My Retreat

Im always on the go. Its either I am going late for office or Im accompanying my grandparents to their doctors appointment. Im never really rested for the past weeks or so. Going from one place to another is quite a thing for me. I think I'm at ease with travelling. I go with the flow. But when I shut down I go somewhere far. So since I have been out of sync with my system for quite a while now. I have booked a retreat for myself. In order for me to internalize and see inside myself what path I am now trudging in. Where do I want to go and come to terms with my self. Also, most importantly talk to God in peace.
 
Luckily, I have this coupon from my Belle de Jour Power Planner about a 40% off for accommodation. The next thing I did was book a retreat and relaxation package with my bestfriend in tow. So off we went to Grand Seas Subic Resort in Subic and checking "out of town bonding session" off our list too! (Talk about hitting two birds in one stone!).

Since it was so inexpensive I thought that the rooms would be just small but I was surprised that the room was actually big! The beds are big enough and the toilet room was very nice! Also, they have free massage in the coupon too! So much for relaxation. Here are the pictures to have a glimpse of this wonderful resort with wonderful staffs!

Le Small Infinity pool
The pool was really small but then again since the place was so serene and I think its not peak season then its not crowded and you can swim there all by yourself and if you would want a bigger swimming place there is always the beach for that!

Le Sands and Beach
 
Seashore
After some Rest and Relaxation from our first day, I would say that it really is a very fine retreat place for those aiming to do just that. So I encourage anyone who want to have a quiet time and be with nature to book their RnR here at Subic Grand Seas Resort! But before checking out, of course, we must avail the first meal of the day and that is their complimentary breakfast!
Le Tablescapes
I love how they set their table. Its very chic to look at and very classy for that matter! Though I would say that the first few minutes of sitting at the table was a stressful part for me because my bestfriend played the stemmed glass to bring out a tune from it! (think about the promil child commercial where the kid is playing a tune from the stemmed glass water) I was panicking as I thought the glass would break while emitting sound! But yeah a sound was produced and the commercial was humanly possible I guess!
 
I had a picture but then I respect the privacy policy of our friendship so no spilling of pics in public social media including blogs I guess? (hahaha but I am the only one who loves to write so I guess blog rules are just for me hehehe *wink wink*)


 
After that stressful minutes, breakfast was served.
 
Le Yummy Complimentary Brekky
 
I honestly thought that the breakfast was just a small serving since its just a complimentary one and the review of it was really terrible in the net, so I was seriously considering of ordering one full serving but lo and behold the complimentary breakfast plate was actually a full meal! It did make my hunger satisfied and I ate really heavy breakfast so I can last the whole day for it to be filled it means that it really is a big serving! So advise for those who will get it please choose the sausage breakfast and not the scrambled eggs one. YOU HAVE A CHOICE so CHOOSE WISELY *wink wink*
 
Le Church in front of it
Of course, since we saw a church in front of the resort when we arrived. We promised to drop by and pray for a little while. Trivia: Did you know that when its your first time in a church you can have a wish and it would really be granted? If you didn't know then NOW YOU KNOW!
 
Le View from the bus going home
 
 
Of course, all good things always comes to an end. After that stressless retreat and relaxation it is now time to face head on the busy streets and work days stress.

Until my next RnR Adventure,
