Uncertain...but I still dare to try :)

"Pristine and secluded, the beach of Anawangin Cove is fast becoming a popular ourist destination near the Subic, Zambales area. Surrounded by pine trees and carpeted by volcanic white sand from Mt. Pinatubo's eruption, Anawangin cove looks like a winter scene in the tropics. The sands are very fine and the beach is wide. During low tide, the beachfront becomes longer and the waters are calm, making it ideal for swimming. It's Boracay meets Baguio experience."

I have been dying to visit the place since the day I saw it in a photo. I'm a sucker for adventures and nature, so when I knew about what the place has to offer, I immediately planned a trip with my cousins (with a very short 5-day preparation). We were all knick knacks talking about what would and could happen there, too excited for everything and all that.

Unfortunately, the trip didn't happen. All because of the old folks' reasons of accidents and beliefs of supernatural creatures that, they say, might lure us to the lost portions of the place. Damn! Talk about bad vibes! Why would they even think negatively in the first place?

ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. If it is your time to go, you'll go then. You can't defy what's meant to happen. Even more, you can't lock yourself in a room believing you can avoid accidents from taking place. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. 

I'd rather go out there, explore, discover and eventually...die adventurously. HAHA

My dream of exploring the secrets of Anawangin became just a dream, just a written desire in my diary. I stopped thinking about it for a moment. But from time to time, I picture myself spending a day or two doing nothing but relax, explore and be awed with the experience.

I'll soon be graduating from college this March 2013, and for my last tour, I want it to be in Anawangin. There's another belief that Filipino's have been accustomed to - graduating students are more prone to accidents. Hmmm..

I don't know if this is true but even if it is or is not, I would still push this trip. I don't know, there's something about this place that entices me too much, I just have to go.....:)
