Went to Royal Duty Free to get a couple of stuff (again). Junk food and drinks.

At Harbor Point Mall to (still) get a couple of stuff. Jane Chuck went in to buy some clothing, too. Seems like this morning was well spent on shopping. Hehehe!

On our way to the beach.
Playing with Pong’s Fuji Instax Mini 8 on the way! FUN!

Got a cottage at Camayan Beach. Our new Malaysian buddies will be hitting the water in a bit. Right now they’re enjoying their first encounter with SISIG!
Pong is egging Ernest to eat some more. He seems to really enjoy sisig! Yum!!!

A few of us chit-chatting inside the beach cottage after a few rounds of beer and sisig.

More happy photos! Whee!
Me and Yen with Justin, Jane Chuck, Ernest, and Dev. Good times!

Woohoo! Ice cream! But wait… it’s not the usual vanilla ice cream. Its got a pinch of bourbon for a little kick!
Just the way Ernest likes it! Hahaha! Cheers!
3:35PM
Pong, Ernest, Justin & Dev hit the beach to shake off the alcohol in their system. I was planning to take a photo of just the four of them but look who decided to join the fun (but not in the water) – the wifey!
4:07PM
Things are kinda slowing down. Guys are winding down their fun in the water. Getting ready for early dinner in a bit.
4:32PM
The “beach boys” have hit the shower. Excited for dinner. Heard it was gonna be steak. STEAK!!! I’m soooo looking forward to it!
4:54PM
More selfies before leaving the beach! Haha!
This time around, Ernest and Jane do joint selfies. Click!

The monkeys have come out to play… and find food!
6:38PM
Dinner at Meat Plus Cafe! Everyone’s looking forward to this. STEAK STEAK STEAK! Pong and I are having a hard time picking which big slab of meat to get inside the freezer.
7:02PM
Alas! The time has come. Glorious steak!
I like mine cooked “medium”. How about you?
8:16PM
Aaaaaand it’s a wrap! As they say… all good things must come to an end. Awwww…
The time has come to part ways and head back home… But not without having a final selfie “groupie” picture to remember one another by!
