Outings!

I love planning outings! As in!
Sometimes, I think I even love PLANNING it more than the actual event itself!
Weird, right? Hehe

Unfortunately, as much I want to travel (especially with my family because they would be the one paying! hehe), I couldn't do much traveling this year because of my medical internship at DOH programme, where we rotate around the different specialties around East Ave Medical Center, Heart Center, Lung Center, Phil Children's Medical Center, and National Kidney Institute... and Amang Rodriguez (though not exactly a hospital, as we will be divided and become assigned doctors to a local health clinic).

So, thankfully, our August rotation has Saturday half day and Sunday free. My DOH internship group is going to bond, right before we go to the much-awaited OB rotation (ugh!), where we will stay at EAMC for 2 months on (gasp) September and October (which are the "BER" season, where lots of babies are born... count 9 months backwards, and these would be the cold months, where it would be nice to cuddle and warm thyself)! After the OB rotation, we would have the Medicine rotation on November and December (I guess that's no Christmas family vacation for me huhu and I was the one who BOOKED their tickets to Coron! Huhu). Hence, it will be MONTHS before we can rest again. That's why, we got ourselves a weekend to go out and have some fun before digging ourselves in toxicity when we go back to EAMC.

They wanted a beach outing (Darn! I'm a mountain kinda girl, but it's okay. I still love planning outings.) particularly at Laiya, Batangas. They originally thought of Virgin Beach Resort, where one of them went last summer. I told them that there were many other different resorts, and I volunteered to research on them hehe

I will try to post my final "research" paper here, in case anybody's interested
BTW, we are 13-14 in a group, so I mostly concentrated on bigger accommodations :)
Laiya, Batangas Beach Resorts - candidates for our resort: Virgin Beach Resort, Triple G Resort, Les Caraibes (our winning choice for this outing), Sigayan Bay Beach Resort, Palm Beach Resort, Blue Coral Beach Resort, Sabangan Beach Resort, Laiya White Cove, Punto Miguel, Kabayan Beach Resort
Rent a Van - contact list and numbers for renting a van (also the price list given to me for 2-way trip manila-laiya-manila)

Okay, it's 1130 again. Past my bed time. I was hoping to start sleeping early...
