I've been to several outings na since I started participating regularly with PPF, and I really didn't have any problems with both location. Kaya ko naman magadjust sa setting ng whichever resort. But there are a few things na napansin kong mas convenient sa bawat isa:
Kuhala:
1. Their pool is the better choice during summer for daytime swimming... as pointed above.
2. Mas marami choices at mas kumportable ang pwesto na kakainan mo. If you want to literally sit on the grass, posible. Sa CoS, no table, tumayo ka dyan
3. Mas malaya makakakilos around the cooking area unlike sa CoS, na nasa tabi ng pool and madaming gumagamit ng common grill.
4. Either way, mas malapit ang pool sa rooms natin kesa sa CoS.
CoS:
1. If you suddenly felt hungry in the middle of the night and there's no food left (malamaaaang) or ubos na ang baon mong snacks, malapit lang ang public market at may choice ka pa kung saan bibili ng food.
2. Agree ako sa point ni Miff na (if at all possible) bring all you need before going to the outing. But there are instances na makakalimutan natin ang ilang bagay out of excitement, agitation, whatever. In this case, mas pabor na may malapit na (major) supermarket para sa mga kulang and naubos nating necessities.
3. The pool may not be perfect for day swimming but the water temperature's great for night swimming, especially for those na mahilig sa gabing lubluban at takot magkasipon pagkatapos. Wag lang kalimutan magpunas agad para hindi lamigin pagkaahon.
4. Mas maluwag ang gagalawan mo sa kwarto and ok ang pwesto ng air conditioner ( hindi natatakpan tulad sa Kuhala.. though I hope nabago na ang pwesto nun kasama ng renovation)
5. Hindi masyadong toxic pagdating sa paggamit ng CR. Parang hindi ko narinig na nagkaroon ng pila sa mga gagamit.
So ang bottom line dito is, it's either freedom to move within or convenience to outside world.
So far, yan pa lang ang macocomment ko regarding the resorts. Sa mga attendees naman tayo.
1. Clean up after your own. Please lang, kung may kalat ka man, huwag mo nang antayin na may iba pang pupulot nyan sayo. People won't entirely do it out of charity. They would do it because it personally inconveniences them. We all basically live in the same place and it is impossible for the others to ignore your kalat. Wala naman tayo sa mga bahay natin para hintayin nating may pumulot sa kalat natin diba? Respeto lang sa bawat isa.
2. Regarding sa sinabi ni Miff about laptop-ers and tulog-ers, I would understand the ones sleeping during the day (pwede kasing graveyard shift sila and panggabi lang gising or kinulang lang talaga sa pahinga), since hindi naman sasama yang kung hindi nila gusto makasama sa sayahan ng grupo. Pero dapat siguro wag na din magdala ng laptops, since it will eat up most of your time, especially at Kuhala with their new free WiFi. Ewan ko sa inyo kung ano ang desisyon niyo regarding handheld games, but I would suggest you only use them when there's no group activity going on. Or better yet, wag na, since sa ppf parties madalas naman kayo mag console/handheld games. I think ilang taon nang sinasabi to sa mga feedbacks, no?
3. In case we ran out of ingredients/toiletries/necessities, if someone (or a group) is going out to buy them, please please make sure that the list they're carrying is complete. I suggest that if our stuff is running low or out or forgotten, notify the mods asap. The one kulang-bili sa labas will only work in CoS, but what about Kuhala, where the nearest supermarket is at the next town pa? Hassle diba? Kaya if you can help it, pack stuff that is good enough for 4-5 days, if possible.
4. If you are doing something (be it cooking, cleaning, playing, swimming, showering, whatevs) and you are having some trouble, please don't hesitate to ask for help. Even if hindi niya toka ang ginagawa mo, pwede naman tumulong ang kung sino man, basta magrequest ka. To those who aren't doing anything and want to help, do not hesitate to help. Form of bonding din ang paggawa ng iisang trabaho, diba?
5. Mods: Just make sure we have a can of air freshener at hand ha? In case we suddenly encounter a Chernobyl.
6. Dun sa magtse-Chernobyl: Pakibukas ang bintana at pakikuha agad ang air freshener sa mga mods ha?
