JULIET AT THE CRYSTAL GLADES...

Juliet at Crystal Glades...

Guess what, Juliet?..:)

from a past posting at the Asingan Message Board...

JULIET USON surprised me yesterday Saturday while I was in the Internet cafe..the last time I saw her was in Hawaii a few years back.

I was trying to wrestle with the crazy keyboard of this Internet Cafe when she showed up and invited me to join her in a swimming party. But we will not swim, she said. We will just chat..

Our first destination was STA ANA which we found to be very crowded, very noisy and very BAKYA because the stall rentals were very cheap..Every Tom, Dick and Harry in Asingan seems to be there!

Besides, JULIET and party had no reservation so we were up s..t creek with no paddle. All huts were taken. The owner of the area literally drove us away because our van was occupying space..Sad.

SO we back tracked and dropped into Crystal Glades instead which was already close at hand. . The resort is a bit pricey but you have privacy, a nice pool and a small building with a Karaoke machine ( those kinds which play 1 song at the clink of 5 pesos )

We reserved the place for 2 hours..It was Juliet and I who did most of the singing.The one time beautiful joint is now run by Aurora, the sister of my kumpare, Rudy Manuel.

From there, we went to Domakit for a delicious lunch. It consisted of broiled tilapia ( well done ) dinuguan, tinola, and some home made dessert. It was good.. She showed me their ancestral home ( I bet her sis Marcie was also here last year ). We had lunch in a Gazebo with her kinfolks.. She was expecting a Dance Instructor so I took off. Her relative, who came all the way from Baguio brought me home in his air conditioned car.

Thanks for the lunch, Juliet!!---#
