We finally pushed through the planned outing. We have been anticipating this day hoping the weather and circumstances cooperate. Thankfully "all is well" that day. The weather was good and things went on as planned. This outing is a much need break from the usual.
When it comes to provisions, each of us pledged to bring foods or drinks and other provisions. Aside from the the food, we were to pay also the entrace fee and cottage of the resort. Entrance fee was Php 100 and the cottage rental is Php 1000 so we divided the the rental to each of us. But the good thing about the place is that, it is exclusive to those who booked first. So we had the place for ourselves.
So before we went to the location, I did the shopping first for my pledge as I promised to to bring softdrinks, some alcohol and fruits.
At the store, I immediately went to their alcoholic drinks section.
Was asking myself if I should buy the hard drinks?
or go for the less alcoholic ones?
Considering that I am with mostly women in this getaway, I went for the less alcoholic drinks.
There were a variety of less alcoholic drinks to choose from. I went for the familiar ones.
Smirnoff! I remembered this when my friends brought this during my house warming. Not my own house though. Just a rental but they loved to celebrate my independence that time. 😆😆
Upon checking its alcohol content, it is only at 6% per volume. So this went to the cart.
I thought of buying one type of drinks but decided to buy a variety so they can choose what they like more.
I bought another type from a popular brand of alcohol in the Philippines, Tanduay Ice. I never thought I could have a taste of this bottle with the Tanduay name on it since growing up this is known for its strong alcohol content but when they released this type, it is like drinking juice. Tanduay ice added to cart too.
And of course being a fan of kdramas, soju is always an option. But having tasted soju and knowing its effect at least to me, I kinda think twice. It has higher alcohol content at 13% by volume. So it can actually knock you down easily especially when you have low tolerance for alcohol. So I skipped it for now.
Next to soju, another drink on display caught my attention with its tropical and refreshing look. It's my first time to see this type on the rack. Upon cheking it, alcohol content is 5% by volume which is just perfect. I decided to pick one to try it. It's more pricey than the other drinks at Php 113. It is a product made in Korea so this one is perfect alternative for soju with higher alcohol content. It is called Tock Soda. This one also was added to cart.
Upon searching the net about this product, I discovered this is also soju but it's carbonated soju made fruity with tropical fruit flavor like pineapple, citrus, and others. Nice! With this one, I could drink more soju without getting intoxicated. Heheh.
Having bought the drinks I promised, I went to look for watermelons. Fruits are great desserts as well as snack so it's a must. I think watermelons are the perfect fruits to bring in outings.
At the resort, we tried the different drinks. Tasted each of them and made a verdict. It's the Toka Soda for them which tasted the best. It also smelled so fruity good but for me I enjoyed drinking the Tanduay Ice more.
choose your fighter, heheh...
Both tasted good, sweet and fruity like juice with a little kick of alcohol. Even friends who are not into alcohol can take it.
Aesthetics with my favorite alcoholic drinks.
Have a wonderful weekend!
