Our first overnight swimming this year (part 1)

Well hello beautiful souls! I am once again sorry if I had missed your articles. I tried to catch up but then yesterday we had some sort of celebration because it was the 45th wedding anniverasary of my parents in law. Although my mother in law has been in the hands of our Lord for a long time already, we are still celebrating it every year like a typical Filipino I may say. So we celebrated it by bringing foods in the cemetery and invited some relatives. Also last Saturday, the family decided to have an overnight swimming at the resort we had visit 2 years ago before the pandemic started. My sister in law bought vouchers and discount card from the resort and will be expired this year, so in order to not waste it we just decided to use it up that night. It was a sudden decision because my brother in law Jojo is going to leave the country very soon. We might not have a chance to have a family swimming because he will be busy with some of his requirements.

We left the cemetery around 630 in the evening and proceed to the resort's location which is just 30 minutes away from the cemetery. Everyone was excited but I am not. Well the resort have a very nice view that you can enjoy all its amenities when it's daytime. The last time we got there we also had an overnight swimming but we extended until the next morning. You can appreciate well it's surrounding and enjoy endulging its pools. But since the majority wants it, even my kids were so happy knowing they're gonna swim again after along time, who am I to burst their happiness.

We've got some issues before entering the resort regarding the discount vouchers. I thought we'll leave the area soon but then after some negotiations, the staffs allowed us to get inside finally. We are 20 persons in all including the kids. And after using the discount cards our total bill was only 6600 php and that includes the cottages, the entrance fee and the condotel that will serve as our sleeping area for the night. The other staff leads us to our condotel and the one we got looks a lot different from what we got last time. We took some photos while the kids started to change their clothes because they were very ready and excited to swim. When everything else was settled, the girls and I bonded over a cup of coffee. It was my first cup of coffee in a while after I quit drinking it last year. The marites in us were shaking as we share some fresh chika about this and that. Someone from the room even took us a stolen shot and showed us the capture photo. We all laughed at it as we really looked like we are gossiping or talking about someone.

I was a little bored because I don't have internet connection nor data. It was my fault because I forgot to buy load for my simcard earlier while I was still at home. I only have 20 php in my account balance, not enough to registered my sim to data promo. That was also the reason why I haven't got the chance to visit my account here to check some articles and interact with others. It was already past 11 in the evening when I was able to connect from my social media account. Thanks hubby for the load. That time the kids were done swimming and changed on their sleeping wear too. I let them eat first because after swimming all of them got hungry.

The whole resort is a very nice, recommended for company who wants to have team building. They have areas for other activities aside from swimming. Speaking of swimming I think they have more than 5 swimming pools inside unfortunately we can't access the other pools during nightime specially the wave pool. What I like most about this resort is that a lot of pine trees can be seen. There are plenty of plants and beautiful flowers as well. But at night they all look spooky and scary at the same time. At around past midnight I think we are the ones left inside the resort and that's where our crazy evening began.

To be continue.
