If all goes well (and I sure hope it does), I will be on my way to Zambales by Friday night. And by Saturday morning, I will once again see those calm, clear waters and that beach with a quaint mixture of black and white sands. I would like to believe that I have earned this chance to unwind after the roller-coaster ride that is work.I'm eagerly awaiting this chance to once again be one with nature and be in communion with friends. Not to mention this perverted longing to be out of touch with the Metropolis for a whole weekend, doing away with cellphone signals and the convenience of fast food.
More than anything, I will take this opportunity to finally assess where I stand and make my own decisions, away from the opinions of most involved parties. Indecision has wrecked my inner peace for quite some time, alternating between staying or going. I wish to resolve this bisected stance once and for all, and a weekend outside my set comfort zones might do the trick, especially now that I am given a myriad of opportunities I would be foolish enough to once again let pass.
I still haven't prepared for this trip. We're leaving Friday night, but I still haven't the slightest hint of what I should be bringing. I haven't even started to pack. If I'm not careful, I will once again be caught unawares, and will be packing -- and over-packing -- at the last minute.With trips like this one on the agenda, I'm really wishing I had a decent camera with which to capture the majesty of this jewel of sand, sea and sky.
i LOVED anawangin.... loved it!

ReplyDeleteGood luck and God bless on your trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat time to chillax and have a "me" time, hehe.. Kailangan yan, lalo na kung workaholic ka..;)
Hope we can hear more from your trip then.. cheers! Congratz pala nanalo ka sa contest ni Dong Ho ha!
@ Jaime: Yeah, I loved Anawangin when we went there last year. And I don't think I'll tire or going there.
ReplyDelete@ Dong: I'll try to keep that in mind. Another friend told me that Capones is good nga raw. Hopefully, the tide is in our favor pagpunta namin. Mahirap daw ang trek papuntang light house pag low tide.
@ Lucas: Thanks, Luke, I'll savor this trip talaga. Baka kasi ito na ang last trip ko before April 15. After this trip, it will be crunch time. Circus na naman kami.
Akala ko talaga you're writing a letter to yourself. hehe
@ Lawstude: Thanks, Lawstude! Only gonna be my second time sa Anawangin. The last time, wala sa aming may dala ng camera, isa lang ang may camera phone.
Parang na-pressure naman ako, mag-expect ba ng feature?! Haha! Buti na lang, my mountaneer friends take good photos. Yung shots na lang nila ang ipo-post ko. haha!
@ Dylan: Thanks, Dylan, we, too, are looking for a safe, enjoyable trip. Yeah, kailangan nga talaga ng "me" time, kasi circus na naman pagbalik ko. haha!
Yeah, ang galing nga, nanalo ako. haha!
hi shattershards, please connect me thru email for the claiming of the prize. thanks. just send me an email at i.dongho@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteahehe...nagkataong ang pangalan niya eh alias ko dito sa blogosphere. hehe!
ReplyDelete---
nako sulitin mo yan para naman rejuvenated ka kapag nagsisirko ka na ulit sa work..hehe!
keep safe.
Magkatunog eh, lolz. Di ba mas matindi yung di alam ang pakay sa lugar..ahaha!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your trip then, and it will be a memorable one. ;)
Hmm, kailangan ko rin ata nito..ahaha!
H'wag mo muna isipin yung circus, it will worry on its own.
Cheers!
@ Dom: Thanks, Dom. Malamang next week ko na kunin yung prize ko. hehe
ReplyDelete@ Lucas: Baka naman Ricky Lee is writing about you writing about someone. haha!
Your post "Deciphering.." was about a water color painting that somehow reminded you of a friend whom you've somehow lost. Ibinalik pa nga niya yung librong sinulat mo para sa kaniya. (hehe, makialam ba sa buhay ng iba...)
@ Dylan: Oo nga, magkatunog sila. haha!
Yeah, enjoy ito, may kasama pang trip sa palengke. hehe
I'm trying not too worry too much. Cheers!
ahhh..i see..kaya pala...naungkat mo pala ang isang post ng aking masalimuot na lablayp..hehe!
ReplyDeletekaya nga ako natuwa dun sa libro na yun. nagsulat din kasi ako ng libro. binalik nga lang sakin. hehe!
malay mo, ako nga talaga yung lucas na yun. hahaha! :P
