Cabongaoan Beach in Burgos, Pangasinan is considered as one of the top ten virgin beaches in the Philippines primarily because of its isolation and natural and unadulterated scenery. Compared to known beach destinations in the Philippines like Boracay or White Beach in Puerto Galera, Cabongaoan Beach Resort is a bit "far" from what I call "beachalization" or the process of transforming a virgin beach into something highly commercialized. Unlike Boracay or Puerto Galera, there's no banana boating, paragliding, jetskiing and the like in Cabongaoan. So what will you do then? Don't worry I've come up with some highly considerable things that you might also do in Cabongaoan Beach. Here they are:
1. Sleep in a tent. Oh come on! Get out of your comfort zone and sleep outside. You get wet because of the rain? Hmm...it's an experience that you will remember forever. Don't forget the date the first time you slept in a tent.
2. Bury yourself in sand. The last thing you know is someone places an artificial heart on your "sand chest" and you weren't aware that it's there when the photo was taken. Haha! It's cool! Thanks Theresa!

3. Jump Shot. Make sure that one directs how you will jump, what position, etc. Haha! Don't forget to count and jump at the same time. If you don't, you need to do it several times until all of you are exhausted. Haha!

4. Play dead. Just play dead and pretend you are all alone.Think about happiness. Think about the most precious people in your life. Think about the person that you love more than anyone else in this world and be happy.

5. Groupie in the sand. Well, who cannot resist and powdery yellowish sand? Don't forget to bring your monopod.

6. Swim and beat the waves. It doesn't matter if you get sunburn. Afterall, you went to the beach to get tanned.

7. Drink coffee. Who says "coffeeing" is not allowed at the beach? No one, I guess.

8. Meditate. Just stare at the sea. That's it! On a physical level, meditation, lowers high blood pressure, lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks, decreases any tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems

9. Take a photo of your shoes and bag. I swear. It looks cool.

10. Show your abs! Like what Amos did! Look! I wish I have abs too. Haha!

11. Pray. Pray as early as five in the morning and thank God for his creation. Pray because you are happy and you've been given another day to live.Thank him for everything!
12. Be happy! Ryza Mae Dizon always say "Bawal ang sad. Dapat happy." Cherish every moment with the people you are with. Every moment is precious. Be happy.
13. Cover your face while someone is taking a photo of you. Not a bad idea, right?

14. Befriend someone and ask him/her to take a photo of you. Because you want a photo of you and your companion to not look like everything was taken with your stretched arms, ask someone to take a photo of you instead. Be nice though.
You, too, can come up with your top things to do in Cabongaoan. I'll leave it up to you. I don't want to overthink. Haha! Good luck!
