pusang gala

there was a town fiesta at abucay bataan this weekend. we went to abucay and balanga by car. traffic was kinda heavy and it took us about 3-4 hrs (normally 2-3hrs) to get from the nlex balintawak tollgate to bataan. my lola's house was at abucay. my cousins and i and amy (seatmate) stayed at our relative's resort (raven's), because it turned out that there was no room left at our lola's house. hehehe. raven's resort has several swimming pools, pavillion halls, day cottages and overnight cottages. they also have videoke at P5 per song. the resort has catering services for the guests (starts at P100 = 2 ulam + rice) but you could also bring your own food and/or cook them there. entrance fee for adults at about P80-100 per guest (day vs. night swimming), day cottages at P250 each. bad trip lang i didnt get the chance to take a dip at their swimming pools since they clean them during mornings. only my youngest cousin had the chance to swim because the kiddie pools were clean by then. the room was P1500 a night and is very nice and clean (think dainty wall paper and tiles) with air con and tv and basic toiletries in the toilet with shower. the room can accomodate 4 persons but can have two persons more, they'll bring in extra mattresses and the extra two pay for the adult entrance fee for overnight stay (about P100 each). our stay there was free though, pero syempre next time di na.:-P

there is a nearby resort (sibul springs) by the mountain where the pools get water from the spring. picture this: you'll be swimming in mineral water, flowing mineral water. we could go there sometime stay at raven's and also go to sibul. we could take a hike from raven's to sibul or take a car/van (bring your own car or you can rent our van ;-P).

there are also several resorts (swimming pools mostly) that are near the town proper that are ok.

la lang. gusto ko lang magkwento. mamaya toxic na ako.
