My officemates and I had a fun time away from work last weekend when we went to Subic for our annual outing (of friends). naturally, i took tabs along because this is the only outing i can comfortably have with friends. previously i went with my college batchmates but since we wanted to save some expense we decided to forego that outing. Its really such luck that Stips, one of my officemates was able to take a van at literally the last few minutes before we were to leave. That saved us some 300 bucks for transpo at least.
When we got to Subic we found out we didn't have a reservation at the hotel (Ann Raquel's) that we wanted to stay in because they mistakenly booked us at their resort. Of course we demanded that we get rooms there! We intended to go around Subic and getting booked out of nowhere would not be comfortable for us. Finally they gave us two rooms, 5 beds, just right for the 9 of us.
First stop in the morning was badminton, which tabs and i decided to forego, however we went with them for a while and they rented table tennis while waiting for their reservation at the court. Tabs played and of course, got all sweaty for that, after all the drives he did. We decided to go back to the hotel and wait for the others, pneumonia in summer is not at all good.
After all the guys were through with the game they went back to change and we went to Patmik for "sisig" lunch. We then toured around some duty free shops and went to look for some bats and monkeys. At 4pm we arrived at the All Hands Beach which was so full of people. We found a nice spot and a few of us went for a dip while the others played volleyball. After swimming and snacks we played patintero and touch ball. First time to play in the beach and had loads of fun laughing our hearts out.
We went home tired and happy.
As if the day's activities were not enough, we had dinner at boardwalk and found another place for videoke at 2000bucks consumable, unlimited time. Imagine that! Too bad we didn't find it earlier or we would have gone there for dinner already. We finished our videoke session at 2:30am!
The next day we woke up late with aching bods. Tabs, who was supposed to leave early by bus to get to the office at 10, woke up at 7 but went back to sleep. Poor guy, since we decided to leave at 1pm to go back to Manila, Tabs just decided to stay and ride back with us. We were supposed to try to go-cart but the cost was too much so we just contented ourselves with taking pics, afterwhich we went back to duty free shops and the nike outlet store. Last stop was lunch as expresso cafe. yummy 22" pizza at a good price. we left subic at around 2:30 and was back in manila by 5.
would love to post pics BUT with my current to do's at work, i'm having a really hard time. this post alone took me 2 days to finish. waaaahhh!!!!
