trip to ilocos: blue lagoon!!

hehe. morning walk along the beach ><

Hello guys!!! just got back from ilocos last friday!! and my gosh i had a great time!! tnx to my friends lol ><!!! 

When Mimay invited me i didn't think twice and said yes!! i will go to Ilocos with you guys!! We left last Monday night right after i finished from work hahaha!!! 

Now, i am accustomed with long road trips with my friends.. But going to Ilocos was different.. wheeew!!! We traveled almost 20 hours just to get to Pagudpud!! My back and Butt hurts so much that i wanted to sleep after each stop overs. lol!! But the view in Pagudpud made the trip worth it. . well that's what I thought... 


We spent a night in Pagudpud.. We just took pictures and my friends had a "inuman session" lol!! >< after that it felt like one of our ordinary laguna trips.. in short it was boring!! hahaha!! there was nothing else to do in Pagudpud!! If you already went in Boracay or Palawan i'm sure you would not help but compare.. 

So early next day. We decided to go to Blue Lagoon.. Kuya Alex, our companion/driver took us there.. And boy!! I am glad we went there!!


This is the picture of Blue Lagoon  when we arrived there. it was a beautiful place.. The Place was just on the other side of the beach and resort where we stayed.. But the difference was visible!! The water looks so blue and clean..(well that' why it's called blue lagoon lol!!) The water is cooler on the deep part and the sand will not hurt your feet lol!!! 






There was one resort in blue lagoon called Hanna's but we did not stayed there lol!! the resort looks expensive lol!!! so we rented a cottage.It was much cheaper than staying at Hanna's lol!!!
sunrise at pagudpud


















The sunrise at Pagudpud was nice .. not too many people was taking a morning dip but a lot of locals were up waiting for their loved ones to come back from fishing.



My group looking for a nice spot in blue lagoon.. ><
























Here with the girls!! Clear water!! lol we also found a floating "dikya" hahaha!!! we thought it was a silicon from a breast implant hahahaha!!!!!!!
















When we decided to go back and pack our things.. the locals asked us if we could join them in fishing and we did!! I mean the boys did!!!@ lol.. my job was to take pictures of them pulling the huge and long "lambat" hahaha!!!










whoa!! boys!! don't stop pulling!!!! hahaha!! there's free fish for every sessions of "pangingisda" hahaha!!!!
