Mabuhay....

Finally I stepped into Phillipines. Saw Phillipinos everywhere but it's first time to step on their land :) My friend, Ann and I took a same flight there. We took midnight flight, budget airlines, Cebu Airlines. We departed at about 1am and reached Manila at 4.30am. Queueing almost an hour in the immigration, then found our way to go to domestic airport at T3, lvl 3.
We waited in less than an hour and met Ching, our friend from Taiwan. She also took a flight at about 1.30am and reached Manila earlier than us, then we took a same flight to Legazpi.

It's an hour journey there. We were picked up by the hotel and they drove us to one place for us to take a boat to the resort. We saw the active volcano, Mt Mayon everywhere. It was quite nice :) When we took a boat, I could feel a taste of freedom and mixture with nature. Love it very much. it's a thing that I find in Sgp. Suddenly all my 'fan nao' went away. Hahahaha....

We took a buggy - electric car for golfer to the lobby of the hotel. We were welcomed with simple folded leaves shaping fish and were given cold towel. In the lobby, we were given coconut drink and keropok (fish crackers) and its vinegar dip. We found it weird at first, but after a while, it was kinda addictive to eat more and more hehehehe...

Our room was deluxe room and located behind the villas area. Lucky me and my friend read some comments about the hotel room before coming here so we would know what the situation was likeand expect less. Although the location was not in the middle, but the room is nice. Kinda modern style and okelah... Only that they delivered our luggage quite late... So we were just waiting hopelessly inside our room. Kekeke...

They announce lunch open from 11 to 2pm., but when we reached at 11.40am, it was not ready at all. Lunch would only be started at about 12.30pm. There was salad as opening. Tom yam soup was very nice!! I took two bowls of it :) There were BBQ chicken with baked potatoes and local vegetables. I tried bbq fish as well, but not nice. When we almost started dessert, my friend came wth a plate of BBQ pork. Wow!! It was amazing! Tasted really good!! I took another plate after that :D and ordered a pint of San Mig in the hot afternoon. What a nice afternoon!!!

We finally met the groom to be and he sat with us chit chatting. He brought Krispy Kremes for lunch as well, but not so fresh la... Overall was good. After lunch we went back to our room. We took a bath and took a nap til 5.30pm.

When we woke up, we got ready and ask the buggy driver to fetch us from the main door.
We were late one hour from the supposed starting time, but it was ok hehehe... We met up with other ex-schoolmates as well and had a great reunion. We sat on a long table, having a great dinner serving babi panggang (roasted pork), roasted beef, grill fish, etc. Simple but nice :) We could order alcohol beverages, paid by the couple, and so was the dinner. We were sitting under the half moon and stars, and had a good conversation like we never had before hehehe... There was a live band, choir by children from neighbourhood area, etc.

There was a sudden rain at about 10.30pm. We decided to go back to our room at 11pm. We took a bath and took a rest now. Make sure we have enough rest for tomorrow's activity.

Well, I'm so sleepy and tired, but happy. Allow me to have a good rest... Good night everyone!! Have an enjoyable weekend!!! Greetings from Misibis!!!
