7 days off, one day of work and another 4 days off – this was my schedule last week and this week. Surprisingly, I didn’t go out of town. I was falling over my budget and I’ve been meaning to save for the second half of the year where I’ll be flying which is why … Read more
This is a late post cause I ran out of words to talk about which is such a rare occasion. This will also be a quick one since I'm swamped with so many responsibilities that I have difficulty sleeping at the end of the day. ———————- Mahayahay Beach Argao, Cebu South Bus Terminal Fare – … Read more
Aarrggghh.. Stressed out from all the surfing to make sure we know how much we’re going to pay for in our trip so that we’ll know if we’ll get duped or something. We don’t want people to take advantage of us there when they find out we’re just tourists. Besides, we’re going there with tightened … Read more
We went back to Julie’s place at around 4pm where I still dipped to have my last in dive in the water. It was great knowing that after all this time; I was able to just be in my element. I believe I’m more of a water person more than anything else. The second half … Read more
Day 4: Thursday April 03, 2008 We just spent today at Julie’s home since it kept on raining the whole day; boohoo. At least their house is just a step away to the sea. So I just plunged right away and lounged around; watching television and sleeping at times. When I checked my camera, I … Read more
Day 4: Wednesday April 02, 2008 Jen and Wena already went home this day as they still have some obligations to fulfill. Too bad for them they weren’t really able to see what we’ve seen. We went back to Magpupungko just in time to check out its beauty. You can never really appreciate the place … Read more
Day 3: Tuesday April 01, 2008 Had an appointment with Alex (trainer), first thing in the morning, I was going surfing! I wanted to try it out since I didn’t want to visit Siargao without even stepping on a surfboard. I mean, if the beach was just my sole purpose, then I’d rather go somewhere … Read more
Day 2: Monday March 31, 2008 Monday morning – Magpupungko We went to Magpupungko, but it was still high tide so we just stayed by the shoreline taking pictures underneath the warm rays of the sun. Afterwards, we visited our host’s family friend where we ate breakfast (food again!). ———- Bonotan’s Lodge Pilaring, Pilar Shameless … Read more
Day 1: Sunday March 30, 2008 COKALIONG 582 Php – Cebu Pier to Surigao From 7pm to 8am (13 hours) We arrived in Surigao at around 8am (13-hour ride) but the roro (boat) to Siargao wouldn’t depart until 12 noon (great). We just strolled downtown to kill the clock. We went to a barber shop … Read more
When I was a kid, since my pop is one of those people who could talk until the break of dawn with just about anyone, he had a conversation with a foreigner named Peter Statham who introduced himself as a high official of a surfing organization in Siargao. He was invited to visit the island … Read more
By the time you may read this entry, most probably, this blogger is trying out the waves of Siargao. Ever since he was a kid, he's heard stories of this great place to surf. First of, he doesn't know how to surf, maybe the net, but the waves, nope. And ever since this owner learned … Read more
I'm typing this as fast as I can, it's 4:30pm. By 5pm, I should be at Mcdo Jones to meet up with my fellow workmates. Our boat's departure is at 7:00pm and we have to be there early. It's a bit stressful at a point since I'm worried if our other colleague who's flight will … Read more
