Pictures from my trip @ Mt. Pulag ^_^

*WARNING: Picture Heavy ^_^

As promised, here are some pictures taken during my vacation with my family at Mt. Pulag.

Here's our camp site at the Ranger's Station. My family loves to camp instead of renting a house to stay in so we just chose a flat area and assembled our tent and camping area for our 3 days stay.

The blue tent is our comfort room hehe...yup! that is where we pee at night because the real toilet is far from our tent and it would be much convenient for us to have a place to pee that's very near :)

Here's me just going out of our tent on our second day there. I'm ready for the hiking later that morning :)

Here's our little hiking group. Little not only by numbers but because majority of my companions are kids hehe...We only went up until Camp 1 (6km walk if I remember correctly) because we don't think the kids can walk until the summit then down fast enough for us to be able to return at camp before nightfall.

When we came back to our camp, me and my sister went playing with the camera..We did our fave "jumping" pose hehe...actually, we asked everyone who walked by our tent to do a jumping pose haha ^_^

Since it's already late (around 4pm), we started preparing for dinner. My dad is the cook of the family so you can see him at the back cooking while chatting with his friends. Me, my mom and my sis are just fooling around haha :)

I helped a little by washing used pots and utensils...Although, in my opinion, that is not a small deal since the water is freezing cold because the water supply here comes directly from the mountain :)
See the fog? It is starting to get cold around 4-5pm and the temperature continues to drop as night approaches. I think the second night is the coldest among the 3 days we stayed there.

Here's my last picture of the place..I was standing on top of a hill and below is the vast vegetation of yummy vegetables :)

Oh, and before I forget, this is the main reason why we always go up there..We give out donations to the people on the mountain. Our club, the Land Cruiser Club of the Philippines, really is devoted to going to places rarely reached by outreach programs. We always try to go and reach these people who don't get the donations because they live so far from the main barangay. And since we have 4x4 vehicles, we are able to go to their place even without a real road.

And here is our final shot before going down to Manila..These are the members and their families who joined this year's Mt. Pulag Relief Mission ^_^

Sadly, all the vehicles can't fit inside the frame so you can't see how many cars they are but I think we are 10 vehicles :)

That's it! I hope you enjoyed looking at our pictures ^_^

Bye! I already have my next review..I'll be posting it within the week. Till my next post! God bless everyone!

NOTE: I'm so sorry about my background...I don't know what happened to my blogger template..I'm trying to fix it as soon I can..Hopefully, I won't lose anything during the process..coz last time, all my blog roll got lost...

Review: Club Manila East Resort & Hotel

Another post for today!

Me, my bf and some friends went on an overnight outing at Club Manila East (Taytay, Rizal) last weekend and it's my 3rd time going there. The 2nd one happened 5 years ago and so much had changed! Here are some pictures taken during that day ^_^

We stayed at Don Renato Villa... it has it's own bathroom with hot/cold shower, TV with cable, airconditioner, refrigerator, dining table, comfortable bed and it's own swimming pool outside the room (which is constantly warm so you can still dip in it even at night).. there is also a free breakfast for two. This villa costs Php3,050 only. Time in is at 2pm and checkout at 11:30am the next day.

There is also a covered pool so you can still swim even if the sun is too high. Pardon the picture. I set it on timer mode and placed it in the floor haha ...you can't know how scared I was that it's gonna fall on the water if someone walked by it haha ^_^

There is also a pool for cayaking...although there are only 5 boats available when we went there (the others are still being fixed) we still had fun rowing our boats around..that's a picture of my bf enjoying his exercise ^_^

And their famous wave pools..They have two: Oceanwave and Beachwave. These two have their schedules everyday so just check the time posted. This picture is taken at Beachwave..I really enjoyed this pool. I think I've spent a long time just riding the waves haha ..actually, I think this is the reason why my whole body ached for a couple of days hehe ^_^

CME also have a kiddie pool, a diving pool, a running pool (I don't know what it's called) where you can just ride a "salbabida" (floater) and rest and also a pool with slide.
There are also food establishments inside the resort so you don't have to worry about food. They are prices reasonably so it's okay. They have Jollibee, Chowking, Shakeys and their own restaurant that delivers food in your room.
Our dinner was from Shakeys... a 14inch hawaiian pizza in thin crust and a box of mojos. Yummy! I really love hawaiian pizza haha ^_^
We actually ate this beside the pool outside the room :)

TIPS:
-Don't bring any food or water from the outside since it is not allowed.
-If you are not planning on staying overnight, just bring a padlock for a locker. They have free lockers for swimnmers to keep their stuff while they are in the pools.
-If you plan on staying overnight, I suggest that you reserve a room in advance because it is summer season and you might not have an available room when you come.

Over all, I give this resort 4.5/5...I could give it 5 if only they allow you to bring snacks inside hehe...I hope you'll enjoy your summer too! Bye!
