December 28-30, 2013 Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte This is so far the farthest and the longest travel ever with my mom! It's a last minute decision and there's not much planning made so all flights to Laoag are booked. We went the long way and took a bus supposedly to Laoag, but since there were a lot of passengers, we had to take an 8-hour bus ride to Vigan instead. From Vigan, we took a 2-hour bus to Laoag. And then from Laoag, 3-hour rockstar bus with vegetables and chickens to PAGUDPUD! Whew finally made it! There's no time to waste so as soon as we got off the bus, we got a tricycle to take us to the North bound Pagudpud tour. Kabigan Falls P100-tour guide fee P10-entrance fee It's a 20-30min trek to the falls. The trail is easy. Very nice and majestic falls. Worth the trek and worth seeing. Kabigan Falls Patapat Viaduct It's just along the highway. A lot of tourists stop here to take photos because of the scenery. Agua Grande P25-entrance fee Pi...

It's been a month since my last surf! I miss the waves and the gang in Charlie Does and the rest. Medyo mapusyaw na ako! Hahahah eeee not me! My tan lines are almost gone. One more month. Whew last push. For now study study study. Board exam coming up, and oh I have my final exam in masters (almost forgot about it). Ahhhh keri. Sharing this video clip of the surf last July. Waves were small but still had fun. We went to Dianed, an hour away from Sabang beach (read my post  River Flat )..   tribu surf nah from rommel lubguban on Vimeo .

1972-2013 Edmond "Janggo" Mendoza. Kuya Janggo to most people. He's one of the classic surfers in Baler, Aurora. It's such a blessing to have known him and have had close encounters with him. I will never forget that one jamming night in my soul surf in 2011. He shared a story of how he's been pushing his kumpari to learn to surf and eventually changed his life for the better. It's really heart breaking to hear his death. Another Surf Legend who will forever stay in our hearts. Thank you Kuya Janggo for being one of my surf instructors. I remember we had a surf sesh at secret spot and he'd signal me when there's an incoming wave. I'd paddle hard for it and ride it successfully. He taught me how to wall and really perfected it with his guidance. Thank you Kuya Janggo for being so welcoming and extending your hospitality by offering your home every time I go there. I'll never forget you.  Surfing can change one's life for the better. ...

Aug 19, 2013 Quezon City Day Special non-working holiday for those working in Quezon City. Another long-weekend added to me but I'm not hyped at all cos really there's nothing to do but stay in. Sacrifice. Eyes on the prize mantra. Heavy rains from the night before until this morning brought by typhoon Maring, that classes were suspended and government offices as well. So technically almost everyone is one with Quezon City day.  Really hope this rain stops. I dread the Habagat and Ondoy experience. I don't want another episode of those.  Keep safe and dry!
