The following pictures were taken at the Moalboal, Cebu, a famous destination of the province where you'll see and discover a whole new beach experience and vibes. You'll get to enjoy walking on a long coastline of white sand beaches during night and day. Allure yourself on an enticing meal available on some cheap yet cozy resto-bars. And lastly, relax yourself together with your family or love ones on an affordable rooms and villas.

So just recently, last week of February, we went to this place specifically in Basdaku Beach. Together with my colleagues and workmates, we exhuasted ourselves for 2 days of jamming, swimming, eating and drinking. This is our first vacation of the year or whatever you can call - maybe a team-building?

The very first few hours of our first day were spent entirely in preparation of our food and our accomodations. And while everyone is so busy, I sneaked out for a while to get some photos of lovely flowers I saw along the way to the resort where we'll be staying.

We stayed in Anastacia Resort, an exclusive place in the area. A very secure property owned by one of my co-workmates and his family. Yes, you guessed it right, we stayed in here for FREE.

We have occupied the whole 2-storey building including the very spacious veranda elevaited above.

Aside from this concrete one that they have, they also offer a native setup villa for anyone, who wanted to feel the essence of staying in a primitive style or home. This one is perfect for group of friends (15 persons at most) or families. Don't worry about comfort rooms, they have that on every rooms they offer.

The Anastacia Resort didn't have the capability to serve food to its customers that is why we brought our own, enough to sustain the energy we need for two or more days. Nevertheless, there are a lot of stores nearby to cater the needs of all tourists, local and foreigners. An example is this cafe, surely they don't just offer beverages and drinks but also, food on top of plates.

After everything has settled down, I decided to take a walk along the Basdaku Beach. I wanted to feel the calmness of this place. I wanted to have that dose of freedom away from any thoughts about my job or my personal problems. Indeed, it was a delightful taste of heat tingling into my skin.

Aside from stores of basic necessities available in the area, there are also small stores for souvenirs. These are being installed by the locals residing near the Basadaku Beach. They sell figures of whalesharks, sea turtles, and fishes engraved with fancy words, necklaces and wrist bands made of beads.

Finally, some beach experience!

After that heavy lunch I have taken, I went straightaway to the beach without minding the excruciating heat of the sun. It was around 2 PM where the sun's level of heat is significantly at most. I sat down, took my phone and took some photos with it.

Far from my spot, is a sexy woman enjoying the hot afternoon scenery with a toast of breezy seawater.

Few minutes later, the team decided to gather together and dive in to the water. And by that time, I stopped taking photos and joined their companion.

And the rest of the day continues.
