Hi

I actually feel bad about neglecting this blog so much. Maybe I lost my passion to write last year since a lot of things happened and I've been to many places as well that I can't juggle life, work, & blogging anymore :( Fortunately, I missed sharing stories & photos so here I am trying to catch up!

So last year, I
- Quit my first job (and..)
- Found a new job. I am currently a homebased graphic designer working for a company based in Australia
- Opened my first Instagram shop (but can't update it now because I'm still looking for new products that I can sell)

And new places I've been to (which reminds me that I also need to update the Bucketlist section of my blog):

- Baler, Aurora (surfed for the first time!)

Bolinao, Pangasinan: Falls, Rock Formations & Beaches

I've been eyeing Bolinao since last year and was actually the first choice for our family's year ender trip. Unfortunately, the bad weather that time forced us to either cancel or choose another destination instead. We opted for the latter because we really needed that break, we ended up in Zambales & still had a really great time (I blogged about that here)!

Fast forward to 2017's first holiday, I finally went to Bolinao and it was even more special because it was my high school group of friends' first out of town trip.

San Antonio, Zambales: Pundaquit Beach, Camara Island, Capones Island and Anawangin Cove

This post is long overdue but let's just pretend that I posted this on schedule (haha!) which should be on the first week of January. I started 2016 by going to the beach but that was for the purpose of my thesis. I concluded the year the same way but for a totally different reason, just for relaxation and a quick escape from the work-home routine!

I stayed 2 days at Pundaquit Beach in San Antonio, Zambales with the whole family. We just relaxed, ate and stayed in the pool on our first day- something I wish I can do atleast once a week hahaha!
