When my beshy Markie Alforque went to Davao with her friend Mich last October 17, 2015, I volunteered to bring them to Samal to check out the beaches near our city. We had our lunch at Paradise Resort and enjoyed these awesome seafood dishes!




Markie's former teammate in a call center in Cebu who now lives in Samal, texted him about the other tourist destinations around the city. She said that we go to Hagimit Falls and Maxima Aqua Fun Resort. Honestly, that was really not part of my itinerary for the day, but Markie insisted to visit these places. So I guess ruining our itinerary wouldn't be bad after all, in fact that was the best decision ever! :)

Unfortunately, the water in Hagimit Falls was not clear due to continuous rainfall the day before. So instead of paying P20 for the entrance fee, we only paid P10 each.

On a fair weather, the waterfalls are so nice. The water is clear and sometimes it turns turquoise in color.

Going down or up on these stairs could be really exhausting. Promise! :)

Then we headed down to Maxima Aqua Fun Resort. It's a few blocks away from Hagimit Falls. We arrived at 4PM and we paid P250 for the entrance fee. The slide will close at 5PM so we hurriedly went downhill to change our clothes. It was really funny because since we only have a limited time to use their amenities, we never hesitated to slide the 40-meter water slide all the way down to a 120 feet deep blue sea. No more fear because there's no more time to be "pabebe". Hahaha!

No more fear! All set na! Laban! Hahaha!

Swooosh! Pigs can fly! Hahaha!

There are things in life that are #HardToGets. You want to get things you really like but you have to do something for it. You have to sacrifice anything for you to get it.

Like taking a good selfie with your dog.

Asking someone to take a photo of you at the beach.

Taking a photo on top of a mountain on a VERY windy day.

And getting fit and macho like this again. Witwew! :P

Even posting these photos online is  #HardToGets because your mobile internet is really slow.

SUMMER BERRY PANNA COTTA FRAPPUCCINO BLENDED BEVERAGE P180 / P190 / P200 Celebrating the sweetness of summer, Starbucks is also bringing back a favorite. The Summer Berry Panna Cotta combines Panna Cotta with different types of berries to create a beautifully layered Frappuccino® Blended Beverage and topped with whipped cream and a tart berry drizzle.

STARBUCKS RESERVE BURUNDI MURAMBI P595 This coffee was processed using double fermentation, which is a two part step. The first fermentation is wet and the second fermentation is dry. It yields greater flavors and depth in the cup. Complementary Flavors: Lemon, baking spices, butter pastries.

STARBUCKS RESERVE EL SALVADOR MONTECARLOS ESTATE P495 The Montecarlos Estate sits atop a volcano where the coffee plants grow all the way around the volcano allowing the estate to fully utilize all the well-draining soil types the location has to offer.

KATI KATI BLEND P425 Kati Kati, Swahili for “between”, is made from beans from East Africa which produce extraordinary summer coffees. Kenyan beans bring body and distinctive citrus flavors, while beans from Ethiopia soften the blend and add more complexity in flavor and aroma.  Available in select stores only.
