eye of the tiger

Maundy Thursday

Set off to Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas with my fam and my dad’s ka-brads’ fam… Been there 2 years ago… the place is called La Virginia Resort and is privately owned by a client of my dad’s ka-brad so we didn’t have to pay for anything (except for the overstay that is).

Anyway, the morning was spent waiting at the rendezvous and travelling to the place.

Fasting was impossible because we had a buffet lunch so I decided to limit my meat intake to seafoods only instead. By 3 pm, I couldn’t take the heat so took a dip in the pool.

After an hour or so, had merienda where we met the owner of the place. She’s in her 70’s, generous (as reflected on our free stay and food there :p), the gambling type, and green-minded (as indicated in the "German style" she was doing to the banana). The next thing I knew, she was persuading me to give her my hand so she can tell my fortune through palm reading… I was hesitant because it’s Holy Week for Christ’s sakes but she was insistent! Let’s just say that most of the things she said were true. Fortunately, none pertained to the future.

By 530, took pictures on the "Ifugao Village" and tree house. I was surprised that they have the same fertility huts that I saw in Tam-Awan Village, Baguio.

Good Friday

Woke up at 9 am to take pictures. I must say..the person who "designed" the place (a) must be a schizophrenic (b) is obsessed with gigantic figurines and seating or (c) just plain weird. It’s like a circus/jungle in there. :)) Yes, it’s holy week and I’m criticizing and yes, we are staying there for free so I’ve no right to complain. I’m not complaining.. I’m just seeing to many weird things at the same time. Oc-oc! :)) Here are some of the pictures that I took:

(I can’t find time to organize the pictures so this will just have to follow)

Come to think of it, the place could be used for shooting a horror movie. Somewhere in the lines of trapped souls in those figur(in)es. Creepy! :))

Black Saturday

Ate breakfast. Had some family picture taking. Headed home.
