Canyon Cove Nasugbu

My officemates planned to have a summer outing 'bout 2 months ago I think. It was supposed to be an early February event but due to a lot of weekend activities lined up and others' co-curricular activities, minabuti naming gawin ito ng March 6, 2010. Para cute. The membership fee is 8800 and that includes the 2 day 1 night stay. Kasama na rin ang 4 breakfast buffet. If your 12 in a group pwede na ang 750 for the accommodation. So why not poknat.


And so the time has come. I arrived at around 6:20am the call time is 6:00am. Promise I tried my best to come on time.


This picture was shot at around 7:00 am. We are expecting a headcount of 9 but here we are. See? ang mga pinoy nga naman. tsk tsk tsk!


Actually we already had bunutan the day before kung kanino sasakay. But we ended up riding sa 1 sasakyan. whew! alam na! Around 12:00pm when we reached the place.




It was awesome! Feeling ko nag-level up na kami nung nakita ko yung lobby. Lalo na nung nakita ko yung pool...


We had our lunch dun na din kasi 2pm pa naman ang check in time. Dahil nag breakfast naman kami ni friend, nag salad at cheese cake lang kami. grabe 30 minutes. Kung alam ko lang na kukunin nya din sa buffet table ang salad ko, ako na lang sana ang nagprisinta. Take note, I ordered frozen salad pero ni isang bakas ng yelo wala. umay na umay ako. After namin kumain, binulungan ako nung waiter, "mam pwede na po kau kumuha sa buffet table, hindi na nila mahahalata yan" uy! pagkakataon ko na to. grab grab grab! medyo nahiya naman ako ng konti. fruits and potato croquettes lang ang kinuha ko. So binibigyan ko na kau ng tip ha. kya lang I forgot the name nung waiter. Hehehe! Goodluck n lang sa inyo.


Since we will break the 4-person-per-room policy, we went there by batch. hehehe! para-paraan lang yan. Syempre hindi ako pumayag na 2nd batch ako. When I saw this bed, overlooking ang view sa deck, yun na! inagaw na namin nung friend ko ang moment at nag decide na dun kami matutulog. o diba ang ganda? Hindi na napakali si friendship kya nauna kami magswim swim. Ayun una kaming naging Dora. Mga lakwatserang negra. Nag kayak din kami. It was my first time and guess what... it was also my first day(I think you know what I mean. Girl thing). Ang tanong, nagpatalo ba ko sa kanya? NEVEEERRR!!! hahahah! hala sige sagwan dito sagwan dyan! Nagtatatakbo lang ako sa shower room pag paparating na sya.

Sunset na. Hinabol ko sya ng makita kong iniiwan na nya ko. Pero masyado syang mabilis. Ayun ga-tuldok na lang.




The ever beautiful lobby.



Our room (yung kumot pang 2 bed lang kya narealize ko na yung kama namin sa may bintana e hindi tlaga kasama sa tulugan. I asked someone from house-keeping department pero 75 pesos daw ang ordinary kumot nila and 200 ang comforter kya hinila n lang namin ang 2 golden telang maliliit galing sa 2 kama)





Ang plano ng group, sa bayan mag didinner pero dahil gutom na gutom na kami ni friend, nagpaiwan na kami at dun mag dinner ng buffet. They ended up eating in Jollibee. Bwahahahaa! (May pinagkaiba ba ang Jollibee Batangas sa Jollibee Manila?!?!?!). Buffet is worth 600 for non-member and 480 for members. 20% off kaya sulit. Then we slept.



I alarmed my clock 5:30am but I snoozed it five times so nagising ako at around 6am to witness sunrise. Ako lang ang nagising. Una akong pumunta sa dagat. Hindi ko naisip na hindi nga pla sisikat ang araw kung san sya lumubog. Hay! kaloka! pero anyway, hindi pa rin ako nag-give up.



The pool is open from 7am to 9pm only so at the time na nandun ako, wala pang tao
Si lola nagtatai-chi





Dahil ako lang, pinilit kong makuhanan ang sarili ko. Inilapag ko nalang sa sand yung cam ko. hehehe!



Hay! this shot was the worst. I set the timer 10 seconds so I ran para mahabol ang scene na to. Ayun nakalimutan ko matinik nga pla ang bougainvilla na yan. Sugat sugat ang kamay ko




I love this pic. I also saw a few na nagtayo ng tent.










Nagising na sila at last. I had my breakfast. Cute!

We rented a rubber boat kasi my goal kami. To conquer the rock barrier. 500 per hour nga pala sya.



Here I come! Pero alam nyo ba ang behind the scene nyan? When we reached the huge rock formations, nauna yung friend kong sumampa then took a solo pic. Then it's my turn. We heard someone whistles but we ignored it eventually kasi hindi naman namin sila nakikita kung kami nga ba ang tinutukoy nila. Bumalik na kami sa boat. Medyo wala na yung mga asungot na pito. Akala siguro nila tapos na kami. Then nagpalit kami nung mga nasa boat. Sila naman ang sumampa. Maya maya may dumating ng jet ski. Sinasaway kami kasi hindi daw steady yung mga batong yun bka ibaon kami ng buhay sa ilalim. What an adventure. Since may mga life vest naman kami, nag swim swim na kami halfway pabalik.. I wish we could have rented snorkeling gadgets. Super ganda sa ilalim ang linaw.






Uwian na!!!!
