Nestea Fit Camp Hot 2010 Boracay Day 5 - April 25, 2010

Our last day in Boracay and last day of Camp Hot. We left Boracay early though our flight is after lunch. After checking-in our bags, we took our lunch outside the airport. After several minutes our plane landed at Terminal 3 of NAIA, that was the end of our Nestea adventure in Boracay.

Imagine, we only paid 150 pesos for this kind of adventure??? One hundred fifty pesos for 6-weeks ultimate frisbee training at the Manila Leg of Nestea Fit Camp Hot, a night of partying at Encore for the Send-off Party and a five-day four-night stay in Boracay for the Nestea Fit Camp Hot Boracay Leg. Tell me, can you beat that???

Nestea Fit Camp Hot 2010 Boracay Day 4 - April 24, 2010

Our fourth day in Boracay is far from the past two days as the schedule is a bit relaxed so we decided to do island hopping and snorkeling. We went to Crystal Cove for picture taking and a bit of cave exploration, snorkeling at Crocodile Island (though we didn't enjoy it because of strong current) and swimming at Pucca Beach.

After island hopping and lunch, we went to Jonah's for another dose of fruit shake to quench our thirst (parang mountain dew! hehehe). Then we headed to our rooms to get ready for the Ultimate Summer Victory Party at Club Paraw.

Dinner was served early for us to get ready with the awarding ceremony and partying. They awarded first the winners of the different sports then the winners of the Nestea Fit Camp Hotties. Congrats to Jome and Sam!

The participants of the camp went wild as the Philippine All Stars started to groove which was followed by Parokya ni Edgar that made all the people even wilder!!!

After the victory party and since it's our last night in Boracay, we continue the celebration at Hey Jude! and used our 4,000 pesos gift certificate. Getting hot is really this COOL!!!

Nestea Fit Camp Hot 2010 Boracay Day 3 - April 23, 2010

The final day of the Nestea Fit Camp Hot Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. The Probies team finished 7th and 8th place but with the experience that we got from playing beach ultimate is really priceless! Playing against the country's top beach ultimate frisbee teams was a prize itself and learning from them is really inspiring. The top prize went to the Boracay Dragon A while Boracay Dragon B and Boracay Junkies finished 1st and 2nd runners-up, respectively. We were able to watch the celebrity games with Derek Ramsey and the Nestea Beach Hotties.

We had dinner at Boracay Mandarin Spa and Hotel. The ambiance is really relaxing with matching acoustic performance from their in-house band. Philippine All Stars also rendered a couple of songs as well as other Beach Hotties. The night is not complete without a doze of alcohol so we went to Hey Jude! for a mini awarding ceremonies for ultimate frisbee. We were surprised to hear that the two Probies teams got the Spirit Award (speaking of consistency!!!!)! We got Php 4,000 gift certificate from Hey Jude! Inuman na naman to!!!

Nestea Fit Camp Hot 2010 Boracay Day 2 - April 22, 2010

The first day of the Camp Hot Ultimate Frisbee Tournament! Team Beach Bum and Team Probies were up to a difficult task of playing against top beach ultimate frisbee players. We were demolished by more experienced opponents but it didn't stop us in enjoying the free beers and mixed drinks after the games courtesy of Mr. Jude, the owner of Hey Jude! Though a bit sober, we still had time going to Jonah's for their famous fruit shakes (their Avocado shake is the best!!!).

We had dinner (woooot!! sarap ng food!!!) and party at Summer Place! We saw Karylle and DJ Nina at the dinner-party as well as the world-renowed Philippine All-Stars.

Nestea Fit Camp Hot 2010 Boracay Day 1 - April 21, 2010

Time to go to Boracay! Left Manila around 12 o'clock in the afternoon (flight was delayed) and arrived in Boracay Island around 3pm. The trip was relatively smooth as we don't have to wait in a line since all the transfers were very well taken cared of by the camp organizers. We had a late lunch and then checked in at La Carmela de Boracay in Station 2.

The schedule is a bit light as we just have to attend the Welcome Dinner at La Carmela beach front and the team captain's meeting at Beach Bum. Team Probies was divided into two - Team Beach Bum (Pool A) and Team Probies (Pool B). We will be playing against the best beach ultimate frisbee teams not only in the Philippines but also in the world!!!

After the team captain's meeting, we went to Hey Jude! to chill and enjoy the Boracay atmosphere. The next 2 days will going to be a tough day for us, it's the start of the Nestea Fit Camp Hot Ultimate Frisbee Tournament!

Good Friday in Bulacan

After several years of not going to my hometown during Holy Week, we have decided to spend our Good Friday in Bulacan, Bulacan to watch the people doing "penitensya" and "pasan krus". When we arrived, we were told that we were already late since most of the "penitensya" and "pasan krus" are doing it before Good Friday. We were able to see few of them but we were lucky to see a reenactment of "Dakip" (Captured in English). This is a reenactment of Christ being held by the Romans and made Him carry a cross. The reenactment is a bit brutal since the Romans kick the one playing Jesus Christ and whip him while he is down. Usually, the one playing Jesus Christ would have a lot of bruises due to the numerous whips that he got from the Romans.
