Tayabas,Quezon:Bukal na Mainit -Hotspring 2015

CHURCH OUTING May 17 Bukal na Mainit- Hotspring, Mauban

We had our annual church outing at Mainit Hotspring in Mauban Quezon.We went there early so we can find a good spot- near a grill,near toilets and showers and the pool.We also enjoyed the pool all to ourselves.The pool near our cottage is shallow so it wasn't very hot.There were a number of pools.The oldest one and the pool near that are the hottest of them all.Most old people go there.There is also a small steam bath where you can sit not more than 30 minutes. At around 10 AM ,people started coming in large groups.It wasn't a special holiday morning but there were so many people,almost all the cottages were occupied.It was a big hit "sa tag-init"!

Majayjay,Laguna:Taytay Falls 2015

Majayjay Labor Day

finding our spot

so coooold

under the falls

we just have to take this picture!

During Labor Day holiday families and friends flock different places to grill,swim,play the guitar and do other recreational activities.This year,we decided to go back to Taytay Falls in Majayjay,Laguna. It is not too far from our place and it fits everyone's budget.Last year,I didn't see any souvenir stores, concrete stores nor eateries,but now there are a few of them near the entrance.The vegetable vendors are still there,selling sweet potatoes and vegetables.Coffee is also sold there because you would want to have a sip after a dip in the nearly frigid waters.Wow! I was so cold but I'm glad that I was able to stay in the water for about 30 minutes, before I could just stay for 5 minutes and had to change right away.I think it had something to do with my new mineral supplement -Quantumin plus (http://www.quantuminplus.com.ph/)

Again, Kuya Ato drove us there.He's actually our go to driver for nearby trips,even house moving and he was also the one who helped us move our glass cabinet in our printing shop.

Agdangan,Quezon:50th Wedding Anniversary of Arlene's Parents

Our friend Arlene who lives in Laoag, visits her hometown twice a year. It was her parent's wedding anniversary so she invited us to meet her relatives.They have a big clan indeed and it is very common among Filipinos to gather together during important events no matter where they live near or far they'd come!I don't have a big clan I think and only a handful of my relatives gather with us in my mother's house during Christmas time.

After lunch,most of the people left for their homes far away.Arlene brought us to the beach to pray and spend time together.It was a long walk from their house to the beach but it is bearable.There were many resorts lined up in the stretch of the shore.Most of the area are cordoned off from the public.We didn't intend to swim so we just asked one of the care takers to allow us to pass through and see the ocean.She was reluctant at first because of the dogs roaming around,perhaps to ward off strangers,in the end she allowed us.We went back to her little store to drink soda and eat some snacks.
