In addition, this was not just an ordinary event, as it also serves a way of helping out WWF-Philippines with their efforts in saving the environment. A large amount was raised, so congrats to my fellow bloggers and non-bloggers for coming in.

Special thanks to the San Juan Beach Resort and the Billabong Surf School for being the gracious hosts to the event. Men's Health cover dude and surfer Luke Landrigan was the main instructor to us during the surfing lessons. I personally want to thank my personal surf instructor Chad for being very patient and understanding.

So, how did I fare? Well, I found it a little difficult, especially since it was my first time and I was only able to surf successfully for a brief moment. Must be my weight and balance issues. I tried my best and I had lots of fun, even with the painful back, the sunburn, the soreness. It is a wonderful thing. I would like another crack at it someday, whenever that will come. Plus, the place is amazing. Very pristine.

Again, thanks to all who made it possible. It was well worth it.

Surfin' the Sago Way.

I am currently in San Juan, La Union for the Let's Go Sago Surfing extravaganza. The night is just beginning, but the fun never ends. Twas an experience all its own. Posts related to this will be written in the appropriate fora.

I know I am missing the Ateneo-La Salle game tomorrow, but I hope that the next round will be what I expect it to be.

Everybody should go surfin'

You got free time this weekend?

GO here. This will be fun. Guaranteed. Imagine some kind of dork doing the waves.

And yes, No Ateneo-La Salle inside the Big Dome for good ol' me. Life is not just about basketball. LOL.

Advanced birthday greeting to Sago!

The Sago Surfing Extravaganza

For further details of this event, click here.



Since our good friend Sago is turning 1, a surfing clinic will be conducted to all those interested. It would be perfect and enjoyable especially beginners who do not know how to do it.

It will be held on August 8-9, 2009 @ Urbitztondo Beach in La Union. Proceeds from the event will go to charity.

I do hope that you can help out or participate.
