ok, since i'm waiting for something anyway... and this is not much, might as well do it, right? :P
Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
we arrived in Pagudpud on Sunday night, tired from the commute and a bit pissed that we missed the sunset. the sun just set and left the sky orange when we finally chose a resort to stay in.
the room we had was not as good as the one we had in Vigan, but we'll just be sleeping in there anyway. funny thing though is that half of the bathroom door is just frosted glass, so you could quite make out what is happening or who is in the bathroom. that leaves you the shower area to strip, however the rods and wherever you could hang your clothes are on the side of the bathroom "covered" by the door. ahem, period.
we had dinner at a restaurant there, which funny enough is a "Wifi Hotspot". funny because we were in the middle of the province, trying to get away from civilazation... and here it is, on the edge of the country, is a wifi hotspot. anyway, we had bulalo, mini lobsters and bulanglang.
food was good enough to restore some of our energy. we walked by the beach afterwards. i was surprised to discover how fine the sand was, almost comparable to boracay. anyway, we didn't get far by walking because we started "writing our names" with Allen's flashlight.
this is what you can do with a flashlight, and some kind of fireworks mode on a point-and-shoot camera 
having breakfast the next day. last shot before we all got burned for not bringing sunscreen.
we went on a little walk to reach this side of the beach, where there were less crowds, less rocks and more shade. the windmills are still visible from here.
almost 2 hours later, this is what we turned to. last group shot by the beach. too bad we can't get the windmills in the picture.
well, we left pagudpud with a heavy heart as we didn't really want to leave, but we have that 14-hour drive back to manila to "look forward to". it was pretty as boracay, yet it doesn't have that commercial bustle. it's definitely a place where you can relax.
ayayay, if only it's not so far, i will be back next week! i can still afford to get a bit more tanned, right? :D

Astig yung flashlight/camera trick!!! =D
ReplyDeleteSarap naman ng bakasyon.. Buti di kayo kinontra ng weather.. =p
Ngayon ko lang naisip....
ReplyDeleteYou either had to write your names (in cursive) in its mirror image form, or you had to flip each picture before posting. Which one was it? I'd be amazed if it's the former. The third possibility seems unlikely, kasi mukhang nasa likod ng flash light nagsusulat.
anyway, i agree with nikki, astig and cool yung light trick. :)
@nikki: yep, it only started raining when we were packing up and leaving pagudpud. so buti na lang talaga. :D
ReplyDelete@mark: of course we had to write our names in mirror image. flipping the picture itself is just so damn corny! ;P
slow shutter + flashlight = lightwriting
ReplyDeletei don't buy you guys writing in mirror image! XD
i will be more amazed if you could lightwrite in block print!
astig sa bangui no?
҉hey that's cool che, and since you seem to be good at writing in reverse, well, mirror image, then you wouldn't have a hard time reading this. Um... the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
