3-day 2nd Wedding Anniversary Get Away

July 28, 2007 - I married my bestfriend =)

On the 28th, me and my beloved better half would be celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. We are very excited as we're planning a 3-day get away starting on the 28th until the 30th. Hubby actually told his bosses already about it and fortunately, they agreed! But of course, there's always a catch. (I just leave it to them...wink*) So I was actually googling for 3 days now to be exact to find a nice but affordable place we haven't been in to that we could visit.=)

First stop my eyes were glued upon was CANYON COVE in Batangas Laguna.

The scenery at day time

Breath taking view at night

I come to know the place from friend of friends in Facebook and I searched for infos over the net. I fell inlove with the pics and asks for my hubby's opinion about it. Well, he likes it too and I eventually landed on a forum site where someone inform me that the entrace fee would only costs us three hundred fifty bucks (350PHP) each and we don't have to call to reserve for a day tour. But if ever we wanted to stay for a night or two, it would basically give us a net pay of 4,000-8,000PHP. So we decided to have a day tour instead. It would be the best deal we could get cause I can't leave my baby Jian to his Yaya to tuck him in bed and I can't accept the fact that we could spend around 10,000 bucks just for a couple of nights. It might give me a week or a month of nightmares!hehehe So Canyon Cove, be ready cause we will be there very early in the morning! (grin!)

Second stop was MANILA OCEAN PARK, Manila.

Under the Sea feelin'

Fish Spa!

The Fish Spa was actually the one which caught my attention to be in this place. Well, I love having the under-water feeling but having those "Doctor Fishes" eat away the dead skin cells on my feet, that's really something to look forward to!

I came to know from the Manila Ocean Park website that their Fish Spa fee costs 120PHP only and the entrance fee is 400PHP for adults and 350PHP for kids below 4 feet! Quite affordable ayt? =) I was actually excited to see my son enjoying the under-water view. Having Nemo as one of his favorite cartoon character, I expect that he would love seeing a lot of fish! But of course, I told that to my hubby and he had a small chuckle while reminding me that the day is supposed to be our date without baby Jian for the mean time.hehe Well, I can't help it. I dunno if I would really enjoy those beautiful scenery without my kid. huhu

Third Stop: Villa Escudero, San Pablo, Laguna.

Lunch and Swimming at the Falls

Cultural Exploration of the place

River Rafting!


River rafting is the highlight of the place. Villa Escudero is a working coconut plantation. The place is actually superb to its rural setting where you can bath at the falls and witness cultural shows. I was thinking that my hubby and I could pretend as Maria Clara and Crisostomo Ibarra if we'll drop in here.hehehe The day tour fee is quite reasonable: 1,105PHP for adults in weekdays but 1,250PHP on weekends. Overnight stay is a bit costly too so I can't agree with my hubby.

~~~~~~~~

We are still in the process of deciding where we could go for we still have a week of preparation and I'm still eager to find a better place using my laptop. hehe So I'm kinda thinking that I could ask you ( yes you, my dear reader) if you know a nice place that we could spend our 3 day wedding anniv get-away.=) Please don't hesitate to hit me back if ever you have a nice suggestion, Okay?

So, go ahead at the bottom of this post and comment, please?=) Yey! Thanks a lot! Smoochness!

uy! happy anniversary :D

PinkNote said...

@Chikletz salamat sis!=)

Wow, that's a lot to spend your 3 day anniversary.

Hmmm, I had been to Canyon Cove, our company outing is set on that place. Yes, you'll surely enjoy there. However, be sure to bring those swimsuits, for they were strict in swim wears when it comes to their pool.

As for the Manila Ocean Park, I had been there too. Hmmm, don't argue with your honey about not bringing your kid along. I heard it is nice to spend a date with your hubby as if he was still courting you :D

Haven't been to Villa Escudero but I heard it is a nice place.

As for my suggestions, hmmm... Will you consider some place in the North? Me and my family were planning to be at Taksyapo (Somewhere in Tarlac). But, I haven't been there though. You might as well want to be in La Mesa Eco Park (if I remember it right). There's a zipline there, you might give it a try. Or perhaps, you might want to visit Sonya's Secret Garden. My bestfriend had been there and really recommend it to be a place to visit.

No matter where you'll be on your anniversary, you'll surely enjoy it since you are with your love one. Enjoy!

weeeee! ang kyut!

i really admire couples like you who still finds time to go out and celebrate special dates such as this. kasi di ba sabi daw nila yung pagliligawan doesnt stop nung magBF/GF kayo. kundi dapat continuous yun 'gang sa huli. ika nga nila'y... keep the love alive & burning. hehe *winks*

enjoy sa date nyo, weeee :D

SEAQUEST said...

Sarap naman ng celebration nio, anyways tama lang din yan para sa mga couple to spend at least once without the kids, happy anniv to both of you...MAy God bless you...

ACRYLIQUE said...

Wow! Happy Happy Anniv sa inyo ng Huuby bestfriend mo. :)

I love the canyon Cove in Batangas. :)

Meryl (proud pinay) said...

PinkNote said...

@Madz thanks a lot for your suggestions!=) I was so excited searching for those places on the net and found Sonya's Secret Garden very appealing. We'll discuss about it and I'll get everyone updated soon.

We're so excited!^^

PinkNote said...

@ate crappy ewan ko ba pero kinikilig pa rin ako sakanya..hahaha after almost 8 years na naging magbestfriend muna kami, parang magboyfriend lang talaga until now..hehe At dahil sa work medyo wala kaming moments together kay excited sa 3-day get-away...hihi Wish us luck ate crappy!=)

PinkNote said...

@Seaquest haha uu nga, kaya lang i can't help it most of the time. Parang naiiwan yung kalahati ng puso ko sa bahay pag naiiwan ang baby, parang may kulang..ayun..but still we decided not to have an overnight stay so we can still sleep with our kid.=)

PinkNote said...

@Acrylique Salamat sayo! Happy birthday nga pala ulit! Saan ang handa? wink*

PinkNote said...

@Meryl Maraming Salamat din! Hay, sana nga hassle-free etong binabalak naming honeymoon...diko kasi naexperience yun kasi 2months preggy nako nung kinasal kame...hihi

PinkNote said...

@Gem oo nga, super excited na kami sa honeymoon na to...haha
