I spent Day 3 in Bicol at Dangkalan Beach in Barangay Ariman in Gubat, Sorsogon with my sister and cousins. It was a gloomy day because of ITCZ. It didn't rain but strong waves greeted us when we reached the seashore. Except for some fishermen and some "local surfers," I didn't see other visitors at the vicinity so we took the perfect spot for camping. We built our tent a few meters away from the shoreline.

I will not further "talk" about my most recent "beach escapade" because I'm extremely busy right now. It's end of month and I've got a lot of things to do. Let these photos below do the talking instead:
