Wordless Wednesday: Dip!

taking a dip in the water with my cousins

 

 SUMMER!

Another addition to my summer vacation posts, coming right up!

How I wish summer would never end so I can still soak up under the sun.

Anyway, here's another one of my summer destinations - a beach called CAUSEWAY.

 I failed to ask about the history of the place and why it's called Causeway. For a small town, it's such a wonder why a certain place has an english-sounding name.

1. We rode the bus on the way to the beach. Since it was full, some of us had to stand. It was a very short trip anyway. :)

2. Striking a pose at the sign that says "Causeway Beach, Tourist Spot"

3. Me and my cousin Meg riding the habal-habal, an improvised motorcycle.

4. My aunt loves to sing "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" on karaoke.

5. Lying on the sand. :)

6. There were rocks in the middle of the sea so we climbed and well, took a pic! :D

7.8.9. My cousins burying my brother in the white sand! :P

10. The habal-habal with a roof! Ain't that ingenious? :) Only in the Philippines!

11. The shore. It was rocky and sandy.

12. My brother and cousins raising up the sign that says "Villa Violeta", the name of the resort where we chose to stay for the day.

And finally, me, in all my unsexy glory.

Thanks to my friend Ate Donna for pointing out that even Marilyn Monroe had love handles. 

I shouldn't be ashamed! :D

More summer photos soon!

50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind

There's no Meet me on Monday post this week so I decided to put up a set of questions which I'm aiming to completely answer in 50 weeks. A different "meet me" version.

That should be 1 question answered per week...

Thanks to Michael at Rhinehart's World for the inspiration. :)

I will start answering next week. I plan to religiously do it on Tuesdays (crossing fingers on that because I can never keep up with scheduled posts - I always lose track of day/dates).

I hope people who do this should link up! 

If you've read this and is also planning to do one, I hope you leave a comment and link. Thanks!
