Surf 5: Balerinas Year 2

Balerinas started year 2009. There were only the four of us, Ayeen, Jean, Charmy and I. Then came Marie on 2010. Now on our Second Year we have new additions to our berkeda! haha. Welcome Anna, Kris, Ayi, Jali, and Princess.

By 11am we were already in Baler. We had our room reservation at Bahia de Baler. Time for lunch. We ate at some karinderia near Mahdox surf shop.

In the afternoon we went around Baler. ITINERARY: Balete Tree, El Pimentel Falls, Dam. I've never been to El Pimentel falls yet. When I got there, I wasn't that amazed. The Mother falls was much better. I wanted my friends to see the beauty of the Mother falls. But then the locals informed me that there's already an entrance fee plus a guide's fee. Tsk what happened? Market strategy? tskk. I'm glad though they enjoyed the three places we visited.

Back to Sabang beach. SAD. Waves were small. Almost none. Managed to ride some though.

Every time I go to Baler with them, we meet different and interesting people. Dinner at Gerry's we met Daryll, the waiter. He was at the middle of getting our orders when suddenly he left and went back to the kitchen. We started fooling around when he came back!

Then there's Jake! Marie's surf instructor. Yiheeee! Another boy added to Teh' Mabaiy's collection. But I guess first love never dies.. June twelve pa rin ang tinitibok tibok ng puso.

Another interesting person was our room neighbor in Bahia. Creepy Manila guy who wanted to treat us and had their room breakfast delivered to us.

That night jamming with the locals. Special performances by JBR: Jingle Ball Rock, No Woman is an Island and of course Blue Island. Highschool days then came flashing back. After how many years I was able to hear again Anna and Ayeen's tandem-- JBR. We all can't stop laughing! Then there's Ayi's version of BURN. Nice cover! Lastly, who wouldn't fall in love with the Blue Island. Amazing local Baler band!

The next day, Surf's up. It was Anna, Kris, Princess and Ayi's first time to try surfing. Sooo happy that we all shared the same stoke at then end of the session.

It was our last night already. So we rented a videoke machine and set it up at Charlie Does! The perfect way to end the trip. Everyone happy.

I'm looking forward to surfing with you guys again and of course widen our circle. Cheers to Balerinas second year!
