Surfing the waves of La Union 2009


LA UNION

Known to be the nearest surfing spots in the northern Philippines.  We decided to try out surfing three days after Christmas.  After attending my Bene Friends' Christmas party, we went to La Union by Philippine rabbit bus located in Pasay (It'll cost you around Php 400) you can take the night trip and then you can sleep the night away inside the comfortable bus.

Upon reaching our destination, which is SEBAY, we cant check in directly since it is still too early so we decided to have breakfast:  SINIGANG na BABOY and Rice with my favorite Sola Iced Tea!


SAN FERNANDO, La Union

will try out SURFING -Php 400 / hour




The locals' surf boards..one of their means of livelihood





One thing that I remember most about our La Union get away is the fact that my wallet went missing.  The second day we were there, we cant find the keys, it took us an hour before we were able to go out for breakfast.  That afternoon when we were about to check out, I cant find my wallet causing our delay in going back to Manila.  We looked everywhere, we remove the beds, we looked inside the bags, etc  only to find out after an hour that it is under the pillow?  impossible since we removed everything.  It was a blessing in disguise, while we were on the bus going back to Manila, the traffic was bad and we asked the chicharon vendor what happened, he said that there was a bad accident that afternoon (the same time we were supposed to leave ) there was an accident in the SCTEX causing 100 people injured.  In that case thanks to my wallet for acting up!  God works in mysterious ways!
