new year at alunan avenue

(A repost from Rolly)


Ms Grace, her daughter, and the New Year crashers


KORONADAL CITY, SOUTH COTABATO—I never thought being “homeless” could be so cool. Royal, Rolly and I spent New Year ’s Eve loitering along Alunan Avenue, one of the busier streets here.
At about 11 pm, we dropped by Matchbox, a fast food stall just several meters away from the roundball. The place was no longer serving food, but Miss Grace, the affable owner, treated us to sumptuous servings of oyster valenciana, beef mushroom, and shrimp salad.
Before long, we were having slow rounds of Red Horse (still on the house!) as Bob Marley crooned “No woman, no cry” in the karaoke and splendid fireworks illuminated the night sky.
Greeting the New year couldn’t be this languorously fun.

I and Royal forcibly took 2/3 of Rolly's three-piece tribal bracelet

The New Hobby - Wakeboarding!

Last week, we went to the South, CWC (CamSur WaterSports Complex), CamSur for a short vacation that was extended for 2 more days because of the typhoon threat in the province. It was indeed the coolest weekend ever! I learned the art of wakeboarding in their cable park there. I was inspired and was able to practice some stunts and played wakeboarding with a jump start. Now, it will be my new hobby and sport. On that vacation, I realized that wake boarding was a good athletic exercise for abdomenal and body build up. I hope to do it often (with friends) as hobby. We also have witness the best Asians riders compete for the top rank in the 3rd stop of the Asian Wakepark Tour which is the 2nd Asian Wakepark Championship in CWC .
