Good Day Hive Family! π Its me . It's good to be back with another content. I hope you will give time to read and enjoy itπ₯°. We, group of friends planned a post-christmas getaway and this was to have a staycation on Dec. 26, 2024 at the hotel named: Crown Regency Hotel π¨
Actually, this plan was mainly planned with my friend, rose. She inform us earlier that the reservation was already booked by her mother, and she (rose) wants us, her friends to use it since it's good for 4 people, and we're a group of 4. And, of course we'd say 'yes', it would be our first staycation together. With this, it given a chance to build a stronger relationship/bond, and getting to know each other more, on how we sleep, how long we take a bath, what beauty products we used and our morning routines. It's good to know more about your friends, except for building a stronger relationship, it also more fun as well.
Since it was our first staycation as a group of friends, were so glad and happy to have time together. And honestly, it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we entered the the hotel, to riding the elevator, to our cozy room, we've made memories of it by taking photos at different spots in a hotel. We took photos at every mirror we see. Even the elevators mirror, our rooms mirror and of course our CR mirror. Cause why not? we love taking pictures. π
First, we spend our bond together by purchasing at grocery store located near the hotel area. We need to stock up some essentials for our stay-cation. We carefully planned to purchased at least good for only two days. We'd pick up canned goods like cornbeef and tuna. We also purchased some snacks like junk foods, biscuit and of course the softdrinks. For breakfast like breads, margarine and chocolate powder for morning drinks. We also planned to make a mango graham, so we also purchased some I ingredients to it like graham crackers, condensed milk and cream. With our bags full of essentials needed, we then headed back to the hotel. We then arranged these goodies at our table.
We now exchanged our gifts to one another because it's still Christmas!β€οΈ. We Filipino loved Christmas so much, we throw parties, and we exchanged gifts. It's a Filipino tradition we cherished, we usually do with our families and friends. So after our dinner, we then give each other a gifts, and open it together. We're so happy and glad to received our gifts, which each of us prepared. The gifts we all received includes face powder, very cute mirror with matching similar colour hair tie, wipes, slick stick, lotion, and comfortable slippers. We appreciated all the gifts, no matter how small, we're grateful for the thoughts. It's the thoughts that counts. I'm truly thankful for this friendship and the joy we share during this unforgettable moment.
The second day, at morning, We change our outfits into new one for photoshoot. First, we went outside our room, we explored the hotel, we tour ourselves, we took pictures at pool area and other floor. After took picture outside We then went back to our rooms. We now take picture inside our room specially the window part, with a nice view for perfect backdrop. We snapped tons of picture together. We play pillow fight, and it was just so fun! We made the most of our time together, enjoying everything moment and made a memories that will last forever!
On the afternooen, we were so excited to try and experience the hotels pool. So we getting ready. We prepared our snacks, all the junks, the soft drinks we love, everything we wanted and needed to bring. We took pictures in front of our rooms mirror and of course by the pool. We're glad that we're the only guests, who's in the pool that day. We have fun, we talk, and we laugh together. We explored the different areas of pool to try it's depth and honestly it's not that dept. It's good since most of us don't know how to swim π. So literally, we enjoyed the pool area! β€οΈ
At night, of course we wanted to make the most of it. We planned to have a tour outside the hotel to soak in the festive atmosphere. I mean like, Hello? it's still Christmas!! You can hear christmas carolling at the park, you can see children together with their mother carolling, I think it's a competition. There are lots of food stalls were you can avail, as they'd offer delicious treats. We took different photos at any view, until we came back at the hotel, took pictures anywhere, everywhere. It was a wonderful night, filled with laughter, creating memories.
Check out time, the last day of our staycation. We prepared anything, we make sure the room was cleaned, without leaving any hassle for housekeepers. We're hospitality management students, and we respect the housekeepers.
They took a pictures of me while walking, as it will leave as a memories:
