Road Trip

Last week, we had our road trip. Yours truly together with my close pals or better known as "The Jugings" decided to travel the narrow road of Iloilo heading south.We just wanted to have a break from the many pressures and tensions going on with our academic life. We thought fresh air, the blazing sun, and the welcoming view of the beach might release all the negative energies and recharge us with positivity once more. After a very short, hasty, and on the spot preparation, of we went!













While we were traveling, laughters filled the car. By the way, we were using Cee's Fortuner and yes, she was the driver too. He he he... But what really made me love that moment was the tranquility that dawned upon me while watching the road and the road side as we went. The scenery of the coastal line on the left side, the hills and trees on the right, and the simplicity of rural living made my soul calm and collected. Another funny moment was when we crossed the bridge of Tigbauan in going to Guimbal wherein we held our breath from the beginning of the bridge until we reach the other side of it. For what purpose? Nothing, just for sheer fun. He he he...

We had two stop overs. First at Poblacion, Miag-ao wherein we just wanted to have a full gaze of the famous Miag-ao Church which is known for its unique and beautiful architecture. Then at San Joaquin wherein we bought some of the spices we needed for the food we were going to cook for lunch.

After almost two hours of speeding in the road, we finally arrived at our destination which was a not so famous beach resort in San Joaquin. The place actually was not that peopled when we got there and its name was kinda funny called "Basa Beach Resort" which in our local dialect "basa" means "wet". What do you expect of course when you swim in a beach? lol!














After settling down in a cottage we paid, we headed on to the beach and did a lot of swimming, rock climbing, and wave counteracting (what a term!). And then by 12, we had our sumptous lunch and then continued swimming afterward. It was fun. I had a lot of good time. We went home 4:30 PM tired yet satisfied. We were maybe physically tired from the experience that day but we knew that deep in our hearts, we were once again recharged with youthful enthusiasm and childlike eagerness.






I hope there will be next.
