Waves R'Us

I overslept and woke up with a foul mood. I didn't feel like talking and Kenny wasn't too happy about that considering the fiasco from yesterday. We finally talked about a lot of misconceptions and after apologies were offered and accepted, we agreed to enjoy the rest of the day with Mariah and Tom. 

We called the Dive Shop to reserve waverunners for the afternoon. We each had our own to ride and it was a lot of fun! We were out there for half an hour but what a blast! I guess it was a good way to blow off steam and let some of the aggression out in a more constructive manner. For me, I just love the feeling of utter freedom in being able to soar above the waves and crashing back into them with much gusto. Thank goodness for the life jacket or I won't have that much courage since I can't swim. Kenny apparently got himself thrown out of his waverunner and was raving about it. He even lost his sunglasses in the process and didn't mind it at all.

We spent more time at the lagoon and explored some areas of the resort we haven't been to.  It's really a very spacious place and not so crowded or touristy. The environment feels a little contrived and artificial but the over-all impression is clean and safe. We revisited the Firing Range and the guys got to shoot different guns this time around. It was quite a novelty for them to be able to fire those guns as it will be more difficult to do so back in the states.

        

We decided to have dinner at the resort's Kilimanjaro Restaurant as we had a taste for familiar American cuisine. I guess we finally had a fill of native Filipino dishes by now. All three of them ordered steaks and I opted for lobster instead. I still like my seafood, I guess. It was a good meal and the company and conversation was mellow. You wouldn't know that the day started kinda shaky by the looks of things.  I sure hope there won't be any of those spats for the rest of our vacation.

We all agreed that we wanted a taste of the Cebu nightlife. A staff from the resort recommended a club called Vudo so we decided to scope it out. We found the club to be playing mostly  R & B music and the clientele of a younger set who were probably there to see and be seen. It's the kind of club where you don't see a lot of dancing but mostly people lounging around. A bit too standoffish for our taste and we never liked those type of clubs even in the states. We went to another area in Cebu where there were apparently some clubs with live music playing. The first one we got in played slow tunes and ballads which was okay but still too sedate for us. Somebody else directed us to a club nearby and we got lucky. The band that was playing then was pretty good. The energy was high and the type of music was more to our taste. Unfortunately, they were on their last set but they did whet our appetite for more. Thirty minutes later, another band performed and it was quite amazing how talented they were. Kenny, who never liked going to these type of events was admittedly impressed. This band played hip-hop and pop music but really made it sound better and new again. We were almost hesitant to leave and even made tentative plans on coming back tomorrow night. Over-all, I have to be honest and say that it was a good night but could have been better if we had more choices of places to go.
