Came 13th July, the day we go back to the reality.
That morning we woke up early, as we need to catch the 7 o’clock bus to Clark. However one room didn’t get the revised departure time; they went down half an hour earlier and Sat and I felt so guilty upon hearing that. That moment, I made up my mind to personally tell everyone on important stuff like ‘gather time’ rather than relying on the others to pass the message.
We did quick check-out and then left GoHotels.Ph via taxi for Philtranco bus terminal at SM Megamall. Unfortunately the taxi could only fit 7 people, so Sat, Aaron and Steven volunteered to brace through the human-packed MRT. The taxi driver dropped us down at the entrance of SM Megamall, vaguely telling us to get to the back of the building. We have no idea where, so we stopped and asked one of the policemen on duty. He asked us to walk further down, take the pedestrian bridge and then turn left.
We did all but taking the pedestrian bridge. All of us were too lazy to do so, haha!
I sincerely thought that the bus terminal is a building – little did I know that it’s actually a bus stop. It’s the same place where we got down when we arrived in Manila 5 days ago. Seeing few people waiting there with luggage further confirmed our doubt on the right place to wait. I was afraid that Sat, Aaron and Steven didn’t know the way so I asked Emily to message the guys on our whereabouts. As we were looking for the accurate landmarks to tell them, they were seen walking towards the bus stop.
We had one last meal in Northern Luzon heading back to Manila. After showering and packing, we headed back to the resort’s restaurant for lunch.
We were truly reluctant to leave the place. Though we were supposed to clear our bills and checked out after lunch, but May and I went for a little more exploration around the resort. Both of us were curious on the number of rooms the resort has and also the vicinity of the resort as we’ve only seen the lobby, restaurant, pool and a row of rooms where we occupied two rooms out of the 4.
My birthday celebration started with buying a new shirt for Sat.
Interesting right? The cow appeared in faded Hard Rock T-shirt which I deeply disapproved, and thankfully he automatically walked to F.O.S outlet to get a new shirt without me barking much.
A quest for one decent shirt turned out to be two as he looks good in both shirts! So I got him one, since I didn’t really exactly get him a real birthday present on his birthday this year. ^^
Then we went for a movie, Grown Ups – where we both laughed until cry.
And a lunch at Sushi King.
Or was it the other way round? Yeah, I think it started with a sushi lunch first, and then a movie at GSC Gurney Plaza.
Been ages since I wrote about food – guess it’s time to write one!
One fine day, many, many months ago – my parents and I visited to have dinner at Dome outlet in Gurney Plaza. Though Dome is popular for very fragrance and delicious coffee, they offer variety of dishes too!
Like usual – we walked in, took seat at the comfy sofa and were given menus. We ordered shortly after browsing through the menu and then waited patiently for our order to come.
MY MUST ORDER : a cup of mocha which came with 2 pieces of my favourite cookie, biscotti!

A gem yet to be discovered by public.
A paradise hidden away from the common eyes.
A heaven sanctuary we found further up the beautiful cove of Blue Lagoon.
The resort that made us felt like staying in than out. The resort that spells Hospitality with capital H whose staffs treat resort guests with full of smile and polite.
Dear all, I’ve decided to dedicate this entry to the resort as I totally fell in love with the resort the moment I reached the place. I knew that this place would be a good escape for us, especially those who had worked their asses off prior to this trip. I knew that everyone would immediately say yes to this resort the moment I saw photos and reviews of this resort.
After getting down from our van, we got our backpacks, said thanks and goodbye to V. He is a good driver and local tour guide. Then we walked to the hallway and stood in front of the reception window. Also seen there were few peddlers standing at the hallway, displaying their goods from their briefcases.
