Live Active
On 1 May, 2013 By Anonymous (not verified)
I've always deemed myself for living a healthy and active lifestyle (or at least I try to) Yes... It saddens me to admit that I've reached the "point-of-no-return" as I call it when the weighing scale is about to tip and the muffins (not the yummy looking ones) are getting more and more obvious. They say that step one into self transformation is admitting what you've been trying to deny to yourself. So Yes, I have gone overweight, so much so that I sometimes find it hard to carry myself already and all my fave clothes just won't fit flatteringly anymore, and it is with deep regret that I have become victim of my own depression that led me to the unhealthy couch potato habit. *sigh*
Since I'm an event planner as well, what first excited me most was their function rooms, ballroom and event areas. And, If I were to organize a holistic business with pleasure event that I can freely do in the South, VSC will absolutely be my top choice. Spacious rooms, well-equipped with high-tech AV equipment, a ballroom that can sit more than 300 guests, and a lush and breezy cocktail area with a view? What more can I ask for?

Going back to the business at hand though- that is, the "exclusive tour," I was amazed to discover that the event areas that tickled my excitement was just the tip of the iceberg coz there's soooo much more one can find and experience inside VSC.
To give you a somewhat digital version of the tour I experienced, let me start off with the Tempus bar, where they house the media room where you can sing your hearts out with a videoke session with the barkada or maybe play xbox with the kids...
Tempus Bar - Foozball and Air Hockey table games
Or watch your favorite game with the boys. Don't you think Tempus bar can also be a perfect venue for a wholesome bachelor's party? This room just screams testosterone...

After that, we crossed the lot and went to the more sporty side of the club and on our way had a peak of their body magnetizing pools. I swear, if I could, I'll jump into water to beat the heat right then and there but we had few more rounds to do. And oh, for Matteo Guidicelli fans, as another proud VSC member, he does laps here too. More reasons to join the club , huh?
Zenith Spa
the Zenith Wellness Spa complete with relaxing sauna and steam rooms...
And the Zenith Gym that's equipped with the most advanced, high-tech exercise equipment from Technogym, including the finest strength and cardio equipment carefully handpicked by VSC to provide its membres the ultimate workout experience.
Moving on with the tour, we then crossed more sports facilities that made my eyes just bigger and bigger with excitement, such as the covered clay tennis courts, a football field with jogging path...
I love sunset photos and this in particular makes me miss playing football.
And more modern sports facilities like their indoor basketball court, built with a FIBA-approved maple hardwood flooring, with court overhead lighting and an electric scoreboard...

and for table tennis.
Another sunset shot. This place would be perfect for
What a lovely sight. Can you imagine a walk down the aisle in an intimate Christian wedding here? *sigh with much kilig*
Anyway, nothing beats a relaxing day with people you share the same interests and have engaging conversations with. Here's a photo of the girls of the group I shared the day with at VSC. And just to share... What I will forever remember from this sweet afternoon is a quote from Alexa who's a journalist, a blogger, and a girl who finds time every week to attend a dance class right after work- "I decided to make time" - a short phrase that makes a lot of sense especially to those who think they just don't have the time for exercise and to live a more active life *guilty*. So, how do you find the perfect balance between work and play and live active? Decide to do so and make joining the Village Sports Club part of that. Amen.
