I took a time-off from work last
Friday (July 20, 2012), hoping to get a pretty good surf that weekend.
Unfortunately, there were mixed-up on plans. My buddy planned to have his
birthday celebration at Marilao Bulacan on a Saturday, and we stayed there up
until Sunday morning due to hell of a rain caused by a tropical depression that
became a typhoon. I end up sick over the weekend. I had fun, with smiles on my
face. Until Sunday afternoon when I received a text message from my Papang telling that there were group of
surfers and some celebrities on our turf enjoying glassy waist to shoulder
waves. I was in despair of that event, asking myself… I could’ve been there?
Unfortunately, even my brother
missed that once a year opportunity. He went home Monday afternoon and doesn’t
have enough time to surf. But he saw familiar group of surfers leaving the
scene and had a smile on their faces claiming that they had a pretty good
session at “Backyard”. I’ve seen
their pictures on their blogs and I can say that it was a good session they
had. Now I’m pissed because I wasn’t there, it’s a once a year opportunity and
I missed it. But at least I’m happy, because there were group who had hand’s full
of the experience.
I’m beginning to think that Backyard was a bit disappointed at me
relocating here in Manila. She’s a bit disappointed that no one is looking
after her. She’s a bit disappointed that there’s no one sharing drama with her
every time there’s an opportunity like that. Maybe she’s just giving me a
lesson that moving out of La Union was a big mistake. I hope not, because it’s
my hometown and I can always come home every time I want. Or maybe she’s just
suffering from separation anxiety? Well, we don’t know. I still remember the
times when I was surfing typhoon swells at Backyard
and there’s no one to share the joy and drama of every ride I had but itself.
Surfing alone was a bit lonely, but my brother and I got used to it. It doesn’t
matter skipping classes just to surf before.
Honestly, I miss our Backyard that’s why I’m lonely. But I’m quite happy because there
were guys who sure had fun.
