SummerFrolic 2015: Feast on Waves

The long wait is over! Whoosh - but let me tell you the bad news... this is going to be a very long post because duhhh, #SummerFrolic2015. Don't fight with me on this! Ok ok, let me start with greeting you all a very merry summer 2015! Yup, in the Philippines and other Asian countries (and even other parts of the world), it's already burning hot that's why people are flocking to different islands and beaches nearby. Good thing we live in a tropical country ;) If you have been my reader from the very beginning, you would know that SummerFrolic has been a huge part of my life. It's because a.) it's held in my most favorite city which is Mati City, Davao Oriental - 3 hour drive away from Davao City; b.) it's organized by FrolicFox Productions (thank you btw for the awesome lineup and set up!); and c.) I was still with the same squad as last year! Things that I'm excited about summer is that I get to hangout with my friends and family, go to beaches, stay up late, drink cold, iced beer... make s'mores and stuff like that. Plus, you always get to meet new friends which is nice. Enjoy the long post! 

I Lived

It's the most wonderful time of the year - and I'm talking about Summer! Yes, few of you know my favorite part about living in the Philippines is that you get to experience tropical season longer than any countries and like, hello we own 7, 107 islands here! Can you imagine going in and out to different beaches and islands. So to make the long story short, I'm beyond thankful to experience such beauty! And so, here we go again to #SummerFrolic2015 and I am so excited for my Year 2! Do you want to escape from the reality even just for 2... 3 days? Well, you come to right place. Mati is seriously a great escape and it's not that far from Davao! Curious about what's the fuzz about SummerFrolic? Read my last year's experience here.

#SummerFrolic2014

My friends and I had the BEST weekend so far! Sorry for the delay on posting this one, it's just I am not yet ready to finally put an end on the feast. It's so much fun especially with the best company I have during the weekend. And for the record, I met a lot of new people too which excites me more! Going back to the post, last April 4-5, #SummerFrolic was held at one of the best beaches in the country, Dahican which is located in Mati City, Davao Oriental -- 2-3 hour drive from Davao City (if you take a car or van) and 5 hours if you take the bus. I kinda, somehow toured my friends since it was both their first time! Around 10 in the morning, we arrived in the town. We went to La-Ne's Kan-anan to get our wristbands for the party. At first, we bought GA tickets when we were still in Davao, but the moment we arrived in the ticket area, we decided to upgraded our tickets to VIP since there were a lot of freebies and cool stuff to be given during the 2-night party! It was so hot that we were so confident going around the city even without a sunscreen! Either way, being back at the place you always wanted to be is such a relief! Mati will always be my favorite city no matter what. To make the long story short, here are some of my 2k++ photos from my camera roll from our 3-day escapade in Mati! Enjoy ;)

Earth Hour X Spectra

Davao will always be the place to be. Why? For a lot of reasons. And by A LOT, I mean, unending speech. Hi readers/bloggers! Tonight, I just reached to 21k viewers on this Travel/Photography & Lifestyle blog, which I am so proud about! Thank you so much, it means a lot to me.

To begin with, last Saturday, March 29, 2014 at SM Lanang Premier - Fountain Court, a neon-glow party was held by which of course made by the one and only ManicNightnings Productions who was also the creator of the biggest party in Davao -- Carte Blanche 2013, Reverie, Liberalia and the recent party, Spectra 2014 ... and so much more! In celebration of Earth Hour 2014, at 8:30PM, people gathered to celebrate, participate and dance to the beat of the drums as we switched off all our lights/gadgets/etcetera for full one hour. In relation to the event, Manic came up with an idea to why not double the fun? PLUS, IT WAS FOR FREE! Can you imagine it --- FREE FOR EVERYONE TO JOIN THE WICKED PARTY! Everyone loves that, who doesn't? Though it was pouring hard all over Metro Davao, it didn't stopped us to party and enjoy the night full of colors! 

Summer 2014 Festivals

The countdown to Summer and heat has officially started few weeks ago. But before I want to introduce you to my blog post today, I just wanna congratulate all the newly graduates! *Dancing and clapping*. I know what you're thinking, you need to getaway from hustle and bustle of the city PLUS a reward to yourself for accomplishing the semester and to finally step forward to the future. Here's what I got for you! The very first Summerfrolic: Feast on Waves and the very first Electronic Music Festival of Colours that will be happening this coming April. What excites me more is ... *drum roll please* SarBay Fest 2014! The town of Sarangani brings back the biggest beach festival in Mindanao this coming May. The fun and excitement continues this Summer!

If you'd ask me what would be the most unforgettable moment that happened to me before this year ends was #Sembreak2013 in Mati City, Davao Oriental which was held last October 25-26th! Since it was a 2-day party, there were tons of people who joined and enjoyed the madness including myself and my friends who was also there to witness. Watch the After Movie Video here: #Sembreak2013 

Plus, Mati will always be the place where magic happens. Perfect beach, sun, sand, place, party and people. 

#Sembreak2013

It has been forever since the last time I posted an entry! Oh how I miss blogging! *cries*. I have been so busy with stuffs that's why and since today is already November and there are few more weeks before December, let me fill you up on what I've been up to! Last October 25th-27th, my friends and I went to another epic party in Mati City, Davao Oriental for the #Sembreak2013! And the crowd didn't disappoint us for being so wild and fun! It was waaaay better than last year. It's all over Instagram too! Just search for the key word #Sembreak2013. To make the story short, here are some cray photos we took before and after! 

Party Poppers

As we all know, we are only left with 3 months 'til we say goodbye to the year 2013! How time flies too fast, and it's too odd if we aren't even gonna make use of this year. What I got right here to share with you are the two parties --- Hence, 2 PARTIES! The Sembreak 2013 and The Carte Blanche 2013! If you happen to follow me in any of my accounts (i.e., Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) you will know what am talking about. I've been posting their official posters on my accounts too! As far as I know, there are a lot of people who are interested about it. Who doesn't? Apart from the fact that these two parties will be on October and November, I have to post this on my blog for you to think about it and save up your allowance for this surely be remembered event! Well, don't get your hopes down since the official Carte Blanche team is giving away tickets!

FOURTH DAY:

Woke up did not know we'll be leaving Mati City by the afternoon.

It was a Sunny, great weather to spend time on the beach. It was early in the morning that we have to prepare because we are going to Masao. Supposedly, we'll be going home on the 30th but due to the schedule conflict, we had to leave so soon. We didn't expect it though. But despite from the unexpected plan, we DID enjoyed our day in Masao. We also went to Dahican for the last time to swim there, we stayed there for only 30 minutes.

Calm and High

Third day in Mati City: Overwhelmed

We woke up so late on that day that we can't

even remember what happened last night. Barely

remembered anything, it was insane! 

So we gotta hurry up 'coz we're going to the beach

to buy slippers and swim. By the afternoon,

we went back to Dahican Surf Resort because

Ate Neesha want to experience the waves in

Dahican! It was a quick swim though.

Surf Party in Dahican

OCTOBER 27

When the Sun has finally set, everyone's preparing

for the party, even us! We went home to have dinner,

and clean ourselves. 

So before you can go in, you have to buy a ticket.

For Girls, the ticket costs for only 150 pesos and 

for the Boys, 200 pesos. 

Both with Free 2 Drinks and 1 Hour Free Surf Lesson

in Amihan sa Dahican just beside Dahican Surf Resort 

Dahican was full packed of people from Morning to Dawn!

The crowd is somewhat insane, but fun! There are a lot of

surfers and travelers all over Mati City. 

It was a crazy party after all. Enjoy some of the photos!

I really wanna post everything in here but sadly, some pictures

are prohibited. Hahaha! Here's a couple of

night shots.
