A short-lived Beach Experience

Summer is my perennial favorite season and I would hate to waste the long weekend that the Holy Week brings without going to the beach to relax and reflect. A week before Holy Week, I felt so hopeless and pathetic with no definite plans for out of town gimmicks. Our Bicol trip was cancelled since most of my friends have their own plans. Too bad for me… I was actually resigned to the fact that I will just stay at home and sulk… reflect I mean. Hehe.

Then one day, I chanced upon asking Raffy, Abi and Claude their plans for Holy Week and they happened to mention about wanting to go to the beach. Bingo! What’s more, we could join Kimchi and his friend to Puerto Galera. I was overjoyed. Since there will be no boats on Good Friday, we decided to leave early morning of Wednesday, May 23. We stayed over at Abi’s place on Tuesday night so it would be easy for Kimchi and his friend to pick us up at about 2AM. In the end, Kimchi’s friend backed out and so we were a total of 5 bubbly, fun-loving beach buddies.

On the boat to PG early morning


We maximized our first day by having our tatoo sessions with Kimchi, experiencing the banana boat and massage by the beach, all for one, one for all. No one should be left behind. After dinner we rested for a while and waited for everyone to finish taking a bath before we all went out to savor White Beach's night life.

We woke up early the next day to hit the beach. I sun bathed and swam with Kimchi while the others roamed and ate their breakfast. We also visited Au, a JobStreet alumnus and had lunch at her house since she just lives in Balatero, near the pier. Below is out picture with her.

And as if we cannot get enough, upon arriving at Batangas pier,we headed to Leslie's in Tagaytay for our dinner. I truly enjoyed my short road trip gimmick with the Voltes V and definitely the memories will not be short-lived but will stay in my heart forever.
