Summer Outing @ Eagle Point, 16-17 May 2009

At last! After two years of not having summer outings, Bhel was able to organize one for our department (thanks bhel!). It wasn't easy though! Finding the venue, finalizing head count, finding means of transpo... crazy.

Our venue: Eagle Point Resort in Mabini, Batangas.

Getting There.

Though it took us 5 hours to get there, it was worth it! Travel time is suppose to be at least 2 1/2 hours. Coincidentally, it was the bauan town fiesta celebration so we had to take re-route. (warning: do not sched your outing on the 3rd week of May!) Also, my advice: Read signs! hahaha. Signs to eagle point were a little small.

Eagle Point up-close.

What can I say? The place was great, rooms were big (can accommodate 4, though the whole group stayed together in one room for bonding time), bathroom was huge and the best part -- FOOD -- yummy!

SEPOC beach

Included in our package was a trip to SEPOC beach, also owned by Eagle Point.

We had our breakfast there (hmm.. the bacon and egg! yumyum!). After bfast, we headed to the beach for snorkling. I don't do snorkling but seeing the clear waters, I gave it a try! Just a few steps from the seashore there were colorful fishes already. My officemates found nemo (hahaha!) -- a family of clown fish. One found a seahorse.

All in all, our money spent was worth it. More so, we had tons of fun!

Make it happen!

Though life gets tough at times... I am still grateful for the many blessings I receive.
Came across this short prayer today:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen." -- Reinhold Niebuhr

For all who are in doubt right now... we have a choice to make things happen!
God bless.
