Just this weekend (specifically sunday going monday), we had a great summer getaway experience in Calatagan Batangas! We had a blast, I tell you, even without the alcoholic beverages. Sweet huh? It was an amazing and relaxing trip since we literally owned the pool and beach front starting 4pm sunday until the following day. At first I was quite disappointed with the beach scene since the place was almost jampacked but when we were left to ourselves, we just threw our worries to the wind and inhaled the fresh sea breeze (enter Pure Shores song by All Saints c") ). What made things even better was the fact that I was with hubby dear, cousins, dearest amigas and my niece. We just enjoyed the whole experience because we cooked our own food, prepared our own drinks and munched the night away. The swimming experience was also great because we were the only ones using the pool and the beach was at low tide until 12 noon of monday so it was easier to walk to the balsa and take a dip in the overly salty water. Exfoliation rounds were done well... first with coarse and pebbly sand, then with the finest sand in the coast of Batangas. Everything went on really well especially when we exercised our vocal chords by using the videoke machine located in the resto (take note, you have to drop those five peso coins in!). We sang and danced and smoked and simply bonded together... thus the new improved saying, which only we could understand:
"BIRDS OF THE SAME FETHER, MAY HAVE THE SAME METHER" :)
I hope we could all go back there and bring our big families with us. It will definitely be one heck of an experience! But for this intimate trip of seven adults plus one kiddo, this will indeed be one for the books...one affair that I will remember and hold dear in my heart because of down-to-earth people who are not pretentious and who have all touched my heart in one way or another. ONE LOVE EVERYONE! :)
