How to cool off this summer? Go Swim and Eat!
My family and I recently went on a swimming escapade a few days ago, and it was set as a whole day affair. The venue was also just a short walk from our house so everybody was thrilled about that. It was also recently when the private pool was discovered. So my Kuya had it reserved right away (from 10 am to 6 pm).
I wasn't supposed to join them since I had so much work to do. But when I dropped-by to check out the pool, I was almost ready to jump into this enchanting abyss! The 6-feet deep pool was so inviting considering that it was sweltering that day. I went home right away to change into my swimsuit!
Oh, before I forget --- each of us, regardless if we were swimming or not were charged Php150 each. It was a bit pricey since we were 16 inside the premises. So we just made sure to make the most out of the place.

We also had some Liempo grilled that afternoon, and had also prepared some green mango salad as our side dish. Anyway, I will be sharing those photos on my food blog! :) So hop on to Sinigang Junkie to see what we ate by the poolside!
Also, it's been raining for a couple of days now, and it seems that summer is drawing to a close. The question here is, how did you spend your hot & humid week?

ReplyDeleteBy the way, you didn't mention the name of the place where you guys had swimming?!

ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Blanca! Why not? Habol pa ng swimming bago tuluyan matapos ang summer. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sophia! I'll ask our family friend for the number, and also for the address. As soon as I get the information, I'll update this post. :0
ReplyDeleteYou were good at catching those poses, amazing! Did they charged the baby P150 as well?
ReplyDeleteI agree its a bit pricey but I assumed you had a grand time so maybe sulit na rin.
Thanks Ms. Gigi! It's a talent..lol! And as for the price, everyone was charged regardless of age.. so yes, our little kiddies were charged P150 too. =(

ReplyDeleteTe, saan itong private pool na ito? mukhang maganda. sobrang naaliw ako sa mga jumpshots.:)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, hindi ko alam ang address..hehe! Di ko pa din kasi naitanong kung ano number nila. Pero this Private Pool is in QC, sa may Jose Abad Santos subdivision. :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe.. kulit talaga! And thanks dear! :) Your blog is also as interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteWow ganda ng place, great photos, ganda pagkakuha ng yoga :)
ReplyDeleteJust followed you... Cool blog!
ReplyDeleteAng kulet naman ng mga jump shots sa pool.. Summer na summer talaga ang aura... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHey Graz! Expert nako sa pag-take ng ganyang shots.. hehehe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gladys! :)
ReplyDeleteOO nga! hehe.. kaso di na ata summer, lakas na ng ulan!!! Uy friend, may new camera kana?
ReplyDeleteAng saya ng dive shots. This post actually made me hit Google search looking for a private pool near our place. Saya!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Hehehe! These shots weren't that hard to take naman. It was all the more fun capturing those precious moments. :)
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are funny. I cannot do those poses before jumping into the pool.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, summer is near. Lucky us, we have a swimming pool at home but we do not usually dip into the waters because we're always too busy with other things.
The dive shots look awesome! I like how how the poses were captured as they fell into the pool.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures are nostalgic, it reminds me of my younger years when all of us go to the beach, from the oldies to the youngsters and we just enjoy good food and good laughter.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and a great fun time. Precious! Priceless! Life at its purest simplicity - loveeet it!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for your unique diving pose. Amazing how they can do that. I for one am not much of a daredevil when it comes to diving in the pool. I guess that's what does steps at the side are made for. => Just reminded me that summertime is coming and would want to hit the pool real soon.
ReplyDeleteWe actually have something similar here in the province. An OFW couple rents out their pool since they are not here most times of the year. May business sense! and those dive shots are so funny!
ReplyDeleteYes, swimming and eating are the best ways to bond with our family and cool off on summers that is why we have 4 swimming/outings this summer. :) Great shots you got here.
ReplyDeletewow such cute kiddies!! inded we go swimming everyday. the heat here in malaysia is so different compare to singapore. Its just scorchin' hot! Swimming makes all the family and frends goes together very well xx
ReplyDeletei suddenly missed swimming in the pool. it is really fun, right? your brothers are funny!
ReplyDeleteI miss swimming. I used to be enrolled in a swimming class. But work prevailed.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had so many kids, Mai.
ReplyDeleteKidding aside, for the price, YOU should have swam and enjoyed the place! Haha :P
ahahaha, they all cute with the different posing on water. You have a happy family there.
ReplyDeleteVery nice poses. Nothing beats family fun since everybody can just be themselves.
ReplyDeleteI love all your jump shots!!! Cool!!! I am now terribly missing my family, relative and friends more so because of this post!!!
ReplyDeleteSummer 2013 is fast approaching! How I wish we can spend some time at a family size pool or exciting beach.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they really enjoyed the place. My folks will be in Bacnotan, La Union for the Holy Week minus me (working).
