Batangas Getaway 2014

This first semester of school year 2014-2015 was really a stressful one for me and my friends. So yeah we decided to go out and party and drink and get wasted. Well you got the idea :) So, my friend Jenny volunteered that we can stay at their rest house in Laurel, Batangas. There’s also a resort nearby called Calinisan Beach Resort. But wait there’s more!!! Jenny also offered that we can use their van and we just have to pay for gas. Can this trip get anymore exciting? But like other college students, we sort of uhhm you know, GOT SHORT. There was a point were we almost cancelled this trip due to lack of budget. Thankfully, Jenny’s mom volunteered to cook for us and do the budgeting and she even offered here Fundador for us ;D Thanks tita for saving us!

Tada! Batangas here we come!

But first lemme talk a selfie

and groupie. We stopped at this area on our way to Batangas since the view was really breathtaking.

After the two hour drive… TOUCHDOWN! CALINISAN BEACH RESORT LAUREL, BATANGAS. Yeah, the resort is really clean :)

The resort is located at Laurel – Agoncillo Rd, Laurel, Batangas. They have two pools. One adult pool and one kiddie pool with slide and man made falls.  For the entrance fee of Php 100, we really enjoyed our stay and also we were the only guest that day. I also made a separate review on this resort and you can read it here.

Here’s a picture of us eating the scrumptious food tita prepared for us. We already tasted her spaghetti while on our way to Batagas but the lunch she prepared for us were extremely delicious. We had inihaw na tilapia, ginisang hipon, steamed alimango and adobong pusit. Yum!

After eating, we decided to play drink and play games. What’s the best way to drink and play at the same time? Beerpong baby!

We also enjoyed Em’s underwater camera that day :)

The fun didn’t stop at the resort. We arrived at around 7pm at the farm of our friend. Tall trees of coconuts welcomed us together with cows around the place. After unloading our stuff, there we have it, the star of the night, the videoke machine! Non stop songs were sang from OPM to foreign, love songs to emo songs. But I am very proud that I got the highest score of 92. Well :) It was a fun singing, drinking, eating and playing cards moment for me and my friends.

Sleep eventually started calling us and yes it’s time to hit the pillows and snooze.

Next morning, Jenny and I were the first to wake up and the green view of trees were the first thing I saw. It was indeed very relaxing. I also had a cup of hot choco using this cute orange teacup.

It’s sad that we only had a night to stay in that serene place but we hope we could go back. Ehem Jenny :))

Before going back to Manila, we bought pasalubongs at Rowena’s located at 152 Barangay Francisco,, Tagaytay – Sta. Rosa Rd, Tagaytay, Cavite

Our last stop for this getaway was Nuvali. We wouldn’t miss the chance to feed those Koi at the man made pond.

For me, watching those fishes go wild when you throw in fish feeds is a very fun and relaxing activity.

This sem ender was really a success and fun filled especiall with the company of my Pamilya B and our friends. I am really excited for our next getaway :D
