I finally had the time to finish my little clip compilation of our out of town trip! Happened last March 25th with my besticles and a bunch of kind strangers at the camp. Had the greatest time and really looking forward to more DIY travels with family and friends. But hopefully, solitary wanders, at most.

I wanted it to be all original but I love Mac de Marco so much that I made “The Way You’d Love Her” as the background song. I’m sorry y’all copyright freaks. Char. Please don’t suspend this video. I’m begging.

Okay! Enjoy!

I have gone with the wind. Naaaah! Such a good place to relax and unwind! ❤️ Just have refreshened my soul. 😇

We departed for Zambales early in the morning. Travel took around 5 hours. As advised, we bought our supplies at the public market in San Antonio and did some last minute supply check before heading to Pundaquit. The boat ride didn’t feel that long since you’ll pass by the breath-taking rock formations and mountains of Zambales. You’re also going to pass by the more frequented Anawangin Cove. We got a good deal from our boatman Kuya Joven. He offered us a small boat to the Talisayen for only P500/head with side-trip to Capones Island which included the following: Tents for the group, cooking equipment, 10 gallons of drinking water, and an ice box. Since we do not want to hassle ourselves on bringing our own camping materials, we took the deal.

To our surprise, we actually had the whole place all to ourselves. The moment we arrived, we prepared our lunch immediately – set up the fire, marinated the pork, and steamed the rice. We also built our tents and settled down for our most awaited afternoon swim.

There isn’t any electricity present. Phone signals are non-existent at Talisayen Cove as well, so it’s best to bring your power banks for emergency purposes. I’d recommend this place to anyone who’d like to step back from everything for a little while.

During the night, we built a bonfire and had a couple of friendly bottles of alcohol. A lot of games are really funny when people are drunk. Confessions here, confessions there. Our friendships gained some points and reached another level. The best part, aside from the marshmallows and hotdogs on top of the bonfire, was the stars that illuminated the sky. It was dream-like. Lying down, the star gazing emptied out our heads. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

Happy birthday, chef Andeng!

On many beach-hopping tours in this part of Zambales, boats just pass by it barely earning a second look or a comment from tourists and guides alike. It is not as blessed as its neighbors. Although it cradles the same volcanic ash from Mt. Pinatubo and the same agoho trees, it doesn’t have the shallow creek of Anawangin or the small waterfall of Nagsasa. But one thing it can offer you is its silence. During summer the shores of the other beaches are scarred by countless footprints. The spaces between trees are shaded with the bright colors of tents, and the air is filled with the cheers and yells of happy friends and families. However, Talisayen remains calm and peaceful.

Explore the cove. On the opposite side there’s a small trail. We reckon, it will take you around 45-60 minutes to reach atop the mountain where you could have a better view of Talisayen Cove. When we reached the top, the stretch of fine white-sand against the green mountains and the pine trees was an amazing sight to behold. It was the perfect spot to nude yourself and be true and one with nature.

Of all the ashen coves patching the coastline of Zambales, Talisayen is the quietest. It’s like that one guy back in high school who sat at the very back of the class, not saying a word unless asked, often overlooked because he wasn’t as popular as his seatmates.

But little did we know that he can talk wonders.
