North Ride Day 1: Cabugao Beach

My very stressed husband pushed this Holy Week Ride. With all the bad vibes he's been getting from work, he needed this very much. If we followed the pattern, this holy week ride should be our Panay Loop but we lack moolah and companions. Next, it was planned to be the Palaui tour but then again people backed out. Buti na lang Leo and Glenn came up with this ride. Ok let's do the kwentuhan and photo flooding. Shall we?

We met up with Leo around 12 in the morning on Holy Wednesday. Eerr make that Maundy Thursday already. We drove to Pafi Drekz house first to get something but we decided na magstay ng kaunti because traffic in Edsa was like hell! At that wee hour of the morning. Lahat yata ng tao paalis din! It's a little bit ok lang naman since we have to wait for Glenn na manggagaling pa ng work. 

By quarter to 2, we went to this Shell station na to meet Glenn. Here's the trio's picture before the ride officially started. It's around 2 in the morning then.

We had some stops along the way. We have to, mejo sleepy na ang boys e. This stop was my favorite. I'm not sure if I should call this stop because for me it's already our first destination. Here's the trio in Quirino Bridge. Apparently, this bridge marks your entrance to the Ilocos Region. If I remember it right, we reached this around noon already.

 Shempre, we have our own pic here -

By around 2 or 3 in the afternoon of that Maundy Thursday, we were already in Glenn's uncle's house in Cabugao Ilocos Sur. It's in front of the very famous Cabugao Beach Resort. We were here na before so nothing new naman. Except the house na ginagawa pa lang nung first punta namin ay gawa na. And these Aratilis trees, with hammock pa! Nice resting place.

 After the palengke sessions of the boys (yes! sila ang nagasikaso ng food. Prinsesa lang ang peg ko sa ride na to), we jumped in the beach na. The water was lukewarm. Super relaxing! And the best part, the sand was super fine! More like Boracay's sand but in white gray color. Look here, we were able to get a glimpse of the sun before it set.

After the short but very much needed dip in the beach, we headed back to the house to freshen up and prepare our dinner. Hindi na naman ako nakapagpicture! Tomjones na e! Anyway, we slept early that night. No bonfires for the super tired riders. We needed to sleep kasi early pa kami aalis the next day.

Sleeping Beauty,
