the beach

i miss summer vacations - my family and i used to frequent montemar beach club in bataan every summer, during my childhood. i didn't care about getting dark, because nothing could come between me and the beach. we had a house in baguio too, but i loved going to the beach more.

the minute we arrived, i would immediately change (sometimes, i was already wearing my suit!) and jump into the water, or make sand castles, form sharks or other marine life on the sand. everytime i was at the beach, i was in heaven. there was a time i almost drowned when my brother let me go at the deeper end of the ocean, i woke up already dressed in the shade, no trauma at all. i think i may have been a mermaid in my past life. i'm such a frustrated mermaid now :)

i can stay at the beach all day long, kayaking, snorkelling, or just playing with the sand. one of the items on my wish list is to be able to learn how to scuba dive. maybe soon.
