Enjoying the Rest of Cagbalete Island

December 29, 2009

Island Life at Cagbalete

  ~~~oOo~~~

Peter and the girls were drinking until dawn the previous night. Naturally, I was the only one who woke up at dusk  to catch this beautiful sunrise. At times like this, I wish time would just stop so I can be at that very moment for as long as it takes. The sky was so majestic, the moon’s crescent was still smiling down on me and the horizon was displaying colorful hues of the waking sun.  It was so pretty.

 

Have I told you that Mr. Pansacola, the resort’s owner, let us transfer to a bigger hut since it was just us and another couple who was being accommodated at that time? Yup, he did! But we didn’t pay extra anymore. This hut was supposed to cost us Php3,000 per night. But we only paid Php1,500. Moreover, the dining area where we hung out was just outside this big hut. More convenient for us. Thanks, Mr. Pansacola! ^_^ 

 

Since breakfast wasn’t ready yet and there was nobody else awake at that time, I decided to spend some time with Paolo Coelho’s book, The Winner Stands Alone.

 

At around 8:00 am, people started waking up in time for our BIG BREAKFAST! Whoopbee!!! We had tuyo, eggs, beef steak, fried rice, bananas and coffee.

 

 By the time we finished eating, the water started subsiding… more sand appeared…the wind stopped whistling… the sea was so still and clear…

 Time to frolic for more camwhoring!!!!

A Sneak Peek: Cagbalete Island

  ~~~oOo~~~

Like I’ve mentioned before, we arrived at Cagbalete island in the afternoon. After enjoying our lunch, all that was left for us to do was to start enjoying the beach. That’s what we came here for after all. 

Aahhhh… c’est la vie avec mon amour!

Us girls immediately got busy taking tons of photos… camwhoring galore!

This photo here is what I call a “Baboo Win!” ^_^ We were trying to set Daena’s camera to get a photo of us three. We didn’t know that Peter was just there behind us all along. ^_^
