Baler-Summer 2014

                          Summer is almost over although I woke this this morning terribly irritated because of extreme heat even it is already month of June. I already wanted this year to end because it has been a bad year since Gerald passed away. But to think of it, There are 6 months still remaining and I cannot rush the hands of time. I have a choice now: to be productive or to be lazy and wait until next year to regain myself again. But NO!, I have 6months remaining and I dont want to waste anymore time. I am on the last term for my Master's degree and I have decided to finish it this coming semester if God will allow me. I just hope that God will give me wisdom and strength to finish the race despite all the hardships and grieving process I am into right now.

I would like to Outline the events that had happened to me this Summer. I would like to start my experience in Baler, Quezon. It was memorable because I never thought that I would be god in Surfing. Yes, you heard it right, I surf!, and I learned it fast.

Next time, I definitely want  a photo standing up in a wakeboard on the beach. But seriously, It was so fun. In P350.00 1hour of training how to wakeboard for beginners like us is not bad. All the boys who trained us were very patient to us. It was not easy to train because of large waves, heat and exhaustion after so we gave a reasonable tip to them afterwads.

While on the way to Baler, we found a good place to start the day and had our breakfast in this haven. There specialty is longganisa and it is indeed yummy!. This trip would turned out to be perfect because of my new found friends Nina, Roxie and Mark and ofcourse my bff Ems. I hope we would do this again and again.

We stayed on the most talk about Costa Pacifica. it is very new and the most modern and expensive hotel in Baler. I must say there are flaws with regards of their service probably because there are jampack at that time but I hope they will learn to improve their service more because we've waited hours before we finally check-in the hotel. Though I must say there Buffet breakfast is heaven. I think I gained weight after this trip because of there delicious foods.

The experience of walking with trees and river, mountain hiking and exploring nature is for me the best gift of life. I was able to recharge and just enjoy the moment of being in the mother falls. According to Dalai Lama, The purpose of our lives is to be happy. At the back of my mind, I have problems back in Manila especially at that time my boyfriend was in the hospital, though we were not in good terms at that point but I really love him and I worried a lot. I cannot ofcourse show this emotion to my friends because I didn't want to ruin our already planned vacation. For me, my thoughts were positive that when I came back in Manila, I would definitely go to him immediately and took care of him in the hospital despite of all our trials and challenges in our relationship. he needed me I thought. I cried at bed during the night but still enjoyed my vacation too. Weird it may sound but I handled my problem fairly good.

    We also went in Dicasalarin Cove where we met senator Angara. There are lot of funny things that happened and one of those was when he offered us the most nasty taste of pizza ever. I had no choice but to swallow the weirdest taste of it because he was infront of us but it turned out to be very funny. He even let us rode in his cool motor ride and people were staring at us. We're VIP's hahaha

Another place we gone to was the largest Balete tree and what else we need to do. Pictorial!!

Overall. It was fun. I'm recharged.... Recharged for the battle awaiting for me.
