[takingbacksubject]

...hula ko...isa din ako sa mga hahabol,pero, kailangan ko ng kasabay.XD

[JoeGibken]

Since anlayo in a sarcastic way ang parehong lugar galing sa amin, kahit ano sa dalawa xD But I'm opting for City of Springs para private nga (sa may Munisipio sa Bayan to no?)

And yeah, sama na ako this time at di ko na proproblemahin ang paguwi

[Dee]

Whoa. May swabeng sasama ngayong outing.

[JoeGibken]

Uy, second outing na ito ni Erin kung ganoon.

2nd outing na niya sa PPF pero hindi pa siya member

[habble]

Alright, 2 days since my last post..

Anyway, for the update!

Bolinao wil be cancelled out for the outing choices, leaving us with La Vista Pansol and City of Springs resort, both in Calamba Laguna.

The manual poll starts now! Napagdesisyunan namin na manual poll ito, which means ang mga sasama sa outing at makakapag-down ng maaga, ay pumili na ng desired resort na gusto niyo para sa ating PPF Outing 2011. Dalawa lang naman ang pagpipilian, at para hindi kayo mahirapan, may Pros and Cons ang bawat resort.

Alright, let's start..

Resort 1 - La Vista Pansol

Pros:
- free private pools, guaranteed for every resthouse/dormitory.
- accessible videoke machine (P5/song)
- very huge public pool (wet 'n wild)
- free wi-fi at the lobby (chance to claim!)
- 5-storey slides
- spacious environment
- no additional fees

Cons:
- availability of pools may subject to change
- rooms are limited to 10, so most likely attendees are divided

Inside:







Wet 'n Wild:



Kapag hindi ka nagbayad ng P170, hindi ka makakapasok dito, at doon lang pwede sa mga basic pool. P70/day naman. Pero what, sa Wet 'n Wild na tayo kung dito tayo mag-stay.















Extreme water diving:



Patungo sa rest house (Alam na kung sino ang mga kasama ko):



So eto ang loob ng rest house:



And eto ang private pool (Extreme diving ulet):



Resort 2 - City of Springs

Pros:
- natural hot springs
- very isolated accommodations
- nice view
- cheap, depending on attendance
- dorm-type restrooms (up to 6 simultaneous attacks)
- very accessible concession shops

Cons:
- relatively small public pools
- private pools are for day use only, and with extra charge
- not too spacious, maybe inconvenient during peak season

Pics and other features (c/o Miffster ):




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.

--------------------------------------------

Let the voting begin!!

Regarding Downpayment:

Ang mga makakapag-down by March 31 ay mabibigyan ng early reservation para sa mga pwesto niyo sa dorm/resthouse. Magdidikit kami ng nametag sa dingding ng kama at reserved ito sa taong iyon

Kailangan kasi ng pang-down para makapagpa-reserve sa resort mismo.

Vote now and voice out lang ng concern niyo habang maaga pa

[Dee]

Voting for City of Springs for the following reasons:

- Bigger Rooms (Bigger rooms = more fun sa outings, plus sama-sama pa tayo)
- Pwede mangtrip sa banyo <- (Yun nga lang, pwede ka rin ma-"ate letty" x6)
- May viewing/munimuni area
- Accesible shops in case of emergencies
- Isolated kaya pwedeng magingay sa gusto natin
- Price

===============================================

At since nagsimula na ang botohan at opening up ng concerns, iopen-up ko narin dito yung sinuggest ko kay Habs which is:

No consoles for this outing.

Reasons:

1. Space. (Medyo naging hassle lang nung nasa Kuhala tayo na may nakastation na console sa may pintuan)
2. Pag may consoles, tendency ng mga tao magkukulong lang sa kwarto at maglalaro. Sayang naman yung pinunta sa outing diba?

Para sakin kasi, ito na nga lang ang tanging event na matagal tayong magkakasama, sulitin na natin ang bonding time. Besides, nandiyan naman ang PPF Parties for consoles diba?

Suggestion ko na lang, magdala na lang ng board or card games. Old school outing kumbaga.

TL;DR

Para maiba naman LOL.

Oh and Handhelds and Laptops are a different story, since personal na dala naman ng mga tao ito, parang MP3 player kumbaga. Tsaka madaling itago kung kinakailangan.

City of Springs din ako. Attractive ang LVP pero for some reason, mas gusto ko ang dormitory ng CoS. Pwede magcrossover sa kabilang bed e. **hi labs** loljk.

and oo, wag na muna magdala ng consoles. nababawasan ang bonding times ng grupo. tsaka, hindi na nga tayo nasisinagan ng araw dahil sa work at school, hanggang dito ba naman sa outing nasa loob pa rin tayo ng dorms?

Btw, magkano ang estimated budget for CoS? Parang hindi ko nakita sa 1st page kasi..

No consoles yes, kasi hassle sila sa space. Handhelds pwede, because it wouldn't inconvenience anyone and madaling itago.

Also, kailangan ko pang mandropkick ng mga tao.
