Deifying the Delightful Dakak

"Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord. You heavens, bless the Lord. Sun and moon, bless the Lord. Seas and rivers, bless the Lord. All you birds of the air, bless the Lord."

Daniel 3:52,59,62,78,80

     





The first quarter of the 2010 was coming to an end. What perfect way to end it was of course officially starting my own Sun, Sand and Sea vacation.


So I set out to my next destination, wait for it, Dakak! 


Oh yes it was Dakak! The well advertised beach resort down South because of the noon time show Eat Bulaga.


Thanks to an airline, I was able to score promo tickets to Dipolog. I was even lucky to book a room at Dakak by the last minute.


And so there goes Padre on the plane again. We arrived at Dipolog and the shuttle to Dakak was there waiting for us. Dakak here I come!

Before the sun sets on our second day, I climbed up this hill to see the whole of Dakak.

No Pain, No Gain. I got this picture because of my persistence to climb up the hill on my own.

One of God's wonders and I am so blessed to have witnessed such creation.

What is the South known for? As I was wondering for an inspiration for my photos, I saw the famed roofs of the South.

The best that I can get in a vacation is tranquility.

Dakak offers a lot of activities for their guests. One will not run out of activity around the resort. This volleyball net never runs out of players. I was lucky to get a shot of it at high noon.

I waited. Took pictures. Waited. Almost gave up. Went around. Came back. Then suddenly it happenned! They finally heard my prayers and flew right across my lens!

I don't want to be criticized by the Animal Rights Organizations. But there was just so many of them and I got fascinated. I just have to take some pictures. Don't worry; I put them back after their pictorial.

No they are not fishermen coming back from the sea. They were just cleaning the shore along Dakak.

The clean, serene, private Dakak shore. 

This is the other side of the Island.

This is Dakak by day.

The Kumintangeros and their Kumintang.

The cultural show presented by Dakak resort for its guests every weekend. It was nice to again watch a show as such. It made me look back on our cultural dances. I've already forgot how good Filipinos are in showing off gracefulness by dancing because of all this media hype on Krumping.

Super fresh, super yummy, supper delicious oyster I had....in Dakak.

Light fascination.

At the end of the day I was still not satisfied. No wait, let me rephrase that, I was still hungry for more. I still wanted to take more photos, go to more places. How I wish I can do all that in one blow.


As I end my trip, I looked at my wallet and thought to myself, God will provide.
