SATURDAY, May 22: Lyndon, Mimi and I had our first and only St. Ellis breakfast before the group drove out to Naga, but not before stopping by the Cagsawa ruins by Mayon Volcano for some trick photography shots. I would have enjoyed myself more had I not needed to pee real badly that time, but the only restroom had a locked gate. (Hell with it, piss can pass between iron bars.) One guy assisted us, apparently having done this routine over and over for all kinds of tourists, so he knows all the right low-angle and forced perspective shots to take. (Hmm, still owe Mimi my share of the tip.)

When we arrived in Naga we spent the whole day at the Camsur Watersports Complex, and boy what a HOT day it was. Our whole afternoon comprised of WiFi web-browsing, IPodding, fruit-molesting, fake lesbian kissing, photo-pimping and chillaxing w/ laing or plain-cheese pizza, either by the pool or by the shaded area facing the artificial lake, w/ some us waiting for our name to be called informing us that it's our turn at the wakeboard area. Unfortunately we arrived on the first day of a week-long Kaogma festival and preparations for the 5h Philippine Wakeboard Nationals, so our chances of skimming the waters were slim-to-none. Luckily I managed to sneak a dip into the pool. Since its use limited to paid green wristband wearers and wakeboarders), when the anal "lifeguard" asked me where my wristband was, I said I was just waiting for my name to be called for the wakeboarding. (Snuck out of the pool area afterwards.)

Fernand fell on his butt trying out the skateboard rails. Mae managed to get herself tipsy after 4 beers. I called 3-Ku to tell him we were in town. He initially invited us to dinner, but when I told him there were 9 of us he had to rescind the offer. :P

Later that evening we checked in at NagaLand Hotel, but after freshening up we had dinner at Avenue Plaza Hotel, as per Xeng's recommendation. After dinner Mimi "treated" us to her song stylings, belting out a couple of ballads accompanied by piano and violin. Afterwards we all tucked in early (after some minor roughhousing on our 2nd-floor hotel corridor). "Anyway, cheers!"
