a taste of history

can't really wrap my head around not being in this event....check out the first Philippine Kiteboarding Nationals in coop with KTA - Kiteboard Tour Asia. KTA Vigan/Ilocos Sur.
Vigan shows us what Philippine culture is really like, very much influenced by the Spanish as you can see from the well preserved streets in the historical square.


it brings you back into time on how it was like to be in a place that was colonized for 300years

One of those spots that will be in my heart forever! Glad to be one of the first riders in this beach with Dalan Michael Singson, Jonathan Oscarsson, Sebastian Forsell and AntonLilljegren.com.see you next season vigan!Hope we get some girls riding next year, so we can have a women's category. ♥


 ♥I LOVE VIGAN!!! ♥

rounds up

ok i've been back in the philly islands for 3 weeks i guess?

i am doing my rounds right now

visited some friends in manila,

went out to b-side and of course TIMEZONE!!!

first stop :)

i don't gamble for real but yeah i spend a lot of my hard earn Gs in the arcade since i was a little kid.

attended a friend's wedding, which was the main reason why i went back earlier.

she's actually my oldest friend to date.

we met in the first day in preperatory school? is that correct.

stayed in CWC for a few days to say hi to some local friends and shoot some vid.

my shoulder i think got a bit of a shock coming from the cold into the warmth and directly to the cable. yikes.

o well i had fun shooting eli, susan and anton.

I am now in Palawan enjoying the sun and the underwater sanctuaries in this part of the country.

i miss diving sooo much being in europe for 4 months.

so now am off to laoag to the north to finally have some surf!!! here weeee go!

i took over the apartment in CWC and we will be having it during the upcoming WONW which would be awesome!!!

can't wait to see everyone again.

here's last year's edit from ontheloose.tv

watch it :)

PS: its funny to be back wearing heels and dresses.

hehe

chocolate fountain again and again. hihihi

am back suckers!

so nice to be back in the warmth.

Went from Göteborg till London till HongKong

Our luggage got stuck in London because our flight was late to catch the HK leg

but since my visa doesn't permit me to enter the UK they had to let us go on the plane without our stuff. Which turned out good in the end cause we weren't lugging it around HK which would have been a real pain in the ass.

spent halloween weekend in HK which was awesome. went partying in Drop where my friend Joel Lai was playing with DJ Born to Funk who really had a great set.

Last minute halloween costume hunting turned nice as well. hehe

also went around Lantau and ocean park which i havent really done since i was like 12.

it was really nice but HK turned too commercialized over the past 10 years its insane.

but still, i always enjoy my HK stopovers.

flew to Manila yesterday, arrived 1pm and we had to come back for our luggage around 5pm. then straight off take the night bus to CWC. so here i am now in the cable park so excited to be back shredding in 30degrees. today we will be riding in our costumes. it would be sick.

this is my first meal when i arrived manila

I LOVE YOU JOLLIBEE!

back home to Naga

CWC has always been a home to me too.

so heading there just for a few days with friends for some fun surely makes me happy

Nice to see everyone again

this time there was nothing going on, no event just chilling and riding with Tynna and the rest of the crew

We almost got the park for ourselves so we were able to film a lot.

were coming out with a sick vid anytime soon.

and some pics too in the post production room right now.

so for now these are some lame photos from my Ipone Cam :)

--It was a long fun trip catching a flight from kalibo at 7am is not a joke.peace --

Windless Day, ha! we have our ways

Everyone is useless on windless hot summer day.

a time to drink Tanduay for all the good times and bad....

watch the breathtaking amber skies with friends....

bring on those weird toys! lets go out and play

Thinking now, it's not that bad after all



Oh how i love the hot summer days <3>

She's shy. meek also learning how to kitesurf herself. Thanks for the photos, but next time i think its a good idea to stay away from my crotch as a POV. lol!!!

wicked photos!!!!! Thanks Ally :)

Glad to have seen this!!!

ripped straight from KTA Facebook Page, this is scary!!! an i was thinking of getting one in the future...well not anymore!

and am sharing this to everyone else!

SAFETY FIRST :)

Drunk Testing

A Very Drunk Mr. Marcus, my good buddy and awesome musician/photographer, did some test shots of me kiting. It's his first time shooting action sports so he has to know the "angle" and the right "perspective" yano! hahahaha









so fun!!! - it was my fault that he was drunk, i was an hour late (thinking he wouldn't show up coz we had a rad party the night before, but he still did *such a sweetheart)....he was waiting for me and ended up downing San Mig Light. O well, it was pretty good though.

He enjoyed it so much he didn't even put his waterproof case...poor camera but thank god its still ok :)

.........and some funny crashes, but still good photos over here.

Just went out to have some fun!!!!

And yes, am girly like that, on light wind i drive a HOT PINK Rebel 9m by North Kiteboarding


am so stoked and feeling so blessed*

A Breather from all the parties, the mayhem, the events that took place over the last month. Me, Carla and Elena went to Palawan for a Photography, Diving, Relaxing and supposedly kiting safari.
















Carla has been around the world taking photos for a living, am glad i met her as i am in dire need of an underwater and landscape photographer, and she did an excellent job indeed, Elena was our model so our trip involved a lot of giggling, pigging out and just plain fun! yippeeee! *Photos are for HUMA ISLAND RESORT that's gonna open soon in Palawan. so watch out!!

check out carla del moral's portfolio here :)


Carla also taught me some cool stuff about kiting, especially techniques on kiting and now she's on a mission to take me diving....again

Though i've tried a couple of times before i really thought diving isn't for me plus all the expenses that this leisure requires... but what the heck! and i did enjoy it a lot.

it sucks going to Palawan and not to dive at all, yah sure island hopping blah blah, but Palawan is a diving mecca and the place has a LOT, 12 in total, Japanese wrecks from world war 2. how cool is that?!

so I did two dives reef + wreck, and the spanyolas did three, i am not yet ready and capable of doing a 40m deep wreck dive for now but i will be back for sure.
i will be concentrating on my diving license with Dane when the wind is gone so i can come back and conquer the 40m deep Olympia Maru Wreck...excited*


Just look at that strong wind, am surely overpowered on my 6m on this wind and going for SUPER big air, i don't know what happened the night before our flight but we went partying at B-side and forgot about bringing our kites...uhhhh ohhhh, and we almost missed our flights too..as you can see in our airport shot (me and elena are in the best state of our lives) it really sucked, feeling the wind that strong and we had no gear...huhuhuhu



o well we had so much fun anyways :)



VAMONOS!!!!
