it's sunday, the day after my birthday. mom, big_sis, lil_bro and me went to noon mass, and then we hit the beach! (yay!) and it was great! the waves were extra big, i mean it's the first time i've encountered waves those big and hard-hitting... well, there's no comparison for siargao and hawaii (i guess) but for our place, those were WAVES...hehehe lil_bro and me went body-boarding and it was cool! the minus part is having to drink gallons of seawater from being thrown off the body-board and getting under the waves... here's a view of the beachfront.
and actually, there were several surfers (or wannabe/"as-if" surfers) present with real surf-boards... around 3 or 4 of them... the skim-boarders had to sit it out for once... the waves are not conducive to skimming, i guess... here's an obstructed view of the beachfront. i wanted to take a pic of the bodyboard but the leaves got in the way. i didn't notice, what with the treo650's screen being so shitty with sunlight all around...hmmfffp. 
and here is a sample of my sand graffitti. i wanted to show my friend Ross how the beach sand on our area is grey, compared to the beaches in Cebu (white... or just plain rocky..ehehe) frankly i don't dig the beaches in Cebu... either they're commercialized (like Maribago, Cebu Beach Club, etc.) or they're so rocky you can't take a decent swim without putting flipflops on. of course, Bantayan is the goddess of beaches! and mebbe Boracay is too, 'cept i haven't been there yet... soon!
