my first time in Anawangin last year was a memorable one, despite the rain and the huge waves that come with it and some "supernatural" experience, i remember being mesmerized by its natural beauty. i promised myself to be back.
last weekend, that promise was fulfilled. Yapak Mountaineers had its first team building in Anawangin (the area, especially Pundaquit, is now the favorite location of some of boobtube's primetime soaps like Marimar, Kung Fu kids, Maging sino ka man and was featured last year in The Probe Team), and i realized that Anawangin is even more beautiful when the sun is up, when there's no rain and the water is calm.
i giggled with excitement, not with the team building but with the anticipation of a better weather for an endless photo ops! i am bad i know hehe
the team building took the whole saturday, but it doesn't stop me from taking some shots, besides, i am not the only one hehehe.
the discussions and group dynamics were fun and actively participated in (i even had a mini-monologue when the topic shifted to knowing your priorities and touched budgeting, whoa!).
anyways, when the activity was about to end, we were asked to go on the shore for meditation, but i cannot concentrate because i was facing the sun directly and it's so hot! so i just excused myself and do this. :)
after the team affirmation, lyn and i went around and explore the area to look for the best spot for sunset (we tried climbing the nearby mountain where i took one of my all-time favorite shots, naks, but give up the idea halfway as we didn't bring a headlamp/flashlight). but it doesn't dampen our spirit as i just realized that the cove itself is a good spot for sunset.
we'll be in Anawangin again next month...
Happy weekend everyone, Kanpai!

I guess it is difficult to concentrate with so many beautiful girls around you... ;-)
Very artistic pictures!
Very nice pictures indeed, Zherwin! The place is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your pics with us. :)
Btw, I hope you won't mind if I link up to your site.
i'm no expert, but i believe one will agree with me that youre getting better and better in taking pictures.
i've been to pundaquit and cpones but not yet in anawangin...hope to explore that someday
Ganda ! is Pundaquit in Zambales?
ganda talaga ng mga kuha mo na pictures! Pwede bang igrab tapos gawin ko na wallpaper sa pc?
masyado ka namang nang iinggit..ang ganda na ng place tapos ang saya nyo pa tapos ang ganda ganda pa ng mga shots :(
Ganda ng last shot. Parang yoga in water. Paradise na paradise ang dating. Napaka-tranquil!
ganda ng probinsiya ko, ano? haha! (sana lang mag-improve. it looks the same since i was kid)
Oh wow, I continue to be amazed at how many beautiful places we have in the Philippines! Homesick na ako..huhuh.
grabe grabe grabe talaga ang ganda ng lugar!!! can't stop saying that over and over hehehe sobrang ganda kasi talaga. magkatabi lang ba ang pundaquit at anawangin? pano ba jan pumunta? pwede ba ako mag tag along sa inyo next month? hehehe.

sidney, ahem, that, too! hehe. :)
thanks.
thanks panaderos. :) no problem, i'll link you up din. :)
lady cess, thank you, i think i need to practice more. :)
tutubi, the sooner the better! tourists are starting to crowd anawangin, and fees are now starting to be collected. punta ka na habang di pa sya nako-commercialize. :)
ysrael, yes, in san antonio, zambales to be exact (ang marimar country!)
jho, go ahead, walang problema. :)
manilenya, kelan ka ba babalik? kelangang mapasyalan mo sya!
abaniko, iba talaga kapag sunset. :)
atticus, isa nga ang probinsya nyo sa mga nauunang mabibiyayaan ng grasya ng pamahalaan di ba? para sa anawangin, sana mag-stay na lang syang ganyan at di maabot ng commercialization.
gypsy, pag-uwi mo, idagdag ito sa mga dapat puntahan. :)
carlotta, sige, gagawa ako ng how-to-go-to-anawangin post para meron tayong guide. :)
OH,my gosh, that's a very beautiful sunset silhouette shot of Lyn....You do have an eye for taking really nice shots Zherwin.
You should have that one printed and framed.
Galing ng last shot! Puwedeng gamiting poster ng Department of Tourism. At talagang namang favorite subject mo ang future missus mo ha? :-D
Haay... Anawangin... now I'm dreaming of going back there. Hehe. Ganda talaga ng place
wow!!!!(not just a simple wow na madalas ng ginagamit. im saying this in its strictest sense)....
nice shots dude! where is anawangin?
are you using a SLR camera for this shots?
gina, thanks, i always have my shots printed, usually in 4R, but when i really like the shot, A4 size agad yun! :)
rudy, sana mabasa ito ng taga-DOT hehehe.
ferdz, ngayong weekend, balikan mo na! :)
wanderingcommuter, salamat and no SLR here, i am a poor point and shoot user and i am still using my five year old digicam. :)
btw, anawangin is in Brgy. Pundaquit, in San Antonio, Zambales.

Hi it's a beautiful place.. We're planning to go there in the mid March. could you help us in planning the details please. Thank you!
allan, hey, nice to see you here. :) me konting bad news lang sa anawangin, some part of the mountain was burned, napaalis tuloy yung caretaker tapos ngayon meron nang bayad (P150/P50 per head, depende kung saan ka magse-setup ng tent). me mga pasaway talagang mountaineer, kakainis.
go ahead, link na rin kita. :)
hun_08_nie, the place is really beautiful. don't worry, i'll make a post about it later. thanks for the visit. :)
