Para-Para-Parasail! @ Shangri-La Mactan's Resort & Spa

Since summer is almost over in the Philippines, I think it's about time I post the last few summer-related posts that I've longed queued up.

I've never been a sporty lad. All the more if the sport is a watersport or something related to it. As my relatives made it seem compulsory, I didn't know until I reached the resort that I would be parasailing in a few minutes, since they paid for it already.

First, we rode on a boat to go farther from the beachfront. I honestly felt nothing instead of anxiety since everything was happening real fast!

-----

Alas, 'twas time I let go of my being acrophobic (fear of heights) as I composed myself to brace for quite a ride…

-----

'Quite a ride' is an understatement! It was relaxing and breezy up there, at around 250 metres above sea level. We got the 'Magnum' Parasail package, which was the highest one Shangri-La Mactan offered.

My two female Singaporean cousins, Kim and Vanessa, followed next. They were obviously sportier than I was, so let's just leave it to that, eh? *embarrassed*

Truly, it was a day of firsts. June 1st. 1st parasail ride. 1st time I enjoyed the rough beach. And 1st time I felt infinite on air. Looking forward to the next firsts!
