This is serenity

I just came back from a very relaxing weekend in Tali Beach, Batangas and I just have this to say: "serenity" is one of my favorite words but I never really knew or experienced the real meaning of it until now.

While sorting out the photos, I was amused by the fact that unwittingly, I was able to follow the beach rules in my previous post.



Wake up smiling
At stunning views like this, who wouldn't?

Flip flops are mandatory
And I didn't mind

Nap often

Feel the breeze

Wear sunscreen
We had sufficient bottles of sunscreen, but board games like DixIt and Cranium were also very effective in making us protected from the evil rays of the sun ;)

Take long walks

Soak up the sun
See the sun's rays? :)

Make a splash

Hang up your towel

Leave the sand at the beach
A little sand between your toes always takes away your woes

Relax and unwind

Look for seashells

Watch the sunrise
I was not able to wake up early enough to catch the sunrise, so will watching the sunset do? I prefer sunsets anyway :)

Ride the waves

Kick back and relax
Diets were suspended, and MANY different kinds of food were enjoyed. I didn't think it was possible to be that full.

Build sandcastles
... in the air?

 And the last and most important beach rule I adhered to: be grateful for this day.

I really had a great time. It has been said that Public Relations is one of the most stressful industries, so it was nice to unwind, relax, laugh, and forget about diets and other what-nots with my ARC family. I love you guys and I am grateful. ♥
