It's a different high everytime I get on a surf board. Had a great weekend and went out of town (beginning to get my groove back). Went to Ilocos Sur and La Union for the holy week. Got educated on our Filipino heritage at Ilocos, enjoyed the sea breeze/ beach at Sabang, dinner at Sy-Quia Mansion (old house turned museum), watched the way of the cross at Vigan, ate empanada and okoy with halo-halo, got some chairs, drink all you can at night and had a great time with my inner circle.
Passed by La Union after Ilocos and was tempted to ride some waves...adrenalin rush...my accidental high...will definitely do it again soon. Planning the next trip by first week of May. B wanted to take his family to go surf. J and I will definitely tag along with A and R. Can' wait for the next long weekend. This is what you call life.
How to get there?
By Car-: From Manila-NCLEX- SCTEX- Tarlac- Pangasinan- Junction Going to Baguio-Before Baguio left to La union then straight to Ilocos Sur. Vigan is 45mins-1 hour from Candon City. Pagudpod is 4 hours from Vigan. More or less you will consume 60-80 liters gas if you are to bring a 4x4/SUV (excluding Pagudpod trip). Toll fee's around Php500-600 (back and forth). Travel time is averaging from 7-8 hours without traffic and depends on the driver. Usual traffic spots are: Valenzuela, Toll Gates, Pangasinan (Urdaneta and Rosales) and Junction to La Union this is granting you will take SCTEX and not NLEX. Don’t forget to eat empanada and okoy with their suka then of course bagnet. Enjoy your trip.
