Celebrate joy!

Food, food and food! Here are some places you need to try as you get your foodie fix on in this island :) Hungry Surfer For this trip, we stayed at Bay's Inn which is just a stone's throw away from the beach. Last time we stayed at Mahdox Backdoor, and while I personally prefer the latter as far as accommodation is concerned, the former has its own 24 hour restaurant, the Hungry Surfer, making it one of the most convenient places to stay at in Baler. Imagine, drinking your coffee with the sunrise as your view.... yeah, this is the life.

If our day 1 consisted of a full-blown tour of Baler, day 2 was focused on 1 thing: surfing.

How’s your holy week? Off somewhere with white sand, seas and breeze? Today is the perfect beach weather,  isn't  it? But wherever you may be, or whatever you may be up to this long weekend, may it be a reflection on how good God is. :) As for me and my fam, we're just staycation-ing here in Manila. So with all these free time, I’m trying to be as productive as possible– so while my mom and sister hold up old pieces of clothing to give away, I’m sitting on the bed, resolved to catch up on my blog backlogs. Let’s be friends again? Help me out and forgive me for not posting sooner? You have to forgive me, it’s the HOLY week! :D Okay, okay, here it goes! First off, the Baler trip last month!

Got back from Baler yesterday and geez, a few unexpected things happened, but we also got to experience some new things :) More details soon! For now, these rules are posted on one of the walls at Bay's Inn, the place we stayed at. Which numbers should you start living by? :)

Hello there! If you're planning to get on that surf board soon, whether it's at Baler, La Union, Siargao, Zambales or Hawaii (yehesss!), here are some items you may want to include in your beach bag. Since surfing is quite a different sort of beach activity from the chill/party feel of Boracay or the quiet/serene vibe of Palawan or Bohol, a tougher set of beach clothes and things are essential. Ready?

I cannot wait to go back to this piece of island next year! My foot is still a little sore and I have a big bruise on my upper right thigh, but it doesn't make me less eager to go back to Baler just because of how much my friends and I enjoyed our recent trip there last Oct 5-6.

I can't believe it's already been a week since my last post :( And I thought I was being more diligent with writing... Whoops! But hey, another way of looking at it is that being busy with other things gives us more material to write about. Diba??? Pwde na bang palusot yun? Hehe! But seriously though, it's true! Case in point, I was out for the entire weekend because of the Baler trip I was telling you guys about. I am super excited to tell you guys about the experience.. and I write that with a sore right foot (piki--piki lang ang peg ko these days), aching arms and back, and bruised knees.
