the kiddie pool

the boys ready to go
The resort was really unexpectedly beautiful knowing it is on the outskirts. The only thing I didn't like was there was only one functioning toilet for the ladies. Although there were a number of showers, one toilet bowl wouldn't be enough for quite a number of guest.

H & H moment







binky's moments

I've got a new house

welcome to my colorful home!

 I'll cook something for you...
 guess what? i'm hungry now.
never mind those pictures.
can i just eat?
have a merry Christmas from binky with love!

take time to smell the flowers...

If there's one thing I envy the most about the resort is its garden. They have a massive  assortment of plants. It's already a fortune to have all of it especially that on each  kind , you could count hundreds. Even the ordinary plant cost 35 to 50 pesos in Daraga town proper. Of course, the flowers are a sight to behold, but the thick foliage of greens is what I look forward to have.

Kapag pala sobrang dami kahit iyong simpleng mga cypress at birds of paradise, ang ganda na tingnan. Mas lalo tuloy na obssess na naman ako na magkaroon din ng malawak na garden. Kung mayroon lang ako madaming oras, resources, at energy na gawin 'yon siguro non-stop na talaga ang gardening ko.
