Work-life balance is one of the benefits (lacking for a proper term) the company where I work boasts a lot. They sure do give us that alongside some budget to do a little R&R anywhere the team wants :)

My team <3

That's why last February 19-20, our team had a short vacay at Bolinao in Pangasinan. It was a quick one as we had to go back to Manila the next day.

We first dropped by Manaoag Church early in the morning.



We got at the resort around lunchtime already since one of our convoys got lost. Haha! Cooked our meals then headed to the beach right after.

White beach!

Later in the afternoon, we toured the small town of Bolinao. We went to Bolinao falls where we did a bit of boating and cliff diving.

These two are just so pretty, no?

4pm na. Fresh ka ba? HAHAHA

The girls who jumped

We went back to the beach afterwards to watch the famous Bolinao sunset.



The next day, we went island hopping. The tides were high on that day and it was raining a bit which made our boat rides a lot more fun and thrilling, I must say. :P There was an area with a beautiful rock formation. We climbed that specific rock and jumped from the top, 35ft above sea level.

35ft, baby.

With the locales

Hah! Time definitely wasn't enough for this trip. There's so much more to see in Pangasinan and a lot more to talk about ourselves. Hopefully, we get to do another one before our demob dates :P Thanks team and hope you liked the video compilation I made <3
