Yesterday, we were invited by the Buensalidas to the Taal Lake Yatch Club for some water sports.
 |
| Angela, Marita & Rolly, Matthew, Jasmin & Andrew. They live really close by, and their girls are the same age & temperament as my ate! 😉 I see a potential friendship brewing! <3 |
They used to have a resort & still have all the water playthings such as the speed boat, banana boat & tube thingamajig. How cool is that? Naturally, we were just so delighted to accept! <3
Got up at an ungodly hour (hehe) so we can get there early. 5 cars convoying, 5 excited families ready for a great day of fun! I’m loving my hunny’s tennis buds more & more! 🙂
 |
| Beautiful background view of Taal. Too bad this picture doesn’t do it justice! |
 |
| Half of the contingents.. the lazy ones who didn’t have to bring down stuff haha! 😉 |
 |
| Dressed, ready & so eager to go!!! Yesssss.. I brought their own life vests hehe. We had 3 maletas with us! ;)) That’s how scared I am of the big blue |
 |
| Over-capacitated boat, hahaha! ;P |
 |
| Aboard the banana boat the 2nd round! |
 |
| Of course I also wanted to try the speedboat.. ala “My Neighbors Wife“??? |
 |
| The junior & the senior chinks.. My hunks! 😉 |
 |
| The kids played a game of GUESStures as we waited for the boat to cool down haha. Good thing tita Tasha came prepared! <3 |
 |
| Finally!!! A new 500 peso bill with Ninoy & Cory from tita Marita. Awww, they’re finally together!!! <3 |
 |
| The kids continued to play as the oldies finished their lunch.. Can I just say? I’m so glad for new friends!!! We are so looking forward to more adventures with this fun group. <3 |
 |
| Hearty lunch of ihaw-ihaw made us NOT WANT to leave the table hahaha! ;P |
 |
| Finally satiated, the oldies decided to try the banana boat as well. |
 |
| Wrong decision haha! As soon as the floater turned over & I hit the water at a high speed, I thought it was the end of my life! @_@ Since I was err.. (huge) I landed with a big splash. Water went into my ears & nose & I couldn’t feel my left arm. They ALL had to lift me to the boat (not a great sight, haha) since I couldn’t move my left arm. I really thought I dislocated my shoulder as I saw STARS in broad daylight! Believe me, I wouldn’t ride that monstrosity again in my life.. EVER! ;)) I guess my joints, muscles & bones aren’t as limber as they used to be haha! |
 |
| After my scary experience, I stayed away from ANYTHING that had to do with water (except for the shower which I hit immediately so I can get a relaxing massage) The kids however, had a different thing in mind! @_@ Look at my daring babyson on a tube!!! |
 |
| Ate also gives it a try!!! @_@ I almost had a heart attack because of these 2!!! |
 |
| After having had ALL their turns.. and fill.. the kids use the rest of their energy swimming in the lake. |
Soon, it was dark & our day has come to an end. 🙁 We had a sumptuous dinner of sinigang na baboy, which I wasn’t able to take a picture of in the chaos of the showering, packing, car-loading & eating, hahaha!
The kids didn’t want our day to end yet, so we had dessert at Cinnabon..
 |
| What’s left of the girls (the rest were sleeping in their respective cars already, haha!) |
 |
| What’s left of the boys (same predicament)! 😉 Matira ang matibay!!! m/ |
 |
| I heart Cinnabon!!! Heart, heart, heart!!! <3 |
 |
| The happy group, which already made plans for a lunch & movie hang-out the next day!!! (well, the teens, at least!) |
 |
| The same CARVERY group.. With Rolly & Marita cuddling on the backmost! <3 |
Thank you so very much to the entire Buensalida family for such a wonderful family bonding activity. Yes, we did go home “injured” (everyone -except the Buensalida couple, in this photo had sore shoulders, groins & backs, my hunny snapped/pulled a thigh muscle haha!), we would never trade this experience for any other day at lazing home!
Best of all, the kids made new friends which I hope they get to keep for the years to come! <3
PS- Too bad the kids weren’t able to take a picture of me & my hunny walking hand-in-hand towards the coffee shop. That would have been such a funny sight! Me with my head at a peculiar angle because of my stiff neck & sore shoulder. My hunny limping because of his pulled thigh muscle, with tissue paper sticking out of his left ear because it wouldn’t stop leaking lake water! OMG I promise you, you would have rolled on the floor laughing!!! ;))
Until my next post, people!!! :-*
