Pangasinan Trip: Manaoag Church

Before the memorable trip began, I already packed all the things that I need to bring on the beach. Introducing my aloe vera gel, sunblock from Beauty Love, and Belo facial sunscreen. These are things that I bought last time, and I agree that they are a bit pricey. I really wish na makapag-beach rin kayo. Personally, I'm not using them that every day since I'm lazy. In addition, I don't have enough budget to maintain it.

For me, buying clothes on the beach is not that essential, as I'm not a photogenic guy. I'm also not excited much on the trip because I was a bit worried on leaving my two dogs. But don't worry, we enjoyed.

Before we slept, my mother reminded us repeatedly to prepare the clothes and essentials that we needed. She gave us two bags good for us where we will be putting our clothes and other things we need. I also brought my fully charged powerbank which is greatly important for this long trip.

In terms of foods, my mother bought a lot of chichiryas which is entirely good for the whole family. I thought that I will be only spending less than Php. 300 including the tetra-packed milk, but my mom scammed me. I expected a big change on my Php. 500 as I only ordered four big chips for us, but I didn't expect that my mom will spend it all. I'm just annoyed since that's my only fiat, then ginastos niya pa. I also didn't able to taste the chichiryas she bought since I'm not a fan of them. I'm literally budoled, lol. In addition, my parents also steamed siomai using the rice cooker, and they also cooked some rice.

After I packed the things I need, we just slept at past 11PM. Then, my mother woke me up at 3AM where I only have 4 hours of sleep. We decided to not take a bath that time since the water is cold like we are on the North Pole. We just changed our clothes, and we just waited the XLT near our place. I'm not much a fond of taking photos, so pardon me if I can't attach some photos.

As I expected, there are a lot of relatives who joined us where we are more or less 25 including myself. Of course, while travelling, I just listened to my tita's random chickas. They are just endlessly laughing everywhere where they look like they know each other. Aside from that, my cousins are also having fun with each other, and I just acted sleeping although I can't sleep. I mean, I can sleep, but not that much while we are travelling.

Since I availed Spotify Premium and earbuds, I just listened to my favorite songs while enjoying the view outside like a heartbroken. I don't know if you'll read this, but I highly recommend listening to "SOUR" album while travelling on the long trip.

Apparently, after a couple of hours of waiting, we are finally here in the Manaoag church. Here are some of the photos where we arrived, and all of my Catholic relatives went straight to the church to commemorate their beliefs. We just waited them to come back since we are not Catholic. We just took a lot of photos in every view we like, and the farm is so satisfying to look at. It's been a long time since we visited this church, and I can still remember the big changes after more than six years.

My drunkard uncle also dared us to go near the cow, and they will give us some money. But as we already those kinds of prank, we didn't follow him, and we just spent our time on our different businesses. Good thing that there's a taho vendor roaming around the church, and I'm the one who initiated to buy. This taho is already 10 pesos, and it's fortunate since it tastes delicious. It's been more than two years since I tasted it if you won't mind.

Unfortunately, my father didn't upload our family photo when we are on the Manaoag which I want to attach here in this article. But anyway, let me share these photos of my Catholic relatives. I won't share countless photos for the sake of their privacy hehe.

And for the next article, I will be sharing our trip in the Tondaligan Beach. I'm sorry if I'm a bit talkative since I want to use this opportunity to write more articles as possible. Hope you don't mind, thank you.
