Nag- TRIP sa unang linggo ng bagong trabaho!!! :)

c,")

So after almost 2 months of seeking the right job, I've found the right one for me (at least, I believed I did). I've gotten 5 interviews in this one company, finally I've started and survived my FIRST WEEK job! whew! Quite tough.

So first things first. When my new found job required me to join the tripping ( I can't remember the exact term eh), at first I was really hesitant due to some prior commitments.

But I believed that this trip will able to help me to get familiarize further about my current work. Aside from the fact that I can go to other places, I can also befriend with others....

A little information about my present work.

I am now on a Real State Business!

Deals with clients, agents and pre- selling.

A very competitive and very challenging work, and

Lastly, it's still in the heart of Makati... so welcome to myself! hehe.. self proclaimed ako.

So, the fieldtrip started with a few minutes tour at the Penthouse up to the rooftop of our office building. The sun was striking so hot at bumubula na ang kili- kili ko, pero go pa rin kasi nga required at kasi may cute na tour guide. Chos! harharhar..

We had a brief stop over at Mcdonalds for breakfast en route to itinerary.....in Makati, Taguig, Marikina, QC and Manila.

Here are some of our projects in different locations.

The Living Rooms

The Dining Rooms

The Bedrooms

at the rest room..napansin namin, ang t/b lang ang may ribbon. Sa lahat ha, ito pa! lol

I was happy that I joined. 

Aside from the bonding with new friends, I've been too excited to step out of the service van and took each trip with gusto.  I was happy because I was able to meet new good friends, some are from other departments and there were some from other floor.

Meet Diane, Zyra and Cathryn, sitting all pretty in one of our projects in Marikina's (bedroom).

I met such awesome people this past weekend which makes me look even more forward to more bonding! Like the year -end party, ground breaking, co. outing and et cera. Pero baka ayaw na nila ako makasama ulit, kasi ang kulit ko. hehe.. Pero at least may kodakan! :)

Also a miniature of one of our projects in Marikina

Our office building.

Miniature from outside of our building

Verdict: (wow, kokoment pa ko ha). The projects we cater are all perfectly glamored with designs and class albeit some were sort of a limited space, I wondered why.

Nevertheless, nag enjoy ang lola mo! Ganda ng mga projects namin, proud! Sana nga talaga may pa raffle ang boss kahit isang unit lang. Oe di kung ayaw, parking slot nalang. harharhar!

Will you eat without a plate?

Meals are generally served on a plate. Sometimes, the plate or the presentation per se adds attraction to someone who will eat a certain food. Eh panu kung wala ngang plate?!!!

Well, this particular restaurant, plate is not necessary anymore because anyone can eat through a Banana Leaf alone! How was that? That is what you called sustainable living. Hehe.... wala lang nasabi ko lang. Katipiran!

Before, a mere Banana leaf is not just widely used being a food wrapper or a mat for grilling for fishes and vegetables. It also serves many purposes in Asian cooking from adding flavor to foods which are cooked inside them to simply being used as a colorful and exotic background for serving-plates like what we did experienced in this particular food- trip!

Located at Greenbelt 3

The menu, is basically a melting pot of some of the best dishes from different Asian cultures. The best of the best food selections from Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Vietnam. For me, eating just like in B.L would reminds me more of a curry food..

This was my second time in Banana Leaf, first was in The Block in SM North.  I was stunned at first when I've seen only banana leaf will served as our plate. Pero un nga, kakaiba pa rin kasi you would feel a very authentic Asian way especially para sa ating mg Noypi, para ka lang kumakain sa isang handaan sa province 'tas sama- sama kayong kakain sa banana leaf yun nga lang, the difference is you can eat bare hands!

Bakit nga ba ito ang motif ng resto, perhaps the management is avoiding to wash alot of soiled plates... hehe.

Thai Iced Tea P68 and Dalandan Juice P78 at nag sprite din kami while waiting, 'twas cost P45!

Phad Thai - Thai Style P168.00

In between bites, I discovered that the food we ordered were somewhat spicy. Oo nga naman, asian food. It was nice to eat with a very nice ambiance. The color and interior design makes me forget about the spicy food I was digging in to my mouth.

Black Curry Lamb P288.00

Nasi Goreng Nenas P188.00

Sarap kumain!

The lighting is fair good, seems very romantic though

Had a bit of cozy and yet local accent interior design

after eating, posing! Just do not forget to breathe in...

The food serving is up to 2 persons only. Yep, little compare to others. Not as delicious as others, been quite forgettable but it was ultimate experience to Banana Leaf!!

Next stop, I would like to try the restaurant next after the Banana Leaf, if you're familiar in Greenbelt 3... hehe.

Reminders: Just don't forget to clean or wipe up your leaf, just to make sure. Have a happy eating folks!

Carino Resort: A Great Place to Celebrate!!

Don't you just love to plunge to a none - chlorine swimming pool close to city? Well, it is not really free of chemicals but I guarantee that this is one of the best pool I ever gone to not to mention, it is located only in Valenzuela City.

So after so much bugging to pursue an outing, we finally went our way to CARINO RESORT!

Delightful pool, hehe ma rhyme lang eh noh

I have been here, trice. Why I kept coming back? Simply because the place is near, pleasant and clean.

Perfect for 4ft and below swimmers

Together with my churchmates, we rent a tricycle going to Punturin. The place is near so it only took us less than 30 minutes. Upon arrival, we directly went to counter to pay the entrance fee. We pay P1,440.00 for 9 persons plus P700.00 for our marble cottage.

There are boulders which became one of the most photographed in the pool area.

We were only two groups at the resort that time so we are free from worry kung makaka ligo ba kami na maayos o tabo tabo na lang in place. hehe. Buti na lang we were few kaya I can utilize my swimming skills like floating at free style. Hahaha...

We had a very limited time kaya we do our best na gawin na lahat and pagsasaya within a couple of hours. 

We indulged ourselves swimming, have tried videoke and though there were some friends who weren't able to join us, still we were happy. Actually we're planning to go here again by December! hehe..

I was happy and excited to be at the same place all over again. Aside from Good Deal, Santiago and Rolling Hills resorts in Valenzuela City, I think Carino Resort is on top it all. Wala masyado at hindi amoy chlorine, hindi masakit dumilat sa ilalim ng tubig, gusto ko kasi yung para kang isdang mulat! lol,

Indeed, clean pool.

Kids are pretty sure will enjoy the 3ft and 4ft pool. This is one of the favorite spots actually while sitting and pouring yourself with their somewhat called "falls".

It has four Marble cottages
