As much as I don't want to jinx any tiny part of the plan by writing it down, I can't help but keep thinking about the trip I'm going with friends in December.I'm sure the girls are thinking about the same, too. (Maybe)
It's been 3 years (almost 4 , actually) since I last went to a beach. Nothing, exactly nothing, excites me like a trip to the beach, especially with friends. I love writing on the soft sand. Building castles on the sand or digging holes in it. <3 I love gazing at the sea, doing absolutely nothing. Oh, but probably holding a chilled mug of beer. (shucks, I'm going with NON-drinkers this time) x( Walking along the beach, at night -- looking up the sky. Riding motorbike or even bicycle. Having lots and lots of seafood. Last, but surely not the least, taking photos! At sunrise and sunset!
Speaking of seafood and motorbikes, I'm not exactly lucky with them.
My skin had horrible break-outs when I came back from the beach second time. It was assumed to be the result of too much 'seafood & coconut water' and 'sunburn'. It was never back to normal despite several months of treatment. (I don't care!)
During last trip to the same beach, a friend of mine had an accident with motorbike -- not a major one though. No one was injured. The thing is he was riding the one, which I was supposed to be on. Which means It could have been me if I did not switch the bikes. I did not know that, of course.
Anyway, I'll take extra-precautions with my skin this time. I'll apply lots and lots of sunscreen before being exposed to the sun. I'll consume only moderate amount of seafood with coconut water. I won't drive motorbike, I will only take bicycle. (Ok, that I can't promise)
There's still a month in-between. But I'm super excited.

I'm worried about jinxing it too. All I wanna do is take lots of pictures ... and I'm not really excited about sea food. People mostly end up getting diarrhea after coming back from the beach, and it sounds like a pain. So I'll have to avoid eating too much sea food. And let alone going the beach, I got major stomach problems after I ate tons of sea food with you at Min Lan street. It was horrible!!
anyway ... let's wish us luck for our trip.
I should call the hotel again to book us a room too.
