Surf Season 2008

It doesn’t really matter if you’re a surfer, surfing enthusiast, or a good ole beach bum toting the requisite bronzed skin, Havaianas and San Mig. Light. The winds are changing, and the swell is building, which means that surf season 2008 is about to open. This means sand, sun and more surf trips to exotic picturesque locations like our country’s SURFING CAPITAL, SIARGAO ISLAND.

sO.,here are some little tidbits on what we actually did during my hOLy wEek vAcatioN at siARgao isLand., PhiLippinEz… and hopefully give some of you who are interested to go there, some ideas as well.. Beware, this will be a long entry. =)

Going to Siargao is an experience in itself alone… You would be able to ride all means of transportation just by going there.. sea-land transpo?? — you’ve got them all..<<aZ in… kApoi daUn aU nGa tRip..bUt,, wORthL it ayOh..hEhe.>>

We arrived at Siargao Island at about 7 or 8 in the evening <<aPriL 2, 2007>> and we were a bit tired from all the traveling that we decided to eat and just frolic in the beach.. The resort we stayed in could offer you a lot of things to do so there would be no worries regarding how you wanted to spend your day…<<thaNkz fOr tHe cAbuntog ResoRt., tHe sTaFf theRe.., aNd tO mAyOr RusiLLon and famiLy… gRabeh cLah kAh buOtan sAh amOh…hEheh…imAgine…wE’ve gOt aLL thE sERvices fOr fRee..hoOOh…>>

thEn.,WE left early mOnday morning <<apriL 9, 2007>> with good ‘ole memories of this beautiful island of Siargao.. Heck no, I’m not being sappy, but the place just kind of made me fall in love with it..<<aNd sO wuth the peOpLe tHeRe… <<hahAha>>.. There were so many activities to do there which was really cool cause it’s not a haven for beach buffs only.. You get to surf, island hop, spelunking amongst other things.. Everything there was so different from Cagayan de Oro CiTy and so laidback that you wish you could afford all the time in the world to do that… 

Anyway, I’m ending this absolutely and shudderingly bLog entry of mine..hAHaYyzt… (aYay..muRag tAas2x sAd jUd nih nGa entRy…)…What patience and time you must have for reading up tiL this last line.. bwAhaha..thaNKz… =)
