surfer boys

i had a nice time goin back to Baler and very memorable like the first time. We, Travel Factor has sponsored Surfari Baler's 1st Surf Competition --- awesome!


one hot long weekend. perfect waves. perfect breeze. one new crowd. booze and more.

1st Surf Competition for Baler and for me to join. i wasn't really sure what to expect. i was kinda nervous. heart pounding real hard. im not really your surfer girl. nweiz, so it started. we shared an umbrella with the Surfari team and host the show. it was fun having those guys again coz anything goes. dirty ice cream was free, which is the best.

then it became our turn. tide was up. rashguards on. one of the most nerve rockin 15mins of my life. got my lip injured but that's the surfer life. there were three of us (TEAM TF Riders): Reg Mamaril, Jherome Escueta and Don Manganar (we go by the cool green shirts :P) that conquered the waves yet only 2 of us prevailed... didn't make it to the advanced category, but who knows next tym :P

to my boys, Jherome and Don, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
yes, they were amazing that day. they were the hottest surfer dudes that day. (ehem ehem ehem!?!) they were on fire. i can see that the two were pretty happy and confident out in the water. the look in their faces makes me smile and proud. they did surprise me. i had fun taking pictures and cheering.

their winning comments were: "Sinuwerte lng kmi..."
and my looser comment was: "Sinuwerte lng sila..."

nweiz, guys remember those names.. who knows, you might get lucky (enough) and be able to surf with these boys. (wink*)

stoked and burned. stoked and burned.
