Despite the hurricane warning of CNN and PAGASA, we still pushed through with our plan. Like I said, “Let God’s will be done!” Hehehe. For some reason, all of us were feeling very brave that dawn, without a care in the world. But of course, I still checked out the weather forecast on the internet when we got home. And it says that it’s signal # 2 in Iba while it’s signal # 1 for the rest of Zambales. We won’t be reaching Iba. Our destination is only up to Pundaquit, San Antonio. So meaning, we’ll only encounter signal # 1 of the storm. Very easy. Hahahaha!
Peter is bald again and trying out the waters of Pundaquit.
So we all met up at 7-11 near Quezon Ave. MRT station. While waiting for Dino, us girls did some food shopping for our trip.When he got there, we also tried withdrawing some cash at a nearby ATM to no avail. Oh well!
Watching Dino surf for the first time…
By 5am, we were already on the road to pick up Ode at Meycauayan, Bulacan. Then off we headed to San Antonio, Zambales.
Night of drinking, dancing and singing…

more of our drunken state as Dino sings MY WAY…
We reached Megan’s Resort at around 8am. Just as we predicted, there was no wind at all. The sky was overcast and to our disappointment, no waves for surfing too. On the other hand, it will be very easy to cross the sea and go to Capones and Camara Islands. Boat rental is only P600 good for 5 persons and it will only take around 25 minutes to cross the sea. BUT, Ate Rose texted Peter urging us all NOT to venture seaward. She’s very concerned that the typhoon might hit our area any time and we might be left stranded on an island. Point taken.

After checking-in, we rested a bit. We got this room that already has 2 king-sized beds and hot & cold shower. It’s priced at P2800 less 20%. The seven of us divided the cost and voila! It came out very cheap. Not bad! Not bad at all!
So near…yet so far…
On our first day, we explored the beach, tried the water, went to the estuary and in the afternoon, I was able to rent a surfboard from a local for P800 for 24-30 hours. Cool! The boys surfed until their bodies ached while us girls just watched by the beach.
Reaching Capones Island at last!!!
