no doubt about it, summer is here. it hits you like a sledgehammer the moment you step out of an airconned room or vehicle. the oppressive blast of hot air that grips you the minute you leave the door is almost enough to make you scurry back to wherever you came from. whew! no wonder the metro’s electricity consumption has gone through the roof these past weeks.
which leaves me to think that perhaps spending 10 hours or more in the office isn’t all that bad after all — just think of the huge electricity bill you’d undoubtedly rack up if you opted to stay home and turned on the fan or ACU all day long. or the amount you’d likely spend on food and other stuff if you choose to go the mall to escape the heat.
joys of summer? big deal. they’re way overrated if you ask me. we get hot days throughout the year — punctuated by typhoons every now and then, and maybe a few cold days around november until february. and during summer we get more of the same (hottter, too), so where’s the fun in that? aaarrrgh!
just thinking about it makes me feel hot even more *fans self furiously*
so have you guys made plans to invade the beach yet? recommendations, anyone?
When we went to Laiya, San Juan, Batangas, La Luz was fully booked so we had to say in a nearby resort - Balai sa Laiya. You’ll just pay P1,800 for an overnight stay (twin-sharing), inclusive of lunch, dinner, and breakfast (buffet style). Masarap yung food; amenities is just OK; staff is friendly; and the beach is nice. 
Hehe, onyxx, I mean amenities are so so and the resort staff are friendly. 
thanks for the tip guys!
kai can you give me an approximate price for those resorts you mentioned, say for an overnight stay?
zarine, is “Balai” easy to reach? How long is the travel time from here to this resort? masarap ba yung food nila?
Posted by onyxx at April 20, 2007, 8:32 pmIf you you’re gonna commute, medyo hassle (>3 hours travel):

But if you have a car, mga 2-hour drive from SLEX.
Masarap yung food. Sulit na sulit!
Sureness. For La luz it’s http://www.laluzresort.com/ you could also try Virgin Beach which is in Batangas also http://www.virginbeachresort.com/ and for DJ Paradise which is usually for family get-away its www.bulacan.net/paradise
Hope this helps.

Yah, summer is overrated! I really prefer the rainy season, especially when there’s a good book around.
I recommend the Bitches of angeles, pampanga.. jk

I’m always at the beach in Tali and Punta Fuego because they’re so near.
I only go to Boracay during off season because… oh well, hmmm… I just don’t like the place when it gets too crowded.
island hopping at capones! we’re going (my fingers are tightly crossed.) imagine having the island/beach all by yourself, hehe. also, little boracay in bolinao. well, wherever you end up, goodluck and have fun onyxx!

I agree with the savings that you could have if you stay in the office especially during this heatwave; if only most offices has quiet rooms or sleeping areas
