MDP Travelogue III: Punta Fuego Day 2

October 17, 2007

We had our MDP (Management Development program) graduation day last October 11, 2007  and I don’t even have a picture to show for it. For one, I didn’t think that Peter would be able to make it as my guest and I felt so sad that I didn’t bring my Olympus digicam only to realize afterwards that he did come and was able to watch the whole ceremony! And most importantly, I guess, even if I finished Top 9 in class (I graduated with distinction), it’s really not a big deal to me  then…until I got to experience its ramifications afterwards…(like having no life at all the moment we got back to our respective work assignments three weeks ago!) Even now that I am writing this, I am doing so with a mind and body sooo tired and drained from all the “exploitation” being done to us…but that’s another blog post I guess. For now, let me continue my journal during the happiest days I had with MDP…

The following day, I woke up early and did a little jogging with Ireen. The weather was still cold but at least it was not raining anymore. This exercise activity also helped us explore a bit of Punta Fuego. The Casitas were nicely built near the cliff, thus the sea view outside our room and on the way down to the infinity pool. It was simply breathtaking! Even if it was cloudy and the sea lacked its azure hue, the landscape on this part of the resort was still beautiful. I could stay here forever, mind you, if only they had more white sandy beach to offer.

After half an hour, we headed to the well-lit and decorated dining hall for breakfast. Many of my classmates and supervisors were already there enjoying the variety of meals being served. I stayed with the boys and listened to their banter. They were quite entertaining. Hehehe.

 

 

I tried a bit of every food they got before I headed back to the room to change into my swimming attire so I could also enjoy the infinity pool myself, which some of my classmates already did earlier that morning.  Aaaaahhhh… c’est la vie!

 

 

The rest of the afternoon was spent touring the houses built by Punta Fuego members. And my god they were huge! They’re the type of abodes that would really make you feel so poor. I mean, when I first saw them, I thought, who knew that there are lots of rich people in our country?! Imagine huge mansions, lined up in different colors and architectural styles (Spanish, Italian, European, Victorian, etc.) , one block after another?! And these are just merely vacation houses of these rich folks which they seldom visit!!!! How lucky for their maids! ***Inday must be happily living in one of these splendid structures!***
