Life's A Beach

I hate the beach.

No.

I loathe the beach.

Like my favourite author Jessica Zafra, the things on the beach, e.g. sand, sun, hot temperature and the noise is something that activates my gag reflex.

Charing!

Actually, hindi ko naman totally hate ang beach, ayoko lang talaga ng sobrang init na temperature and hot winds. Me plus hot surrounding is so redundant. Haha! Plus, you can't wear gorgeous footwear sa beach. Di ba?

Last year, I spent almost all of my vacation leave somewhere na may beach. Wala din naman akong magagawa eh kasi yung mga friends ko yun ang hilig, ang magtampisaw sa dagat or sa pool. Gustuhin ko man na hindi sumama ay napipilitan na lang ako. I just bring a good book ay solve na ako kahit magkulong lang sa kuwarto for the whole time na nasa tubig sila. Killjoy much? LOL

Anyway, yesterday sumama kami ni Edz sa annual family outing nina KC.

We went to Pindasan town in Mabini Davao del Norte, barely 2 hours from the city proper. Aside from Samal Island, Davao del Norte is your nearest option for beautiful white sand beaches without blowing your budget.

When we arrived at the Beach View, the place was already filled with people. I never thought people would flock the beaches on a New Year's Day. Maraming pamilya ang nagre-reunion. In short, maingay. Our cottage was near the volleyball court kaya anytime ay puedeng lumanding ang bola sa aming lamesa. Imagine the ball landing in the big bowl of bulalo. Catastrophic. Bwahahaha!

Fortunately, hindi naman nangyari yun.

We went home by 4pm because babiyahe pa kami pauwi. Although the place is beautiful, they don't have close cottages kaya those who want to stay overnight should bring tents. In terms of meeting 'prospects', the possibilities are endless. Yun na!

I'm so glad I made this trip.

I am now sporting a new golden (and a little pinkish) tan.




P.S.
I've created a new blog in wordpress. It's thesame blog actually, like a twin sister, only in different outfit. LOL
