Recently, I received an invite from my
blogger friend about this overnight stay at Caliraya Mountain Spring Resort,
without thinking twice I immediately confirmed her invite. We went together to
this event with our 2 other college classmates. Originally, our weekend getaway
should be Sept 20-21 but due to typhoon Mario, the organizer postponed the schedule
the following weekend.
The organizer picked us up around 8:00AM
in McDonald’s Marcos Hi-way. Two groups were picked up. Total of 8pax. The
travel was not so convenient since we have to fit ourselves inside the Avanza.
After around 3-hours of travel, we reached
our destination. Welcoming us is their clubhouse with wide space for dining
overlooking their golf course and the Mt. Banahaw.
While waiting for the other groups, they
provide us glass of Mango Juice. An hour had past and we headed inside their
Air-Conditioned Dining room for our sumptuous Lunch. (Photos to follow)
Around 2 in the afternoon, our shuttle
service arrived to bring us to their Marina to check in our things to their
Anahaw Villas.
Actually there are lots of activities
provided for us during the first day, but we opted to stay inside our villa to
catch up with one another after 4 years of not seeing each other.
Around 5PM, we headed to their Fishing
area to try to catch some Dory but after 30 minutes of waiting, we failed.
After a slight disappointment, we went to the veranda to chill. We ate
ice-cream while waiting for our shuttle to bring us back to the clubhouse for
our dinner.
7PM our dinner was served. (Photos to

After dinner, the organizer invited us for
some Karaoke Night, we went inside but did not held any microphone to sing. But
when we notice that only the 4 of us were left inside the karaoke room, we had
our concert.
9PM when out shuttle arrived to bring us
back to veranda for the bonfire activity. It took us about an hour before we
successfully lit the fire due to the slight rain the poured few hours ago.
After the bonfire activity, we headed back
to our villa to rest and sleep.
The following day, we woke up around 7 in
the morning for the breakfast call. After breakfast, we had our Golf course
tour. The 4 of us is a rotational driver of the golf cart we are riding during
the entire tour. The view was spectacular yet the pathways were a bit scary and
deadly. Due to the ups and downs and sharp turns of the terrain.

We also did tried the tandem bike which is
quite difficult to use the first time but everything went well after few
minutes.
They took us back to Marina for the main
event. The Obstacle Course. All of the participants were divided into two
groups. The following were part of the
course we took.
After the cardio-like activity, we dipped in their almost-infinity pool to relax our heavily used muscle from the course. Then we headed back to the clubhouse for our
late lunch and checked out around 4:00PM. (Photos to follow)
