My backpacker days are over. After two consecutive weeks of moving in and out of the city, I am back for real. The out-of-town assignments are over and my everyday work mode resumes.
Last week, I was in Caleruega for our spiritual retreat. This week, I went with some of my colleagues for a team building activity. We particularly went to Club Balai Isabel. For those who have been reading my blog, you might have encountered some posts I made for Club Balai Isabel. I've been to the place several times and all I have are pleasant and memorable experiences. I love the place and the entire Club never fails to mesmerize me.
I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures on my recent visit. I was busy participating in our team building activities and I was all tired at the end of each session. I also chose to simply enjoy the place and I used our free time to recover the scarce sleeping hours I often experience in the city.
Here are the few pictures I have taken
The villa where we stayed. I recovered a lot of sleep in one of the rooms here. :-)
The entire place is filled with refreshing greeneries
My obsession for pathways! Gardens with pathways will always be a part of my photo posts.
How I wish our home has this as its backyard.
If I will not own my own infinity pool, I wanted something like this. I want a swimming pool surrounded by ornamental plants.
Club Balai Isabel also provides a place of worship for the Catholics. This is the Spousal of Mary and Joseph Chapel.
Allow me to leave you with this photo
Happy Friday! Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead.

Ayun, team building pala yung Balai Isabel mo last year! I was thinking yesterday that I want to go on vacation din... kaya lang syempre pag ganon either kasama ang yaya (i.e. hindi irrelevant added cost if I want to go somewhere nice), or if walang yaya, then it won't really be a vacation for me.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you're destressing!
Enjoy your day... Friday na!! :D
