Good day, my dear Hivers!
@itsmemic once again !
Today, I’m excited to share how I spent my day with my friends.
There’s something special about unexpected free time—no classes, no deadlines, just a whole day to enjoy. And what better way to spend it than with my entire circle of friends, all present, making memories together? Since we had no classes, we decided to take a break from school stress and go for a swim. The excitement was real! From planning where to go to finally jumping into the water, every moment felt like a much-needed escape.
Spontaneous Plans, Exciting Adventures
After our class, we started planning where to go for our beach trip. I asked, “Where should we go swimming?” and my friends suggested Odlot. We all agreed and decided to pitch in ₱100 each since there were eight of us. Everything was set, including our budget. Our call time? 9 AM the next day.
But of course, things didn’t go exactly as planned (as usual!). I ended up leaving my house at 11 AM. When I arrived at my friend Kat’s house, only Lavester was there.
The rest? Nowhere to be found yet!
Meanwhile, Kat had already been to the market and bought ingredients like spices, fish, and pork for our pancit bihon.
Since neither Kat nor I knew how to cook pancit bihon, we asked Lavester, and luckily, he knew how! While he started cooking, I helped clean the fish, getting it ready for grilling later at the beach.
Final Preparations and the Journey Begins
Minutes later, our other friends started arriving one by one. Everyone pitched in—some helped arrange the plates and rice, while others were busy chopping the ingredients for the sauce. Two of them even went out to buy lechon manok and soft drinks, since we realized we still had extra money left.
Once we finished the pancit bihon, we then gathered everything, filled up on foos and were finally ready to leave!
The Road Trip to the Beach
To fit all seven of us, we took three motorcycles and rode off toward our destination. The drive itself was exciting—wind in our hair, music playing, and endless chatter and laughter.
As we passed Libertad, Bogo City, we made a quick stop to refuel the motorcycles before continuing the trip.
First Impressions of the Beach
After a few minutes, we finally arrived at Odlot Beach—and wow, what a view! The sea extended endlessly, and even from afar, we could notice the clarity of the water.
It is clean, calm, and ideal for us to enjoy a much-needed vacation.
We were going to set up food when we realized something—we forgot to bring a mat or anything to place our food on the sand! None of us had thought about it!
A friend quickly suggested renting a cottage for ₱150, which proved to be an excellent idea since we still had enough money. Problem solved!
Fun, Food, and Friends
Once we settled into the cottage, we divided the tasks again. Our two guy friends took charge of grilling the fish, while the rest of us took the opportunity to take photos by the water.
Just as we finished our mini-photo session, the grilled fish was finally ready to eat.
We laid the food on the table, took some aesthetic food shots (because why not?), and of course, snapped a little bit of selfies. In this time, there were only seven of us, since one of our friend has not yet arrived. That didn’t stop us from eating, though! We ate and savored the meal; it was simple but very satisfying, especially with the perfect beachside view.
Time for a Swim!
Now all that was left after eating was to dive into the water! Without wasting time, we ran for the ocean, letting the cool waves wash over us. We laughed, played around, and enjoyed every moment.
We spent hours of swimming, talking, and having fun, entirely losing track of the time. However, as the sun was beginning to set, we knew that it was right to head home.
The Perfect Escape
Tired but unbelievably happy, we packed everything, cleaned the site, and got ready for the trip back. That one spontaneous day of no classes suddenly became one of the most memorable bonding time for me and my friends. Sometimes you just need that little break, delicious food and the best company to spend time with to create unforgettable memories.
And that's all, my dear hivers! Thank you for reading!
