This is the first weekend of February, and I know that everyone is enjoying their weekend right now with their loved ones, as this is the only time that we could use to rest and give time to our family.

What are you doing right now? As for me, I'm just doing the same thing every day. scrolling through all my social media accounts, watching some series that I liked to watch. Etc.

As I was scrolling through my feed, I finally saw @galenkp 's blog for this weekend—engagement concept prompts for this first weekend of February! I love joining in every weekend's weekend engagement concept made by him. I can share some thoughts every weekend, and I could do something while I am bored.

This weekend, there are many nice and good topics to answer again. But this is what I choose:

Beautiful on vacation
Describe the most beautiful thing (not person) you have seen whilst on vacation. Explain it, the situation and moment you saw it, why it was so beautiful and how it made you feel. Use photos you took yourself (because you saw it yourself after all) and write at least 350 words.

Because I remembered my two days of vacation with my sister and my sister's friends in Burgos, Pangasinan.

I really don't like traveling to very faraway places since Burgos is so far from our place. But I wanted something to give me peace and freedom to think because I was too stressed before because I was the breadwinner of our family. Money was giving me headaches back then. It's a good thing that my sister and my sister's friends are planning to go on a 2-day vacation to one of the beaches in Burgos, Pangasinan. So even though I am an introverted person who just lives inside the room and never gets a chance to talk or get close with my sister's friends, I still gave myself a chance to travel and breathe. I don't really mind and have set aside that thing about myself just so I can experience a vacation too.

Anyway, the beach that we visited in Burgos is Cabaongoan Beach「¹」 . It was near the famous tourist spot in Burgos, which is the Depth Pool or it's also known as Death Pool「²」.

I really did enjoy the view there. We started to travel at 3 a.m. And we arrived there at 5 a.m. So we can see the sunrise from the beach. So the first thing that we did when we arrived was to climb on the big rocks so that we could see the scenery on the right side, which is where the depth pool was located.

Seriously? I still remember how hard it was to climb these big rocks! I am not a fan of hiking because I have short legs. But, thanks god! I managed to climb, so I got a chance to see the beautiful view above and take a picture of the beautiful scenery that morning.

I loved the view when I was on top of the big rock and could see the whole view of the sea. And as expected, the scenery makes my mind refresh, and I forget a lot of thoughts. It's been a while since I could hear the calm sound of the waves. And that's it! This is the vacation that I wanted.

One of the best things that I wanted to see in the sea was the sunset. Since the sunrise when we were at the top of the rocks didn't show up because it was in a different direction, all we could see was the sunset.

So, I waited for the right time so I could watch the sunset in the evening.

The first time that I saw a sunset like this, it made me feel like I wanted to thank God for the opportunity to watch it. I was very sad at that moment while looking at the sun while it bid good-bye to me because, at that time, it was my dramatic moment. I couldn't breathe at our house back then, and I was too tired of everything, but it wiped away after seeing this scenery. It was so relaxing for me, though it was scary at first because of the color and how it looked when I was near.

When I was a kid, I never got a chance to watch the sun set. It was very rare for us to travel because we didn't have money. So, at that time, it was my first time watching something like this. So for me, while I was on vacation, this is the most beautiful thing that I have seen.

I don't remember if I already shared the two images above in one of my previous blogs, but I still uploaded them here since they were also part of the vacation where I took the picture for my entry in this blog, and I hope it's still okay.

So this is all for today! I hope you enjoyed reading this blog of mine. Thank you for reading!
