SWIMMING AT MALAMIG RESORTS

It’s Angel’s birthday and lucky for her and her mom---they won in jueteng! So what better way to celebrate than have a …swimming party!!! It’s our third actually for the month of May but the kids don’t ever get tired of a pool – any pool! So off we went this time to visit Malamig Resorts, another pretty cool although already quite an old resort in the Bulacan area…














There were many pools…two kiddie pools, a wave pool, numerous deep pools for adults and teens and their biggest draw – the slides…which the kids truly enjoyed!













Still another outing with minimal costs on our part...it's nice having some people to share the costs with like this...because we do really want to make the kids happy all the time...but we just can't because of budgetary constraints, especially with school opening getting near and the expenses that entails! So I hope, our outings would be more collaborations like these...so it would be easier for all of us!

SWIMMING AT GALILEE

This weekend we had another ‘instant’ swimming outing because (unknown to me) the hubby texted pala last night to ask me if I wanted to join Edward and his family in an outing to Jed’s Island Resort. But since I slept early last night, I never read the text message, so when he came in at around 5 in the morning, he wondered why we weren’t ready yet…so we hurriedly fixed our things to join him since it would not entail much expense on our part. You see, Edward’s sister recently arrived from Japan and her daughter couldn’t really take the heat hence the decision to go swimming. They needed the hubby to drive for them and so he would be taking us with him…I relented to go since it would be one of the few times we’d be joining his family FOR FREE! So even if I do not really know this people all that much, I figured, maybe it’s time to get to know them now…after all, they were still Jun’s relatives!

We first went to Jed’s Island Resort but since the place was full and didn’t look very nice, we went to a different resort – Galilee which was very pretty. It had many pools, I think around three but there was very little shade once one gets in the water. Even the water seemed clean…my only beef was the restroom/shower room but I didn’t have to stay long there naman, so it was OK.











What was more than OK was the food…it was simply overflowing! Which suited Kit very well…he also was able to adapt well to the people around him since being him, he gets friendly with almost anyone even if he just met them. Totally unlike Kaye and myself since even if we talk a bit with the people around us…we would often just keep to ourselves, swim quietly in our little corner and just play with each other…well, I guess that’s just how diverse our personalities are…

A SIMPLE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION


We had a simple birthday celebration lang today for Kaye’s birthday since it was just the four of us here at home at San Jose…so rather than cook for four or order take-out, we just spent the evening at SM Fairview. After work hours and since it was a Tuesday (so that means no shuttle for the hubby), we texted Kit to just meet us at SM Fairview around 6PM. Our first stop was Tom’s World where the kids (and even the hubby!)had fun playing games and collecting tickets to get a pretty gift for the birthday girl… while I just took pictures of them playing and goofing around…














After the kids had their fill of games, we ate dinner at KFC then before going home, we bought a cake at Red Ribbon which she blew and we ate at home na…truly a simple yet still fun-filled celebration even with just the four of us…

SWIMMING WITH THE KIDS AT VILLA CONSTANCIA


We had an “instant” swimming outing today because the kids just won’t let go of their week-long plan to go swimming at a pool this weekend. But their ‘plans’ fizzled out when they realized that the pool they’ve been eyeing to visit is five feet deep all over and thus is not ideal for kids like them…But they won’t give up that easily since they already requested P50.00 entrance fees from their parents and had bought chichiria as their baon and so they ‘pestered’ Jun to bring them somewhere…anywhere…where they could swim and so we ended up going to Villa Constancia in Tenejeros.

The place had two pools – a small one for kids and slightly bigger one for adults. The place was clean naman and what’s more we had the entire place to ourselves. The smaller pool even had a tent above it so that the kids weren’t so exposed to the glaring sun.





We brought the food much later, coz Jun brought the kids earlier, after eating breakfast this morning – just adobo (which Ditse cooked) and some hotdogs for the kids to eat as snacks. We also bought pakwan for dessert and a huge pot of cooked rice. There were just a few of us…since this wasn’t exactly planned but we all had fun and even Ditse who had no plans at all of swimming had no choice but to swim too because the heat was just too much to bear…it was one good way to beat the heat even for just one day!
