When I went to Siargao last year, the only nightlife I experienced was the videoke along the Boulevard at General Luna. Little did I know that there are disco places here where locals and tourists alike go to for some awesome night of drinking and dancing. On my first night alone, I was asked by some of the locals to go party with them. But since I wasn't really in the mood and I was so sleepy then (since I just came from Cebu and haven't had much sleep at all), I declined. They kept encouraging me anyway.
On my 3rd night
(the same day when a 5.7 magnitude earthquake had struck Dinagat in Surigao del Sur, which we all felt here in Siargao), the internet at
Ocean 101 was pretty crappy
(usually it's fast). I figured, it may have something to do with the recent earthquake
(I also couldn't contact my cousin who lives in Surigao del Norte). So after an early evening of chatting with a new friend
(Arren, an American), and a late evening of chatting with one of the staff at Ocean 101
(Noynoy), I went back to my room to rest. But I was tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep. The thought of partying kept entering my mind so I got up, got dressed, went out to find Noynoy and off we went looking for a habal-habal
(motorcycle) we can rent.
