awesome birthday is awesome! :D

so the family went to Island Cove, a resort in Cavite,  Philippines to celebrate my birthday and my brother's graduation.

what about it? IT WAS AWESOME! as the title suggests.. ;P

anyway, if you want to have fun more than the usual and make a trip put of town, i strongly suggest going to the Philippines. if you already are in the Philippines, go to Cavite. when you're already in Cavite, you have to go to Island Cove!!! it's awesome there and a day and a half there is NOT enough! the family so want to extend some more but we've got lots of things to do for the next days and weeks. so we went home anyway.

reminiscing on my birthday, let's explore the Island Cove :D



the front part D'UH! :)) k. here's the hotel Lobby. where we check in :D


on the left side is where we ask what room number are we gonna be spending the night in and on the rigth side is a mini cafe where delicious banana bread and revel bar can be bought :D


now we go in our room :)



since it was lunch time when we got there, we ate at the Fishing Village which had mouth-watering dishes :D oh yeah, we also ate dinner here since we wanted to taste other dishes that they had to offer us. also, an acoustic band sang me a Happy Birthday  and other pop and backtrack songs upon request during that dinner so it was extra special :D




as you can see here, there were strong winds so it was super breezy :D

and we had to hold on to our stuff else they will be flown off to the sea


we didn't want that to happen. i mean who does right? :D





after eating lunch and before we head for dinner, we made sure to rest for a while in the hotel room and get ourselves ready for the most anticipated experience of the Oceania Water Park which had some awesome slides for people of all ages. the park is open to all guests even though they are not checked in :D here's an awesome picture my mom took :) btw, i only rode the blue slide which was the shortest slide among those other colors. didn't have the guts to slide down the green one, it was too tall for me to handle :))


then, since there was a sign that says "this way to pool" inside the hotel, the next day, we spent the morning in the hotel pool and jacuzzi which were exclusive for guests who are checked in the hotel.
P.S. i have an awesome experience to tell about that pool and that jacuzzi. (right after the picture :D)


ok here's the story: so i first went in the jacuzzi since we weren't able to go the jacuzzi part of the water park. yeah, it was warm and all. but that was just the introduction to what i did. so it was the day after my birthday and i thought, hey! i want to have fun since it is my second day of being a 19-year-old person. so what i did to celebrate my 2nd day as a 19-year-old was to dive to the pool from the jacuzzi. what i didn't know was the water where i jumped to was 6 ft deep! and i swore to myself that i will never go as deep as 6ft. so when i was already in the water, my feet were looking for the ground to stand on but wasn't able to find it since i was only 5ft and 1inch tall. i didn't want the thought of drowning on my second day of being a 19-year-old so i immediately swam onto the side and held on it and lifted myself from thereon. i was totally in a state of awesome because this was once in a life time experience i am glad i did dive int hat 6ft part fo the hotel pool because if didn't do it, then i wouldn't feel any fulfillment on that day. :D

we stayed in the cove for two days and one night so we left after swimming in the hotel pool and jacuzzi. we ate later on in SM Manila @ Max's because we missed it so much. we even told the waiter that it was my birthday on april 15 when it was the day before. they didn't know anyway so they sang Happy Birthday to me, plus a free slice of a strawberry cake roll which i haven't eaten yet and i bet is already expired by now in the refrigerator. here's the pic:


looks delicious! and my birthday didn't end there. i still haven't claimed my free Pepperoni pizza from Shakey's so last April 18, my brother accompanied me in getting my free pizza and helped ourselves in eating it for merienda. :D here's the pic :) mmm.. yummy! :D



so that was my birthday celebration with my family. coming up next, birthday celebration with my best friend! :D
