JAiRA n friends

Jaira and her officemates are all good friends.  They work in one department as researchers and decided to take a holiday at Isla Verde and stayed with us at the resort.  Jem, jheng, Justin, Jaime, Angel, Tristan, Joseph and Ja are a bunch of good looking young girls and boys who  in our language belong to coñotic group.

They arrived before noontime and I asked Wangyu and Santo, my workers here, to pick them up from Sawang by boat, as it was too hot for them to walk all the way to our resort.  When they arrived, they rested for  a while and had their lunch in our Tess Cafe.

After they finished their lunch they decided to relax and and the boys took a bottle of brandy, ALFONSO,  and started to drink in the swing facing the sea.  After a few minutes, the girls joined them and they shared some laughter while taking turns telling their own stories.

Before sunset they swam and snorkelled with their cam.  And when the sun began to set they took the opportunity to get some photos of a sunset across the water.

Before it was fully night time they took baths and when they were refreshed they started to grill the meat I marinated for them.  When they were done with their grilling, they asked for a banana leaf and set their dinner on the stone chairs under the mango tree.


I suggested they could spread the rice in the center of the leaf so they can have space for each of them for eating as they planned to eat with their hands.

At 7pm, they had a bonfire,  and continued to enjoy drinks from their bottles of brandy.  They hade some marsmallow, so they enjoyed that with their barbecue too.  They finished their drinks by the bonfire about 4am.

Next day after breakfast, they went to Sawang to swim and do snorkelling.  They loved the sea there as it was calm and water was so clear.

When afternoon came they were able to watch the basketball tournament in our baranggay.

They left late in the afternoon, yelling from the boat when they passed in our resort, as we were waving to them.

I know they will come back again to try our famous fish, BALAKWAS.
