Summer 2008

It's the summer of 2008...

I've wasted a couple of friday nights because of work. There had been times when I had to stay at the office until 2 - 4 am!! Then, I would just spend the rest of the weekend in bed trying to catch up on sleep. I actually missed a company outing to Laguna just this past weekend because of working. I wanted to catch a lot of sun this summer.

But I had a very nice excursion the last weekend. We had a 3 day weekend because of a holiday. And fortunately, 3 slots opened up for me and my friends to join a group called Photoholic. They have arranged everything for a summer beach camp to Zambales. What I mean by arranging everything is as in everything. This is like camping for the rich.. or more appropriately for the lazy! Camping was just eating, lying on the sand and basking under the sun. The Photoholic group has arranged some professional campers who would bring and cook our food, drag the tents and setup our camp. We were a spoiled bunch of campers.

We went to Zambales' Pundakit town where we rode small bangkas to reach the island of Anawangin, Capones, and Camara.. Anawangin is where we camped for a night. No resorts, no electricity, and not even SMART has signal that could reach this island. It's just us and the idyllic beauty of Anawangin. I didn't bring any camera. I joined a Photoholic group. I was with experts of photography. I wouldn't want to bring out my compact camera and use my poor knowledge of photography to be with those SLRs that they were brandishing. So, no photos from me. I suggest you look thru my contacts to see our photos.

Anyway, I had a nice weekend. Met new friends. And I also tried to learn skim boarding. Looked easy, but didn't even managed to stay on for more than a second.

It's still the middle of summer, I hope to see more of the sun... on a beach...

SMB, sarap mag beach... Tara!
