Harvest Beach Resort 2012

Harvest!
One thing that I love to do, is to travel. I love learning new things seeing new places and meeting new people. “Harvest Beach Resort” our destination for the Lenten Season, after being punched by work loads and activities,finally we had the chance to go out of town and have fun. It was planned long time ago, before the year started. There are only few people who went there, me, carla, carlo, Mam I, Mam Mjoy, Izza and her family Grace, Prem and her Mom with Kuya Chris the driver. As we travel the road to north we shared fun memories and happy moments with each other, the crazy days and dramatic moments of the school year, the people who influenced and became part of our life, we even joke that the car is overloaded even though its not, just to fill those hearts who long, if only they can come maybe we could be happier. But in those hours of travel I never felt bored or felt any down moments, unless we are sleeping. We laugh hard, and never felt that we are only 10 people in that car.
We arrived at the resort “Harvest Beach Resort” it was owned by Izza’s grandparent. The place was amazing because of the church. First we did was to rest for a bit and wait for our cabin, when we finally have our cabin we rested and woke up just in time to take a plunged into the water, we played Beach Volleyball and Frisbee.
After a while we got the chance to experience the Kayak me and Grace tried it first and we had fun. I love extreme but sometimes I am also afraid, I can never explain what feeling I have that moment, maybe it’s a feeling I will never forget, “carefree” “fearless” feelings that sometimes I can’t have because I’m afraid.
“Bon Fire” first time to do bon fire on the beach, even though it doesn’t look like a bone fire. How you watched the fire stirs up and slowly go down. The stories we shared as we wait for the fire to die. God is really great.
“Food” amazing and delicious food. This is one of my favorite, I will always remember the “Savor” who became a ball in the dining table. The adobong pusit and some other sea foods. Yummy!
“River” First time cooking while seating in front of a burning chicken. =) And cliff diving, the fear of falling and totally sinking in the water is one those experiences I will never forget. It will be treasured in my heart.
“Sunsets” Those orange lights and reflections to the sea coming from the sun, was really my favorite moment every time I go to beach. That part when you watch the sun slowly go down and gently covered by the darkness of the night. It constantly remind us that another day has passed and we are blessed to lived that day.
“Sunrise” One thing that I will always remember about the beauty of Harvest is that you get the chance to see both faces of the sun, how it sets and rise. Its a wonderful moment when you see the sun rising from the top of the mountain range of Zambales, it brings hope that we are given another day to live and full fill our purpose as humans created by God.
“PEOPLE” Izza, Irene, Mjoy, Carla, Carlo, Grace, Prem. =) Thank you for the joy you brought in those 3 days in Harvest. The long talks and jokes that are recycled over and over again the teasing and simple smiles at each other. I will always remember those times. =)
I wish to see more of the Philippines as I travel with the people I love, with my camera, and my back pack. =) God bless!
