The beach was a bitch.
So, I'm back. Having to spend four days with people I'm not usually out with is different. I missed the three Paolo's, Jo, Aaron, Masi and other people who I'm usually with (except for Rye because I can't just go to the beach without him, hehe). Thanks for going, Kim! (:
It was a bitch going to the beach on a 3-day weekend. Of course, I expected a lot of people.. but I didn't expect people actually camping and sleeping at the shore. As in. And the bars.. a lot of people couldn't get a decent table because all tables were taken. The whole strip was packed. We couldn't even walk back to the cottage without having to squeeze ourselves in the crowd. Can I just mention the two gay men french-kissing beside me? I missed going to the beach on an off-peak season.
The hassling thing that happened to us was that Ate Estela sold us out. It wasn't her fault really. We were at the Lodge for two nights. We didn't reserve for Sunday yet because we were still waiting for people to arrive. When I came down on Sunday morning to tell her we were extending, she said that the room was paid for by another group already. We had to leave. Arg. The boys found a fan room but hell, it was a very small fan room. And it was far from the beach. That's how packed the beach was. Thanks to Rye for going through the hassle of checking all the lodges. Good thing he found an aircon room good for 8 people -- that was near the shore, and near Hiyas. (: Greeeaaat!
Pictures to follow. I'm at the office so I can't upload pictures. I'll do it when I get home. (:
