I grew up never enjoying summer vacation... because of the following reasons:
1. Our family don’t have a province to go to for vacation.
2. My mom was not a fan of resorts and beaches so we never had a single family getaway until i finally could afford to sponsor one myself for the family.!
3. Summer Vacation for me only meant killing time by reading my sweet valley high collections and other teeny bopper pocket books .
In short, summer for me was a boring two month off from school and a continuous battle against the scorching rays of the summer sun! No recollection of white beaches, grand resort (well, except for some simple outing sponsored by our classes), not even summer love! Pathetic meeh.
But come, 2004, I was able to go to Guimaras and for the first time I was awe-struck with its pristine view of the sea, the powder-like sand and the perfect sunset.
Then, I went to Puerto Galera, and from then on, I’ve become a fan of beaches and promised to visit at least one every year!
Subic became an accessible Subic getaway for me with friends and Rommel. Still, I could not bring my mom along at any beach until i got soo successful this year!

Family Outing
I had a very hard time scouting for resorts on line, and everytime i found a seemingly-perfect beach for my family (at an affordable price), I would be told that it’s fully booked!
Kabayan was perfect destination and suited for our small budget, but when i was about to book it, they did not even reply to texts and even calls! And after the hundredth try, finally a not-so-friendly-sounding woman answered and blatantly said, “we’re fully booked!”
Whoaa, i got a lil furious! I thought, resort personnels should be accommodating and friendly even if your establishment is “fully-booked!” i felt like, she wanted to say “ohh, we’re soo fully booked, don’t bother!” instead of saying “oh, we’re sorry ma’am, we’re fully booked but we have available rooms on the following dates.. “
Well, manners doesn’t come handy these days! Good thing, i caught in the search page Sigayan – a not so cozy beach resort but has well-mannered personnels! Plus, there was an available cottage, that has a kitchen, veranda, and 15 beds for only 5,500! So i grabbed the chance and for the first time, I was able to bring my mom to a beach resort with the rest of our family!
