It was my first time here in this resort in Batangas.  We travelled at about 3-4 hours from Manila (probably because of the South Super highway renovations.  It was raining while we were there too but it didn’t stop us from having some f-f-f-fun!

Romel (the owner) was kind enough to tour us around the place especially the “private-only” spots that only privileged visitors like us see :)  I was not able to take a picture of the private spots as respect and courtesy to the owner, but what my eyes saw were just really majestic.  We stayed in the private cabana that Romel reserved for us.  These areas are only accessible to certified “La Luzians” and thought it was my first time there, I’m just glad I was able to be a part of it, instantly!  Thanks to Poch for serving as our host for the duration of our stay there.

 

 

Pictures and cam-whoring photo ops:

 

Sadly, I forgot my two key cameras! My lumix and my D40!  But I packed the charger for both cameras it was just a forgetful me that his happened… sigh… Though, I still survived the weekend without it and used my handy nokia e63 (super last resort) and my other well-preferred camera phone, the W760i. 🙂
