A Day @ San Benito Farm, Batangas

My office buddies egged me to join them on a day trip to San Benito Farm in Batangas. Being the spa sucker that I was, of course I agreed. After much cancellations though, we finally made it. Hahaha!

The place looked like (well it actually is haha) a relaxing sanctuary for those urbanites who wanted respite from the stresses of city living. Work, quarterlife (or midlife) crisis, home issues, and traffic woes took a back seat. All I could think of was... "how I wish I'm here every weekend!" If only I had enough moolah. Hahaha. The farm reminded me of my days in the province back when I was young. The scent of the air, the warm breeze, the lush greenery.

It also reminded me what I drew back in college, Marketing class, when the teacher asked us to draw what we wanted in life ten years from now. All my classmates drew really big houses, their own businesses, drawings depicting their successful career, etc. What did I draw? A nice family of three (or was it four?) with a decently sized house by the lake, near the mountains. Ack. IS there such a place nearby? That was my dream back then. It still actually is till now.

Goodness, I'm really a provinciana by heart. Hubby is right, we must get a farm of our own, away from the urban life.

Anyway, here are some pics I took at the Farm. Sorry, I didn't take that much. I was more into feeling the moment rather than capturing each scenery but failing to be in the moment. So yeah, I was trying to be present every second of it. So, less pictures.

Had to walk going to the spa

Love the Spa reception area. Lots of comfy daybeds. Will check www.daybeds.com for inspiration for my "spa" area in our balcony hahaha


Our view while doing yoga. Heavenly bliss! Oohhhhhhmmmmmmm....

Lunch Menu - No meat.





My spa place. Big space for just me. Love it.

Bye bye time!

Will I be going back? Yup, definitely. Told the hubby already that we spend overnight or at least have a day trip here. And he agreed. Yay!
