Lozada Resort

<--- one of the resorts lovely sight is its anthurium garden.

Quarter to 5pm, i left home and headed to Mui's place. Gen and Ophelei got there ahead of me. While waiting for cindy and rodelyn, we walked towards the convenience store to buy some chips.

5:36pm, Ophelei switch on the engine and took the road off for pleasure driving. I envy her. I like seeing ladies who mans a car. Sosyal! [sosy] It made me recall the time when I was in Manila 2 years ago, my Aunt Nelly and Manang Chen took me out for a treat with my nephews and niece and I witness how Manang [an ilokano term we use to note older sister/cousin & so on] operates the car. I told myself, "I've got to learn driving". Sooon...

The path to San Isidro seems familiar. To our surprise, the resort is just blocks away from Malyn's Residence.

5:55pm. Finally! we set foot at LOZADA RESORT. A newly built [December 2007] public place for recreation. Entrance fee costs P30 for adults and P20 for children. What fascinates me was their array of blooming orchids & anthuriums. They even have vegetables, just by looking at them I would remember my favorite chopsuey.

I think they intend to make the place not just a resort but an orchidarium and a vegetable farm. I love their orchids, took pictures of some variety that is new to my sight.

We settled ourselves to their native hut which costs P150. The girls changed their clothes as soon as we were done setting up the table. Yeah, too excited to take the plunge!

That night was a sort of gathering with my former students and now on their 2nd & last year under the Advisory of Mui. We had so much fun, we laugh out aloud enjoying every minute of our stay. It was like we own the pool.

The girls wanted to sing along in the karaoke but to no avail. There were too many singing wannabe's waiting for their turn to express their "sort-of" hidden talents. Hahaha!! Funny thing is they chosen piece were all from years beyond. Ya know what I mean, hehehe!

The resort had 2 swimming pools, by the way. For adults and kids. The one for adults ranges from 5-7ft deep. Yours truly and some of her not-so-good-in-swimming companions managed to swam around near the wide pool stairs with rails. I could swim farther if it was daytime but since its night time, I was afraid of the limited surrounding light in the pool area. I just thought of my personal safety, that's all [chuckles]

When we were inside the bathroom..my gosh! i forgot to pack extra supot [plastic bag] for my wet clothes. [Sigh] I just squeeze my damp suits and wrapped it with my towel and slip it on inside my bag. Solved!

Tip: always include plastic bag on your checklist the next time you go out for swimming!

There were Local Barangay Officials roaming around, monitoring the security of the place. These people even escorted us to the exit point. Thank you, Sir! [thumbs up]

Went home around 12:30AM. Thanks to Gen and Ophelie for taking us all back to Digos, safely. They got home safely, as well.
