May 11, 2021 I had my first trip to Bolinao, Pangasinan with my family where I chose to celebrate my 18th birthday instead of throwing out a grand party. Since I'm the one who made up this plan, it's my duty or part to accommodate all of the stuffs that are needed to take up this journey that we are about to go through. In preparation, we packed our things up and brought all the essentials that are invaluable. We left Nueva Ecija at around 4AM, during our travel, we encountered our first check point entering Pangasinan. We didn't expect any of these circumstances that is much rigidly and disappointing. It came to the point that one of our passenger tried to invoke the member who is in-charge of the check point. Unluckily, we were not allowed to pass go through since we didn't have any valid alibi. All of us got annoyed and felt hopeless and one of our company headed home already because of frustration. Still, our squad strongly and quick-witted made a lot of ways to surpass this extreme travel we've had.
In 9 hours travel we faced with, it was all worth it when we arrived to our destination. Seeing the green-blue water on the beach, the creamy white sand and especially the fresh wind made us all relieved. They assist us and headed straight to our room with superb view of the beach. Each everyone of us are exhausted, some of us started cooking since we're all starving. And as we are preparing for the sun to go down, we took a lot of pictures of the beautiful view and capture some memories that for sure we will reminisce after we leave this beautiful place. It's already 5PM, we began our celebration near the beach with loud music, disco lights, tasty foods, and adult beverages. We met new people that are awesome and friendly and we truly had a great night with them. We be like singing on the top of our lungs, drinking as if there is no tomorrow, dancing and doing a lot of crazy stuff.
In the next day, we went off to the falls of Bolinao. During our travel, you can see a lot of trees where you can really see and feel the vibe of the beach. And hooray! we just got in! Our hangover vanished when we swam into the cold water of falls, and as you place your body at the hefty falling water upon your head you can feel the relaxation, as well as the view of the place by looking at it. Once more, we took a lot of memories in that place and occupy the time has left before we go home. It was exceedingly fun that we pursue this trip and I guess this birthday I had was the best.
