10 Ways to Relax on a Rainy Day
by Renzie Baluyut
It’s the rainy season at around this time of year in the Philippines, so you can expect the usual downpour in the afternoons and early evenings. There’d be times when it would be raining all day, and if you’re really lucky, you’ll find yourself in the path of the occasional tropical storm.
It’s that time of the year when it’s most prudent to bring an umbrella with you everywhere you go. You take your chances if you’re planning an open-air event, and you always have to plan for contingencies when making out-of-town trips.
When I used to deal with events for the old radio station I was working for, this was the time of the year when we would plan a lot of indoor activities. I would have a preference for events and promos involving spas, restaurants, hotels, movies and lots of shopping. Of course, you do your best to come up with more creative executions of all kinds of below-the-line activities.
So if you’re looking for a few ways to just kick back and take it easy on a rainy day- something that doesn’t involve a PC or your workstation in any way possible- here are a few tips that might just hit the spot.
Renzie Goes To Kawayan Cove
I just came from this most awesome place in Nasugbu, a coastal municipality in Batangas, about 2 hours south of Metro Manila. Nasugbu is known for its white-sand beach resorts and tropical forests, which therefore makes it a fairly popular summer destination.
Kawayan Cove is an exclusive residential seaside community which covering about 68 hectares worth of prime beach-front real estate. You have to give credit to the developers for easing in the village among the groves of trees and bamboo, making it as close to the nature as possible by working with the natural contours and landscape.
The result was simply spectacular. You have family-friendly amenities and wide-open spaces inobtrusively tucked into lush the Batangas forest, with minimal disturbance or alteration to the topography, and a population density well lower than the typical high-end developments in the general area.
Anyway, I realize I have a lot to write about this particular visit, so I hope to churn out all my posts over the weekend. You’ll definitely be reading more from me about my visit to Kawayan Cove. Highlights of my Kawayan Cove adventure:
Thinking of Getting Married Anytime Soon?

Seems everyone wants to know when I’m going to get married. For those of you who have been following my goings-on these past few weeks, […]
