Masasa Beach 2018

Okay, eto na nga, pagkatapos kong magresign sa UHG last July 2017, wala pa ulit akong matinong gala na as in masasabi ko na nakapag-relax ako. Kasi naman, ang dami kong issue. LOL Nag-apply ako sa Results na tumagal lang ako ng 3 months at nagresigned din, bukod kasi sa medyo hassle yung account, nakaka-stress din ang working environment. Sagaaaaad!! And then, nagbalik- loob ako sa Teletech, pero ibang account na. Dayshift. Mahirap yung account ko ngayon kaya naman talagang sabi ko kailangan ko naman ng break.

Kaya naman nung inaya ako ni Bea na pumunta sa Masasa Beach sa Tingloy, walang pag-aalinlangan, sama agad.

Super na-enjoy ko ang weekend getaway na ‘to. First time ko kasi dito sa Masasa. First time ko din na makasakay sa malakihang bangka na talagang pambyahe. Ang sarap sa feeling.

So pagdating namin, after kumain and all, punta na kagad sa dagat.

Sobrang ganda naman nga pala talaga ng Masasa Beach. Malinaw yung tubig, maputi at sobrang pino ng buhangin.

Kinabukasan, island hopping and snorkeling naman ang pinagkaabalahan namin. Pumunta kami sa Sepoc Island, Sombrero Island (yan lang ang natandaan ko) Hahahaha

Hindi na kami bumaba sa mismong Isla ng Sombrero kasi may bayad na Php 200. Eh ang pag-snorkeling, dun lang din naman sa paligid ng Sombrero Island.

First time ko ding magsnorkeling, ang saya lang. Naisip ko, siguro kung marunong akong lumangoy, mas maeenjoy ko pa lalo yung snorkeling. Ang linaw ng tubig, ang dami ng isda. Tapos may pawikan pa.

Unang getaway ngayon 2018 at sobrang ang saya sa pakiramdam. Parang feeling ko ang dami kong nagawa pero hindi ko ramdam yung pagod. Enjoy talaga.

My First… … …

Aside from this simple blog of mine, I do have my own little diary, and as far as I remembered, I’ve written that 2015 will be a fearless year, and it’s going to be a braver me. I also written that this year is all about going to places I’ve never been to, it’s about taking risks and taking chances. So far, everything is going fine, I’ve come to experience some things that are really my FIRSTS.

I just achieved my first trekking experience on Mt. Gulugod-Baboy in Mabini, Batangas. It’s kind of tiring but it’s all worth it. You just got to love the view, the whole municipality of Mabini and even Bauan, the wide blue ocean and the cool breeze that just caresses your skin. How relaxing the feeling is. At the top, I feel how close I am to nature. I appreciate the beauty of nature and the beauty of Batangas more. Indeed, God is really a great painter. He’s really a genius.

I’ve been to many beaches and resorts, but this is also my first time to experience this photo op in this amazing rock formation in the middle of the sea. This one’s also in Mabini. See how beautiful Batangas is!! What makes this experience more awesome is because I have Bea with me. (the pretty girl behind me in the photo). She’s just adventurous as I am.

In my twenty-four years, this is really my first time witnessing such a gorgeous sunset. The feeling is just so surreal that I just witness how everything that surrounds me is slowly embraced by a yellow-orange hue.

As I watched how the sun sets in its haven, I just come to realize that God has so many ways to remind us that life always offers new chances and new beginnings.

It is also my first time experiencing the famous Pahiyas Festival in Lucban Quezon. Every house was designed with different Lucban’s products making it colorful. All the people in Lucban really made an effort to make Pahiyas such beauty. In this festival, you can see plenty of fruits and vegetables such as string beans, pineapples, aubergines, lady’s finger and a lot more.

One of Lucban’s pride is their kiping. It is actually made of rice that is molded in a leaf-like shape in different colors. This was really my first time to taste this so called kiping. It can be fried or grilled. Amazing, right?

This was taken in Kamay ni Hesus in Quezon, it is just so humbling and blessed experience to reach the giant image of Jesus at the grotto after climbing the less than 500 steps of stairs on the way to the top.

This is one hell of a ride, the Space shuttle in Enchanted Kingdom, everyone. I’m always saying that I will never ride this one, as in never, I don’t know what’s gotten into us when we just joined those people waiting to have a ride in this thing. As the crew fixes our safety belts, I feel like ‘Noooo, I want out!!’. But at the same time, I feel like ‘This is it!’ As the space shuttle comes to life, I just scream my heart out to the highest level. It feels like you just don’t care at all, you just hang on with your dear life. After that one freaking ride, my world just turned upside down. I felt dizzy and the only way to get my normal self was just a cup of ice cream. Crazy!

This is my first to explore one of the beaches in Sariaya, Quezon, the Villa Prado. We just enjoyed everything, their minions, billiards, slide, the pool, all of it.

Indeed, these experiences really need to be treasured. I just love that I got a taste of these precious moments. Always find time to relax. Always find time to celebrate and enjoy life. Godspeed.
