A planned overnight get-together to Lambug Beach located in Badian, Cebu had been set weeks before the event. As expected less had confirmed and most reason is busy. In our itinerary, we have to meetup at the South Bus Terminal by 6:00 AM but some of us didn't get on time including me. That is basically understandable since we are truly Pinoy so we have that Filipino-Time habit. As a result, we travel on separate groups but we are all still able to end up on the same place.
When we arrive, we went straight to the house where my colleagues made a reservation for an overnight stay. Even from afar, we already noticed the royal blue color of the ocean. The breeze is pretty refreshing that you can never had in the city. The islands of Negros was clearly visible from the shore which is plus factor to the place that it makes it more like a paradise. But when we get near the water, a friend of mine exclaimed the water is dirty blue not the royal blue we've seen from afar. Below the water is entirely corals and stones that made it dirty blue.
We take our rest and prepared the meal while waiting for the late comers. We grilled fishes that we bought from the market where we dropped from the bus. Enjoying the heat of the sun while picture taking in the shoreline. Some enjoyed themselves in Videoke. It was late afternoon until we all decided to go swimming but unfortunately the tide is low and all we got are stones and weeds. So we journey far from ashore to have at least a waistline level of water so we can swim. Some of us were injured because of the sharp corals including me. So unfortunate. When we finally take off, the sea started to rise that it looks like its only waiting for us to take off.
Preparing for the night, we setup tents outside the house and my tent was set beside the shore so I can enjoy the stars in the very clear black sky. Others stay inside the room. When the night falls, we gather in circles then we started the party. A mojito shot with salt and lemon for chaser. It was indeed the first time for some of us. We had so much fun talking to each other while a glass of liquor is being passed to one another. Until, we unconsciously realized that we are already drunk.
People started to act weird and talking about something out of this world. Some did topic on political issues and I wonder why are they talking about it. I myself even did something stupid. So I decided to leave the circle and straight towards my tent to get my sleep. The night breeze is chill but my internal body is like on blazing fire.
Excitedly woke up in the morning to have an early swimming but unfortunately the tide is low again.
When we had our breakfast, everyone started to talk about what happened last night and was laughing to each others stupidity. Some are still on bed getting the hangover. Again, we go swimming, picture taking, videoke and etc. Enjoying the rest of the time until we had to packed once again and prepare to go back to the city. It was a short time but those memories will last forever. A worth it #LaagPaMore with them!

So How I Get There?
I took a bus route to Bato via Barili. We ask the conductor to drop us at the Badian Public Market. The fare for the air-conditioned bus is P126. We hire a tricycle to get us to Lambug Beach where we pay P30 per head.
