Bantayan Island: Sweet as Sugar (antbites)

By the time my fish tails (well feet actually;that's how i roll it) stepped the powdery white sand and crushing cool waves of Bantayan Island, my island gurl was switched on (seriously).  I was even thinking to stay there like forever?! like I don't have to care bout the world or anything else---only me and the sea and the island.

Ouch! reality bites, I need to work so I was there with my colleagues for an overnight stay.  Everything went well, except for some people who had been drunk and let's just say that sometimes they got overboard with their feeling of being a model (lingerie for men). Erase2x. 

I can't fathom the marvels the island had affected me, during night time, I don't know if it was earth hour or there was a couple of hours of lights off on the whole island.  And we just huddle around and look at the stars flickering above us (aaaahhhh could life be more great than this?!; yah, work; lol). 

Our group went camwhoring and island hopping in the virgin island.  You must pass wavy currents before you reach the island.  People was on there feastive mode hence I do think it was the place's barrio fiesta and oh I did forget to tell you that were staying in a resort name sa SUGAR BEACH.  Yes, because they compare the sand their like of the sugar.

Sweet tooth-pics coming ahead.

welcome to my kind of paradise
 



remember like bora but its not that crowded

Sumilon Island: I ♥ Waves

I'm waving now my shaka (its a bit of confusion of rock on hand gesture).  The beautiful secluded island in the middle of Bohol, Negros and Cebu.  The whole island is for you to rent, there are lots of activities that you can do.  Hiking up to the lighthouse, snorkeling, long boarding, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking etc.

My first and second visit in the island was through company outing (thank you iComm).  I think my company was the one who push me to be a traveler, first this and the NZ (another one perhaps; kidding).  I was young, naive and wholesome way back (bwahaha & goodluck with the wholesome word as if I'm a maniac now;geesh my words are getting worst).

Why I ♥ Sumilon--->waves!!! there's just something about the humungous waves that I like.  Not really that you can compare to the swelling capitals for the surfers but the rush and how it transport you is breathtaking for me.  Well, breathtaking indeed hence I've tried to clash myself toward the upcoming roar of wave and SPLASH, i was sort of inside a water bubble that on which I can't see anything but the transparent blue liquid that envelopes all my pores and which a minute later the panic came to me as I can no longer seem to get the oxygen (hahahaha; stupid paula;i know your laughing right now;yeah so much for your love for the waves), but the after effect of me washed off shore was totally a great relief, its sort of a menthol in your mouth---melting.

Oh well, here's my menthol.

i miss ms. mary




P.S.
There's alot to do with life as what my favorite quote from Mother Theresa.  LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE, DARE IT.

I miss this guys.

O-Peak: A Mountain nor a Hill

Osmeña Peak or popularly known to mountaineers as O-Peak.  The said wonder of nature was named before the Osmeña clan of Cebu (1st well known Cebuano; Sergio Osmeña;does that ring a bell?). Ken2x, Noel and Amy agreed to go there by Saturday afternoon through mini bus located in Carbon Caltex gasoline station.  Then, Ram Sato (our resident climber chef) + his friends came and joined as well.  We've never thought that there are lots of people going to our direction, when I say people these are mountaineering groups or group of people who are nature lovers.

We've decided to take O-Peak as our practice climb since Noel, Ken2x and I are going to Mt. Pulag on September.  It's an opportunity for me and Ken2x to test our new Columbia tent (my fave color: RED).  Amy was so prepared that her mom even gave her holy water and all kinds of flashlights (we've been singing Rihanna's All of the Lights).  The cool thing was that the tent can hold 3 people inside a supposed to be 2 person tent (yay; wats sulit mama?).  It was my first time to huddle up with Ram "chef" Sato, in which there hadn't been any clue that he was a master of cooking.  He made three palettes out of an ordinary fish (inononan, prito and tinula; watttt?).  While Sugar and her hubby, were busy on there tent, Amy and I were helping out-helping out to make a mess (kudos to us Amy).  The weather was great in the evening, the moon and stars, well actually the whole night sky was a dream to watch (ahhhhhh).  The bloppers went on as the night goes by, the TAGAY BOYS were at there limit drinking, no one knows whose vomitting where and where to sleep.  In the end Ram slept outside the tent with only a blanket rolled up on his body due to tipsiness, Ken2x was repeatedly heard vomitting outside the tent but was sleeping heavily.  They had a PhilHarmonic orchestra with Ram. Noel, on the other hand was totally, lazy (yes, applied Bruno Mars song) to the point of vomiting the whole thing inside his tent (innovate!).  We've manage to get up early, eat and climb up the peak.  The view was somewhat of the Lord of the Rings.  After the Climb we went to the beach and had our sweaty and swollen muscles relax (ahhhhh to the second time around).


Outrageous photo now blasting.....
