Serenity at its Finest

Yes, I admit that I am a city mouse. The bright lights and busy streets of Manila are some of the things I have grown to like. Daily I walk solely on cement (or anything that covers the paths I take) and hardly step on anything natural (and take note, this is when I am not riding a car or sitting on something stable). I love how comfortable I am with my life in the city. I am more than contented.

So why would I talk about the beach if I'm so fascinated by the luxuries of the metropolis? I guess I can say that I didn't actually have a choice. My family spent the whole Christmas break in the province of Pangasinan so how can I stray away from them? I could not. Thus, the reason for my beach visit is explained.

Initially, I was not too fond of the whole beach visit but the moment I set foot on the sand, I realized how much I needed this time to relax. It's been a while since I've gone to a beach but this one in Lingayen was able to fill my mind with peaceful thoughts (just to help calm me down before classes start again). I spent the whole afternoon with my parents jamming to their music and taking photos (credits to them both for being patient with me HAHA).

The sound of the waves hypnotized me so here I am resting my head :P

FUN FACT: I got these shorts around 3 years ago and they still fit me HAHA

This nipa hut is just so cute and teeny weeny, I promise you will have this urge to hide under it forever.

I am still so amazed at how the sun was able to turn some of my dark black hair into bright streaks of gold!
