Kiteboarding – Making Waves in Boracay

noreply@blogger.com (apablico) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:47:00 +0000

Do you want to feel adrenaline pumping through your veins as you glide across the clear-blue ocean? Try kiteboarding.

Kiteboarding or kitesurfing is a thrilling watersport that makes use of the power of a kite and the wind in order to make a kiteboarder sail and propel through the water while riding a small surfboard. For this to happen, the wind must be strong and steady and must be harnessed through the kite properly. Boracay, with its northeastern monsoon is an ideal place for this type of watersport because of its steady winds that last up to weeks.

If you want to try kiteboarding or are already into the sport, head to Surfers Home Boracay – the home of kiteboarders in Boracay. The resort offers kiteboarding lessons for beginners, as well as other water activities for the more experienced kiteboarders. These include kite safaris and island hopping by kite.

Surfers Home Boracay is also an affordable yet comfortable resort to stay in when on the island. Choose from their seven bungalow cottages, each one of them fan-cooled and equipped with cable television, refrigerator, and a private toilet and shower with hot and cold water. The resort also provides Internet access for your use.

Surfers Home Boracay is a mere seven-minute walk to and from the famous White Beach. The resort also offers other activities such as jungle trekking, caving, and mountain biking. For all your dining needs, the resort houses Isla Bar and Restaurant, as well as a private barbecue area.

Founded in 1930, Wack Wack Golf & Country Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf ranges in the country.

Enjoy Davao’s Kadayawan Festival at Red Knight Gardens

noreply@blogger.com (apablico) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:19:00 +0000

Every August, the city of Davao is a sight to behold because of the annual Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival. It is a weeklong celebration of the Filipino tribal culture and way of life, as well as a thanksgiving for the abundance of nature’s gifts. The fact that the festival still continues is also a cause for celebration unto itself since it is proof that despite the modernization of the Filipino culture, the Filipinos still pay homage to the roots of their ancestry.

Spectators are treated to a parade of flowers and fruits, a colorful spectacle that is visually appealing and it is recommended that one brings a camera to take photos of the event. You also shouldn’t miss out on the Indak Indak sa Kadalanan, which is when the performers wear colorful costumes while dancing on the street. This tribal dancing is accompanied by upbeat, rhythmic music that makes you want to dance along with the performers. The festival also includes a trade fair, the Ms. Kadayawan beauty contest, and even more singing and dancing.

If you’re planning to join the celebration, the best place to stay is at the Red Knight Gardens. It is located ten minutes from the airport, so weary travelers who arrive by plane will be able to rest after their trip.
