La Union Surf Break & Octoberfest!
Sun, Waves and Surfing
I enjoyed playing with big waves and camwhoring using reg's underwater camera! cool! :D I can tell that even baby ysa in her mini PFD's enjoyed the waves with her mommy marmi. :) we jumped and face sidewards to battle with humongous waves! weeeeee! :) but alas, jherome got stung with a jellyfish so we called the medics and accompanied him till he got his injection. fortunately the sting is just itsy bitsy that he was still able to surf! :)
And now..my turn to surf! weeeeee!
First things first, surfing 101 with my surfing instructor. He taught me the proper surfing position and shared some techniques on how i can ride the surfboard smoothly. After 5 minutes, i put on the leash of the surfboard and off we go to the water! so this is it! i hafta face my fears! woooo! yea, i was scared at first coz i dunno how to swim and afraid to be washed out by those big waves! i'm scared but wasn't hesitant to try surfing coz swimming is not a requirement though & yet the instructor is there to assist you for sure. When i was atop the surfboard the first wave coming towards me was huge so i gripped the surfboard tightly but then i was lying close to the board that it hits my chin and my chest! waaaah that hurts! but the fear is greater than the pain so off i go upstream, crashing against several huge and not so huge waves. and finally, the small wave is coming! the instructor gave me the cue to ride the wave so i got up the surfboard but whoa i fell! i tried getting up the board several times. i slipped off and fell! waahaa! kakapagod but i enjoyed it! sobra! :D
La Union Octoberfest
Aaah octoberfest..the usual band music, conversation, booze and camwhoring...except that we're sitting on the sand. :) some were dancing, singing with the band, sitting by the shore, watching the huge waves and enjoying the company of friends. I can tell everybody's enjoying! I didn't gt a booze for some reason but I did enjoy Octoberfest in La Union! :)
Side Trip to Villasis and Isdaan
We went to Villasis for our first stop. Been there before, during our trip to Manaog so i know what to excpect. :) Anyway i just bought 'tupig' :) Second stop is Isdaan, a floating restaurant somewhere in Tarlac. A great ambiance to eat and chillax. We look around the place and took some pictures :) You could also visit the 'Taksiyapo' wall to release your anger. Taksiyapo sa taksil! magnanakaw! tsismosa!!! Throw off the mugs, plates and TV you want but you've gotta pay for it! hehe! they are not for free! :) Our group throw off a mug (the least expensive hehe) on taksiyapo wall. sabay sabay kami hehe. but i can tell that nobody's bitter! everyone throws the mug with smile on their faces! hehehe well, that's better than being bitter! :)
I did enjoy this trip! how i wish my bebe was there too. He's gonna enjoy the trip for sure! I know he did enjoy his trip to Chicago Botanical Garden that same day as well. Twas a beautiful weeked for both of us! :)
Thanks to my La Union trip buddies jhe, marmi, ysa, roy, dominic, reg, jherome, aiz, carlos, michelle and natz for making my first surfing experience a memorable one! ;) Till our next surfing! :D
