Bravo Golf Resort & Spa - My Ohana Summer

"Ohana" means family - extended family in Hawaiian culture. Why Ohana Summer? 'Coz it was the first summer outing that I felt more comfortable and much closer with my colleagues in the office. Our company wanted us to feel that we're family.

I am not quite friendly, because I AM shy. YES, I am SHY! This was the second summer outing I joined, first was the last year. Click HERE.

Our Hawaiian summer concept.

Our company's summer outing was held at Bravo Golf Resort & Spa. The resort was formerly known as Dumaguete Golf and Country Club. It's located in San Antonio, Sibulan, Negros Oriental Philippiness. The place is only 6 km from Dumaguete City. It's known to be one of the earliest golf courses to be built in the country since 1945 designed by Don Serafin Teves and Simplicio Manictic (English professor at Siliman University).

Arrival

We have our own motorcycle - mine is named Titan - so we arrived at the resort before the program started. We registered and got ourselves a place near the poolside. We took a lot pictures and had so much fun. We waited for lunch to be served.

Let's begin the Hawaiian Summer Party

With girlfriends and gayfriends ;-)

Janet, Valerie, and Me

Me and blogger Grah

Alas! Lunch was ready, because tummies were growling. The food were good and tasty. We didn't have a diet plan, so we almost ransacked the buffet table while laughing.

Food Food Food ;-D

While eating, programs and games were ongoing.  Departments were vying for the best performer of the day. We had to cheer our own presenters. 

The program started with a band.

Girls friends.

Our department's presenters.

And, they got these scores. They didn't won, but that's okay.

After lunch, different games were stared. I joined the Team Volley Balloon. We won in the contest, and I got myself a Gift Cert - exchange it for a hairdryer. 

That'sus on the other court.

Here's my prize ;-)

 The band still continue to play, and everyone else still continue to eat. But my group wanted to go to the pool and drink.

This one is a good beer. I thought I only want a Red Horse.

The band still continue to play while everybody else continue to eat, me and my friends decided to go to the poolside to relax and drink. Even under the scorching heat of the sun, we really did have fun.

Of course, the fun would definitely starts in picture-taking.

My girls ready to hit the pool.

The day was really good. Even in the washroom, we did have fun.We took alot of pictures gigling and laughing.

Big girls. Yes, we are!

We did alot of picture-taking. There could maybe at least five shots in one pose. lol

How could you resist with that blue clean water?

MJ, Paulalei, and Me ;-) posing for Valerie, but Bob got us a better shot. So, I grabbed this one.

Everytime someone would shot, "Picture Picture", everyone would automatically got a perfect pose or a wide smile at the camera.

Valerie and Me zoomed out shot by Bob

Swim Swim Swim, then, Drink Drink Drink :-D

We really had fun picture-taking. It was actually the most enjoyable activity we did, but it was one of the reason why I almost got drawned. Bob (our supervisor) was taking snapshots for everybody. He was about to take Grah and Valerie a quick shot on the otherside of the pool, when I saw them. I plunged into the water untill I was in the 9-feet area. I didn't know how to swim, but amazingly got that far, just to join Grah and Val. The shot was finished, and realization striked me that I'm no swimmer and what am I doing in this 9-feet pool. I panicked, and submerged into the water unwillingly. For five seconds, I couldn't breathe, but prayed to God to give me strength to at least get some help. Obviously, no one noticed that I was drowning until I let a yelp sound. MJ, a close friend of mind, noticed that faint sound, and she's actually the only person knew that I cannot swim.

Thank God I shared to this wonderful friend that I didn't know how to swim.

I was saved by Paulalei. He's such a good swimmer. He plunged into the water right after seeing me. We decided to get home after that incident. It's also almost 5:00 PM, and stories about how enchanted the place started. I didn't want to hear about it anymore. I was really scared. God spared me another chance to live. I was so thankful.

Before drowning

Thank you for listening bloggers. I hope you had a great weekend. 

Just me,
