It's a MelloYello Life

After having brunch at Xtremely Xpresso Cafe, we headed off to CamayanBeach Resort. The first time I went there, I didn't get to swim because we spent most of the day at Zoobic Safari and felt that it wasn't worth staying if the sun was setting soon. But now, the beach was first on the itinerary, so by hook or by crook, I was going to get some swimming done. The entrance fee for day trippers was P300 for adults and P250 for kids. When we got there, there was only one cabana left and it was way over at the other end of the beach where it was rocky and far from the restrooms. So, we opted to just rent 8 monoblock chairs at P25 each just so we had a place to put our stuff. It was a great idea because that way we could move around the beach to our liking. Not to mention, MUCH cheaper than a cabana. :) We spent the day sunning ourselves, lazing around, dozing off, playing nintendo games, swimming, walking around the beach, wading in the shallow part of the beach, and taking funny ...

As I've mentioned in my previous entry about Subic, I was soooo excited about this trip because I felt that it was much deserved break for me from the pressures of work and house chores. Of course I made sure that the house was neat and tidy before we left, or else my mind wouldn't have been at peace during my vacation. :) Packed in our trusty Suzuki Alto, with three good friends, we set out for Subic at 8:00 am. Well we could have left earlier but that's another story altogether. Throughout the ride, we passed through quite a number of toll gates. First of which was the one to pass through Balintawak which cost us P36.00, after a few minutes, we paid the P138.00 toll to cruise the NLEX, after an hour we reached the great SCTEX highway and travelled at top speed (to the enjoyment of our driver) and paid P112.00 toll fee at the end. The last toll we had to pay for was the Tipo Highway which cost the smallest fee of all: P18.00. So all in all, for future reference, you need ...

With Holy Week holiday inching in, each day now feels soooo long. It's the first long break after Christmas break and all hard workers in the country are eagerly looking forward to this well deserved vacation. So, where are you going during this glorious 4 -day respite from the hustle and bustle of work? To the mountains? Or the beach? Or maybe stay at home and do the Visita Iglesia on Holy Thursday? My friends and I are going to Subic this Thursday and I'm excited! I've been there once before with Kyle, Alice, and Ridley to see the attractions in Zoobic (which I will write about soon) but we didn't get any swimming into the schedule since we were only there for the day. I'm looking forward to spending the day at the Camayan Resort swim in the clear water and sizzle under the hot summer sun. The last time I went to Subic, I visited Camayan just to have lunch and remember the clear water and white sandy shores beckoning me to take a dip, but alas, night was fal...
