Villa de Mercedes is Davao's
premiere residential resort about 15 minutes away from my place. You have to be a guest of a homeowner before you will be allowed to use their swimming pool and other facilities. Their coffee shop is open for the public though (I think).
I was supposed to go with my boss and a few people from work to Bohol that weekend, but I decided not to join them. But because I was jealous of their trip, I called up my boss and asked him to hook me up with a reservation for Villa de Mercedes. Saturday morning, we were confirmed for sponsorship!
Thank you bossing! You're the best!
Saturday Night.
Telai: Frank, let's go there early coz Telaw has to leave after lunch.
Frank: Ok. Let's leave at 7AM.
Sunday Morning.
7AM: Telai has: Cooked. Cleaned. Laundered. Packed.
9AM: Frank, Nigel and Telaw arrived. No food whatsoever. No RB in sight.
After they picked me up at home, we went around Toril to buy ourselves some food for the pool party. When we got to VdM, we found out they only allow food brought in the picnic area in a separate place inside the subdivision.
The pool was still being cleaned when we got there, so yay! We decide to make use of their huts in the picnic area for brunch! We were assigned in Kubo 4, and were joined by a lot of pussies during our meal. HAHA.
Brunch was a riot. Lechon manok and grilled pork! Parang nasa beach lang.
When we finally got to the pool area, we were so amazed at the beauty of the place! What's more - there were no one else around but us! A vast swimming area and grounds exclusive to us = PARADISE!
For the rest of the day, we lounged, we swam, we played, we laughed, and we took lots of pictures! We completely forgot about sunblock, but who cares when you're in seventh heaven! We stayed there until they've turned on all the lights at the resort. Forget about Telaw having to leave by lunch time! Tumbling na lang!
Here are some of our photos from the outing:
Villa de Mercedes is definitely one of the nicest places I've ever been to in the city. I could live here. *Matawagan nga ang MFF (Mother Father Foundation) at nang makapag-raise ng funds to buy a house and lot here* HAHA.
Here's a panoramic view of the resort at twilight:
