Entry102 - Cebu Trip: Crickey!

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Ranting about things:
At the beginning of the second day of the trip, we were up late because of the time we got back to the hotel. But, actually, when we got back to the hotel, we ate some noodles we got from the grocery earlier the other day first before we went to bed. We slept at around 3am already.

When we actually got up, we went to plantation bay to have lunch and stay there. Don decided that we stay there because he think it would not only be fun, but also be a good way to see the great places of Cebu. I agree! When we got to Plantation Bay, it was about lunch time, so we went back to Kilimanjaro, the same restaurant as yesterday, and had lunch. Sandie and company was with us for lunch. It was a really great place dine. I love their braised beef, but it would have been better if there were more potato and tomato. During lunch, there were this couple with their really cute kid. By cute, I mean rosy cheek and really chubby. The kid looks a lot like Enzo's nephew, although I'm not sure if that nephew was Kyle, the one who owns the car thingy i rode in Enzo's house the other day. :))

After lunch, we decided to try out some of the recreational facilities first before we do any swimming. I was the one to suggest we do some wall climbing, since I was really missing climbing action. But unfortunately, I was also the one who did not finish the course. Anyways, wall climbing was fun, but it wasn't as much fun if a really young kid was able to go further than you did, and it really kinda sucked.

Climbing the wall... sponsored by Jollibee XD

After wall climbing, we wandered around and saw segway lessons that cost 2500 an hour, which comprises of a 30 minute lesson and a 30 minute ride. It was a bit expensive for our budget. :)) XD Anyways, after that, we went to try out archery. I was actually not too keen on trying it out since I have this thing with bows and arrow (that thing is probably for another entry). Anyways, when Don forced me to try it out, I ended up being the one who was able to hit closest the bull's eye mark, but of course, I would attribute that to just beginner's luck. My first shot actually was "supot." I was trying to aim for the bull's eye, but I forgot completely that i need to pull the string to make the arrow go far and strong. Going back to the kid that was able to go farther than me, He was with his family, and his mom was such a sadist forcing him to count in chinese before he can go down the wall. If you are a child and already scared shitless, would you have counted in chinese? It was quite weird. :)) This couple also have other kids that the girls were infatuated with. the two girls was... wait, for their privacy lets just refer to them as E and V. :)) They were really cute, I admit, but they were kind of obnoxious as well. I think that its the culture difference. :) While waiting for his turn to shoot his arrow, Enzo made a CIppow on sand... Hi Sheenz!

Enzo and Cippow!

Girls and the English Girl

Us on the Swing

Me on Swing... Reminiscing Childhood

After the shooting some arrows, some of the guys decided to take a dip, but I together with Don and Misha decided to go back to room with the girls. They decided to sleep, but I wasn't that tired so I read my book. Misha, on the other hand, was also tired so he decided to sleep, which I should say was something he shouldn't have done. He snored! And by that, I mean that he snored like there was no other night that he could sleep soundly. He was snoring so loudly, that the room seem to shake and rumble softly. It was a bit embarrassing to hear him snore like that especially with the girls around sleeping as well.

Me shooting arrows XD

Earlier that day, when we arrive at Plantation Bay, Don reserved a table for the Luau event that night. But since the girls were sleeping, we had to stay at the room till about 730pm and lose the table that Don had reserve. Albeit (oooh cool term!) the set back, we were seated at the restaurant, and was able to have a great dinner buffet. The food was amazing, especially the makis and the dessert. The night highlight of dancing girls and boys in scantily clad clothing was nice to watch. What got my attention, though, was not the hawaiian dancers but the fire dancing. I love watching people dance, but the exhibition of the fire dancers were really spectacular, if not breath-taking already.

Dinner at Galapagos Beach

Before dinner started, Don told me that he had a surprise, and I wasn't so sure what to make of it. I know that the girl were not staying with us that night, so my first instinct was that girls were coming to our room and give us a massage. I was actually talking with Don about getting a massage, but then Gio texted Misha about the OSA being closed. And i got the idea that Gio might be coming as the surprise. After a while, I knew that the surprise has to be someone, since Don had to talk with someone who wasn't calling him, with an excuse that it was his dad. (Don, you are totally easy to figure sometimes) Anyways, to make the story short, Gio was able to catch up with us and made our lives a lot harder. Gio, let us put, makes the car a lot smaller for us :))

Don's Surprise: Boys at the Breakwater

After that we went to the breakwater and had a long photoshoot. We also had a chance to see crabs and a school of fish! That was really awesome! XD Then on, the others went back to the room, me and Enzo stayed behind because we wanted to take a dip at the jacuzzi. The other guys were supposed to follow, but after an hour or so waiting for them to come we gave up and headed back for the room. But before we did that, I learned how to float in water. the low level of water in the jacuzzi served as my launching pad to the deeper pool water! It was really great to learn something out of your adventures.

Sunset at Plantation Bay: Breathtaking...

When we got back to our room, we found out that Jonats had a bad stomach. He threw up, and that stopped the rest of the guys to follow us. If I were in the same position, I wouldn't have followed us as well. Anyways, since Jonats was doing well already, the other went down to take a dip at the pool. I, on the other hand, decided to take a shower already. After taking a shower, I followed the guys downstairs. By the way, the girls and Don headed home already. When i got there, it was the first time I got the comment that i looked Korean. I was wearing my thick rimmed glasses, matched with a hat, and a jacket zipped all the way up. It was fun. I tried taking a nap at one of the recliner, and guys decided to scare me. But, good for me, I wasn't really tired yet, and i figure that their silence meant something :)) XD

I also found out, earlier that day, after three years in college, that I finally got a flat 3 for a QPI! I was so happy. Not only that, my letter grade in LS was an A which would mean that my paper also got an A. :)) XD At around 1am, I decided to hit the sack, but not after telling the guys to watch some porn over the resort channel :) It was really funny how we browse through the titles of porn dating back to the 1950s :)) XD That's all for Day 2. Day 3 coming up! XD The title is in honor of the English dad. XD
