Two Pictures in Pine Trees!

What did these two pictures have in common? Or could you spot the difference between these two images?!

Well, let's have a try! =)

Again these photos were taken from our recently conducted Team Building in Pansol, Calamba Laguna. Before going home, I asked one of my teammates to took a quick shot of me in these beautiful pine trees!

My teammate was not satisfied with the first shot. He then decided to set his camera and change the color effect. Then the first image was the result!

Two types of pictures of me in the pine trees then produced. The first shot was taken using the original color of the trees. As you can see, the original colors of the trees were captured. Three pine trees with two different colors. The first two pine trees have a brownish color. Then the other one is green. Of course the actual color of the surrounding was seen. Even the color of my shirt which is brown and my blue bag were also clearly seen.

On the other hand, when my officemate set the setting of his camera to septia, the first image was produced! All brown! Seems like a work of art! All things blend with one another. The brownish pine trees now blend with my brown shirt in a brown surrounding! It's a world of brown!

Now, which of these two pictures you love and like the most?! Which seems more attractive and catchy?! Which is better? Help me chose between these two photos! Your choice is important to me! Your choice will be published in many of my social networking sites! So get your keyboard and start typing now your choice! C",)

The Team Building Foods!

The saga continues...It's another story from our recently conducted Team Building in Pansol, Calamba Laguna. After the beautiful views and cool photos, it's now time to talk the matters for stomach! Yum-yum-yum! I know you'll love this...!

I have here with you the foods we have during the team building. On the above picture is the complete dishes we ate for an overnight get-together! Are you feeling hungry now? Well, let these photos of our good yummy foods serve as your appetizer. Choose among these foods you wish to eat! =)

The so-called 'Pork Inihaw'!

A Roasted Chicken!

Another Roast Unwrapped!

Hungry?! Want to taste some of them?! Hahaha...how I wish I still have some! =)

Many of the foods we shared in this team building were mainly roast. Roasted pork, roasted chicken, roasted fish! In Tagalog lay-man, "inihaw"! And our girl teammates roast those meats for us!

Chops of pork were roasted in a red hot coal. My teammates patiently fan to keep the fire burning! Aftwerward, a whole marinated chicken was roasted! The taste was similar to the one we always buy from Andoks or from Sr. Pedro! Then we also have a roasted fish on stick! Yup, big tilapias containing tomatoes, onions, peppers, spices, and other stuffs inside were freshly cooked! It was then deep in a spicy-sour tomato sauce! Yum-yum...!

Besides the roasted foods, we also have other dishes! Special menus were cooked for us. These were pork-chicken adobo, binaongonan, fish fillet, and kare-kare which were all served for dinner. Of course, a baked macaroni was our main dish for snack or merienda!

What more, a leche plan which tasted like pastillas was our dessert! Then softdrinks like Coke, Royal, and Sprite quench our thirst! We also have crackers, curls, and other potato chips for light snacks every other hour!

Then on the next day before we go home, slices of Gardenia bread, hotdogss, cup noodles, cheese spread, and a cup of coffee were served for our breakfast!

Hmmmm...I'm I forgot to mention other foods?! Well if yes, sorry I cannot anymore recall! They were too many! I just then hope to fulfill you with these bounty and plenty foods! More and more foods to come on our next outings! Or if not in the next outings, today and in any other day will do...!!! C",)

Beautiful Top Views of Makiling!

My sharing of our recently conducted 2010 Team Building in Pansol, Calamba Laguna is not yet enough. As I told you, I will share you more pictures, scenic views, and other interesting stories.

Today, I will let you see the beautiful views of some parts of Mt. Makiling as seen from top. Yup, one of my officemates took a picture of these beautiful views from the top floor of our rest house.

So, let's start seeing these cool views:

My Beautiful Dream House

Houses Surrounded with Pines

A Pointed Triangular Mountain

A Blue Water Dam Besides the Mountain

A Good Fair Weather with a Clear Sky!

These pictures were so relaxing! Seeing them in a glance seems that all your tensions, stress, tiredness, and boredom were all taken out. It's all green...the color for the tired eyes!

Since it was taken from the top, the clouds were also captured. As you can see, the images were blurred as the clouds keep posing on the camera.

I like to see here the mountains and the pine trees. Pansol, Calamba Laguna is nearer to Mt. Makiling so you can see in the near view these mountain ranges. The solo mountain in the image above seems so cute. Its physical appearance caught the eyes of the visitors!

I also surprised seeing pine trees in Laguna. I thought, pine trees only grow in the cold dry places like in Baguio. In my experience here in our outing, the surrounding here in Laguna is merely warm. So I wonder how these trees grew here! But then it's not possible since Laguna is a mountainous place! =)

So do you love these beautiful views?! What can you say about these images? Which attracts you most?! I will share with you more photos later on so keep in touch! C",)

Enjoying The Night View!

Now that you already saw how our 2010 Team Building swimming pool looks like, I will now share with you our night or the so called midnight fun! It's fun in the pool!

This is how the resort looks like during night time. Colorful, dim, and ready for fun! Still the water was so very clear. It's crystal clear as they say!

Give yourself a chance to take a glance on our midnight fun below:

A Colorful Dim Blend of Light

A Crystal Clear Blue Water!

Still A Hot Spring in the Midst of A Cold Night!

I Missed Experiencing This Tiny Water Fountains!

Actually we didn't really feel the cold water. Since it's a hot spring pool, we still feel comfortable and relax swimming in the dolphin pool!

We enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear water. But most of all, we enjoyed taking pictures of now a memorable beautiful place.

If you're to ask me what are the things I like in this swimming pool, well my answers will be....first the beautiful night view, a view blended with a night light! The second one is the warm clear water! I got curious on how the water become a hot spring. Then my officemate told me that the hot spring in this pool came from volcano. It actually came from Mt. Makiling!

The other things I like most about this swimming pool are the tiny water fountains or ductile on the side of the pool. So cool, so lovely to see and feel! But did you know that I wasn't able to experience that water fountains?! Yup, it's because when they were turned on, I was already out from the pool and already took a bath and dressed with a new cloth! Hayz...'sayang'! But during that time, I already enjoying singing my favorite songs! Naks...!

Now by just looking at the pictures above, imagine yourself in this dolphin swimming pool. If I were to ask you, what are the things you like about this swimming pool? Do we have the same things in mind...?! C",)

Another Dolphin Pool!

Like I promised, I will share with you my experience, activities, and of course pictures from our recent 2010 Team Building in Pansol, Calamba Laguna. Have you imagine how our swimming pool looks like?

What can you observed? Are you familiar with the image?! Did you already see these?!

Well, take a glance first on the following images:

Twin Dolphin Swimming Pools: For Adult and For Kids!

It Took Almost One Day To Completely Fill the Pool

I Love The Hot Spring Water!

Yeah, it's another Dolphin Pool! Are you familiar now?! Definitely!

Actually on our 2008 Team Building in Antipolo, I already shared with you a swimming pool similar with this one. It was exactly a dolphin pool!

Now, it seems that history repeat itself! On the second time around during our Team Building, we got a dolphin pool! A dolphin pool in two different places and in two different times.

The first dolphin pool was in Antipolo during our 2008 Team Building and the second dolphin pool is now in Pansol, Calamba Laguna during our 2010 Team Building! Hmmm...what we will expect for the third, another dolphin pool?!

Well, we will see when we have our third team building! For now I want you to enjoy the image of our second dolphin swimming pool! If I were to ask you, which of the two dolphin pool you love and like the most, the first one or this latest second one?! It's your choice...! C",)

Our 2010 Team Building Venue

Last Friday, July 2, 2010, we had our 2010 Team Building. It was an overnight whole team building outing in the hot spring pool of Pansol, Calamba Laguna. At exactly 10am, we departed McKinley to go to our location.

Well, with regards to our team building, I will give you a series of posts sharing with you our team building experience, activities, some important events, and of course, pictures, pictures, and lot more pictures!

For our today's post, I will share with you first the venue of our this year's activity.

A Smooth and Happy Trip Ridding in One of Our Officemates' Cars

Arriving At The Venue

Like I told you, we left our office at around 10am. Estimating a total hour of travel at a maximum of 2 hours, we will be in the place at exactly 12 noon. We had our lunch at the nearby food chain along the South Express Way. After we ate, we continued our travel.

As you can see, we traveled smoothly without so much heavy traffic.

The Name of the Place!

A Villa! It Looks Like a Mansion!

At last, we already arrived at the place. The resort is called Solemar Del Pansol. Of course it is located in the heart of Pansol, Calamba, Laguna. The name of the resort is very much Spanish! Hmmm...

The place is so beautiful. It is a private pool resort. Another place of a hot spring swimming pool!

Big and beautiful! This is how I can describe the place. It accommodates our whole team composing of 17 members. Well definitely because it has four air-conditioned bedrooms. It extends up to the third floor!

Did you see how the place looks?! On my next post, I will tour you in the place including in our rooms, and in the swimming pools. You will really love its ambiance! For now just enjoy the outside physique of the place! Stay tune in your one and only favorite Rock Land! C",)
