What’s UP, Los Baños?

Does this scene seem familiar?

Hanging out in hallways, waiting for your crush… este, your next class pala.

If there’s not much to do in Los Baños on a weekend, try visiting other towns in Laguna. One of the more refreshing places to visit would be Majayjay Falls in Majayjay Town. It’s actually called Taytay Falls but people I asked always refer going to Majayjay Falls. Anyway, to go there, just go to Sta Cruz then take a jeep that goes to Majayjay. And then there’s a jeep that goes there from the town proper. It is best though if you have your own ride so you don’t waste time waiting for passengers to fill up the jeepney. Prepare for a dip in the ice cold waters, bring food for a picnic or tents if you want to camp overnight. Hope that it won’t rain as the waters could get muddy, unless of course, you’d like to bathe in a chocolate waterfall…

A 3-pool aquathlon (UPLB Baker pool, Botanical Garden and Pook ni Maria Makiling) organized by the UPLB Trantados Triathlon Club will be held on Sept 15, Saturday starting at 3pm.

Here’s how it goes:

Run from Baker Hall to the Botanical Garden (2km incline) and swim 400
meters in the 25-m pool. Then run to Pook ni Ma. Makiling (3km incline) and swim 400m in its 50-m super cool pool. Then run 3kms downhill screaming like crazy to Baker pool for a 400-m rinse. And finally run just a bit (and I really mean it) towards the line for a dramatic, picture perfect finish.

 Distance: 3 x 400 meters and 2km+3km+3km “rolling” run course (swim course guaranteed flat - meron bang di flat na swimming pool?)

Registration fee is P450.00.

See you there?

Remember these places along Lopez Ave? Perhaps you’ve live at Revilleza Compound, shopped at Tony’s, or got held up in traffic along Lopez Elem. School as you rush to your 7 am class!

(Revilleza Compound - still looks the same `no?)
