The view from the condo
This weekend the 3 families (plus extensions from Sis' side) went to our second cousin Shirley's condo at Tagaytay Highlands. Being a vacation without access to the Internet, I was sure I was gonna get bored quickly. It didn't help that I wasn't able to do the 2 activities I was expecting to do for this vacation: gym workout and a massage. My friend Becca kept recommending the latter, though failed to mention the 900 pesos (give or take) needed to get one. Ending up going swimming, instead.

The cool winds negated the need for air-condintioning, at least for a while. I slept in one of the 3 rooms available in the condo, turned the AC on and used the bedsheet for a blanket, with my biological clock waking me up around 7:30 Sunday morning. (Though beforehand the electric clock said 11:45 so I first thought everbody slept the morning away.) Ate breakfast at the condo, rode both cable tram and car (definite deja vu moment from my last trip here about 2 years ago), had steak for lunch, went around the zoo, then finally headed home, w/ a brief stopover at my cousin's house in Bianan, Laguna.
Erap's lodge (center top) and Mike Velarde's lodge (lower right w/ the pine trees facing the road). Rich bastards.
All in all if I could have access to the condo again I'd bring a date there, because seems to be that kind of place. A resthouse up in the hills, away from the hustle and bustle of the city; relatively clean air and clear skys, and a resort-like atmosphere. It just screams for pootie-tang.
