Hiking 101: Palm Beach and Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse

My friends and I decided to do something outdoor-sy last weekend. One of my friends and I also wanted to do a photoshoot in the area for our styling portfolio.

The weather was nice - bright (perfect for a shoot) and quite chilly (perfect time for me to hang around the beach). We had picnic at the beach for lunch. We bought our staple picnic meal - Hot Star Chicken. One of my friends cooked Bicol Express.

How to hike (Or how not to hike. Hahaha!)

1. Gather friends who are as crazy enough as you to actually hike in style.

2. Wear outfits like these people did.

3. Bring extra clothing items just in case you can't decide what to wear for your #ootd.

4. Bring a photographer friend to join you so you can have the perfect "documented evidence".

5. Two words: 'buwis buhay' - be up for it.

We really intended to take good photos at the top so we wore our fancy aka non-hiking clothes. Hence, it was kind of a struggle to walk. (Well, actually, going up was okay because there was a pathwalk but going down was intense. We took the shorter route of seemingly endless and crooked steps.) Yes, we were aware that it was not the brightest thing to do but hey, the view and the photos that my friend took were worth it anyway. :)
