Chasing The Last Golden Hour Of Surfing Break

Happy new week, amazing people!

It's Monday again. How does it get here so fast? Seriously, I'm not sure how that happened. Halloween is over, and so is Oktoberfest for those who celebrate it. We're already looking forward to my favorite time of year and most kids' favorite—Christmas time. So yeah, I am checking in a little late as I started the week with errands and my daughter is back to school after the long holidays. To catch up, we took a short sunset walk to the beach yesterday afternoon and also enjoyed the last day of Oktoberfest, or surfing break, before it closed.

As the last strains of Oktoberfest activities faded into the distance, my daughter and I enjoyed the last few hours of it while the crowd slowly got thinner. The atmosphere was charged with a unique blend of tranquility and anticipation, as if the universe itself were preparing for the grand finale of the month-long celebration. We were trying to catch the golden hour, and one of our favorite spots to catch it is somewhere close to Kabsat Restaurant, an Ilokano restaurant by the beach.

The sun was beginning to dip, painting the sky with hues of orange and golden yellow. We had to cross that steel bridge with a bamboo fence attached at the back of Kabsat Restaurant, which was a threshold between the hustle and bustle of daily life and the serene beauty of nature. The bridge, with its rustic charm and sturdy structure, was a testament to the beautiful blend of human ingenuity and nature's bounty. The bamboo fence groaned gently, whispering tales of countless sunsets witnessed and secrets shared. I just thought it was beautiful.

Finally, as we stepped off the bridge and onto the sandy beach, the sun greeted us with a breathtaking display. The last rays of the day danced on the water, turning the ocean into a shimmering mirror of the sky. The world seemed to hold its breath as the sun kissed the horizon goodbye, leaving behind a sky ablaze with colors. After our few walks, we headed to our favorite spot, the fishball cart, and ordered ourselves a cup of 30 pesos each worth of fish balls and chicken balls. When we finished, we headed straight back home. It was a good day to end the long holidays.

How was your weekend, my friends? I hope you all had a blast!
