Last March 22-23, 2014, I flew along with five of my officemates to Manila. I attended their team building in Punta de Fabian, Baras Rizal.
We rented a van that can occupy 20 people. Our meeting place was at SM Megamall at 12 noon. We were able to leave the mall at around 1pm. And then we reached the resort at around 2:30pm. The place was really clean and attractive as well as the rooms. Everything was really taken cared of. I had a very fun weekend with my boyfriend's team. :)

Baguio City 2014
Last February 22-24, 2014, I went back to Baguio along with my boy friend and his friends. It is my third time there. But what is unique on my third visit in this place is that the city is more crowded than the usual since it is Flower month. They call their festival as Panagbenga festival. Since it is a busy month in Baguio, expect more people strolling around the city and it was surely very hard for us to find a taxi cab to travel from one place to another. We also booked our bus ticket ahead of time (one week before the actual date of departure) otherwise, we would be one of those chance passengers on the terminal.
In our three day vacation, we stayed at Dela Cruz Transient House (Address: Hamada Road, Queen of Peace). You need to ride a taxi cab to reach the city. The place is very clean. It basically looks like an apartment. It has two storeys with three bedrooms and two bath rooms. As shown below, it has four units with the same amenities inside. The overnight stay is 6,000 for a maximum of fifteen people.
On our third day, we had to go back to Manila since our flight is 7pm the same day. We left Baguio at aroung 11am.

On our first day in Baguio, we visited almost the same places I visited last November 2013. Just like the Chinese Bell Church, Camp John Hay and Mines View Park. We also visited the Strawberry Farm and Tam-awan Village.
On our second day, we spent the morning on the streets since there are lots of flower parades. Here are some of what we have seen. I was personally fascinated with all of these.
Alcoy, Cebu 2014
Last February 8-9, 2014, me and my officemates here in Cebu had some special guests from Manila. They wanted to hit the beach rather than go other places, maybe because the beaches here in Cebu are way better than others. I can proudly say that since I am a full-blown Cebuana. We decided to go South bound since it was hard for us to find a proper resort to stay over the weekend if we go North since the beaches there were affected by Yolanda last November 2013.
It was around 10am when we left South Bus Terminal. After two hours, we reached Dalaguete and decided to visit Obong Spring where we also had our lunch there. Since the rain was pouring so hard that time, we decided not to take a dip on the spring. Right after we had our lunch, we took a tricycle going to Tingko Beach, Alcoy. The fare going to Tingko Beach is twenty pesos per head. And the travel time is 20-30 minutes. We stayed at Barangay Beach House over the weekend. The overnight stay there costs 1,200 pesos per room. The room is airconditioned and has one double bed where it can accommodate four people. The room is not that fancy but it is quite clean. Since we are ten in the group, we reserved two rooms. (Barangay Beach House only has two rooms). The room has a wide balcony with wooden sofas. Our two gentlemen friends slept at the balcony so that the females and the visitors can sleep on the rooms. Basically, the price is really cheap for a group of ten. :)
During our stay there, we bummed at the beach most of the time and played on the floating cottage accross the sea. If I am not mistaken, the use of floating cottage is fifteen pesos for the whole day use.
I found a blog about Alcoy and showed some pictures of Barangay Beach House. Here it is:

The next day, we accompanied our Manila friends on their whaleshark watching activity which is in Oslob. I did not swim with them since I already tried this last year with the same group of friends. (I also blogged about it last year)
