Everyday, I think of going out, venturing back into the world. Leave my cares and worries and go someplace else. On most days, I want to go back to La Union… or as most people fondly call it “Elyu.”
People know me well will wonder why I, a person who always tries to avoid the beach, would ever want to go back to Elyu.
To be honest, I do not really have a definite answer.
La Union is up north and quite a hassle to go to. The first (and only) time I went there, it was a sponsored trip which I was kinda required to join. I was hesitant to go alone to a town I have never been to. And that time, I did not have any friends in La Union.

I did not go there to surf nor to lay on the beach. I went with just the itinerary and the task to take some photos and post some stuff online. Pretty basic.
But that trip turned out to be one of the best I have ever been to.
My Elyu
I went on the trip with strangers and literally ended up with friends and so many memories crammed in just three days. The moment I stepped on the beach, I was captured. It reminded me so much of Dahican, my favorite beach.

The vibe was super chill. There were lots of people and many things to do and yet it was not frantic or overcrowded. Small resorts and food establishments dotted the beach and the highway.
That we went on a weekend when there were parties happening made it even better for me.
