iba (na ang) zambales

click pic to direct you to my multiply page

it started as one long vacation for me. half day last wednesday until tomorrow, tuesday.
yet again, the holy week was spent in iba, zambales with relatives. why there again? 'cause frankly, it's one of the cheapest vacation spots that is very accessible (in terms of travel and doh). plus we'v
e been there since we were the only family vacationing and visible along the long stretch of pristine waters and white sands. i know, white sand sounds so cliche nowadays. but i'm digressing.

anyway, there are more and more people there every year. and starting last year, there was already the san miguel beach concert. ah the signs of the times.

honestly, i was really not in the mood to go to zambales for two reasons. first, i will miss yuri this year. second, i want to do some nature tripping/adventure. the first reason i cannot do anything about it. the second, we were supposed to do it already with an officemate and some of my friends. unfortunately, it didn't push through. boohoo.
however, after sitting through it for hours (i mean this) i decided to go instead. my initial plan was to do dvd marathon. i realized though that i have nothing else to watch. i thought about buying some dvd's in mcs, however i thought it's probably closed.
so i went. can't say i've had a blast because something's just missing and it's not as fun as before.

anyway check out some pics.



and i also made this video



ciao!

iba na ang iba

iba na ang iba

it was zambales time for the holy week. finally. another much needed vacation from 3 days of work. haha. so here's a few pics. more to follow when macky returns my memory card reader. hmmm. shout out to macky!!! lol.

on our way. took us 7 freakin' tiring hours!

special taho: served in neon glow-in-the-dark plastic cups

bryan and the sun

we were so tired when we got there we just decided to take pictures and lay on the beach till the sun set. ate, got a little drunk and "partied" till the early morning (photos coming soon). when we got back to the cottage, we had no where to sleep so we decided to put up tents and camp out on the beach.

2nd day
hitting the beach
after camping out on the beach while all the other revelers are busy singing their hearts out in the numerous videoke machines that dot the beach until the wee hours of the morning, we woke up with aching bodies because of the irregular levels of sand on our backs and the constant biting of unknown insects and/or tiny crustaceans. we then grabbed something for breakfast and immediately hit the beach.

level na rin ang iba, pala. they were already offering banana-boat rides. one of my cousins asked them how much it would cost and the boat man answered with a very surprising and kilay-raising cost of 3,000 pesos. punyeta. nilagpasan ang level ng boracay! ok lang kayo manong?! so we decided not to do it anymore and just enjoy ourselves with the semi-ritual of the boat ride slash (dead) coral trip.

cousins mother lilane and cheska

cousin jay-r

boat ride

i can swim. promise.

the fucking dead corals spelled disaster. i scratched the top of my foot while i was paddling through the sea. ayan, may sugat tuloy.


cousins kelvin and jay-r

mok and cheska. and kelvin and moir.

look at our faces!!! lol. (click to see larger)

we were trying to do the floating shadow thing (will be posted soon) that we did the day before with my cam but it ran out of batteries and we just had to settle for another cam which did the photo above. funny how we were so giddy we looked like excited little children. look at tita madette, LOL. she could be the easter bunny haha.

SMB party night-out
that night, we went to the san mig concert slash party again. well, that's the only "night life" available for us other than the usually tiring videoke and inuman sessions at the cottage. so we walked the seemingly 524,654 miles of beach just to get there. sakit sa paa.

tita madette and cherry

cheska, mok and i

moir and lilane

i am the captain of my beach!

3rd day
final day
final day to get a tan and to experience the beach. and finally we got to do the banana-boat ride for a more than half the price of the original 3k. lol. i think they were so desperate in earning already that they settled for 12 persons, 2 trips for only 700. lol. hay, pinoy.

feeling bench

odd man out: yuri

butt crack. lol!

anna, tita mads, cherry and cheska
