Mexico Part 2 (Fairmont Mayakoba)

April 9, 2013

Day 2 - Serenity

This is what I woke up to. Sunlight - ah I haven't seen you in a while. One of the things I was excited for that morning aside from the sunlight and the beach was the food. Yep, who doesn't love breakfast buffets?

So I hurriedly went to the washroom to wash up and boo!

Gotta love the sunlight while taking a shower. This would definitely be my dream washroom..

skip.skip.skip.

The time I got a DSLR and broke my point and shoot, odd as it sounds but I stopped taking as much pictures. Now its a regret.

this doesn't look appetizing but that white bread (that resembles a pineapple bun) is absolutely amazing! My favorite part of every breakfast buffet is the omelette station! nom nom nom

We head back to our room and surprise! our room was cleaned and we got this lovely card with a painting of this bird, facts about it and weather forecasts for the next day...

OOTD picture time. Hi ya!

Did I ever tell you about the golf carts that roams around the resort? They are the means of transportation around. The beach is kinda far, and I never tried walking to there.

infinity pool by the beach

Its just sad that the sea isn't calm during my stay at Mexico. They put up these warning flags along the shore, it was always red (dangerous) while I was there. 

Since we cant really swim in the sea we decided to go back to the main pool (which was the biggest pool in the resort)  instead and ended up sleeping haha!

We woke up around 1pm? and decided to head out to 5th Avenue. People over the internet says this is a tourist trap. Its kinda like a flea market? streets are lined with shops, cafe's, art galleries, bars etc etc. I haven't done much research prior to the trip but we wanted to see where the people goes to... 

We also decided to have our late lunch / afternoon snack but the plenty restaurants and cafe around made it so hard to decide. I don't remember the name of the place we went to, for sure it was a Mexican restaurant.

The usual, wasn't able to take a pictures. heres one i grabbed from virtual tourist and trip advisor

We checked out the public beach over this side and was shocked about all the junks and cigarette butts in the sand. So we decided to go head back to the resort.

It was already starting to get dark by the time we were back at our resorts beach. It was just the two of us which was nice but kind of creepy too. there's a lot of this bat looking birds flying around haha.!

We tried using up the film of our underwater camera but the waves were so strong so I ended up scraping my knee on the rocks. 

My boyfriend was funny! this is a side of him that I haven't seen before. He was so worried and even called for a life guard for first aid. haha! It was already late so there's no one watching the shores. He went to the nearest restaurant and asked for first aid so they had to call and radio for the first aid. When the life guard arrived my boyfriend was telling him not to use any latex on me or I might get an allergic reaction. :)

   

CXVII : Tanned

I don't know why I chose to wear orange.. I have always looked weird in orange and or in green

Anyway maybe about three weeks ago Mom took us to the beach.. I also bought a new camera lens for I find it hard to take pictures with the 50mm that i originally have.. So yeah I have this huge bag for my DSLR and another one for my instant camera and another one for the tripod. Geez such a photographer wanna be. I was expecting to take a lot of pictures but but the beach / water look soooooooo empty..its just ugh water, seaweed, more seaweed

IDK I probably was just used to the beautiful white sanded beaches in the tropical island of the Philippines. But nonetheless I enjoyed looking at the big houses around~ One day I say...

While Jessica was setting up the tripod... a man came and since Jessica and her tripod was on the way the guy was waiting at the side... 

*moves stuffs*

Me : You can go ^^

Stranger : Thank you. Anyeong Haseyo

Me : *wondering if I heard it right* ????

Stranger : Youre Korean right? Anyeong Haseyo

Me : Oh sorry, Im not Korean but Anyeong Haseyo to you too~

And.. I always just gotta take a picture of a stranger or something~~

its a little blurry but that was a picture of someone trying to fly a kite..

   

XIII : Bagolatao

June 26, 2010

My Bicol vacation wouldnt be complete without going to Bagolatao hehehe
cool fact: Bagolatao means Floating Rocks.. see pictures above and youll see why :P

It was around 10am when we got there.. One thing I like about going here is that we get to enjoy the whole beach to ourselves and I get to wear my swimsuit and take loads of pictures hahaha. but this time I didnt took pictures while on my swimsuit ~ Im getting fat. thanks to that diet book LOL! weird huh it had the opposite effect and i grew a belly haha..

anyway see my cool grandma? hehehe *witweew

The sun was enjoying itself that day as well, it was so hot. I even got tan lines even though i swam only for an hour or so?
Well not really swam cause first of IDK how to swim LOL!

My aunt went around the beach and got us some coconuts. Yum~! I love fresh coconut juice, that when my aunt was taking a video while we were eating I burped real loud hahaha..

We also dropped by Hamoraon beach. not for a swim but to reminisce..
Not me though.. Thats for my aunties, uncle's.. they used to spend their summer vacations there..

I found the fishball vendor and everyone followed me hahaha..
