(Baler for a non-surfer)

Incomplete but we're all good. 

On our way to Baler, we stopped for  a quick photo op. 

Where we stayed in Baler:

 Casa Lamierda
We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. We rented 3 rooms with two double beds each and and extra double bed. It can accommodate 4-6pax per room and we only payed 5k per night for all 3 rooms. It's a new place, it was just opened and operated by Trizha Abul just this year (2015). I can say it's well maintained and clean. There is a clingy dog,Lulu and a very accommodating owner (Trizha).

One of the best moment of the trip is when we have to climb the bakod to get into the house kasi the owner hang out with some of our friends in the bar. We're two groups and nauna kami umuwi,so we were there already with the gate locked and instead of waiting,we decided to climb instead. Wonderful experience! I had some bruises kasi I can hardly lift myself up,there is always this feeling na I might broke the bakod if I put much weight on it.

I'm not a surfer. Period.

I always have this feeling na I don't want to go to Baler kasi I can still remember all the pictures of my ex and the girl behind his cheating(2nd). But thus time, I don't have anywhere to go and with the hope of meeting new friends, I just said yes at the last hour. Literally.

It's been a while since our last out of town and I really miss hanging out with my friends. We just can hang out when we're in the office because of nosy coworkers and pakialamerang ninjas around us but one thing is for sure, when we got a chance, we seize it. A

So we went to Baler, they're excited about surfing and all. Well,I am not at all. 

Truth be told, I was there for some instagram-worthy selfies, so here it is. ;)

This was taken at the Ermita Hills. Before this, we climb uphill for 20 minutes in a muddy rocky hill. Only to find out we can see the same view pala here in Ermita Hills. They enjoyed at the top of the lighthouse kahit naka-lock sya, what they did is-- trespass, climb over the gate and up to the lighthouse. Better safe than sorry for me. LOL

So we planned to have sunrise in our itinerary but we woke up late, it was drizzling but I still got a chance to get a shot of my "Good Morning Baler" picture.

Few minutes before we left Casa Lamierda, photo op muna with the girls and of course, Jarie-babe :)

Remember I told you about the vey difficult uphill trek to a muddy hill? Eto yun. See the afke smiles? We're good at it.

It's been a while since I last climbed a mountain. I might be doing it again real soon.. pag wala nang bagyo.. pag okay na ako.. which is malapit na for sure. :)

I just want to meet Noah's friends (LOL) and take lots of selfie. I don't even have clothes prepared for this so I just bought some two hours before we left Manila.

"It's okay to be impulsive din pala."

When we finally arrived in Baler, I was so thankful---I don't have any feeling of regrets nor do I have feelings of sadness because of sudden flashbacks. It's been a long journey (the pagmo-moveon and the way to B

aler) and I was so thankful I'm finally here. I've let go of all the anxiety I have and I embrace the new beginning, I'm travelling alone, not a solo traveler pero I'm travelling na I'm not with "someone special". It's refreshing. At first,I thought I really can't go to Baler without getting badtrip and all but it's different.

"You can never say you can't unless you're on it and ready to do it."

We've been to sobrang gandang ganda ako na falls talaga and maybe that's the reason why I don't appreciate falls in Baler at all. It looks just like what we have in my hometown in Batangas. Nothing fabulous, just a stream of cold water falling form the top. I don't have much picture kasi if it's not instagram-worthy then I won't take a picture for sure.

Baler is a good destination for surfers but for a non-surfer like me. Maybe I'll rate it 3 out of 5.

What I loved the most in our trip to Baler are my photos. :)

I obviously don't have a "Got-stoked" photo where I'm riding in some great waves of Baler pero I have lots of slefies na natuwa talaga ko.
