My PundaQuit And Anawangin Escapade

At the first week of February, luckily i had a double-off break from duty. My very good friend and Co-staff Ma'am Anj texted me if i wanted to joined them to Cabanatuan. So immediately i accepted the invitation because i don't have anything to do. On the day itself i found out that the plan was changed and we're about to go to subic instead, then i remembered that subic was near to Zambales that's why i suggested we went to Pundaquit at San Antonio, Zambales. I have been there last 2006 and i enjoyed the almost white sand and the crystal clear water, and of course the much cheaper rate than other beaches around the archipelago.

We travel at around lunch time and because Ma'am Anj & Jem we're from night duty they fell asleep the whole three-hour ride. Its' only four of us came Anin, Anj, Jemely and a very dear friend of Jem's named Chris. When we arrived at San Antonio we bought the food we needed for two days, luckily they had a mini market place that has almost everything you needed. We rented a cottage suits for eight people and we got it for a nice price, mind you i spent 900+ for the whole adventure including the transportation.

The first thing we did was cooked the food for the evening, i cooked the rice and helped Mare Anj grilled the tilapia, we ate it with salty eggs, fresh mangoes with tomatoes and bagoong alamang. It was so festive. When we went swam at around 5:00 in the afternoon the sunset was perfect and its time for the picture taking... The water was so refreshing and i heard some famous celebrities went here for surfing and Jericho Rosales was one of them.

After dinner we conducted the drinking session together with the sing-along mode of videoke. We talked about everything, love, boys, problems we had shared everything and consumed a whole case of redhorse. The singing session was great Chris is a good singer and we're all have fun till 2 Am.

The next day a nice friend of Chris came during breakfast, Ate Mel brought some boiled-corns that was so delicious. The caretaker asked if we wanted to go to "Anawangin" and we decided to go. We rented a boat and enjoyed the boat ride, it was a feast in the eyes to see all the islands and the serene water, we didn't know what Anawangin is going to bring us. When we arrived at the place i was tongue-tied the beach is so beatiful, it's secluded and you consider a virgin island. It has Pine trees like Baguo, it has white-powdered sand like Boracay and a crystal-clear water. I

felt so at peace on the place, there were foreigners at the place. We had a blast at Anawangin.

Back to Pundaquit, we went Mountain Climbing at a near mountain. The summit was superb. it was tiring but nice experienced. The two days was not enough for all the things you can do at Pundaquit, Ate Mel kindly brought us a ride to the terminal unluckily the next trip was at around 11:00, so she decided that we went sight seeing inside Subic Bay Metropolitan Zone, we visited the fort that houses the US Naval Ship and stroll along Subic Bay. Much to our surprised she brought us to Pier 1 and paid us a dinner. So kind and sweet of her. We dance all night and groove along with the Pier 1 band. I even caught a 6 Feet tall guy along with a foreigner, he seemingly look like Hua Zi Lei of F4, his maybe a high-class call boy but i loved how he played billiards and i like his side glances, i remembered when the band sang "Bakit ngayon Ka Lang" we stared at each other and simultaneously uttered the words. It was so sweet... I really had a good time and promise that when my honeymoon arrives I'll surely go back to Zambales..
