The Calaguas Trip – Second Day


We woke up late on the second day. I felt lazy because it is still raining. We had to send off our drivers to Paracale because I think they were not able to rest well during the night. I was worried because waves are big and the weather is not yet that fine but they insisted.

We spent a few hours walking along the shore of Mahabang Buhangin – that’s what they call that part of the island. It was already 8am when we finally came to our senses and prepared food for brunch.

Jenny, Belle, Jayson and Jimmy went for a walk earlier and arrived with banana leaves in the hope of having a boodle fight. We gladly welcomed the idea and had our first ever boodle fight.

The Unexpected Side Trip

Jenny mentioned that we can climb the mountain near our camp site to view the whole island. Mountain climbing is an activity we enjoy so much and you will not have to convince us twice.


Armed with slippers, short shorts, kikay bag and camera, we climbed the mountain with “ease.” It took us 30 minutes to climb the first mountain and to our surprise the cell phone signal was strong. We took the opportunity to greet our fathers and the fathers we know a happy fathers’ day. We descended the mountain after a quick banana break andheaded towards the town proper. We had a quick soda break to quench our thirst from the first climb. We need some energy and refreshment because we will climb another mountain going to the other side of Mahabang Buhangin. It took us almost an hour to finish the second mountain. We were greeted by the white sand and turquoise water upon reaching the shore.


The Games

After a sumptuous lunch (boodle fight style) we had another game. This is called “Pinakamahirap na Pinoy Henyo.” This is similar to the pinoy henyo game popularized by Eat Bulaga – only harder. Team Barney scored 3 first.

The next game is the “Longest Line with a Twist.” We had 5 representatives in each team and gave them 5 balloons each. They will blow the balloons within 3 minutes and form a long line out of it. Mai-Team won this game.

The last game is called “Time’s Up” This is composed of 4 rounds. Each team is required to have 4 representatives – 2 pairs. They’re given random titles of movies, TV shows, books etc. The first round is similar to the game “Taboo.” They will describe what is written on the paper but are forbidden to mention the exact words on it. On the second round, they are only allowed to mention one word (but not any word written on the paper) and act the remaining. On the third round they can only act the title. On the fourth round they can only pose for the title. Time limit for each participant is 30 seconds. Team Coolest won this game.


The Water


It was already past 5pm when the games were finished. We’re all excited to bathe in the beach.

The water was clear in turquoise view. The waves entertained us and kept us in the water for an hour or so. It was a refreshing experience.

The Evening Party

The guys did their part well. They took the initiat

ive to prepare the bonfire for the evening party. We were all overjoyed when the flame started to light up.



We taught the first timers to cook their mallows over the fire. They liked it and for all I know mallows are gone.

There were a lot of revelations during the evening party and unfortunately I cannot share it to the readers. J
