I woke up at 3 pm, and my mind is still foggy. My eyes are still resisting waking up and I can only manage to open it halfway. I saw a ray of sunlight from the window which is facing the sea. It is bright yellow and slightly orange. I remembered what I drew before. It is like this scene. Sunrays coming out from the window, how nostalgic. Sunrays, huh? Wait? What do I want to do again?
Oh, shoot!
I'll watch the sunset. Surely, it will be beautiful from here. Just thinking of it, lifted my spirits and got me fully awake. I jumped out of bed and went to my things. I want to look for my sunblock lotion but I'm too lazy to search the trolley, so I grab my black cardigan and wear it. I grab my shotgun, in case of vultures, as usual. Welp, okay.
To the sea!
I headed to the shore and found a chair under a beach umbrella. Hmmm, lucky. I sit there for a while, looking at the waves of the blue sea. This would be perfect for surfing if I just knew how to, unfortunately, I never had the chance to learn it before. If I try it now without an instructor and judging from those huge waves, I'll surely die. The strong gust of wind that's throwing my hair to my back is refreshing. It makes my mind at ease, maybe this is what they call the Vitamin Sea as a stress reliever.
It seems like the sun will set for a little while longer. I stand up and start walking. I saw a viewing deck on the right side over there. It took me a while to reach the wooden path of the beach deck and at the end of it is a hut. I was mesmerized by the scenery. I can't help but just stand there in astonishment. The previous owner of this resort must be surely a big time.

I sat there for a while as I finally reach the hut. The clear blue seas below my feet make the fishes visible. Probably, they grew in number now since no one here is harvesting them. Ah! I wish I brought my fishing rod, but it will be going darker for a while now, though. I guess the best time to go fishing is tomorrow morning.
After waiting for a couple of hours, finally, that friend of mine which I haven't seen for a long time has come down to greet me. Hello there, beautiful sunset! I was overjoyed seeing it slowly waving its goodbyes to me, saying we'll be meeting again tomorrow.
I remember that I didn't bring a flashlight or a phone with me. I start walking back before it gets darker. I came back to the chair where I left my cardigan and my shotgun, then collect them as I walk back. Strangely, I noticed some markings on the sand nearby. Wait up! Are those footprints? Hmmm, but I didn't walk on that path.
Don't tell me that...
Before I could think of anything, I was on my feet running while tracing the footprints. Unfortunately, it stopped on the road and I saw no one while catching my breath as I stood there. I just walk back disappointed.
When I came back, I opened the gates first. I'm still just hoping that the owner of those footprints will pass by here. I turn on all the lights where I could pass by and headed to the bar. I look for what I can drink here. I don't have the appetite to find something to eat right now. I'll just drown my frustrations away.
Whoah! There's a lot here. White whisky, rum, vodka, Mexican beer, tequila, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and other recipes that you can add to your drinks. And great, there are still ice cubes on the freezer.
I grab a glass and started taking out the things I needed. I'll make a tropical beverage that I remember when the last time that we visited a beach resort in another city. I put ice cubes, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and 2 oz of Vodka. For the final platter, I placed a sliced Lime at the rim of the glass and add a drinking straw with a little umbrella. Gosh, this bar has it all.
Okay, then. Let me introduce to you, my Bay Breeze!

Cheers, buddies!
I took a sip and almost cough. Gosh, it stings! Did I mix it right? It tasted like spice, cream, citrus, and pepper. I took another sip and it's different from the first sip. That's much better. I slowly finish the glass and it was so good that I can't get enough, so I make another glass. As I drink half of my second glass, I started feeling lighter or much preferably good. Haha! This is making me happier, how fun. I might drink this again next time.
A few minutes later, I started feeling numb, though. Yeah, right! This contains 40% alcohol. How can I be dumb to forget it? Well, anyway, I'm becoming less inhibited here. I finish the remaining half and totally collapsed at the bar counter.
That's a dose of Vitamin Sea!
