Camsur Watersports Complex: My first wakeboarding experience

Bicol Trip!

After hours of journey from Cagsawa Ruins, through farmlands, mountains and breathtaking scenery of the region we finally arrived at CamSur.
 
We used the Starex Van for the 3 days bicol trip which owned by our friend and of course we have our fair share of  misfortunes.

    Good thing our driver kuya Ceasar the one wearing white shirt was able to fix it. Thanks God!
 Tuloy ang ligaya:)
 
Welcome to CamSur!

We are all excited for the wakeboarding but since we been on the road for hours we first had
our late lunch on thier own Clubhouse Restaurant & Bar
 
 Patay gutom mode na!

  Warning! Food Porn!
all prices are reasonable
Laing : traditional Bicolano dish of sautéed taro leaves in a spicy coconut milk sauce
Bicol Express: Pork strips with baby shrimps in a very spicy coconut cream sauce.
A Bicol Specialty!
Grilled lemon butter Tanigue served with rice
Pork Barbeque- Two sticks of barbecued pork served with java rice
 
After the sumptuous late lunch, gastronomic experience or whatever adjective perfect to describe it! One thing for sure! Happy tummy! We rested for a while and checked other amenities.
 
They have cabanas for rentals, swimming pool, game room, Spa: massage and free wifi! world class! ang bonggels!
 
This could be the reason why international competitions is being held here.

-1st wakeboarding Experience-
 
For the rates you can check this link: CWC. They can accommodate you either morning, afternoon or night all day. Check kayo ng bonggels kc mas mura sya pag di peak hours and they said it’s for 2 hours lang! dedmahin nyo! Hahaha…not true we stay for 4 hours more fun more sakit sa katawan! no additional charges!

You have to deposit P500+ Valid ID but it’s refundable upon return of the gear: vest and helmet baka uwi mo daw! souvenir:)
 
Clean rest room and they also offer lockers...No hassle!

  The Winch Park is for beginners and the strength is 30 which is slower that the main Cable
 Park pero kung feel mo umagaw ng eksena gow! I heard the strength of the cable pull is at 80!
 kalowka! buwis buhay!
Simplangers ang peg! and this cute little boy help me:) try again lang daw! go go lang!
 
For beginners, they said it's advisable first to try the knee-boarding pero  dahil iba ang level at akala mo di takot..hahaha. I jumped into standing position and after two fail at pag inum ng napaka  fresh na water..hahaha slimy water.... I was able to do it! You don't have to worry may briefing chiniz before you drink gallons of slimy waters..serioulsy they will teach you the right position of arms and legs in 5 minutes:)
 
But I was not scared at all, coz back in college days I do skimboarding every weekend since the beach is just a step away from home sa probinsya! At na miss ko tuloy ang ala California girl lifestyle ko echos! By the way skimboarding or skimming is you glide across the water’s surface it’s similar to surfing but it takes place near the shore.
Seriously we had fun, we spent 4 hours on the Winch Park and we only stop when our muscles
 felt numb. Braso kung braso! Feeling ko braso de Mercedes na!
then lounge at the pool since no extra charge kc naging friendship bond namin yong
guy sa counter GL lang labanan echos! For those who wakeboard free of charge pero kung nag pa sweet ka lang and you want to use the pool P100 will be charge..at true di na nag bayad ang 2 friendship ko..di na siningil...thanks Kuya:)
Ayan walang kapaguran! swimming gow!
Then at 10:00 pm we bid goodbye to CamSur with an aching big smile with all  the
physical activities, we badly need a hot shower to ease those muscles pain and good sleep.
 
But truely with all the adrenaline rush. I discovered the excitement and exhiliration of wakeboarding!
So my next plan is to visit the Republ1c Wakepark @ Nuvali: Sta Rosa Laguna!
 
And my only advice if your going to try wakeboarding:

If you fall, let go of the rope or you will get into all sorts of funny (for spectators)
and uncomfortable (for yourself) positions :). wag ng mag paka bayani!
 
And we hit back the road heading back to Naga:)
 
Life is Good!

  14. I like that the Clubhouse menu appears to be on a wakeboard. :) I'm pretty ignorant about most sports-what is pulling you through the water?

  24. These dishes are so different from what I'm used to eating. It's funny to think about other cultures and realise so many people would find my habits strange. In Singapore, for instance, sometimes they eat fish with broth for breakfast, for me that's unimaginable.

    Looks like you had fun despite the misfortunes, I'm glad :)

  25. Waah! CamSur!!! nasa list ko din yan ng must see places ko dito sa Pinas :)

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C

Solo Travel: Why it's best while you're single?

In the decontextualized words of the Biebs “baby, you should go and love yourself” and nothing says loving yourself like going on a solo trip. With my total control and putting down all my fears behind and the value of the phrase “Go for it” I headed off on my first solo trip on the day of my birthday. I could tell you I decided to go away alone, because I wanted an adventure, I was about to burn out and needed a break and why Sagada? Not that I’m bruised ego or broken hearted or wanted to sing where do broken heart goes at the top of my lungs then shout out all my I’ll feelings at the Kiltepan peek. I know that it’s nice to have someone to cuddle with in Sagada’s cold temperature, one degree colder than Baguio, a walk town which is perfect for me ( love.. leisurely walk) . A close weather encounter to my dream destination. All I wanted is to be with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I want to commune with nature and be with myself again. #soulsearc
