About the weekend and that house by the beach.
My friend Grace invited me to spend the weekend at their beach house in far away south of Cebu – Ginatlian. I expected to stay for a night but one night wasn’t enough. It was a lazy, relaxing, friendship filled weekend. Quite a different beach experience! There were no posh cafes nearby. We bought vegetables and meat from the market and cooked our meals. Fish there is abundant too. There were no noisy bars around. It was just the vast ocean, the soft cold wind, the cotton candy clouds, and the great company I was with. It was an endless talking and laughing marathon.
If you know me very well, I truly enjoy the outdoors more than a trip to the mall for a shopping spree. Nature has had a way of working perfectly with me to create and think of incredible things. You can rent the whole house for a perfect barkada or family getaway, explore Inambakan falls and visit Aguinid waterfalls in Samboan. When I was there, there were baby waves. If only I had a surf board to play with. Snorkelling and kite surfing would be great there too.

My favorite spot is under this tree.
The house is still undergoing renovation, but it is already open for guests. It has two rooms on the ground floor and two rooms upstairs.
Baby swells! I wish I had a surf board.
Pebbles/stones instead of sand for a change.
That patch of water there is fresh water from Inambakan falls. How cool is that?
Sunset there is pretty.
My Fin had a blast and so did I.
