of the sea (la union weekend trip)

when i met my husband, he was starting out with surfing--i was always of the sea. from 2004-2009 i was almost by the sea every weekend because my family has a house there. i loved the comfort it gave me. it seems that my problems instantly vanish, like magic. but, people grow up, and people get busy. so, i stopped going to the sea, my husband stopped learning to surf. we got married and had a baby...there was no time to be one with the sea.

but hey, sometimes fate does wonders. as our daughter grows, travel becomes easier (no more crying baby in the car). so we started to bring her to the beach little by little. she has already gone three times, this weekend was her fourth. we went to san juan, la union because adam wanted to go practice. i thought i wasn't going to enjoy the trip much as i am kind of exhausted from work lately, however, people were kind and all smiles so...i did enjoy. i didn't get a chance to go into the water though because my little girl insisted on socializing, you know, being quite a charmer when she's in the mood. though i am tired from the trip, i'm happy i got to snap a few photos.










having a toddler in tow really drains the energy out of me. i was supposed to do yoga, but hey there were more, "no, mama, no's!" oh well. one day i will certainly miss her being clingy. we spent the first day playing under a bit of drizzle, watching surfers, people watching. there were few famous acquaintances too...like PSA's paolo soler, and of course the owner of the surf school there, luke landrigan. they were nice enough to chat for a while and to take photos with our little girl. she calls them her surfer friends--"where's surfer, mama? where is he?"

while my husband was busy in the water, me and bean just spent our time on the shore or on the resort premises, barefoot--hopping, running.







we had an early dinner, and an early bedtime because we were so very tired. and i had a splitting headache! the next day we woke up early to go wave watching. the husband went in for another round in the sea. me and my girl played with sand and had a mini-fight because she wanted to go color, i wanted to go take pictures. hehe.










here is bean with luke landrigan. the owner of the place, and one of the best surfers in the country. his little boy is charming too.






it was one great weekend
...and once more,
i am falling in love with the sea.
