One of the days I look forward to each year, along with Christmas and my birthday, is Lenten Season's Good Friday. Each year, during this certain Friday, our family goes on a road trip and our destination always has waters involved. This year, we decided to drive down south and head off to Kuting Reef, a not-so new resort but a lovely and peaceful place to unwind and enjoy the feeling of being with my family.
The trip begins with a riot early in the morning during breakfast and continues on who goes to bathe first. Then the funny part begins, when we squeeze in one car. We have a lot of rides readily available to use on a road trip, but where's the fun in that? So we squeeze in dad's pick up and play some old songs to complete the trip. :)
As everyone's getting ready, me and my sister Ganna saw the lovely sun shining down the heavy equipment.So we took the opportunity to capture the beauties around us. I honestly can't imagine our home without the masculine trucks and the huge, as in really huge even bigger than me, tires. I mean, I grew up to an a very industrial environment so the sight of metals make me feel so at home. Weird? Nope, that's what you call, awesome.haha
Here I am, enjoying the beautiful morning with my dad's vintage Ray Ban Aviators circa 1980 which I accidentally found as I rummaged his old closet a few months back. I had these shades repaired so it took me months before I got to wear it. You just can't imagine the thrill I was feeling as I waited for this baby to be perfectly fine. Feels so good to wear my favorite man's old stuff.
I used my sister's bronze necklace. I love this one, I asked for this but she loves it too much to let go of it!
First stopover after an hour and a half of road trip was at a barbecue place where we enjoyed our coconut water! Thanks to my dad's influence , I grew up loving and appreciating fruits. Since it was holy week, I settled for everything vegetable and fish only. Alas, I did not try their grilled food if it was really good. Well during lunch, I think I actually enjoyed the coconut more than any other food served.
After the long drive, we have finally reached Kuting Reef. Well, no, this is not an optical illusion, they really have a huge chess. For those who want to work them biceps while playing, here's for you. Or for those who want to play like kings of the medieval times, try this!
I'm ready to soak in the sun with my Soak swimwear!
Some coolers before basking in the sun, Watermelon Shake and Banana Shake.
This is what I enjoyed most, the taking-in-of-the-beauty time. Ahhh, I could do this everyday.
I enjoyed the beauty of the place, yes. But here's the person who made it more fun for me, my sister! Well, everyone actually. Me and my siblings had so much fun in our banana boat ride, what with all that bouncing and yelling. Man it was fun! Too bad we didn't have a clear shot though.
We stayed at the resort for just a very short time, because there are employees waiting for their paycheck. So after the swimming and the early dinner, we're off to the road again. I couldn't help but halt papa as we drove along this road. This lovely road which was just picture perfect! There's the green grass, the horizon, the mountains, the see and some cows in the background. I just said to myself that this is one place I shouldn't miss. Too glad my parents were so supportive, my dad stopped the car and my photo-addict mom took a photo of me.
Here's me at Agas Agas bridge, the country's tallest bridge standing over 292 feet above the ground! Glad I chose the right wardrobe today, being we were still undecided whether we'd hit the beach when we left the house. The sheer top just made me comfortable the whole time.
Having my usual soul searching time during lovely place encounters.
After seeing this candid photo, I just thanked my sister for capturing this wonderful view--with me of course.
Siblings-shot!
