Places of My Year 2017

Baler - had our first surfing lesson in Sabang- a famous beach among beginners and pro surfers. The trip also offers amazing views of some lakes and dams in the north.

Cebu - it's been 5 years since I left this city that I also consider as one of my hometowns. It's cool to go back to somewhere familiar to see long-time friends and hear their never ending stories. How I find it fun commuting from Mactan airport to the metro just like the old times.

Tarlac - known as a city of many firsts, it wasn't our first time to travel to Tarlac. We got curious about KCT as it has been featured in different shows and we made it there.

Baler at Last!

Finally completed and pinned down all the provinces in the Region 3 after spending a weekend in Baler.

Baler for me is a hidden gem in Aurora. You wouldn't expect such a beautiful stretch of fine gray sand as you passed by the neighboring towns and mountains along the road. The laid back feel would surely want you to go back.

We had the best time of the year and the best weather to have for surfing when we arrived in Sabang beach according to our surf instructor. The waves in July are just perfect for any beginners. And need not to worry about finding a surf school as you'll easily spot them once you step in to the beach front.

To bend the right leg, foot a few inches against the left knee, elbows folded and palms beside the chest and then wait for the cue from the instructor to get up are the tips that every beginner should always remember. We were wiped up a few times but every wave ride was indeed worth it!
