Great Escape


Last sembreak, me and my countable friends decided to have an outing at Tondol Beach in Anda Pangasinan. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to come coz my parents would not allow me. But no ne can stop me lol. I escape from our home for the outing. I don’t care if they’ll get mad. This would happen only once in my life so I just bite into the opportunity.

Anda is far from our place. We left the bus station at 5:30. The trip was a pain. You’ll be bored at your seat. Good thing I have my phone to listen some music. We have passed 8 towns and I said to myself “are we still in Pangasinan?” This place is farther than Baguio. We arrive at Anda at 8:30 pm. I though we were already on the beach thinking it was a walking distance from were we are. One of my friend who lives there that told us that we still need to travel a 12 kilometer travel in a tricycle. WTF, the fare is 120.


The road to the beach is so scary. No streetlights around. The only light you could see is the light coming from the tricycle. The place is very rural. There’s no signal on our phones. After a 30 minutes ride, we arrived at my friends house. His father welcomes us. They are so hospitable. After eating there, we decided to go to the beach for a walk at the shore. On the way to the beach, still no lights. We use the lights from our phones to see the road. When we arrive at the beach, we can’t see its beauty but we can still see the white sand. We return at my friend’s house, play cards for a while and went to sleep.

We woke up early coz we’re excited to show our talent in swimming lol. We are amazed of the beach’s beauty. You could compare it to Boracay because of the sand. We rent a cottage and put our foods and stuffs there. We walk at the shore and take some pictures. We captured 200 plus pictures of happy and stupid moments. While taking pictures, we noticed an island. Even in a distance we could see its beauty.


We don’t know the island’s name and one of my friends told us that it is the “Isla Babae”. We laugh of what he says and we decided to go to that island. “Wow challenging” I said to myself. I love challenges. Another adventure coming up. It was low tide that time so we travel by foot going to the island. On half way going there, all of us began to say ouch. It’s because of the rocks under the sea. One of my friend unfortunately steps on a sea urchins. He deserves an “ouch” haha. When you look it from a distance it looks like it is near but on the way going there it is far. WTF, almost a kilometer walk. When we arrive at the island, we check the wounds and cuts on our feet. Luckily I only got 5 not so deep cuts. Another pictorial happens. Whoa it feels like we are castaways from survivor. We stay there for half an hour and decided to return at he main island before the water level gets high. We get back to the cottage and rest for a while and we swim again. We show some cool back flips at the sea. I enjoy that moment a lot. It was a great experience at the beach showing your crazy acts. We return at my friends house and pack our stuffs so that we’ll be able to catch up the last trip on the bus station.


When I arrive at home, I need to listen on a long homily (“sermon”) from my parents haha. They are mad at me coz I escape.

We arrived at last
