The title was inspired by the movie “Eat. Pray. Love.” starring Julia Roberts, one of my favorite actors. Anyway, we had an amazing day yesterday. My brothers and my aunt’s family, together with a couple of friends went together for a summer getaway in Pansol. This is a small place in Calamba, Laguna which is famous for its hot springs.
We rented a spot in this resort named Agua Caliente and my youngest brother, R-Jay, immediately noticed one thing upon arriving there, the smell and the look of the place feels like home, fresh and countryside-ish.
We brought a lot of foods there. And when I say a lot, it was literally so many that we even bring leftovers back home. We of course ate first to make sure our body is conditioned, especially me since I just finished my shift that time and haven’t been able caught any sleep yet.
Thereafter, we changed our clothes to our swim wear attires and then plunged ourselves to the swimming pool. Oh! The water is hot, and also the weather. Isn’t it amazing? Of course we had a blast.
Alas! My other brother, Ram, left his phone at the rest room, and when he went back there, it’s gone. We tried to call his number, it rang a few times then it became unreachable.Yup, he lost it. And to his frustration, he rented a karaoke and sang his heart out for 2 hours. It was a bad day for him but he needs to move on with his life and charged it to experience.
And so the life went on. We played beach volleyball on the pool until 2 pm. We also find out that the best pool for non-swimmers like myself is the kiddie pool. Kids are adorable when they are having fun and watching them made me forgot all my problems for a moment, plus, you will not be challenged to swim all the way to the side of the pool, you just walked out of it. 🙂
We left the resort at 5 in the afternoon and the kids were not ready to go home yet. It took a lot of willpower to convince them that we need to go home, the traffic, scarcity of vehicles and of course, the dark way home. It’s always a good thing kids are afraid of the dark.
We were exhausted as we sat on the bus but we were all happy. We never stop talking and sleeping on our way back home. It was an awesome day, indeed!
