Rachelle is a close friend of mine and she celebrated her 27th birthday last Sunday, June 30, 2013. She invited me and my husband for an overnight swimming at Villa Teresita Resort in Maasin, Iloilo. At first we did not plan to bring Janzen because night swimming might not be good for his health. He might caught a flu or get sick. But because it was the birthday celebrants request we didn't have any choice but to bring him over. We left the house around three in the afternoon and waited in front of the Pavia Church because that is the place where they will pick us up. We arrived at Villa Teresita Resort and after settling at a cottage we unpacked all the foods that they brought especially for that occasion. Rachelle on the other hand checked up all the other rooms because we need a bigger place to stay in for the night. Finally, we were able to check in the biggest room in their resort and we were pretty amazed by how the room looked. The decorations and the beds and linens were not that elegant or luxurious but everything was clean and the room smells fresh even without the help of air fresheners. We were very pleased with our room because we know that after a tiring swim at the pool we could all rest at a comfortable room.
We gather around the table, sang a happy birthday song to Rachelle and wished her a happy birthday. We ate almost every food that is prepared on the table and had some story sharing while cleaning up tables and washing utensils. We were all laughing and giggling, then we decided to swim at the pool. Villa Teresita has an Olympic size pool with plants and trees all over the resort. They have great landscapes and I noticed there are artificial plants and trees on some parts of the resort. I ask the caretaker of the resort, because of curiosity, why did they decided to use artificial plants, just like the Outdoor Rated 6' Japanese Maple Tree. He simply replied that the owner is cutting cost for maintenance of the trees and plants that is why they have decided to use the artificial ones. Now, I understand why some establishments prefer to use artificial than real plants.
We all went to bed to rest and woke up the following morning very hungry. Good thing they have a complimentary breakfast ready to be serve to us. We were all very happy while packing our things and getting ready to go home. The experience of staying over at the Villa Teresita Resort was one of the most memorable events not just because of the nice place and good crews or the complimentary breakfast but because it was shared with the people whom matters the most to me, they were my family and friends.
