Ala ‘Amazing Race’ at the beach

---

This year's company summer outing was at Virgin Beach Resort. It was a two and a half hour bus convoy from Makati to San Juan, Batangas. There is not much to write about this beach, actually. The pictures from their website looked prettier than expected. It was close to a sugar-fine brownish-white sand beach nonetheless. The food provided by the resort was bad. Big time. Good thing we had fun with our game ala 'Amazing Race'.

We were divided into 6 teams and I was tasked to swim from the shore of the beach to the man on a kayak to get our next clue. My male teammate had cramps when we reached the kayak so I left him and I swam as fast as I could back to the shore! As soon as I got on my feet on the shore, I ran as fast as I could. I got too tired running to my team's location so I let go of myself -- I threw the clue to them and I fell on the sand. I got few scratches on my right knee. Dramatic, huh? I was just so tired.

Oh, another highlight was that I got stung by a yellowish-white jellyfish! They were teasing me that they could readily 'donate' their urine. Ya know, there's this superstition that jellyfish sting could be treated with urine. Ewwww! Instead, I ran to the clinic and the nurse applied the following on my right arm: 1) Agua Oxinada 2) Caladryl
