According to surf babe Tikoy, one evidence of global warming is that surfing season in the Philippines has now started, when it used to be only during the -Ber months. But what is bad for the rest of the world is turning out to be good for me and other thrill-seekers. We’re all definitely in the mood for surfing!

My next surfing destinations are Baler, Bagasbas, Virac, and yes, even Siargao, famous for its 9-foot waves. Even though the thought of surfing in Siargao somewhat terrifies me, I would still love to go there. Some Aussie surfers say that the Siargao surf is even better than the surf Down Under. So I definitely wouldn’t want to miss experiencing it!

I’m saying goodbye for now, but I just have to write about one realization: I am now tan and extremely surprised that I’m actually loving my new skin color!

Till the next wave, dudes and dudettes! :D

I learned recently that a cable park as big as the one at the Cam Sur Watersports Complex will open in Clark, Pampanga in September. Yippee! That’ll make wakeboarding more convenient for me. Clark is much more accessible than Bicol, though I wouldn’t mind going back to Cam Sur at all.
