I was looking back at some of my entries, and I noticed that the Bicol entry was unusually short. Grrr.... It turns out one entire paragraph was cut out, the part explaining the "stronger" and the picture. (hehe. the picture must have looked weird alone without an explanation. ^^)

To continue...

The second part of our Bicol trip consisted of a trip to Naga, a part of Bicol 2 hours away from my relatives' house in Legaspi. We had to drive to the place, and since we drove back from Sorsogon that morning (where the Whalesharks were) and the drive to Naga was in the afternoon, my aunt was so tired, she let me drive half of the way. Driving in the province is definitely different from City driving. Too bad my speedometer was busted and I couldn't tell what speed I was driving at, or I'd brag about it here. Hehe... Kidding. ;) Anyway, what did we do there? Upon getting to Naga, we went to a place called CWC (and I already forgot what it stands for, sorry. ^^) where we got to try wakeboarding. Imagine, WAKEBOARDING! For those of you who don't know, wakeboarding is (this is a personal definition, so nobody shoot me) a watersport where you step on a board and hold onto a cable that a motorboat drags around. Cool ne? Except in this place, the cable is attached to a motorized rig that goes around the body of water, so it probably isn't as hard, freaky or dangerous as the motorboat version. And I only got to try the knee board, cause beginners apparently can't start out with the standing ones. ^^

And it was fun. Although heaven knows that you need all the arm's strength in the world to complete the entire round over and over again. (cause you're being pulled around by a string you have to grab hold of right?) More than once I washed out because I lost hold of the cable (all my companions did, in fact). By the end of the hour, my arms were trembling. T_T I sincerely wished that I had still been doing weights while hanging on to the cables. (The picture in the "Back with a Vengeance! XD" entry is me about to wash out. :p

And to add icing on the whole thing, for a water sport, it's really quite cheap! Yay! (Would I stomach anything else? XD) It costs about 160 per hour, all the equipment (board, helmet, lifevest,etc) included, plus a lecture to teach you what to do. :D

And the food there is great too. XD XD You guys should go try it sometime. XD
