May 2011

I was invited to an out of town trip, by the CPh Process Group. Of course, I said yes. When did I ever say no? Wait. I know. One time, June, I said no to Bellaroca. I shall see you next time, Marinduque. :)

Enough of the segues, we left for Pangasinan on a Friday.

Bolinao Falls. Never Stop Exploring.

The sight that welcomed us.

Sunrise

After breakfast.

Baby hogs were cramped in the wicker baskets

And we saw our first falls.

 Going to Bolinao Falls 3.

Our trek

 Had to return. The place where we went was not suitable for swimming. Blamed it on the coal makers. The footprints they left were not a pretty sight.

Water spa

 Along the way, more waterfalls.

 That afternoon, we went to Enchanted Cave, Bolinao lighthouse, and Patar Beach.

The gang

I was not particularly impressed with the cave, what with the cemented stairs and the electrical wires along its mouth. Although, I would have loved to try the pool inside, I was too lazy that time to change into swim clothes. Perhaps next time.

 When I had my Canon Ixus 100 IS, I was very fond of taking shots that accents one color only. This specific photograph, I especially liked because of the poignancy it depicts. Maybe it's just me. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder. Haha. I kid. :)

Poignant

 I like seeing solar panels. :) It's a genius.

Harnessing the energy from the sun.

Beautiful, aint it?

Stop and stare

Yay beach mode!

Patar Beach Sunset

Next day.

And we were off to the famous Hundred Islands.

You trek in a dress. Yes. Do!

Hundred islands

Freeeee

I especially liked one of the islands whose sand was comparable to that of Boracay. And the island where we chanced upon a cave. Had to jump in order to get out. :) Euphoric.

I love my travels. It rewards me in more ways than my savings account would. Hahaha. I live for jampacked weekends. Let's travel more! :)
