There is no denying the beauty of the sun's light that illuminates the quiet morning beside the sea
I'm happy when Saturday and Sunday come because I can relax and spend more time by the sea watching the sunrise without rushing. I have more time to stay and stare at the rising sun. But, every morning buddy and I had always time to walk near the sea.
I'm so excited every morning at what shape and a mixed color I see when my buddy and I reach the end of the port especially how beautiful I see in the expanse of sea water. But we do this every morning.
At low tide, you can see the dry part of the ocean and glimpse the mosses in other areas.
Different days with different views are taken in the same part of the beach. Sometimes it feels good when what you see in the morning is the calm and peaceful ocean that makes you feel good, and the view is amazing.
As loud and fun as this dock area is at night, it's just as quiet and peaceful in the morning. Here at the port, especially at night, there are food trips like barbeque and so on. There is also singing called "videoke" in the Philippines which is a popular form of entertainment for people who want to relax while drunk and it is one of the most fun on any occasion. Here in this place, some people go for a walk and others bring food for their dinner with their families. Others just go on a sightseeing trip.
On the side of the harbor at low tide you see these crabs climbing the sea wall concrete, and when they noticed someone approaching where they were, they slowly hid.
Different fishing methods
When I thought my buddy and I were ahead, someone got ahead of us. This picture shows two people standing and they are fishing using a fishing rod.
Part of the harbor is deep; it does not lose seawater. The other part will only appear when the water recedes. It can also be noticed that there are two people in a boat going to the far side to fish differently, sometimes they dive under the sea and sometimes they use a net.
When we got to the end of the dock and were on our way back, I noticed this moon. When the sun shines here I can still see the moon.
The part of the sea without water is very soft. Sometimes your foot sinks, so it's better to stop wearing slippers. But you still need to be careful with the sharp stones that can injure you.
How beautiful to watch this scene. I stop walking or maybe slow down every time I see something that looks cool.
USBAW View (Sea Side Park)
This is what Usbaw Park looks like where you can walk around as much as possible. We're not the only ones who like to go for a walk in the morning. Some friends are together, I have also noticed two young women in their forties to fifties who are always together. Some men don't come at the same time but walk together. There was also a grandfather with a granddaughter, and some teenagers walking in a group.
The USBAW and Port Bridge
USBAW and Pantalan Bridge connect both sides for people who want to cross at both ends. We pass by it every time we walk. I have never seen before that when the sea water is high it reaches the bridge.
When we walk, we don't always go around Usbaw Park, sometimes we walk along the road near usbaw park. It is better to walk for a long time and sweat because of the movement and distance of walking and while the sun is not yet shining.
When we are at Usbaw Park and it's time for our break, we go back to the Port area to buy hot drinks and a biscuit that will be our partner in our drink.
Vendo (Coffee/Hot Choco)
After our early morning walk, we decided to have coffee by the sea while watching the sunrise.
When we get to where the vendo machine is, I just drop a five-peso coin (use the old five-peso coin with gold color) and just press the button you want to buy or choose to drink (What I chose was the hot Choco for both of us.) When you are done choosing automatically the cups will drop from inside that machine and the drink of your choice will come out. Be careful when you pick up the cup with the drink in it because it is hot. The cup they use is like a thick paper cup. Worth five pesos drink it is enough for me, unlike those drinking big cups.
Drink Hot choco in the Morning at Usbaw Park
After we bought our hot drinks, we crossed the bridge back to Usbaw Park. There we enjoyed our hot choco while talking and watching the sunrise. We bought our Rebisco crackers and sky flakes at a store (limited stock store) near the vendo machine for ten pesos for each biscuit.
