Beauty Chase and Randomness: its more fun in the philippines

Whoa! first post after a decade hahaha. I am so excited to share with you my first try to wakeboard (finally!!!) Remember my first post about decawake park at clark, angeles city? Well, that was actually the start of a regular bonding session with my cousin. I wasn't really keen on trying to ride a board, be thrown on that water and dragged by the cable wire like I always see while watching those beginners take their turns. I mean who wants to experience such pain and embarrassment? but hey! that's not the end of the story yet.

So, one day I wake up singing a different tune. "I wanna try to wakeboard!" FOR REAL no more scaredy cat, no more backing out! Woohoo cheer

First thing in the morning I prepared the things that I will bring.

extra clothes to change after ☑

money ☑

soap and shampoo ☑

yakult ☑

And I'm ready!

Oh! I brought yakult just in case I'll be dragged out on the water and accidentally swallowed the water hahaha.

After 30 - 45 minutes drive from our place we've arrived at the decawake park. First thing to do is to go to the counter and register. After registration they will asked what package you'll avail then they will give you wrist bands. We've availed the P400 ($10) for 2 hours package.

Bands color differs depending on the package you've availed.

They will also give you life vest, helmet and other basic equipment. If you have your own equipment you are entitled to a 10% discount. Beginners also have instructors that will teach them the basics for free! Isn't that great! Now that we've secured everything that we need we started to have a splash.

SUPER FUN!!!

See that big grin in the middle? Obviously I've enjoyed my first wakeboarding experience. It was scary at first, but once you already get the hang of it you'll never want to come out of the water anymore

.

How about you? Have you tried wakeboarding? Share your experience with me. I'm sure you had fun too! thumbs up

If you want to try it at Decawake Clark you can see more information on my previous post just click here.

The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.

Agree? I do! And we are so blessed to have availed a great deal from Airphil just in time for our much awaited me time or rather "us" time ( I am with my best cousin ^.^)

WE ARE GOING TO PEARL FARM!!!! *dances with glee* (well that was my first reaction when I first heard the news) I mean who would've not dance with glee? Pearl Farm is paradise on earth and that's just what we need to be able to relax :)

So after a few months upon arriving from Hong Kong (worked related), we booked ourselves a flight to Davao.

Our flight to Davao via AirPhil was so early we were at the Airport around 3:30am and plane take off at exactly 5 in the morning. Upon our arrival in Davao we were greeted by our designated chauffeur (feeling VIP) and mind you we were fetch by him in a super sleek car! (Just me and my cousin inside the car!) Too bad I didn't take a pictures.

Receptionist were really accommodating and friendly. We arrived at the reception area around 9am and the usual check in time is 2pm, however, they allow us to check in earlier so we have our much needed rest.

Pearl Farm is one of the Samal Islands surrounding this part of Davao ocean

The stilt in the middle is where we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights [borrowed pic from their website :)]

So, yeah we were welcomed with fresh pineapple juice and warm smile from the staff.
We spent our days in the resort exploring their beaches and other cottages. We didn't swim much we just slept actually most of the time :P
