I miss the beach!

I miss going to the beach.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Donsol. Now, THAT's an experience I'll never forget. I think sometimes people forget how beautiful this country is. Kids now just go to Bora and I really don't appreciate them throwing up on the beach (wow..I just referred to these people as "kids"). Many people are aware that Donsol is the whale shark capital of the Philippines, but there's more to see in Donsol. The 12 hour bus ride from Manila to Legazpi was excruciating...it was really, really long. But at least we got to appreciate Mayon Volcano. And then we had to rent a van to take us on a 2-hour road trip to Donsol, which happens to be the hometown of our driver, Kuya Colin! Of course, we stayed on a budget inn. But it was okay. It was a decent place that served good food, had airconditioning and the bath room was clean. We went on a hike and we got to see egrets. We saw around a thousand white birds flock to this beautiful swamp..place. Hehe. The pictures we got don't do justice to the place at all because it was beautiful. At night, we went to see fireflies. We took a 30-minute boat ride to the place where the fireflies were partying. It was pretty!!! And then of course, the highlight of the whole trip was when we swam with the big, big butandings, all 15 of them. Thank goodness for those wonderful fins I bought, I was able to really swim with those wonderful creatures. And yes, I touched the biggest one. I couldn't help it!!! It was soooo close. As in super! I'd wanna do that again.

It's summer and I've only gone to the sea once. Next week, we're going to CamSur!!! Yey wakeboarding! For weeks now, I've been thinking of going to the beach and bum. It'd be great to be a beach bum even for a few days..or..fine..1 weekend. I wish I have a yacht and I could just go anywhere I like anytime. Hayyyy...

I can't wait for the CDO trip with my girlfriends..it'll be in October.. OCTOBER!!! That's soooo far away!!!

For now, I'll just imagine I'm Jessica Alba in Into the Blue, or that blonde girl in Blue Crush. Wahhhhhhhhh... I feel so deprived!!!
