Zambales is the place to be......

Islander,
here I come....



It's not yet new year tomorrow but since I got a lot of spare time I just want to recall the things that happened in my life this 2008.More time to think, breath and be melodramatic eh......

Despite the hectic work schedule and the fact that my holidays are dependent on the Korean calendar, I would say I had a couple of trips that I enjoyed. last March, we went to San Antonio Zambales where my travel buddy (JOSH) spent his childhood. It's a small town , very usual if you are in the central part. But walk a little and you see a small river and the Mountain on the background. It was so peaceful at night and there's this kubo near the river where we stayed until 8pm just listening to our heartbeat and looking at the stars. Ahhh, reminds me of TABINGilog (the tv show). I love the peace of that place.

Then there's the beach.....



The name is Pundakit. This is where the famous Capones Island could be found. But since we went there late, we were not able to plan for a trip in the island. With the memory of Boracay still fresh in my mind, I would say I was not impressed with the sand. It was very coarse and brown. Nonetheless, we still managed to take a few shots despite the sunburn still obvious in our faces.




It is also very difficult to walk on the sand but we still managed to make it to the Southern tip of the beach and back after which it's dark so we need to find our way back to town which is something like 15 minutes via motorcycle.
Ah, yes, I remember the motorcycle ride. I drove that day and the view is also a thing to be cherished.....

  1. haha! ang galing nung first pic. ang ganda ng bundok sa backdrop. ito ba yung sinasabi mong brown sand din? ayos lang yan... though white sand beaches are fascinating, ayos din yung may beyond the usual. pag napunta akong zambales, pupuntahan ko din yan. malapit ba yan from calapandayan?

  9. Dong. Thanks. Buti kapa nakapunta ka Capones. Nakita ko nga yung bonfire nyo in your blog.

    Yeah, I think having picnic in an island like Capones is a great idea.

  14. Wow, I've lived in Manila for five years before moving abroad but I really never had the chance (or effort) to go to Zambales! Now I'm really regretting it!
