When I hit the beach, I don’t just go there to bask in the sun and get a tan from lying on my face and back for few a several hours. I make sure that I also bring along my favorite gadgets to keep me accompanied to such a heavenly getaway. I think it’s the perfect place to play music, take good photos and shoot videos that you can later dub music into. Of course, I leave most of my gadgets in my hotel room and I just bring along my trusty and handy large canvas tote bag from J. Crew and I’m off to the beach.

Now let’s have a bag raid. If you take all the stuff I have inside my tote bag out, you will see my Nikon D90 DSLR camera, my Sony Ericsson w902 mobile phone, my Motorola EQ7 bluetooth wireless HiFi stereo speaker, a pair of Oliver Peoples Strummer shades, my Louis Vuitton Murakami Panda Pochette, a pack of smokes, a Zippo lighter, credit cards, some cash and a whole pack of Red Vines Licorice candy twists. I so love the last item.

It seems as if I have brought everything but the kitchen sink. And where’s my towel? I think I forgot to bring my towel. Oh well. Even if I intended to bring my towel, there won’t be any space left in my tote bag for a towel. I could just sit on one of the beach chairs found by the shore in front of the hotel. It’s a beachfront hotel so it’s just natural that they have available beach chairs by the shore.

Then as I approach the spot where I want to just sit around for hours until the sun sets, I wave my hand, signaling the attendant to hand me the menu so I could order for some refreshments while I bask under the sun. He then hands me a large menu with all sorts of yummy food to choose from. Before I get lost in all the pizza and pasta dishes that the attendant has been telling me about, I ask for the best-selling drink that people in the hotel have been ordering. He tells me that the tropical mango shake is what the people have been ordering lately because since mangoes are freshly picked during the summer time, the shake tastes so fresh and addicting. So I ordered for a large glass of mango shake with a cherry on top. Although the attendant said the cherry might sink to the bottom, I told him to just let it sink if it will. Mango and cherry are best combined among all the fruits.

The spot I’ve chosen has the best view of the ocean’s horizon and I was just in time because people were starting to come out of their hotel rooms and they are flocking the beach front. Most of them have their cameras ready for the sunset and some are getting ready for the Luau dinner by the shore, compliments of the hotel for all the guests checked in to the hotel. Now the sun is starting to set, it’s the perfect time to take out my camera. Music has been playing from my portable speakers with mp3 from my mobile phone.

It is certainly helpful to have these devices with me especially here at the beach. In fact, these are the things I bring every time I go out. I just cannot leave without any of it.
