hot Tagaytay

if you want a cool out of town retreat this summer, Baguio is the coolest. or if you'd want to go for a day only, go stay inside a mall instead, mas malamig pa dun. we went to Tagaytay this weekend for our company summer outing and it was scorching! and take note, this was held in Tagaytay Highlands ha! last time i was there (same time around 4 years ago) ang lamig lamig don. ewan ko lang kung ano nangyari. ayun, may na-heat stroke, kami na-dehydrate, may nag nose bleed. masaya sana sya, relaxing... nyeta ang init nga lang!

overused word for the day: STRESSFUL!!

my friends and i decided to stay for the night (this is not an overnight function kasi) so we can stay as late as we want to without worrying how to get home. friday night we were told that a vacant cottage is available for a fair price so we had it reserved, para di na kami maghanap sa labas. of course being there, we expected no less than a small hotel-type room (kahit good for 4 lang) complete with hotel services. so after 4 hours of waiting for the person holding our room keys, we are here...

yeah, welcome to Tagaytay Highlands!!!

that's our kubo at the far back. that's Yanee looking, well, stressful! in fairness, may aircon na malamig. the small room has one twin bed and two end tables... that's it. the bathroom is outside and you have to share with your neighbor, if you have one (duplex kubo). it's made entirely of bamboo and the roof is made of straws. there's a mini mini-pool outside (size of a big jacuzzi) and we call it our "bathtub".

this small room can hold max 4 people (with extra matress) but 3 can't sleep well on the twin bed so to maximize the space, we had to haul the bamboo bed frame up on its side and place it by the wall. we spread the matresses side by side on the floor para hindi kami siksikan:

chaotic bedroom

josme, bago namin maakyat yan riot naman at 1am! tawa lang kami ng tawa! but anyway, successful naman so we were able to sleep peacefully. buti na lang talaga malamig ang aircon kaya mahaba ang tulog namin. =)

at eto pa pala, yung isang kumot may butas! wahahaha!!

hindi po ito entirely panira sa Highlands ha! it's still a beatiful and relaxing place to stay. we just find it so hilarious that we would be staying at a kubo inside a high-end place. ika nga ni Rica, "i feel so deprived! bwahahaha!"
