Last weekend was probably one of the best I’ve ever had: with four friends I embarked on a tiring but nature-filled trip to Ilocos, where we frolicked under the sun (on the day state weather forecasters tagged as the hottest of the year, no less), trekked a little bit to get to an amazing waterfall, and laid on the sand at night to gaze at the stars and listen to music.
My weekend, in pictures (photos courtesy of Sophia, Aie, Seph, Mark).

We left 9 p.m. Friday, rode the van for nearly 12 hours, and had breakfast here at Grandpa's.

We went to Baluarte, a mini-zoo, where we saw these llamas. I had a hippie moment: I kept on telling the driver not to hit the pony that was pulling our carriage (I ended up hating myself for riding it). Was resolved afterwards that animals should be free to roam the earth. Freeeee!

I couldn't stop myself from singing The Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" when we stopped by the pottery barn.
We stopped by other places: a museum, a Church, a lighthouse, a rock formation, beaches, waterfalls, windmills…

On the stairs of the Marcoses' former resthouse, the size and location of which nearly drove me insane. There is no justice in this world.

Look at how clear the water is!

First night dinner!

- Second night dinner!

This is what I look like when I am thinking about how much I hate the heat of the sun.

- I can’t believe I managed to smile here. I was already itching to kill someone, anyone, because of the damn heat.

The five of us at the beach :p
