With the third conference of the PVL not starting until October, the players are making the most out of their long hiatus.
Some are completing their thesis, some are doing pranks, some are moonlighting as cheerleaders, some are getting back in the lab, some are getting engaged, and some are being hilariously mocked by a popular actor.
While fans definitely miss the on-court action, especially coming off a spectacular PVL Invitational Conference, it seems like some of the players aren't. Perhaps they're still relishing their extended rest.
Creamline Cool Smashers star Alyssa Valdez misses an entirely different thing: The weather in Japan. On Instagram, she posted a photo of her at Osaka Castle, which she and her teammates visited a few months ago.

Maybe she could return soon and have another tour. After all, someone she knows very well is quite familiar with Japan as a professional athlete there. It's Jaja Santiago. Were you thinking of someone else?
Like Valdez, Chery Tiggo Crossovers libero Jennifer Nierva also misses being on vacation. In particular, being on the ocean. She also posted on Instagram a photo of her sashaying in a beach. Dyesebel, itabi mo!
PVL stars need all the respite they can get before plunging into battle once again when the league unfurls its second All-Filipino Conference this year.
Valdez will look to carry her momentum from the PVL Invitational Conference, where she won as 2nd Best Outside Spiker, as she once again leads the Cool Smashers. They are coming off a runner-up finish against Japan's Kurashiki Ablaze in the previous competition.
Nierva, meanwhile, will try to improve on her maiden stint for the Crossovers, who finished in fifth place in the PVL Invitational Conference.
October can't come soon enough!
