July 19, 2009
Lago de Oro, Calatagan, Batangas
Activities: Wakeboarding on the lake, frolicking in the South China Sea, and (of course, of course, of course!) camwhoring
Participants: The thrill-seekers (yet again), Russ and Jen

Shhh. I'm daydreaming.

Shhh. I'm daydreaming.

I was scheduled to go to Calaguas island on July 18-19. But due to the effing rain, I decided to forgo the trip. I signed up with TF to surf in La Union instead. But again, because of the effing rain, everyone was against me going. So I decided I’d rather be safe than sorry and had to forgo that trip, too. The sun came out on Saturday, though. Yours truly, longing for some adrenaline rush, convinced Jen to go wakeboarding on Sunday…

…And so off to Batangas, Jen and I went!

But going back to Calatagan meant going back to basics for me. I’m out of practice, and I really should head back to the Cam Sur Watersports Complex soon.

We'll take you here!
She’ll take you there!

On surfing vs. wakeboarding:  Surfing is more fun, with the sport being done amidst the beauty of either the sea or the ocean. But wakeboarding is more challenging, giving me more of an adrenaline rush.

After two hours of wakeboarding, we headed to the beach, all sore and ready to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the vast backyard of the resort, the  South China Sea.
