The team and I had to push through this team building since February of this year, and thank goodness it happened this first weekend of August at Morong, Bataan. From months of planning, I never thought I would have fun because I still have that "hangover" feeling, aside from the drinks that we had during the night while playing UNO, Poker, Lucky 9, and Pusoy. The obstacle course drained me out as well. Despite of the hangover (literally), I was able to wake up around 5:30 am and manage to cook breakfast for the team. Cooking brunch is just my kind of thing now. It's almost everyone's first time here and we really had a good time at Coral View Beach Resort. Plus, the trip while in the car and stop overs added more good memories to cherish.

Rak of Aegis is again, on full blast! From the legendary pinoy band, Aegis, this musicale would definitely take our memories back from their songs. AGGGGGGH I'm just, excited to sing with them! So here are the details you need before anything else!
I'm selling Orchestra tickets which worth PHP 800! This special screening would benefit Dakila's Climate School Program and it would be great if you're going to help us out right? :) Anyway, you can choose any seat you prefer as the seat plan is below for your reference. It's just that I've been allotted with 5 Orchestra tickets to sell. Hehehe I think it's perfect for a family night out! This is PETA people and you would not want to miss this! I wish I could go to see this. I am really a fan of theater. I am frustrated actress because I tend to stutter. Anyway, I'll overcome that soon enough. You may message me through Facebook, commenting below this post, tweet me, or text the number on the poster (Please include my name so Dakila people would know my sales.) I hope to see you guys, PLEASE!! =)) If you're going alone, tell me and let's assume that it's a date! LOL! Hi everyone! I just came from a quick day tour and it was really worth it! So today, I'm going to share to you a perfect quick escape from the city! But before everything else, I didn't took photos during the trip since my phone is too bulky and we just want to keep out of all the techie gadgets. I'm excited for it but at the same time, nervous because of the 'what-ifs'. What if the place wasn't that really good? What if we get lost? What if we lost budget? What if something bad happens? But thank God, everything went smoothly until we got home. Yay! Since it's a special day, we want to make it different, something that we don't usually do. So we agreed to go out for a swim and it was really hard to look for a place where the it would be enough for the budget. Our first option was Casa Ibiza at Antipolo. I assume travel time would be 30 - 50 minutes but I've read some reviews and some weren't that good. I had a few weeks to do this research and decided to change plans one week before our day. We ended up at Bakasyunan Resort Tanay! EXPENSE
NOTES On the comparison above, we went overboard the expected expenses! So here's my tip to everyone who plans to go on a day tour, even not on this same place.
REVIEW I definitely recommend this place as the resort has good quality of amenities with an appropriate pricing. The Cliffside room seems to be small but it's just enough to have some rest and security for our things. The resort has two swimming pools. From the Front Desk, you'll see first the infinity pool. Then when we went to our room, I saw the second one, the garden swimming pool. Since the Infinity pool was a bit crowded, we spent our time at the garden pool and there's no one else there! It's like we rented the whole pool for us. I guess this is because it's Thursday, a weekday and most people are still at work. :) On the other hand, I noticed that the our washroom has water all over the floor. In case some people have checked out from our room before us, please make sure that it would be dry and clean. And I think there should be mini bottles of lotion and shampoos. This would be really helpful for a guest like me who didn't bring much things.
All in all, everything went perfect! I also learned from this experience that I should bring my own necessities too. :) I am thinking where to swim next but for now, I just have to save money for another trip. :) I've been wanting to be an event organizer, but I want to focus on parties and.. weddings! I took an event organization class back in senior college, and I learned a lot from it. I knew what kind of events I really want to do, and I need to learn more by exposing myself in events. As for the wedding, I think many of us women have broad imagination in thinking about wedding ideas since we dream of having them on one special day. <3 Nowadays, there are a lot of wedding ideas pinned at pinterest, but there's too much idea and you just need the main concept, where as there were adventurous or beach themed, traditional church wedding, or just playful garden wedding. And for me, I want this to happen in the High Gardens of Westeros. Yes, I am a fan of GoT and here's my dream GoT themed wedding!
(To my future husband, This is just a suggestion of my dream wedding. I know you want to give me the best and the grandest, but what's going to make this day special is our exchange of vows and future dreams for each other, together forever. In God's time, we'll be ready when we're ready.) I've read a lot of blog articles about how life would be after college and when you reach 20 years of age. Some points that moved me are 1. Stop apologizing; 2. You only make yourself happy; and lastly, It's okay to burn bridges.
Well, for this woman in the photo, I won't let that bridge to be burnt down. I've been working with these people since August last year. And with just that span of time, they were like a family to me, there's a mother figure, sisters, and brothers. I've always wanted to have siblings, but I didn't really regret being an only child. I just thought that it would be fun when you have siblings, right? So here I present to you, my Enablement Team. YAY! I was lucky enough to be with them on a perfect timing, to be with them on their birthday celebrations, or just regular occasions.
