Clearwater Beach 2

Clearwater Beach does not have one but two beaches. Located a few meters away from the main beach, this second one is much smaller but less crowded and quite.

The water is so clean and clear that you can just walk to this little island easily

Another attraction or maybe destraction here are the sight of planes close enough as the airport runway is just on the side




Ang sabi ko sa dalawang 'to kukunin ko silang model sakaling may sariling beach na ako sa Pinas...hehehh

At bilang pagwawakas ay ang pamatay kong back shot..heheh

Clearwater Beach

I finally have time for my blog! Nabusy lang ako sa pagresearch ng matirahang hotel sa New York for my vacation. After comparing prices and reading all customer reviews nakapili na rin ako sa wakas. I booked everything through online pati airline tickets, ang mahal kasi pag sa travel agency mas nakasave ako ng halos 100 dollars!

Ito na yung karugtong from my previous entry. Sinama lang ako ng kaibigan ko na pumunta dito kasi may beach party daw. In short gatecrasher lang ako..heheh! Sa daming pagkain parang pangfiesta na ang handaan. Kahit karamihan sa kanila ay mga Pinay na nagsipag-asawa na ng mga lokal pero pinoy na pinoy lahat ng pagkain at syempre lasang Pinoy.

This is the Clearwater Beach where locals claimed as the best kept secret in Bermuda. Located in St. David's parish and very close to the airport but the area is not accessible by public transportation kaya bihira lang ang mga turistang dumadayo dito.

The water is really clear and the bushes added some natural feel on this beach


Pwede na ba pang postcard?

Opposite is a view of the historical St. David's lighthouse

The water here is so quite because of this little island but the passerby's are just too distracting...hehh

Another Long Weekend

I'm still in hangover mood until now dahil sa tatlong araw na walang pasok. It's Queen's birthday last Monday at dahil British territory dito naambunan din kami ng grasya..heheh

Umatend ako ng Filipino party last Sunday in celebration of Philippine Independence Day. Opo, gaano man kami kalayo ay ginugunita(tama ba?)pa rin namin dito ang araw ng ating kalayaan. Yun nga lang June 15 na, yun lang kasi ang araw na karamihan sa mga Pinoy dito ay libre. Aside sa sangkatutak na Filipino foods at live band ang pinkahighlight sa event ay ang mga dancers in Maria Clara dress na sinasayaw ang ating mga folk dances sa Pinas. Sino ang mag-akala na may sasayaw dito ng tinikling, magtanim ay di biro at marami pang iba. I would like to congratulate the organizers for this very successful event.












Then Monday we went to the beach located on the other side of the island where i live kaya bihira lang ako makadaan dito. I took these photos from the car while on our way to the beach. I'll post some beach photos in my next post.

Destination: New York & Las Vegas

It's payback time! Alam nyo na muntik na akong mabuang sa sobrang stress sa trabaho nung mga nakaraang araw kaya i promise myself na kelangan ko ng bakasyon. Tama at may mahabang holiday dito sa isla ngayong July kaya i-todo ko na 'to kahit gasgas na bulsa ang kapalit.

Actually ito ang purpose ng pasurvey ko in my previous post. Sa dami kong gustong puntahan litong lito ako kung ano ang pipiliin hindi naman kasi pwede lahatin. Nagpaalam na ako sa boss ko na sa Huwebes at Biyernes na holiday kunin ko na ang buong lingo so i've got 8 days para magliwaliw.

And my final choice...New York and Las Vegas! New York is no doubt on top of my list and it's my dream to visit this city eversince. Kahit sobrang layo ng Vegas from New York which i think it takes 8 hours by plane ito pa rin ang pangalawa kong puntahan not because it's a sin city at magpakalulong na rin ako sa mga makasalanang bagay...hehehh but it's my chance to meet my long lost friend back in Dubai na ngayon Vegas resident na.

But here's the hard part...computing the EXPENSES. Pucha dolyares ito at pinipikit ko na lang mata ko everytime i convert it to Pesos. Wala akong problema sa accommodation sa Las Vegas dahil ang mumura lang pala ng mga hotels dun at ang gaganda pa. Beside my friend can always check if the hotel is OK or in good location. But in New York jusmio!!! I have searched all the cheapest hotel in New York na ata pero ang mamahal pa rin. Even hostels are much expensive compared to 3 star hotel in Vegas.

This makes me busy everytime i'm online. Ang mag search ng search ng murang hotel sa New York yung tipong matulugan lang besides i'll be spending most of my time outside. Kaya isang panawagan sa mga New Yorkers baka may mai-suggest kayong murang hotel or pwede na rin kahit hostel. I bet si sexy admin aka siksetary ni azrael ay isang New Yorker magparamdam ka ulit kelangan ko ang mga advises mo...hehhh

Bermuda bowling...Pinoy style

Isang malaking bowling tournament exclusive for Filipinos ang ginanap kahapon dito sa isla. Lahat welcome basta makabuo lang ng team(5 members each group) at may pambayad ng registration fee na 30.00 dollars. Sa dami ng naglabasang Pinoy na yung iba first time ko pang nakita pakiramdam ko parang nasa SM bowling center lang ako. I'm not really a bowling enthusiast pero sumali na rin ako marunong naman akong magbato ng bola eh.


The bowling center was closed to public for 3 hours just to give way this event.


And the action begin! Pinoy style talaga 'to dahil simula hanggang matapos wala kang marinig kundi hiyawan at tawanan. Indeed masayahin talaga tayong mga Pinoy. Sigawan at tawanan kung may naka i-strike at kung na-canal naman ang bola ay mas malakas pa ang tawanan. Eh karamihan canal so walang tigil sa katatawa. Isa pa ay yung walang tigil sa piktyur piktyur.







And it's time for the awarding. Huwag nyo na akong hanapin sa pic dito dahil kulelat ang team namin..heheh Ginawa nalang nila akong photographer.

Green team - Champion

Black team - 2nd place

Brown team - 3rd placer

Dream

This is in the opposite side of Hamilton harbour. Our office is located on the other side so i was just curious sa view na galing dito. Haven't been here eversince dahil ang layo ng iikutin pero kung by boat less than 5 minutes lang.

Looks like ang lalim ng iniisip ko dito but nope i was dreaming actually...that someday i'll have my own boat and just go sailing everytime i wanted to unwind...nahhh get real man!
