And so i am off to my trip

And so I finally decided I would go with the IDC team to Manila for the year end team building / Christmas party. That is how they call it. I, on the other hand, call it, the Luzon road trip.
So why did I decided to go? Well, first, the 13th month pay is due tomorrow. That means I will have some extra cash to spend for the trip and buy some things for the trip as well. It is also pretty boring if I will be the one left at the office while the rest of the team is out on their adventure. I obviously didn’t want to be left out.
So what should look forward to tomorrows Luzon trip? I guess the trek to the crater of Taal volcano. I have never been to crater of Taal Volcano. The closest I got was as close to how visitors get to be every time they drop by and take photos of the Taal Volcano in Tagaytay. In short, an island away.
So, I am off the internet is next few hours to get me some sleep and some rest. That is because I will still have to work half of my shift

to go or not to

5 days from now I am bound for manila for the IDC Team building / Xmas party activity. Not that I don’t want to go, it is just that I am a bit short of budget. I have this big project that I am currently putting nearly all my savings into. It is big enough that I really do not have the luxury to spend 4000 php on a Christmas party. In reality, I can. But, I will have to be on a strict financial diet.
At the back of my head, I really want to go. I mean who would not want to, right? The itinerary that the Manila team prepared for us sounds really fun and interesting. We are scheduled for a visit at the Ocean Park in Manila. Right after Ocean Park, we will go straight to Tagaytay and stay at Casa de Carlo. There we will cook our own dinner and spend the night exchanging gifts. The next we are bound to go trekking. Ride a pump boat and conquer Taal Volcano. After the trek we are scheduled to have lunch at Leslies’ Restaurant where we have an overlooking view of the Taal Lake. After lunch, we are scheduled to go to Laguna and straight to Enchanted Kingdom. After Enchanted Kingdom, we will go straight to Pansol where we reserved 3 rooms in a resort with hot spring. The next day which is our last, we are scheduled to go Roam around the Metro Manila and go wherever we want to go.
Now if this trip is not worth the 4000 php budget, then I guess I’m such a loser.
