Quick Getaway

On one long weekend, Hubert, Susan, Jerome and I went to Batangas for a quick vacation to relax and unwind.

First stop, we went to the Sta. Rosa Market to buy some tilapia, liempo, bangus, manggang hilaw at bagoong.


Jerome happily haggling for the best price.


After that, we proceeded to Batangas for our much-awaited, first-ever, couples vacation. Hehe.



Preparing lunch of inihaw na bangus, liempo and manggang hilaw...yum!



After lunch, we played a mean round of competitive pusoy-dos.
(In the photo: Hubert getting his turn at shuffling the cards while Susan was not too happy with her score. Yes, we kept tabs of our scores. Ganun ka-competitive! Hehe.)

Finally, after a hundred or so rounds of pusoy dos, we decided to check out the beach. Unfortunately, the waves were too big then and we couldn't go island hopping to much nicer and cleaner waters.



Hence, we had to settle and make do with what we had. And that's just what we did!

After which Hubert said, "Ako naman!".



Riding the waves...we had so much fun splashing and getting thrown by the waves. Parang mga bata! Haha!

The boys got tired of playing in the water and decided to threaten us to a sand-throwing game.

The next day, we decided to try out the slides at the resort's swimming pool.

Si Hubert naman...bakit nga pala wala akong picture ng nagsa-slide?

On our way home, we stopped by at the Kainan sa Dalampasigan for some late lunch...




...and tried their famous tanigue steak! Sobrang sarap! It's a must-try!



We also tried their equally delicious binalot na adobo (i forgot the actual name of the dish), chopseuy and pork sisg.




Went around the compound of the restaurant and took some more pictures.



Thanks guys! Till the next out-of-town trip!
