Fourth day of our trip in Mindanao and we
were enjoying every minute of it. Thanks to my brother and his wife for
an all expense paid trip! A visit on the second largest island in the
Philippines will not be complete without seeing a beach. One of the
famous beach spot in Davao is the Samal Island, home of one of the
reputable resort in the Philippines, where thousands of white-lipped
oysters (transported from the Sulu Sea), were cultivated for their pink,
white and gold pearls – The Pearl Farm Beach Resort.
Welcome to Bluejaz
We woke up at five in the morning so we
can get really early at the docking station. I heard we will need to
take a ferry or barge to get to the island. By 8am we arrived at BlueJaz
Resort where we will be accommodated at their Samal resort, the cars
were left at their mainland resort as they have their own docking
station to the Island, about 10 minutes from the mainland a bluish-green
water will welcome you.
The kids were pretty much excited already
that as soon as we got to our cottage they started changing to their
swimwear and my brother started putting on some sunscreen on his son,
Regu. The adults? Well we’re too hungry we had to eat first. lol.
My brother wanted to rent a jet ski but
we all know it costs a lot for just a half hour use. Good thing he has a
friend who owns some jet ski and he let my brother use one of his, my
brother was the one who paid for the gasoline for an all day use, it was
awesome!
So my brother was teasing me if I know
how to drive a jet ski. lol. It wasn’t my first time but it was a long
time ago since I drove one back in Subic. So I was somehow wary but
since I’m an observational learner I had to let them go on first for me
to re-learn everything. After four rounds I asked my Mum if she trusts
me enough to join me. I was surprised she did not decline! lol.
As soon as we put on the life vest and my
mom was the backrider she was all like reminding me not to be a
reckless driver like what she claims I do when in the street. I was
like getting irritated so I told her she can go down if she continue
doing what she’s doing, nagging!! lol. She shuts her mouth. lol.
We’re not allowed to ski around near the
shore I don’t know why but probably because we didn’t rent the jet ski
from the resort so we had to be outside the net which is almost like the
open sea already. It was drizzling and a bit windy so the wave was
averagely strong.
I can sense my Mother was a bit nervous
with the way she wrapped her arms around my waist. lol. So to piss her I
was like doing strong turn on any chances. lol. There was actually a
moment that I had a strong turn to my left that the wave almost ate us
and almost fell on the deep blue water. lol. I got scared not for my
life but for my mother, because I can definitely swim, I can take care
of myself. My mother knows how to swim too but I don’t know if she will
be brave enough too swim in a deep open sea. So I decided to slow down
and go back to the shore. Awwwwww.. lol.
Oh yes as we go back to the shore my Mom
was all like “I-told-you-so-to-be-careful” lol. Oh well I can’t blame
her, I was the one driving. lol. I bet I just gave her the ride of her
life! lol,
While the adults we’re busy trying the jet ski, I decided to just stay
at the beach and just play with the kids. It was a great time playing
with them. Especially my niece who was a bit moody and have decided to
not take a swim anymore. lol. She was just at the sand trying to bury me
and make a castle on top of me. lol.
The kids were able to experience the ride
as well with their fathers. It was fun seeing and hearing them
screaming out of excitement. lol. By four o’clock we started packing up.
I so don’t wanna leave the place yet because I felt they’re still so
much things to do at the resort. They got a huge pool somewhere at the
back with tons of slides! I bet that will be something so much fun to
do too!
We bid bye bye to the resort at quarter
past four and back at the car everyone was just exhausted. When I opened
my eyes we were already back in the city. It was a really fun fun fun
day for all of us.
Day 05 was like a rest day for us. lol.
We didn’t do much as it was more of preparation day before we go to
another place in Mindanao – North Cotabato where my Mom and brother was
born. Time to see the whole familia on Day 06!! lol.
