Patar: A hidden paradise in Bolinao

Bolinao Adventure

Bolinao is a hidden paradise situated on a cape of the northwestern tip of Pangasinan; This is located in one of the Ilocanos provinces in the Philippines and approximately 40 kilometers away from Alaminos City, 79 kilometers away from Lingayen, and 274 kilometers from Manila via Camiling, Tarlac.
My team, Team Jeric spent a day and a night in this place and it was really awesome. I fell inlove with the view, the water and the people around. They are really warm and kind and very hospitable, well common trait of filipinos. The stay in Bolinao would remain one of the best experiences I have with the best people too.

how could this be forgotten? Of course, we did it too! All girls jumpshot...It is a shot without a jump...lol!

Cape Bolinao Lighthouse

Folk etymology attributes the name "Bolinao" or this remote fishing enclave from the fish piece "monamon" but commonly called "Bolinao" by the Tagalogs, Bicolanos and the Visayans.
If you are searching for the perfect hideaway with endless fun, pleasure and relaxation, then Bolinao is the place for you. Frolic barefoot in the pristine, crystal-clear waters and the sugary white sands of Patar White Beach, or view the breathtaking azure waters of the South China Sea atop the Cape Bolinao Lighthouse. I have a picture of that Lighthouse on the right and everybody really enjoyed the stay here. They have fresh food, and we had some "inihaws of variety like fish, meats, we had some crabs too and many more.

Sunset at Bolinao

This is a very relaxing scene at sunset in Bolinao. After all the fun we had, jumpshot, some social drinking, jamming, swimming, we just all sat and stare at this sight. It was so lovely and calm and seems like all your troubles were forgotten at least for awhile but then, it gave peace by simply looking at the calm water.
We enjoyed the team building here so much and I would recommend this place to everybody. Try and have some fun!  Have a blast of more on my next write ups...please visit http://adin0113.wordpress.com. Thanks! Have a good one everyone! ^^

GetAway by the Beach

I just realized of writing  and thought about this place...just now! I was in the midst of browsing thru my collection of Photos of different kinds and occasions when this got my attention. I have a very large collection of more than 100gb of photos. Though I have been in this place sometime in 2009 when I was still with my team... I never thought of writing a good catch about it. Betcha, you will ask me why just now?...I also don't know why, but  to my realization, I just want to share a bit coz I feel calm and seems like a perfect picturesque in mind about being steady and I feel like my mind is at peace when I saw these photos...

                     

Almalin, Lobo Batangas is a great place plus if you are with the company of great people...you get satisfaction and truly a memorable experience. It never brought us that long to this place. We started the travel from our office after shift in Makati. We  reached the beach in 2 to 3 hours of driving.  Almalin, Lobo Batangas is a nice place...It is like any other spot in the Philippines where you can get the mood with the calm water, seafood experience on the seashore, great company with great friends...

 This reminds me of this:

Footprints in the Sand

 

        One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

             Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

                  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

                       Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

                           other times there were one set of footprints.

                                  This bothered me because I noticed

                                that during the low periods of my life,

                             when I was suffering from

                         anguish, sorrow or defeat,

                     I could see only one set of footprints.

          So I said to the Lord,

      "You promised me Lord,

         that if I followed you,

             you would walk with me always.

                   But I have noticed that during

                          the most trying periods of my life

                                 there have only been one

                                       set of footprints in the sand.

                                           Why, when I needed you most,

                                          you have not been there for me?"

                                 The Lord replied,

                          "The times when you have

                  seen only one set of footprints,

          is when I carried you."
