F-U-N at Maribago

F-U-N at Maribago Bluewater

Unlike any other rest day, I woke up exactly 6 in the morning to the sound of my mobile phone alarm. The alarm prompted me to get up, pack up, and get ready for a weekend under the sun. In an ordinary weekend I’m still buried deep in slumberland until around 10 in the morning. Well, last weekend was uniquely different – especially the Sunday weekend.

Moving back to the Saturday prior, it was a day when I had to rendezvous with some of the people I’ve come to love (despite their attitudes – LOL) to do something for someone. It took us almost 2 hours to complete that something (Behind the scenes rocks!). And as much as I would like to detail what we were doing I might get boo-ed by these –ahem- attitude problem friends. LOL. After completing that something for someone – We, I mean I, had to hurry up and get ready for a night of free Pinoy Band Concert at SM City Cebu courtesy of MTV Exit. Unfortunately the concert ended up early because of some technical issues while Sandwich was performing upstage. Bad, too bad.

Now, moving to the amazing Sunday with the Cebu Bloggers. After packing up my stuff for a day under the scorching sun I met Kai Veloso just right outside my crib’s gate. We took a cab to Jollibee, A.S. Fortuna and rendezvoused with the rest of the bloggers. Oh well, I was not supposed to be part of this group but because I had such an amazing convincing power I was able to move my Maribago Sunday weekend from November 15^th to November 8^th and finally to October 25. LOL. Thanks Sir Ruben for accommodating my request.

Let me enumerate the cast of the amazing Sunday weekend at Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort: Ethelbert, Bryan Karl, Mikyu, Kai, Agnes, Zyra, Blair, Mark, Iggy, and of course – yours truly.

It was, I guess, past 10 in the morning when we all arrived at Maribago Bluewaters and yes we were received with a warm welcome by the resort’s staff. We went directly to the beach front expecting to swim a clean and nice sea water but sadly it was low tide and seaweeds were all over the place. You see, in Maribago Bluewater the seawater is just an option. So, the bloggers that we are went ahead and decided to take a plunge in the Garden Wing Pool which was supposed to be only for stay-in guests. Eugene, the incredible Security Personnel went ahead and gave us a quick *ahem* interview before we could take our first plunge. It took us almost 30 minutes before we were given the green signal. You see, we were guests too! Only for a day though. LOL.

We all took the plunge except for Mikyu and Zyra because they were not unable to bring the appropriate swimming outfits. Pity. Peace guys! Anyway, the plunge was perfect and the sun was shining just right. Mikyu, who (again) unfortunately did not bring a proper outfit, had to be our official photographer and videographer. Zyra, on the other hand, had to watch us with envy and I’m sure the baby inside her tummy too! LOL.

It was half past eleven when we all dived in not on the pool but on the beach front lunch buffet. We were all starving…the food choices were perfect. We all agreed – their grilled foods were wonderful. We tried all of their grilled foods – Hotdogs, Blue Marlin, Pork Barbecue, Chicken Barbecue, Squid Barbecue, etc… I couldn’t name them all, really. LOL. We also tried their mix-yourself-halo-halo, which by the way I didn’t mix myself. Haha! I had help from their food crew (I forgot the name though).

After the hearty lunch we all went to beach and attempted to cross the seawater towards Alegrado Island. Unfortunately we weren’t allowed to cross because a BPO company exclusively rented the island. So, we resorted to taking wacky photos, head shots, and jump shots. Oh Noelle was there too…with her *ahem* friend.

We headed back to the pool for a plunge but I was too tired so I decided to just chill on the poolside. Oops…Iggy was tired too. This time Zyra was able to take a plunge into the pool, thanks to my extra board shorts! So, there were already 3 of us who turned out to be the photographers and videographers! – Mikyu, Iggy, and Beejing.

It was past 6 when we all headed back to the city. Though we were all tired we still had enough strength for a dinner at Matias in A.S. Fortuna. This time the cast were only: Beejing, Ethelbert, Mikyu, Bryan, Kai, and Iggy.

More Photos

YES…the bottom line here is: WE HAD F-U-N! Beat that!

Oops… here’s some video for you…
