Memories of a Beach Bum

Posted by Bryan Karl | Tuesday, June 30, 2009

I grew up loving the sea. When I was a kid, I was accustomed to being brought to the beach every Sunday after my aunt goes to church. That became a habit since my aunt also has a beach house two towns away from our place. Well, that's the reason probably why I have "tanned" skin now.

All I could remember about those days are the walking sessions on the beach when the tide is low, seeing the different starfishes on the sea floor, avoiding the sea urchins and just strolling around. I also knew then childhood friends (which I have no contact with anymore) Ryan, Gladys and I forgot the others. It was Ryan and I who used to walk around rocks looking for fishes and even found a sea snake once. Those were the days, but the beach affinity doesn't stop there.

Until college, I still am addicted to the beach. Swimming is my thing. I always love to swim to the deep. For the past three years as a computer science student, we always have out acquaintance party on the beach. As usual, it won't be complete without me plunging into the water under the scorching heat of the sun. Talk about skin damage. During our Christmas two years ago, my friends and I also spent the party at the beach. One of the most memorable Christmas parties I got.

For this year, I think the next beach getaway would be for the acquaintance party again. Well I don't know with their plans, but I'm up for anything.

The beach will always be a home for me. Its naturalness will always make me want for more. I just hope I could spend more time unwinding at the beach now at the busy moments of my life.
