Friday night (Nov. 19) me, 4 photography enthusiasts (Alvin, Jap, Myrbs, Jason) , and Teresa (who wants a get away experience) set off to San Antonio, Zambales to start our most awaited trip before the end of the year. After 4 hours of bus ride and an hour of boat ride at the dark sea we arrived at Nagsasa Cove just in time before the sunrise. It was a great start seeing the sun rise from behind the mountains and as the sea becomes clear and turned blue. Everyone was so busy looking around the place taking pictures. Not a single minute is wasted as my photographer companions are so excited to take a shot of every good angle of the place including me using my cheap lousy digital camera. There’s no electricity, no cellphone signal, no internet, and nothing to eat except for the canned foods and snacks that we bought before hand. We camped eating just canned corned beef, fried and dried fish, and salted egg with chopped tomatoes. We started a bonfire, roasted marshmallows, take shots of vodka and called it a night. The next day we sailed again going to Anawangin which is the last destination for our trip. We got there early before 7 in the morning and started trekking. We reached the top and took some pictures and then headed back to the beach to take more pictures. Did I ever mention that we never really spend our time swimming? Yes, we never swimmed. Most of our time is spent taking pictures, my companions are so in loved with their cameras and doesn’t want to miss a single spot, lol. But it was cool. Overall, it’s one hell of a trip. I got some scratches and sunburned a bit but no complaints, I had fun. I wish there were more people who joined us, though. Right now I’m still waiting for the pictures and will put up a link when they’re available.
Here’s a photo from Jap Salem, photographer and programmer (zomg) who lives in the same place where I’m staying in Makati. This is definitely one of my fave shot because I’m in it ^_^
