Thanks to my good friend Praline of Glitterstop.com, I was able to start my beach craze this summer at an early time. Two days ago, she pinged me asking if I was game on going to the beach on the 1st day of the working week figuring that the beaches of Mactan will be less crowded by then.
my travelling feet, itching to touch the beach!
Without hesitation, I immediately said YES and at 8am this morning, they picked me up from my place and off we went to Portofino Resort in the island of Mactan, Cebu. Since we didn’t have access to a private transpo on this particular day, we just agreed we’d take a cab. Good thing it was enough to accommodate all of us – me, Pra, Val (pra’s hubby), Baby Vaughn (their almost 3-yr old son) and Dang (their yaya).
20 minutes after they picked me up from my place, we’ve reached our destination! Boy was I glad to see the beach! I took some photos here and there before I went for a swim…

This is what I like about Cebu. Just like how you experience the holidays to playa del ingles, it’s surrounded by beautiful beaches north and south. And if you don’t have all the time to travel to see the famous beaches within the province, you can simply head to Mactan Island. It’s just a few minutes drive from the city and experience something like what we did today, a day filled with beach lovin under a perfect summer weather.

even an army of ants prepare for their summer escapades & no they didn’t cut that tree. lol
blue sky + blue sea = fun filled summer outing at the beach!
Who can’t resist a spectacular beach like the one above? Definitely not me which is why I am sharing this to you to ignite those wanderlust nerves and let you plan your summer trip ASAP! Remember, you still got 57 days to fill and experience all sorts of summer adventures!
Confession: As I am writing this entry now, I’m still covered with saltwater. Just had to post this to show you what you are missing sitting at your office desk. Excited much? 
So what cool things have you done lately to welcome summer? Care to share them? ^_^

hahaha. fair lang sya kasi may Bicol, Zambales, Ilocos at marami pang pwdeng mapuntahan jan
sure ka chyng? mahal na yang rates na yan for me. LOL.
yung lahat ng mga comments mo dumideretso sa spam ko. di ko alam pano i fix
i agree with Chyng on this. while i just had a hectic day at work, you were in Mactan beaching! That’s awful for me! Reminded me to hit the beach real soon!
It’s ok Jerik, at least you got QC and MOA. LOL. This is really one of the things I love about Cebu, instant access to the beach! You can spend a couple of hours swimming and sun bathing to unwind then get back to work afterwards. lipat na sa Cebu!
Aga ng summer mo ah! Mine will start at the 16th! Can’t wait!
natiming lang na may nagyaya. accessible lang kasi ang beaches ng Mactan Island dito eh. mga 20 minutes or less, nasa beach na kami
