Happened on 21st day of December, some elders, teenage, and youngsters were gathered at the beach that day to relax, unwind, and give time for their selves to have an all out fun...
<p dir="auto">Hello everyone in this community. Its been a while since the last time I posted a travel blog. I know I have missed a lot time to engage with the wonderful people in here. So,today, I will start taking action to do it once again. Without any further ado, I welcome you all to my blog. <p dir="auto">Some elders here in our barrio created a group for those who are still on the process of paying the full payment of their motorcycle. They named it <strong><em>"Motoray" in which all of the members are obliged to give their monthly contribution worth PHP 250.00 each. On the day of the payment, one of the members will get the total amount being accumulated so that he or she can pay his or her monthly contribution on the company where he or she was obliged to pay for the installment. I don't know when it started exactly but it was when I was still in college. As the days and years gone by, the members are growing in number. It was indeed a great help for the debtors. <p dir="auto">When all of the members fully paid their motorcycle, they didn't leave the group. Instead, they decided to continue the monthly contribution for the purpose of having an amount to be spent for special occasions. And last Wednesday, they all agreed to go to the beach. Actually, I am not a member but my Aunt persuaded me to come with them for she wants me to drive her motorcycle. And because I want to join too, yes, I really did come and joined the fun. <p dir="auto">All agreed to go to the <strong><em>"D Heritage Beach" located at San Juan Hilongos, Leyte. It is one of the best beaches near at town though it is not a white sand beach. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/volleyren20/EouACaPwy3QiJbdBa9Keu5EipeeDPqpmckbkBcoGRupZFrvWxMCkWd1gEjqNwHJtCND.jpg" alt="IMG_20221223_151047.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/volleyren20/EouACaPwy3QiJbdBa9Keu5EipeeDPqpmckbkBcoGRupZFrvWxMCkWd1gEjqNwHJtCND.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/volleyren20/EouACaPwy3QiJbdBa9Keu5EipeeDPqpmckbkBcoGRupZFrvWxMCkWd1gEjqNwHJtCND.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">We arrived at the venue around 11:30 AM that day. We used the other route away from the national high away, so that we can avoid the check points, especially that I still don't have my own drivers license. Fast forward, when we got there, some of our companions were started eating and because of that, my Aunt said that we should eat too. <em>"My apologies for not taking a photo of the foods, I am really hungry at that time." Lol. XD. We have <strong>Grilled pork and fish, <strong>Pancit, <strong>Menudo, and <strong>Dinuguan. For refreshments, they prepared <strong>iced juices and <strong>soft drinks. As for the dessert, they prepared <strong>"Biko" <em>(glutinous rice with latik) which looks like this. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/volleyren20/242rtsFdwLCia7QNMaXHF1Va41uVAbHsGAn3W3mfyvEDnJhfaKzTGDmzsCbsQHRU8dM35.jpeg" alt="th (8).jpeg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/volleyren20/242rtsFdwLCia7QNMaXHF1Va41uVAbHsGAn3W3mfyvEDnJhfaKzTGDmzsCbsQHRU8dM35.jpeg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/volleyren20/242rtsFdwLCia7QNMaXHF1Va41uVAbHsGAn3W3mfyvEDnJhfaKzTGDmzsCbsQHRU8dM35.jpeg 2x" /> <a href="https://www.pagkaingpinoytv.com/2014/08/biko-recipe.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link"><em>Image source <p dir="auto">After eating, I went to the beach, all by myself.

Few minutes after, we started the games. As for the prices, they managed to collect a total amount of PHP 1,200 right at that time. One of the highlights is the <strong><em>"Egg Smash Challenge." <p dir="auto">From the name itself, the goal of this game is to smash the egg using a stick while being blindfolded. The only way of the participants to be able to get the chance to smash the egg is to follow the given instructions, so as the direction given by the people around. But before that, they should first turn around five times before starting to trace the spot where the egg was being placed. For this game, we managed to get seven participants including my Aunt. <p dir="auto">I took a video of it which I posted in my facebook account a day after.

are you a witer? really?
Yes Ma'am.
Hmm.. Not exactly what you think Ma'am. What I mean by that is I am a content creator. I called myself a writer because I write blogs in here.
Looked like a fun day!
Merry Christmas!
Yes it is my friend.
We really had so much fun.
Merry Christmas too.
