While everyone’s going to Boracay and other places where beaches and resorts are present, I did not have enough, say budget, to get to those places. In fact I do have the time, it’s just that I don’t want getting any budget from my parents to get to such places. But then a friend of mine said that there’s a celebration in their place and in turned out to be the City of Balanga, Bataan. I’ve been to Bataan but it was Morong that I visited, close to the nuclear plant situated in that place and I even went to Mt. Samat to see that gigantic cross standing above the mountain. So I got curious to visit this part of Bataan, Balanga. I’ve heard it before but I can’t remember when and where. Nevertheless, my friend said that we will be staying there on Saturday and immediately return at night. When I got there, I was quite astonished (yet again, Bataan) by the place.
We arrived there few hours before Saturday. We slept for a while, got up and went to a park that’s under construction. The sunrise from that shore was beautiful. I remember the time when I went to Morong for the beach and the sunset, and this was equally, quite simply, one of the beautiful scenes I’ve seen in my life.
I love the place, how quiet and calm it is, even the subdivisions. I’m actually happy to see that each barangay has its own chapel/church. A lot of people go to the park but it’s not like in the urban areas where it seems so irritating because of the noise. This place, no matter how many people go, seems so…calm. π
We ended the day by placing frisbee at the park and met with two more friends who were staying nearby. It was fiesta but I only saw part of it. Next time I should stay for a longer time to see how things in that place pan out. π By 8pm, we went to the bus station and got a ride back to Manila.
There’s beach but I did not swim simply because there’s not enough time but the scenery’s enough to make me relax and with good people around, this vacation was more than fulfilling and exciting. I’d love to visit this place once more. π preferably when things are as lively as the time we went there. π
Happy!
