August 25-28, 2012 Sons and Daughters of a Beach S3E13 Borongan, Eastern Samar Surf 10: The Endless Samar Surf Done with the PreSamar preparations. Now we're bound to Samar! Our flight to Tacloban was at 3:10pm. It was a smooth flight and we arrived Tacloban ahead schedule. Our pilot must have been excited for us too! We had to wait for Johanne, Biggel, Cathy, and Chino cos their flight was 2 hours later than ours. Oh wait, Chino was left behind, hahaha but yes caught up with us the next day. When we were all complete, our travel continued. From Tacloban, we had a 4-hour land trip to Eastern Samar. It was a long tiring ride! Highlight: We passed by the San Juanico bridge! Too bad though we didn't have a photo. We'll surely go back to witness this bridge with the sun shining so brightly. Around 1am we finally reach Pebbles and Tides or is it really Peebles and Tides?? hahaa anlabo lang.We had two cottages and to my surprise, both had aircon! Yeah didn't expect ...

Endless Samar Surf finally tomorrow August 28, 2012. We've booked this trip since March 15, 2012 and now it's really happening! It's our first time to try out the surf in Samar. This is so exciting! Since it’s our first time, we don’t know anything about the area, and we don’t know anyone from there.   Well I have one friend from Tacloban. Her name is Cha Nicart, my dragonboat team mate. She told me she has friends from Borongan and offered to book a van for us. I’ve done a lot of research. There are a lot of surf spots in Samar, I can’t recall anymore how I came across Borongan or was it Nikir who mentioned it to me. So anyway we’re going to this place. I came across an article from rappler.com entitled, EasternSamar: Surfing’s last frontier . Of course I got all hyped up reading! There was Carlos Aga’s contact details at the end of the article. He’s a representative from Borongan’s tourism office. I texted him and inquired about lodging, transportation, surfin...

Aug  18-21, 2012 Ok so it's a long weekend. Everyone has their own plans out of town while I'm stuck here in sad Manila. It breaks my heart that I didn't go to Baler. A lot of my friends are there as well. Hmmmph. Ok I'm letting this pass. Looking forward to the next long weekend! Endless Samar Surf session!

How much of the Philippines have I seen? Not much! I have to visit and explore the Philippines first before I go overseas. Have to target at least one province every two months. Not bad. Let's go! I'm so proud of our country. We have a lot to boast! Ok so here's a nice tool I found where you can plot places you've visited in the Philippines. My Lakbayan grade is C-!

Two weeks ago I sent my Resume . I wasn't expecting I'll get considered I just sent it hoping I'll get a reply. A week later I got an email asking me to answer some questions. I sent my answers two days ago. This afternoon I checked my mail and surprise, another email from them. They have additional questions and then informed to expect a call by next week. Wow I really have a chance here. I'm praying I get an interview. Do I really have a chance? I hope so. I like the fact that I will be in the working environment that I always wanted. There are reservations though. Am I ready to be away from my comfort zone, away from my mom, my friends, my home, my home town? Honestly, NO. I'm at the 50-50 stage. Half of me likes the job because it's what I want to do and the fact that the office environment is not the usual one. Half of me feels I'm afraid to be away from my loved ones and the fact that I won't be able to go home to Baler as often. But I got a ni...
