Procrastinating @ Caragman Cove

Procrastinating is the art of doing nothing. WHAT? an ART? Well, let me qualify a bit. It is true that we are always told not to delay things or don't put off tomorrow what we can do today. But here in Caragman Cove, life is very simple if not slow. No one seems to be in a hurry because they have one of the most precious thing in the world - time. People here seem to have everything they need. A mini-forest to fetch for crops and a sea to haunt for their fish. There is no electricity here but folks here never seem to mind for they have the beach for their recreation. And if you happen to visit this place, you could not help yourself but also to take things easy. Just walk along the shores of the fine sand beach, taking photos of their amazing landscape, inter-acting with people and just basically do nothing. In Caragman Cove, procrastinating is an art.

Who dare not Procrastinate?


Caragaman Cove is located in Bagac, Bataan and just a few minutes boat ride from Looc Cove and Paitan Cove. To go there, check my previous entry on Paitan Cove.

I would,,--if i will be in such a lovely and beautiful place...i would just stay roam and engross my thoughts with the beauty of creation---

It must be sooo wonderful there,, hmmn---look soooo peaceful.

Great post!

dyosa said...

I love the serenity of the place. It's hard not to procrastinate when you're in a wonderful place like this. Ah, life is definitely good.

luna miranda said...

looks like paradise on earth. the top photo is beautifully composed. the last photo is tranquil---i could almost hear the gentle sounds of waves.

Borneo Falcon said...

Very nice photos here. Like it. Wish I could be there to relax

Allan Barredo said...

bilib ako sa iyo bro sa pagpili ng destinations! the first photo is beautiful! pag babalik ka dito pasabit ha :)

Sidney said...

Wow...that is beautiful... and you managed to capture all this beauty very well...
I like how you played with the DOF.

Everlito (ever) Villacruz said...

kahit ako di na maiiwasan tanggalin ko ang paa ko sa pagkakatapak sa lugar nyan..paraiso!


p.s
pards anu ba maganda camera ngayon...ok lang ba yung bago ngayong nikkon d90?

the donG said...

sa itsura pa lang ng cove, sa kalmadong tubig at sa parang pribadong lugar, siguradong mapoprocrastinate ka talaga.

panalo din ang weekend natin. sulit na sulit. salamat. salamat.

PUSANG-gala said...

is this place residential or private? parang mahirap atang marating. you still have to rent a boat. although that's part of the beuty of it. kung madaling hanapin sigurado super dami ng tao and it could spoil the peace of the place.....

Lawstude said...

@ mys lyke mee - it was peaceful indeed and a nice place just to doze-off.

Lawstude said...

@ dyosa - life is good and thanks to places like this, life is much simpler.

Lawstude said...

@ luna miranda - thanks. the waves are gentle indeed because there are no rain or heavy wind that day.

Lawstude said...

@ borneo falcon - thanks. so relaxing indeed.

Lawstude said...

@ allan barredo - cge bro, sama natin si dom tapos libutin natin uli yung place.

Lawstude said...

@ sidney - thanks sidney. the place really is beautiful in a rural way.

by the way, what is DOF?

Lawstude said...

@ ever - hala. wag naman paa kasi di ka na makakalakad nyan. pero pwede ka naman gumulong na lang sa buhanginan.

parekoy, canon user ako eversince eh. pero wala naman ako masasabi bad against nikkon. ok siguro yun.

Lawstude said...

@ the dong - ayos nga bro trip natin. nueva ecija-nueva vizcaya-aurora loop. sa uulitin.

Marie said...

What a beautiful spot on earth!
I wish I could visit :)

Lawstude said...

@ pusang gala - most of the coves here are privately owned but they do welcome wanderers in the place.

REDLAN said...

pagtingin ko pa lang sa mga photos, relax na relax ang feeling ko. na miss ko na ang mga ganyang lugar na peaceful kahit walang electricity masaya!

REDLAN said...

uy, hindi na siya busy.

Leora said...

It's so pretty there that I don't think one could call that procrastinating. That's living. I loved especially the photo of the stick or branch up close with the faded bay and beach behind.

aquamarine said...

a perfect place of serenity amidst the chaos of city life..good job!i'm gonna include this in my list of places to visit.
anyway,i appreciate your comment!that's so nice of you,thank you.we hope God will give us soon..

Lois Grebowski said...

looks like a great place to procrastinate...huh? LOL!

I like the photo of the rocky shoreline... sooo pretty. Love the contrast of textures.

lagal[og] said...

oh i can procastinate for days on end oman. with a place as beautiful as this, who cares if the days pass me by?

fishing guy said...

LS: You have captured it so simply. What a neat place, I have a hard time thinking that there is no electricity. That certainly changes everythig. I think rather than calling it Procatination; I would have called it Relaxation. Thanks for this neat trip, friend.

EM said...

I think my son has perfecte3d the art of procrastination. I don't know where he got it from but it's definitely not from me. hehe.

The first picture is the one I love the most. The focus is on the brach and the background seemed to have stepped aside so we can concentrate on the beauty of the tree (shrub?) branches. Lovely!

I can't help not to imagine how the nights are in that island. If there are no electricity, then it would be very dark and the noise of the waves and nucturnal insects are all around. Hmmm... for a city person like me.. it's going to be scary. hehe.. but definitely something to get used to. In time they will be the only thing that will lull me to sleep.

thanks.

Share my point of view... said...

I'm guilty of procrastinating too! Let's not mention it. ;)

Sometimes it's awesome to just sit back and do nothing.

Photo Cache said...

I think I may have found my place to call home since I am the queen of procrastination--just ask my husband :)

Beautifully presented again, thanks for the tour.

george said...

Me quedo con la última es una maravilla de playa.
Un abrazo

Rochelle said...

I would love to go there. How beautiful. Oh, and I have mastered the ART of procrastination! :)

KRIS JASPER said...

I like the photo of that "thorny plant".

Im always fascinated by either clouds, or a zoomed subject.

nice.

Daniel J Santos said...

I do not know what I should say ... I want to be there.

Hilary said...

Fantastic shots. Those angles and perspectives are just amazing. They make me feel as if I'm there.. if only.

janus said...

ganda ng macro shot! galeng!

napadaan!

Lawstude said...

@ marie - the place is really beautiful, so virginal and untouched by civilization.

Lawstude said...

@ redlan - marami pa talagang lugar sa pilipinas na ganito, di pa lang talaga nadidiscover. pero mainam din na di madiscover para mapreserve ang ganda.

Lawstude said...

@ leora - thanks. i try to experiment on using zoom lens on close subjects. i like the effect too.

Lawstude said...

@ aquamarine - its really different from the busy urban life, it is more laid-back there and no one seems to be in a rush.

Lawstude said...

@ lois grebowski - if you need to relax or procrastinate, then this is the place for it lol. thanks.

Lawstude said...

@ lagal[og] - i agree oggie. we all need places like this to relax sometimes.

Lawstude said...

@ fishing guy - relaxation works fine for me. thanks for dropping by.

Lawstude said...

@ em - that is one of my fave shots too. i have taken than shot while i was sitting under a tree and noticed the fine features of that branch. glad you like it.

Lawstude said...

@ share my point of view - i long for the times to do nothing and this place offered me just that. thou i can't help myself snapping pictures once in a while.

Lawstude said...

@ photo cache - lol, then this is your place. i would love to accompany you and let us do nothing for days.

Lawstude said...

@ george - gracias senor.

Lawstude said...

Vanessa said...

Thank you for another wonderful tour. I love the first pic.

Indrani said...

The beach shots are tempting! I wish I could wet my feet there.

alicesg said...

Very lovely photos of the beach. Like the clear blue sea. I have a beach photo for my world too but our beach is not as beautiful as your part of the world.

Neva said...

What a lovely place.....I would love to see this in person!

~~m$. DoNNA~~ said...

what a journey it has been... kainggit.. sana makarating din ako dyan sa mga lugar na yan :)

Louise said...

I think that is an art I need to learn. I'd prefer to do it with electricity, but maybe I could adjust.

Nanaybelen said...

Ang ganda at kalmado nga ang place .
Mabuti naman at kaunti pa ang tao at di pa gaanong dinadayo ng mga bakasyonista.

acey said...

Rintjez said...

Lawstude said...

Lawstude said...

Lawstude said...

@ john - thanks. glad you like them.

Lawstude said...

@ raft3r - based on experience, i definitely would recommend flying to dumaguete and have a side trip to siquijor.

if mindanao is included, then go to Davao City and have a side trip at Lake Sebu.

Lawstude said...

@ babooshka - it is a welcome change to the hussle and bustle life of the metro. nice to know that caragman cove is not alone in this category. :)

GMG said...

Hi Norman! It's always great to land here! And procrastinating would help... ;) I used to say that my favourite sport is sea watching... ;)
