one of the pools at the resort. this one has a bridge above it. nice! 
another one of the pools. based on the map at the resort’s lobby, Tambuli West (where we held our party) has more pools compared to Tambuli East. there is one big pool at the East whereas the West has more pools but the pools are relatively smaller in size.
this is a view of the sea. the resort also provides scuba training for a fee, by the way. 
but we didn’t get to avail of the lessons, as those are not part of the budget. ) anyway, in my opinion, the water near the shore of the resort is not as nice to swim in compared to the water in the pool. the water in Nalusuan Beach Resort, though, is way better.
picture of the gift i received. the book is entitled The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder, author of the best-seller, Sophie’s World. this is exactly what i wanted. 
thanks to my manito!
there were a number of people in the resort contrary to what the pics seem to show. i just chose to display the pics with less people to emphasize the place most of the guests were Koreans. there were also a few Caucasians. of course, there were also Filipinos. however, i think the foreign guests outnumber the local ones.
so that’s it for our Christmas party it was nice to get away from the office for awhile. it makes us feel aware that there is more to the world than the four blue panels of our cubicle and the computer that we face everyday. not that i don’t love my computer. hehe. absence makes the heart grow fonder.
