March 26, 2008
Punta De Uian is a beautiful beach resort located in Pundaquit, Zambales. Everything about it expresses tranquility, peace and a majestic setting fit for one’s pursuit of total relaxation and leisure. Nestled in the fine white beaches of Zambales it offers a wonderful view of the ocean and the nearby Capones Island.

Enjoying the beautiful sunset while lying on the beach is an experience one will never forget.
The beachfront is popular for being a turtle habitat, every week there are turtle egg hatching being done in the resort and afterwards the turtles will return to sea only to return for an unspecified time.

It is said all the time that first impressions are very important. Punta De Uian impressed me from the get go as we parked our car and noticed the fresh wind breeze coming from the ocean. It continued to impress me as the helpful and friendly staff entertained us and offered to help us unload our things plus the presence of Punta De Uian’s manager who answers at the name of Guy Morales continues to make sure that everything we needed are being taken care of.

Caliraya Lake

March 09, 2008
I tagged along my friend Don’s family who went and celebrated his sister Myla’s birthday at the Lake Caliraya Resort along with Don’s girlfriend Kathrina. The resort is as the name suggests is located along Caliraya lake in Laguna, it has amenities like accomodations, bar and restaurant, swimming pool, basketball courts, wall for wall climbing and of course the lake where guest can go fishing, go kayaking or just ride a horse all over the vast surroundings of the place.

After having our buffet lunch (900 pesos for the day tour + buffet lunch / pax) we went wall climbing – It’s been a long time since I last gone wall climbing and with the current shape i’m in I was a bit worried that I won’t get far up the wall, but the wall was fairly easy until you reach the inclined angle at the top when my fingers and hands and everything gave up, but Don made a career of giving it a try though hehe, he lost grip at the last minute offering excuses ranging from UFO manipulation to Global warming as the reason why he fell haha.

Then 20 seconds before he falls down, he insists the Martians made him lose his grip.

That's all on you man, don't see any UFO's above

After that we went for a swim, and a few days after that my arms and upper body hurts like punching bag at the wildcard gym of Freddie Roach.

Don and Kat then shoved it in me how its going as the third wheel. It was a fun time to enjoy the sunny weather and the cool breeze coming from Caliraya lake with all those trees around you, gives you a lot more reasons to take care of the environment.

But, Don still can’t stop worrying about his failed attempt at the wall, hey man loosen up, we can all try again next time.

And if you have some spare cash, you can also rent a jet ski and roll all over mad man style on Caliraya Lake.
