Hey everybody, what's up? Summer is definitely extending so don't miss on the opportunity to have fun under the raging summer sun. Be careful though, do a checklist of the summer essentials so you can keep your cool every-time you go out and play.
Anyway, I had the chance to jam with Mark and some new-found friends last weekend on their yearly summer getaway held at the Virgin Beach Resort in Laiya, Batangas.

Mark and I used to work in the same company a few years back and when he transferred to [24]7, we kept in touch through Facebook and BBM. When Mark invited me to join them last weekend, I thought it's just going to be a small group so I said yes. Lo and behold, there were at least 10 buses en route to Virgin Beach Resort that day. But I didn't mind -- the whole idea seemed fun and it was certainly nice to meet new friends. ☺

Virgin Beach Resort is approximately 2 to 3 hours drive from Manila and sits by the shores of Laiya, adjacent to Sigayan Bay. The resort has more than a kilometer of white sand beach, though not as fine as Boracay's, it is absolutely clean and the waters are enticingly crystal clear.

Virgin Beach Resort is an alternative to your weekend getaway plan and it's just a few hours drive from the city. They have accommodation packages that you can check out for a hassle-free vacation. It's also perfect for huge crowds as it was able to entertain the multitude of [24]7 employees including their friends and families.
So yeah, I was glad to be part of [24]7's Reggae Summer High last May 12 -- and though we spent more hours on the road than on the beach, it was certainly a lot of fun. Until my next wandering everybody! Enjoy the rest of the summer!
