ANAWANGIN - YOU'LL SURELY COME BACK

Having an "Ate" with boat rent and island hopping services, is truly a treat! Haha!

We went back to ANAWANGIN COVE one sunny Sunday Morning, as usual going there is a blast! Passing by great stone formations in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by clear blue waters.  We went back to keep my Aunt's boredom away! Haha!

                           

                           

We arrived at exactly 8am at the island and the next thing we did was to set up a table for the BINGO game we are planning to play after lunch when the scorching sun keeps everybody away from the hot sands of the beach.

                             

After setting up our game-table, we had a dip in the water and took pictures of the cove, it was very astonishing! Its too early for summer vacation thats why there are only few people in the island, it feels like we own the whole island! We are able to go in and out of the forested parts and trek up the hill to take more scenery photos. We went snorkeling at the crystal clear waters covering the rich and teaming coral reefs just meters away from the shore. Mind blowing it is!

I liked to make my nephew my subject for photography that day so I tried calming him up of his unbehaved hyper state of chilhood -and SO I FAILED. Hahaha! I told him to sit and pose beside the native store signage but then his concentration went up to something more delightful to him - He insisted to buy some junkees instead and not pose for me. Lol good thing i had a lot of patience in my bag hahaha!

                          

We cooked rice and grilled fish and pork using coal and pieces of dried branches which feels like an authentic camping (or should i say THEY - for i did nothing but eat haha).  After eating, its BINGO TIME! Yeah its fun!  "SA LETRANG B -BUNTIS!" We had a couple of rounds and I NEVER WON even ONCE! Haha! I think its not my lucky day that time. Lol.

                 

We went home before dusk and witnessed the sunset at the beach that never fails to amaze everyone. I'll surely go back to ANAWANGIN on summer!

ANAWANGIN COVE

"BITCHING" with college friends! lol

NO. What I really mean by that is "beaching" hahaha.  Me and my college friends with some "common friends"  had the chance to spend an overnight camping at the ANAWANGIN COVE which was AWESOME! The cove was 30-45 minutes of boat ride from the coast of Brgy. Pundaquit, San Antonio Zambales , depending on the size and speed of the boat you'll ride for rent. We arrived at the cove at around 1 pm and started building our tents. By that time, there were lots of campers on the island, because it was summer vacation for lots of students and workers. We had been catered by my brother-in-law with food and everything that we need to stay on the island (that's because it is their business getting and serving guests going to the cove- of course we get to pay them also *discounted lol).

Grilled seafood was served for lunch.  After eating we get to rest on some hammocks installed between two coconut trees.  And then we had some inland trekking at the center of the island and up the hill to take beautiful pictures and see the gorgeous scenery above the island. Then at dusk we went for swimming at the beach and took some underwater pictures! FUN!

We had a LITTLE drink, that we passed out and woke up beside everything that we thrown out of the gastric tract haha!

AWESOME CAPONES LIGHTHOUSE ISLAND

CAPONES ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE

This Island is a historical property of the San Antonio Town and is situated at the coast of Brgy. Pundaquit. It has a lighthouse up the hill that was first lit on August 1, 1890!!! It was used to guide international vessels from the North and Northeast towards the Subic Shipyards. Now it is solar powered.

Me and my friends has decided to ride the waves and visit the Island, at that time, we were the only people on the island... we thought that it would be as easy as 1..2..3.. and yeabah! we ended up with DRY MOUTH, BURNED SKIN, and  FRIZZY HAIR due to the fact that WE ARE SO BRILLIANT AND SMART (AS WE THOUGHT WE CAN REACH THE LIGHTHOUSE JUST BY WALKING....AND WALKING... AND WALKING...) we never thought that we should be looking for some signage .... and we got lost! hahaha! But with our kindled spirits we still pushed ( I PUSH MO YAN TEH -greta) ourselves trying to find the way up to the lighthouse!

Then Finally!...

Tiresome but it was all worth it! Reaching the lighthouse was indeed a spectacular moment! As if we were on top of the world! The sight was so beautiful! I would be going back there because of the serenity that we felt with nature!
