bebuy in batangas :p

Just got home from a weekend trip to Laiya, San Juan, Batangas with five of my girls (We missed you, Arlene!). I'm a little bit toasted, not to mention a little too tired from the traffic (Do not underestimate the wrath of weekend SLEX traffic!), but completely happy and satisfied that my weekend was put to good use before next week's mountain of workload :)

Leah, Chuk, Mariel, Liv and Seppie: THANKS FOR A REALLY GREAT WEEKEND!!! *mwah*

Nice place--A/C huts, a pool, videoke, clean waters (well, in the morning, that is).

Buffet--hindi pa ba obvious sa title what the whole weekend was about? haha. Thanks to Mariel's mom for the yummy Sunday lunch! You rock, Tita!

Kayaking--Yel and I decided to flex our muscles a bit, after pigging out waaaaay too much on buffet, um, everything. Kayaked for about an hour, which involved ferrying Chuk and Leah in and out of the water :p Super nice kayak keeper named Yulo :)

Karet (?)--the act of harvesting buko by crossing bamboo poles suspended 50 feet in the air between coconut trees. Too bad we weren't able to see a mangkakaret firsthand, but I could just imagine the thrill of doing it.

Trampoline--not so good for not-so-limber 24-year-olds! hahaha

Ancestral houses--was on HTC-mode when Mariel took us to see (and have lunch, ano pa ba?) at her family's ancestral house which dates back to approximately the late 1800's to early 1900's. Met her Inay Deng (a very cool, very fasyon 90-years-young lady), her Mom and Dad (who fed us like there's no tomorrow), her siblings, and a couple of very pilyo but very adorable little boys called Troy and Mac :p Cool house, cool town, cool family. No wonder Yel turned out that way :)

Pictures--of course! http://wanjeloo.multiply.com soon!
