Count me in, pero likely na sumabay lang ako kay Nona and we'll be like one day late. Yknow, work, eheh.

Note lang po, tulad ng last year outing, iisa ang computation ng per head pagdating sa last day, para hindi magulo. So pag dumating kayo ng 2nd day, same payment pa rin for 3 days and 2 nights.

So ibig ba sabihin nito 100% din si Nona?

[Tanuki]

^ Nasa listahan mo na kaya si Nona.

Parang di ko nakita yung CoS sa photos? Or naduling lang ako? At di naman sa pagiging tamad pero after sana makita lahat ng prospective locations gawa tayo ng parang tally sheet para macompare ng maganda kung anu ano yung meron at wala from the choices. (Think GSM Arena's compare phones option? Pero syempre di ganun kasosyal. ;;; )

At sure na--- si FUJISAI. Ako magtatanong pa sa magulang ko. 8D;; Alam mo naman yung mga yun mahilig magplano ng outing sabay sasabihan na lang ako the day before na. >_>;

I go for private pool plus hot spring... naranasan ko kasi magpublic pool and hassle eh... hehehe...

Kuya Habble, I need final and specific date ng outing para makapag-plot na ako ng Vacation Leave... mukhang maluwag magpaleave ang convergys kahit papaano...

[habble]

As stated in the first post, May 13-15 ang ating outing date.

Sa suggestions niyo, don't worry, noted lahat 'yan.

I have a suggestion.

Napagusapan namin ito ng isang PPF member, na itatago ko na lang muna sa pangalang [hidden]hidden[/hidden].

Let's say, Outing 2008, meron nagbayad ng maaga sa downpayment EB, pero pagdating naman ng outing eh nawalan rin siya ng higaan dahil may natulog sa pwesto niya. Isa ito sa mga hindi nakapag-down at naka-habol lang sa outing.

Kaya ngayon, ito ang magiging patakaran ng downpayment. Hindi lang dahil sa headcount, kundi dahil sa pwesto niyo sa dormitory. Sa madaling salita, kung sino ang mga naunang nagbayad sa downpayment ay siyang unang makakapili ng pwesto at may reserved bed sa dormitory. At hindi ito maaari tulugan ng ibang tao, dahil reserved bed yun ng nakabayad.

Siyempre yung unang magbabayad ay mas bibigyang priority makapili ng pwesto. This way, fair sa lahat ng nauna nakapag-down. Ayos ba?

[Agnus]

ngayon lang ako nakadaan. sana private nalang. ahaha! sakto kakagaling lang namin ng mga workmates sa pansol. win win~

[habble]

Well, may private part naman, pero kung willing kayo mag-shelf ng extra.

Malapit-lapit na ang decision time!!

OK kids, medyo mahaba tong post na to, sensya na

UPDATE:

Just came back from a second round scouting trip to Laguna to check out the resorts that we missed a few weeks ago. So far, napuntahan ko na yung ibang major resorts dun like Hillspa, Palm Springs, Lakeview and Crystal Springs Waterworld. Unfortunately, most of them are so packed, ngayun pa lang punuan na.Hillspa sounded nice pero wala silang rooms that can accommodate more than 6 people. Worse, nanggaling ako sa CSWW - wala na sya. The folks living in the area informed me that CSWW has been gone for more than a year now, so with that, we are finalizing the Los Banos option to two resorts: La Vista Pansol (LVP) and City of Springs (CoS). The Bolinao option is still up, until we hear from Kuya Ricko. We'll be giving him until this week to update us - kung hindi, that option will be cancelled in favor of Los Banos.

Besides that, nabisita ko na din for an ocular inspection yung City of Springs. Here are some pics for your reference:



I took a DLTB Bus servicing the LRT Buendia->Sta. Cruz route. Trips are every 30 minutes, ok naman bilis nya, plus dumadaan sya sa Alabang viaduct to pick up more passengers if the bus leaves with plenty of room. Ok naman sya, yun lang, walang Wi-Fi. The fare from LRT Buendia to Pansol is 87 pesos, so I'm assuming mga 90-95 pesos hanggang Los Banos Bayan (where CoS is).



Here's the entrance to City of Springs. Madali lang sya hanapin kahit asa loob ng bayan



This is the main patio where their front desk is. Dyan din yung rec room where they have 24-hour billiards and darts.



The Dalisay Hall, where the main conference halls and the dormitories are located.



Restaurant area. Dyan yung mga tables.



Their adult public pool. Medyo maliit lang sya, pero up to 7ft deep.



Dormitory restrooms/showers. Para talagang dorm LOL



The dormitory. MALAKI sya, 20 beds, 3 airconditioning units.



Another shot of the dormitory.



The lobby to the dormitories and the 2nd level hall. Take note, isolated tong building na to from the rest of the other suites so mukhang pede tayu mag-amok sa loob, OK lang



This block houses the Deluxe Suites at the ground floor, and the Standard Rooms upstairs.



The Deluxe Suite interiors. Me indoor jacuzzi.



Honeymoon Suites, me square pool sa loob LOL



The Lakeside block, where they have two private pools downstairs, and the Lakeside Suites upstairs.



The private pools. Yan yung included sa Private Pool Package. Extreme diving ba



Overlooking yung private pool area sa Laguna Lake hehe



That spit, according to the resort caretakers is actually a public park behind the town hall. Pede tambayan siguro sa gabi.



The Family block, where they have the Family Residences (me kitchen)



Inside a Family Room. Me pool din pero walang kitchen to, yung Residences upstairs daw meron.

So there you have it. Overall, a bit subpar to Kuhala Bay, but I think it's pretty acceptable, given the price.

Hope that helps you kids decide

Natawa ako dun sa Orchids sa may kama e, parang pangbomba films

[TerryBogard]

Wow, nag scouting ka pala this weekend miff. Sana sinabi mo para nakasama ko.

Nakakatuwa naman yung slides. Mukhang masaya pag tripan.

Mukhang di ako makakasama sa outing na ito. Kung sakali, isa ko sa mga hahabol (so malamang wala akong tulugan, haha).

Trabaho talaga sagabal sa social life.
