Summer 2016 officially starts.

Summer has official started! Long hot, sunny days, when the sun starts striking stingy rays at 6 am and slows down at around 6:30 pm. I long for weekends of dry crispy hair, banana smoothies, the smell of Hawaiian Tropic, residue of sand on the crevices of my backpack and a leftover lukewarm bottled water in the same bag. I also miss my sore right shoulder, while carrying a heavy bag, regretting that I brought a big towel when in fact hotels provide you with one. Since I'm back in the workforce since November last year, I'm new and therefore, vacation leaves are much of a favor to ask, I will dwell in the past for the meantime, and just share with you my favorites and my most cherished beach vacations in the Philippines I've had for the past 10 years.
