For this article, I'll be sharing you my experience in a short weekend get a way that I had in Pampanga last April 22-23, 2018. It was actually part of our celebration for a job well done that we had for the past months in the office. Since our boss (Jaz) is one of the best boss I ever had, she invited us in her hometown to enjoy our weekend after our stressful weeks of migrations and upgrades.
We started our 4 hours journey from Manila to San Fernando Pampanga at around 8AM. We have our own car so its very convenient:
 |
| The Girls: Ana, Shey, Liz, Rachel and our Beautiful Lady Boss: Jaz |
 |
| The Guys Joseph, Yours Truly and our handsome driver Luis. |
We made our first stop over in NLEX and had our breakfast there, unfortunately I wasn't able to document it coz I'm so hungry. Lolz.
It was a very long and hot trip coz unluckily the aircon of our car is not functioning, Sad :( But its fine, It's very fun anyway :)
We reached San Fernando at 12PM and our first activity was in Lubao Bamboo Hub
We stayed there for around an hour or two I think. We eat some snacks there while waiting for our main purpose there which is to enjoy their known "fish spa".
Picture Picture! while waiting for our main purpose.
This place is actually perfect for for family bonding and picnic, they have a lot of activities that you can do and enjoy with friends and office mates like river boating, they have team building facilities or if you just want to meditate, its a perfect place. It's quite and peaceful. Apart from that its jungle themed eco park so you will be able to see a lot of animal statues and read their histories.

| unfortunately I was the only one who have been cursed with the sense of picture posing abilities. |
and after around 30mins of waiting, its time for our main goal in the place. The Fish Spa
Unfortunately, It's my first time to try this activity and I didn't expect that it's gonna be something unusual to me like something I wouldnt like to try so I struggled at first:
 |
| me after putting my foot into the water and the fish started to bite me. it feels like: oh men, its grrr!! I dont know what it feels like. hahaha |
 |
| ". .. kung tayo ay matanda na.. sana'y di tayo magbago. . . " - the trending picture in facebook :P |
After that, we go directly to Apag Marangle in Bacolor to have our late lunch. They serve famous local delicacies including the exotic "sinangang na kuliglig" or Cricket in English.
 |
| The Sinangag na Kuliglig. Eww!! joke! hahaha |
The service actually takes time (around 30-45mins.)
After our lunch we already check in to a resort somewhere in San Fernando called A+Venue
Unfortunately again I wast able to document our stay there because I was asleep the whole time. hahaha. I wasn't even had a time to dive into the pool but the girls was able to take a photo of us (boys) when we sleep:
 |
| I dont know if Luis was really sleeping that time. Lolz |
For our dinner we had it in a "medyo sosyal" na restaurant in San Fernando also. Actually its a Pastries store but they also serve meal and its kinda pricey to some extent.
After our dinner we had a coffee before sleeping in a medyo sikat na coffee shop there called COFFEE PROJECT.
Without our knowledge our beautiful lady boss prepared a surprise birthday cake for me and Rachel since we had our birthdays recently.
The Birthday surprise. Thanks Jaz for this, very much appreciated.

| Birthday Boy -Yours Truly. |

| Birthday Girl, Rachel Ann. |
After that, we headed back to our lounge to sleep as we need to go back early to Manila for our work.
The Next day, we had our early breakfast in the Lounge and at around 9AM we head back to Manila. We reached Manila at aroud 2PM already due to heavy traffic.
It was a weekend full of fun. It's really nice being with these people. Thanks a lot guys for this opportunity of being with you. Until our next (hopefully) weekend get away. Thanks :)
Regards,
