Summer League 2010 - Final Day (May 29, 2010)

Final day of the Summer League proved to be an exciting one since this will be the day that the best team in each of the pool will be crowned as Champions. Though my team, The Disc Kulits, is already out of contention, we are still there to snatch a win to avoid finishing our first-ever league at the bottom of the standings. Though we won via default (what a way to win, right???), we still played against the combined line-up of Minerva, Tiyanaks and Monsters for a sort of tune-up match. It seems that all of us already relaxed so we lost the game, 11-5.

We stayed the whole afternoon to watch the semifinals and finals games in all the pools. In the Pool C championship, Space Grapes won over LU-One while Xavier 2 took the top prize in Pool B against DUO One. Sunken Pleasures defeated Sexual Chocolate to snatch the Pool A trophy.

Watching the games of the top teams was really inspiring! It encouraged me to continue improving my skills on the sport that previously I'm not really interested playing since I thought I can't run fast to catch the flying disc. I need to improve, but I will take it one day at a time... Magiging magaling din ako! :D

Shakey's V-League Season 7 1st Conference Finals Game 2 - May 25, 2010

Eventhough I'm not feeling well, my family and I went to watch the games. It's the first time that my mother will watch the volleyball games live coz she usually watches the delayed telecast on NBN 4. So my sister asked her to join us just to feel the intensity of watching the games live.

The first game of the day is the Bronze Medal match between the Ateneo Lady Eagles and Lyceum of the Philippines University Lady Pirates. The volleybelles from Katipunan dominated the match in 3 sets matching their 3rd place finish in UAAP.

The second match proved to the a thriller as the UST Tigresses and San Sebastian Lady Stags extended the game in 5 sets. The Lady Stags forced a do-or-die match against the Tigresses claiming Game 2 with a score in the 5th set of 15-13.

Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin Adventure Day 4 - May 9, 2010

On our last day, we went to Dahilayan Adventure Park in Bukidnon to try Asia's longest zipline at 840 meters. We're supposed to try it the previous day but since we finished late in the white water rafting, we rescheduled it in Day 4. We really enjoyed trying the zipline! It was indeed a thrilling experience!

After the zipline, we went straight to the airport for our trip back to Manila. Our 4-day adventure in Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin is really an adventure worth remembering! Looking forward to our next adventure!

Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin Adventure Day 3 - May 8, 2010

We scheduled our white water rafting adventure on our third day. We coordinated with the Great White Water Tour group for this activity. We were a bit late and there were already a lot of people waiting for us who will also be joining. The experience is really tiring but at the same time thrilling and enjoyable, thanks to our tour guides!

Though we were told that this will only take us 3 hours, we finished the 17 kilometer - 21 rapids white water rafting adventure in almost 5 hours! The photos were taken by the tour assistants. I didn't bring Niknok (the name of my D80 Camera) with me since he might get wet so we just used the Sony digital camera of Rom for this trip.

Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin Adventure Day 2 - May 7, 2010

Second day in Camiguin is scheduled for swimming at the White Island. The place is really gorgeous! Very nice white sand beach with very clear waters! Nice for photography enthusiasts.

After going to White Island, we started to get ready as we will go back to Cagayan de Oro already. We had our lunch at J&A Fishpen where we ordered lots and lots of seafood! The lunch that we had there is among the best! We left the restaurant with a full stomach and a big smile.

We checked-in at Wilshire Inn in CDO and then had our dinner at the Night Market.

Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin Adventure Day 1 - May 6, 2010

First day of the adventure and our itinerary is to go to Camiguin first. We were a bit delayed in our trip since there was a problem with the check-in baggage of Faye. Her bag was left in Manila so we had to coordinate with the Cebu Pacific people to facilitate the transfer. We arrived in Camiguin around 2 o'clock in the afternoon and after we checked-in at Paras Beach Resort, we proceeded with our day tour around the Camiguin Island with our tour guide, Kuya Roger, who also arranged our land transfers for 2 days.

First in the list is the Guiob Church Ruins in Catarman, Camiguin. This was built in the 16th century and was detroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vulcan in the 1800s. Next in the list is the Sunken Cemetery with a big cross to mark the site of where the old cemetery. The Sunken Cemetery now is one of the world's unique diving sites. We had to leave the place right away because of heavy rains. We then went to Katibawasan Falls, a 250-feet falls and one of the treasured tourist spots in Camiguin. The water is too cold so we decided not to swim there. The last in the itinerary is the Ardent Hot Spring. This is a four-tiered pool with the water flowing from Mt. Hibok Hibok.

We ended the day with a chillaxed drinking session at the Paras Beach Resort where we saw Caloy, Carmi's long time barkada.

PUA Summer League Day 1 - April 18, 2010

Joined our first ultimate frisbee league with some of ultimate friends from the Monday Beginner's Night in Meralco and named our team Disc Kulits (I suggested it! hehehe).

Day 1 proved to be a very tough one for us as we only scored 1 point from our two games, first is against Xavier 2 and the next one is against Space Grapes. Though we were winless, we are still positive that we can win at least one game. GO KULITS!!!

Shakey's V-League Season 7 1st Conference - April 11, 2010
