It is literally scorching hot now since it’s already summer and that is one thing that I really do not like about this season. It’s like deadly hot now! I mean, you can crack an egg in the middle of the road and leave it the to cook for about 10 minutes. Don’t ask… Yes! I tried it. Haha Good for us here in Cebu, the beach is just around the corner. Hurray! =)
These photos are from Bantayan. A very good friend of mine, Diane, asked me to go out and bask in the sun and enjoy the beach. I couldn’t say no! So we hopped in a bus and went there. It was really fun since we just camped out on the beach. There were not many tourists at the time so we had a good time chilling and relaxing.
It was really an adventure since we did not plan the trip. All we now was where we want to go and that we want to camp out on the beach, That’s it! Haha We had to walk alongside the beautiful shore to find a place where we were allowed to camp out. Good thing we found the perfect spot after 30 minutes of walking with our heavy back packs! It was fun, still.

I just noticed that I have always had the best memories every time I go to this island. This is why I keep coming back and I will be back there sometime next month. It was one of the best time I had with one of my best friends, Dianne. We did a lot of catching up and we will also be needing a lot of catching up specially that she is now engaged!
Ofcourse, I had one of the best times there with my girlfriend, Sophia. 3 days and 2 nights there with her was simply all I could ask for. Well, it doesn’t matter where though. As long as she is happy with me then it will be an awesome moment for me. =)
Okay, enough of the uber cheesiness from me. Now, about the look! This is what I wore when we were on our way back to the city. It is pretty basic since I want to get comfortable for the 3 hour trip back. Just wore a shirt and a pair of swim shorts. The abundant color is blue so I added warm colored accents such as the sun glasses and the flip flops to contrast from the blue. This also accentuates the yellow and orange highlights on the print of the shirt. 
]]> Summer Chill https://jessejake.com/2016/summer-chi/ Sun, 19 Jun 2016 13:27:00 +0000 http://jessejake.com/index.php/2016/06/19/summer-chi/

My introduction to summer was just how I wanted it to be. It was very chill and relaxing. My friend and I didn’t expect it to be spontaneous but hey it ended up to be one! Haha We had a little adventure and we got what we wanted. We had fun and peace of mind! =)

We were supposed to camp out on a famous camping site in Bantayan Island. When we arrived there, it turns out the site was closed due to reasons we are uncertain of. Anyway, we decided to look for other areas but we didn’t like the beach fronts of the two resorts we checked. So, we decided to have lunch before looking for other resorts.

After lunch, we decided to walk with our huge backpacks! Nope, we’re still not backpackers! Haha It was all good because we’re positive beings. Good thing my friend, Dianne, had an awesome idea of walking along the shoreline until we get to a beach front that we like! As you can see in the photos, we found the perfect spot. We laid our tents at Yooneek! It’s a lovely place and the vicinity was still peaceful since we came to the island a week before peak season starts!

I don’t know about you guys but I really find it convenient to wear a button up on the beach. I can take it off when I decide to swim and wear it again, unbuttoned, when I’m just chilling. Ofcourse, you still have to check if your button up is made of the right material. Something that would probably dry up fast. If you have one that’s hydrophobic, that would be great! Haha 
The Turquoise swim shorts paired perfectly with my polka dotted button up. Yes, that button up has tiny multi colored dots on it! Haha I think it paired up just because of the blue draw string of my swim shorts. Okay, it could also be because they’re both on the same side of the color wheel! Eitherway, it works like a charm! =)
