Laguna tripü

Well, our Laguna trip turned out to be much more fun than what I expectedü The weekend was really a blast. So ever since I got back I had this hang-over with our 2 boating trips.=p

Well first off... We had this long drive all the way down to Laguna because our target destination was really Caliraya. I had no idea what on earth in in that place so I just slep during the while trip. We left home at about 8 a.m. I left my two jerseys to achi so the people who will play in that afternoon's game will have something to use.

At about 12 noon, we reached Pagsanjan. There was this guy whom we mistakenly asked for directions and lured us into the boating resort. Well, as we couldn't do anyting about it and seeing that my parents wanted to try the adventure, we decided to go to the Pagsanjan boating trip. (which was really expensive by the way...)

The trip was like a two-hour ride. My ass was really aching and I was fearing for my life most of the time because the boat got nearly tipped over for about 10 times. I was also scared that the water might suddenly give a huge splash and just give my new phone a big bath. So there. I saw a lot...of Korean people. They were like... deported to the Philippines by two huge airplanes. The scene was really breathtaking. As in. When we finally reached the main falls, (after about an hour of paddling) we just sat there and held up our umbrella making fun of the foreigners.

* The Swedish/Dutch people were all sporting handsome trunks...with big bellies to add go withü
* The Korean people wore raincoats which did little for them to remain dry while shooting the rapids.

My mom actually wanted to shoot the rapids but I was worried about my clothes. The trip back to dry land wasn't until another hour or so. So we just sat there, took pictures and then went back.

After another long drive at about late afternoon, we finally reached Caliraya lake. It was at this time that my butt was really aching due to oversitting(?). My parents were still reluctant if we will just dirve back home or look for a place to spend the night in. We found this resort across the lake and the accommodations were fairly cheap. Too bad it was fully booked. So, we tried the recreation center just beside it. Although the price at stake was like 5k for a night with three meals, we took it because we were dead tired. (I'm currently laughing at my mom who's recommending that Barbie Almalbis just enter showbiz and be an actress because she can't sing 'daw') --->(Kasi Summer Day's playing in the backgroundü) So there. The meals were presented in buffet style (so, sugapaan na 'to) and the room was quite homey.

The place was cool. I think it's a theoretical idea of how Eagle Ridge might look like. It's like a huge recreation center(that's what it basically is). There were like 72 air-conditioned rooms plus a lot fo cottages. Activities in the waterfront ranged from canoeing, jetskiing, wind surfing, speed boating, steam boating and a whole lot more. Inside the center you can go horseback riding, swimming, play foos ball, earth ball, softball, mud sliding(too bad I wasn't able to try it) and a pile of stuff more.

So there. After checking in, it was almost time for dinner so we headed to the 'grand' dining area only to find a whole lof of people falling in line before the buffet table. So we ate a lof of food. I was really stuffed, not to mention really tired. Before we retired to bed, my mom and I decided to check out the place. We walked around and when we were getting eaten by ants, we decided to go back to our room and rest. Well, at least after that, I fell asleep. But my parents toured the place some more.

When we woke up the next morning, we were hurrying. You know. Para di ma-late sa breakfast.ü Then, we went out to take some pictures. We took some sa garden, sa may horse. Then we decided to go on canoeing. I convinced my mom to allow me to go on wind surfing. But the facilities were out so I was stuck with another boating adventure with my family. I was scared to death because even if we wore life vests, we're gonna drown in more or less 50-150 feet of water.

After that we went for a swim (my dad and I) then went out for lunch.ü We checked out after taking a short nap. Then we went home but stopped over at Paete Church along the way.ü
