Los Banos Laguna _ Flat Rocks

I was very eager to go to the UPLB Fair last Friday, Feb. 17.  However, since I have friends who would like to come over to UPLB on the 19th, I decided to make arrangements to be there on the 18th, the last day of the fair, meet a builder, then enjoy the last day of the Feb fair 2012.



The view from SM Calamba. I first decided to stay here while waiting to meet with the builder.



SM Calamba is within Calamba City in the province of Laguna. See there is a ricefield beside the parking area.



Tierra Sueno Townhouses in Calamba. I visited this place in order to check out this project in Laguna.

After visiting Tierra Sueno, it's time for me to go to UPLB for the fair. I did not take photos then.

In the morning, this is how UPLB looks like after the fair.





There was a kid's football clinic on the field that Sunday (02-19-2012).  There is also a Kindergarten's activity that day.

The highlight of the day is when Jollibee crews asked to use a part of the building I stayed in to dress a mascot. We agreed and took him in our place to have a picture with him.




In the afternoon of that Sunday, my ELBI brothers and sis asked me to join them to take a short hike in the Flat Rocks, a place near the UP College of Forestry, somewhere in the Mt Makiling. It will take 15 minutes of hike over muddy slopes (it rained the night before) and big rocks at the falls. On the way there we saw some big trees (i forgot what they were called).





See how near the Flat Rocks is. only 374meters from the signage.



I wasn't able to get a photo at the trail but here is how the rocks look like at the Flat Rocks





My brod was pointing to a way in between rocks where we can climb up. Below him is a pool of water and a mini fall.

Climbed up to a big rock to take a picture





One of my friends made this pose. too bad it's blurry. but look at how big the rock is.



And a refreshing pose on the falls. With earrings on.

I had a great time there enjoying the exclusivity of the place.  We started back to UPLB campus and reached it before night.



Here is how it looked when we get back on campus.

I had to leave for Manila that evening. It rained that night. It was awesome. I was able to visit Flat Rocks in good weather and leave for Manila just when the rain started.

Awesome ELBI trip this year.
