i wanna go to a beach!

I was browsing through Friendster and took a peek on some people's profiles. I actually checked my relatives and friends' profiles and saw their pictures on the beach. I couldn't help but envy them...why?....because the last time I went to a beach was I think four (4) years ago! It was the time I went to Palawi Island with my Tito Gani's family, my 'lil sis Trian, Lola Willie and my friend Yasmin. I had many invitations to go beach hopping but I turned them all down because I was saving for my siblings' tuition fees and expenses (sigh!). After my father's sudden demise, my life really took a 180 degrees turn. So those things that I used to enjoy like going out-of-town during weekends with friends, shopping, frequenting the salon and yes, going to the beach now took a backseat for the simple reason that, there are more significant things that I need to spend my money with.

I'm not indulging in self-pity here because I know I did the right thing. I have also recognized the fact that I will regret it more if my siblings' wouldn't be able to enroll. I really just miss the simple pleasures that being on the beach creates...hearing the waves, feeling the sun & sand on your body, late night walks and star-gazing, (sigh again)! I can still remember Yasmin's expression while seeing all those shooting stars in Palawi Island ( I think all the stars decided to fall there,hahaha)...that sight was truly priceless!

But hey, I might spend my honeymoon on the beach! Kokoy & I already made reservations to one of the private resorts in the North (it used to be exclusive for members and they just opened it for the public's pleasure very recently)...that is if we could still squeeze it in our budget, well, I'm keeping my hopes up. I couldn't wait! At least, I'm not having any guilt trips in going for this one...and hey, it's my honeymoon anyway:)
