Cavite Getaway

09-15-2009 Tuesday

For a few days, I had a temporary break from all the crap in the city when Alex and I went to Cavite. We left Saturday afternoon (09-12-'09), by night time, we're already in Cavite and it started to rain again. We're slightly drenched from the occasional rain on the way, and the plastics that we covered ourselves with isn't enough to keep us dry on the motorcycle.

(Saturday)
By the time we pulled up in the familiar driveway of his older brother's house, I felt like the breeze welcomed us and the surroundings is still as it is like the last time we were there. Everything's so familiar that it comforts me the moment I set foot on the grassy ground. He opened the door and his sister-in-law greeted us with a warm smile, telling us that we're right in time for dinner. No questions asked. Just a warm welcome.

I felt my stomach rumble when the smell of what she's cooking drifted in the air. She prepared a delicious hot soup, perfect for the extremely cold weather. After eating, she showed us the bed where we can rest, and the best thing about it is the thick blanket, resting on top of the pillow. Everything's just perfect, and to lie beside Alex on a cold, stormy night made me drift to sleep faster than any type of sleeping pills I've taken before.

We stayed in Cavite until this Tuesday and I felt myself longing for that place. Everything about the place makes you wanna come back to it. The friendly people, the cold weather, the breathtaking views, and being away from the stress in the metro. I brought my handy cam of course, and I suddenly found myself interested in photography. I guess it has something to do with the amazing view of the place, that it just hit me that I wanted to capture everything digitally.

Here are some premature photos taken by a newbie me:























I'll be posting our pictures tomorrow. I'm dead tired now, so yeah...
