<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On our last day we planned to go to the Echo Valley and to
check out the Hanging Coffins, we woke up early and walked our way near the
basketball court. The day before, I’ve met Dan, he was one of the kids who
offer guided tour going to echo valley and the hanging coffins. He charged P100
per pax. He was a little shy and I started making conversation with him and
asked if he’s still going to school, he said yes and that he and his friends we’re
doing this only during weekends, summer and whenever they don’t have classes,
he said that he save some of the money and give the rest to his mother, good
boy!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He then started pointing directions and telling stories
about the echo valley and the hanging coffins (bumebwelo lang naman pala ang
bata kala ko mahiyain). You’ll already have an idea just from its names.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We’ve reached the cemetery, this was where we stopped
walking on our first day here in Sagada and based on the map we bought you have
to walk thru the cemetery and the map is correct, you really have to cross the
cemetery (as in literal na tawid hehe). Then there was a trail going down and
Dan told us that it’s the area where you can have a good echo, I shouted (pero sablay
pumiyok ako, nagdadalaga ate mo) and it did not sound so good so I just kept
following Dan.</span></div>

hanging coffins. Dan told us that their
ancestors were placed in the coffins like the shape of the fetus that’s why the
coffins were small and that it the higher they were the closer it will be to
heaven and also to protect them from animals. He’ll be one good guide in the
future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On our first day we had our lunch at Yogurt House,<u> </u>it
was already past 1:00PM but there were still a lot of people. There were a lot
of dishes to choose from and we settled for their java chicken and beef curry
and of course I tried their famous yoghurt and ordered 1 serving as Jayjay’s
not that much of a yoghurt fan. They have a big serving and if you’re not that
much of an eater 1 serving will already be good for 2. It was not that
marvelous but it was good and very tasty, we paid P385 for our lunch and make sure not to come here if you're too hungry as it takes some time to serve your food.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We always travel on a budget because it’s one of Jayjay’s
conditions, if it will cost too much he will not join me and this was also my
motto, this was what actually inspired me to finally do my travel dreams, with
good quality research and plan, travelling is actually not that expensive, I
was doing this not to stay in a 3 or 5 star hotels, it may not hurt to eat once
in a while to a fancy restaurant that can only be experienced in that place or
to treat yourself with good food but it’s ok with me if not and will gladly eat
in eateries, what I want more is to experience the place, the food (in Jayjay’s
case), its people and culture (drama ko noh). But seriously that’s what excites
and inspires me to travel. Anyways enough about my dreams, going back. For
dinner on our first day, we went inside the Eduardos Building, this is I think
the largest establishment in town and went to the basement and found several
eateries to choose from, we settled to the first eatery on the left side and
ordered 2 dishes and we paid P215, their serving was good for 2.</span></div>

second day, we woke up at 6:00AM and found out that there was a flea market few
steps from where we’re staying and had our breakfast there. According to the
locals the flea market is open only every Saturdays. They’re selling breakfast,
fruits, vegetables, souvenirs and more. We ate arrozcaldo for breakfast for
P90. We always travel with a 1.5 bottle of mineral water and just refill it to
save on money, there was a water refilling station at the first floor of Sagada
Guesthouse and we just had our bottle refilled, it’s P5 for a 1.5 liter bottle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was such an experience and we were in awe with the
natural beauty of the cave that we decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner.
We decided to eat at Salt and Pepper Diner, we were hesitant at first because
there was no other people eating considering it was dinner time, we ordered pork adobo and pork barbecue. It was just our first bite and we were very satisfied
there was something with their dish that seems to pop on your tongue and enjoy
this very delicious flavor (OA ko ba?), seriously that’s how we felt, we were
very satisfied with what we ate and was worth paying P330. Even when we came
back to Manila we’re still dreaming of their food LOL!</span></div>

are several organizations offering guided spelunking in Sagada and we decided
to go with SAGGAS, we were hoping that we’ll met a person or two whom we can
share the guide fee but good thing we did not met anyone as it will be more fun
and you’ll learn a lot if the two of you has 1 guide. Gareth </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">was our guide from SAGGAS and it cost P500 for

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We stopped at what seems like an observation deck and he
pointed to something down the cliff and there were few coffins hanging on the
rocks and some were on the floor, he said that it was one of the burial places
of their ancestors but there’s a lot around Sagada.<span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We continued walking and he also continue telling us stories
about Sagada and its people, the good thing about having a local guide is that
you learn about the place, its culture and people. I never felt awkward with
him unlike other guides that you cannot bear to speak because it was too
awkward or uncomfortable, I commended him for his guiding skills and he said
that there were 2 types of guide in Sagada, first is the hardcore guide and the
second is the turo-guide (me sense of humor pa si kuya ha). He has been guiding
Sagada visitors for years now, he said that he started this when he was about
10 years old and by that time they have already memorized the trails and has
been to almost all of the caves in Sagada.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He then lead us to a downhill trail, another challenging
trek but tolerable. It was kinda steep and I was already thinking about the way
up hehe. At the end of the trail is another burial site where more coffins were
stocked on top of each other, it was located at the mouth of a cave, Garrett
told us that those doing the connection cave enters starts in this area and
will take around 2-3 hours depending on your phase. Due to limited time and
soon to be sored muscles we decided to just do the Sumaguing cave instead of
the connection cave. He said that this is where they gauge physically their
visitors so they’ll know how they will pace on the cave, looks like we did ok.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the jump-off point I got excited, the last time I went
spelunking was back in college. According to the guide who just got out of the
cave there was a good line going down and that the crew of Aga Muhlach’s Pinoy
Explorer show are already inside. Not only Garreth a very good guide but also a
good photographer and he willingly took the camera from me and he took our
pictures, it will be better if you’ll bring an underwater camera or like us a
digicam, the way down was steep and very slippery due to bat poop and you will
not want to ruin your expensive dslr or tire your guide with carrying your
tripods. I was surprised that Garreth knows how to set up the settings of the
digicam and he told us that they also learn how to do that. According to him
ideally 1 guide is good enough for 4 people but he said that it’s best if it’s
only 2 people as they can fully concentrate on guiding the visitors and light
their path. There was a group in front of us and I think they’re 6 in the group
and their guide would go back and forth trying to light the path of those in
front and come back for those at the back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was nothing spectacular yet at the first part of the
cave aside from the bats’ poop but when Garreth told us that we need to go
barefoot from where we were that’s when the beauty of nature started. The cave
floor and rock formations were like made of anti-slip rocks and your feet will
get a good grip and will not worry about slipping. Garreth will tell us story
behind each formation with matching humor on the side and will also make you
guess why it was called like that, if this was a quiz I surely flunked, my
guesses were terrible even Jayjay can’t help laughing at my answers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was a part where according to Garreth those who do not
wish to pass what seems like a water basin can go that route and it will lead
you again to the way up. Who does not want to do that? Not us for sure, we did
not travel all the way here to pass this adventure noh! But I was surprised
that there were no more people following us, too bad they did not want to try
it. You need to crawl inside a small
opening then walk thru the walls with the help of a rope, Garreth showed us
where to put our feet and where to hold (panis! Hindi man kami pinagpawisan,
well si Jayjay pawisin talaga pero panis din sa kanya). The water was chest deep
and was so cold (sabi ko naman senyo mahina ako sa lamig e) my teeth was
chattering and I thought I felt a little numb (OA ko hehe), it was really cold
and we even shouted when we touched the water and smoke comes out of our mouth
and even from our clothes (we’re smoking cold!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We then saw Aga Muhlach going out of the water on his
sweaters haha. Then the next portion of the cave according to Garreth was the deepest
part of the cave. There was a small opening with water and he told us that it
was deep and there were already people who researched how far the chamber was.
We then heard people’s scream of delight and we instantly knew that Aga and his
crew were seen by the other groups. The three of us continued to do our
spelunking and I did not pass the opportunity to have them take my picture with
Aga (pang background ko lang sila nila Bayani at Roel Santiago).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More rock formations were shown to us by Garreth and I
remember back in college that stalactites and stalagmites if touched by human
hands die because of the oil or acidity I think, Garreth told us that the rock
formations were actually dead and they will not grow anymore, good thing they
were able to form into imaginative things before they died. If you have a good
imaginative mind you’ll be able to see a lot of things inside the cave. I did not include the other pictures as they were MTRCB-sanction worthy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After having our breakfast on our second day, we rode a
jeepney going to Bangaan in front of Eduardos Building which cost us P20 each
and after 15 minutes we were already at the information center of the Bomod-ok
Falls. We met Princess with her mother on the jeepney and they asked us if
we’re going to the falls and asked us if we want to divide the P500 guide fee,
but of course! We registered our names and off we trek! The first section of
the trek was downhill and there was a part where you can see the top of the
falls but it was still far from where we are. After 30 minutes we arrived at
Fedelisan village where we were given a new guide Ate Martha and this is where
you pay the guide fee of P500 plus P10 per head for the environmental fee, that
was P135 each for the four of us. There’s also a comfort room where you can
freshen up and they let you borrow their bamboo sticks that you can
use as a trekking pole.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We again started our trek it was an awesome view, nature at
its best. We walked through fields and we were on the mountains it was
breathtaking. It took us an hour to reach the falls and good thing we were
early because there were just one group and they’re leaving and we have the
falls to ourselves. I don’t know how to swim and as much as I want to jump I
can’t as it was deep and Ate Martha told us that you have to be a good swimmer
if you wish to jump because the water is too strong. With that I just enjoyed
the view of the majestic falls. I may not be able to jump from the highest
point I just jump from the small rocks at the lower part of the falls hehe. </span></div>

with cold weather and when I dip on the water my teeth were grinding but the
more I soak my body and keep it under water the more I get used to it. Jayjay
was also enjoying the water and he was all smiles. There were kids around
offering foot massage and I decided to try it and they told me to give any
amount I wish, I don’t want to tire them and at their age they should be
enjoying childhood and not working, after like 5 minutes I gave the 2 boys P50
(ang kuripot ko ba?) I think that at their age it was already a big amount and
when I was their age I was thought not to be greedy (mukhang kuripot nga ata

playing. People started arriving and it can get a little crowded, we decided to
stay for just an hour as it will be a long hike up. We took a different route
going back and took the trail going to Aguid which was not as steep as the

nights vacation but we ended up going on an overnight trip due to schedule
conflicts. We decided to go to Morong Bataan. I’ve been to Bataan before and
what I always remember about Bataan was its big scary waves. We used Donnabel’s
van and left Manila at around 9:00AM. We had our stopover in NLEX and arrived
at Morong Bataan at around noon. If you plan to buy ice before heading to the
resort of your choice do it before you enter Morong (OA presyo ng yelo sa
kanila as in, nag-init kaming lahat sa tindero, me ice pick lang sya e hehe).
But you may buy food and groceries in town.</span></div>

reserved. We then went down to Philpan Dive Resort where the boat will pick us
up.</span><br />

off point and according to Jalaman there’s already good marine life at where we
were. Travel time to the Twin Rock Marine Sanctuary was around 45 minutes and
we saw a lot of diving resorts along the Anilao coast. There were even a lot of
boats parked attending to scuba divers under water. I’ve been to Anilao before
and stayed with a fishing community and have heard a lot of good stories about
the high biodiversity of marine life in Anilao and no wonder why Filipino and
even foreign diving enthusiasts were loving Anilao.</span></div>

smiling when I tried it, it was a different world under water, I saw different

stayed in the shallow waters and enjoyed the sun. We left at 2PM because
according to our boatmen waters could be rough in the afternoon. Philpan Dive
Resort collects P60 fee per head, according to Jalaman it was for using the
resort as docking area and for staying there while waiting for our boat but we
can use their shower and comfort rooms. I have no problem paying but I think
the fee was a too expensive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been planning last year to start 2012 with a mountain
climb however there were already several trips planned for the first quarter
and it might not be practical and money-wise to climb. Last year I also told myself
to at least go out once a month, good thing that our bday month is free and we
have not set any plans yet. I have been following several climbing group for
the last few months and comparing them. As much as I want to do DIYs, I
personally believe that climbing a mountain would be a different thing and
that’s when I decided to join with wowtrippers’ mt. gulugod baboy hike and swim

Pinatubo early last year and you don’t have any idea who you will be with and
if you’ll enjoy being with them, everything will be charged to experience.
Jayjay and I were already at the meeting place 30 minutes before the meeting
time, we don’t want to be a cause of delay. Every time that a person with a big
bag will come in I was already thinking that they’re part of our group. When
Jalaman arrived he told us that we’re 22 in the group but the other half was
already on their way to Anilao. When we were already complete I was surprised
to see that most of the group looks like hard-core mountaineers, from their
bags to their attires. I already felt comfortable as we’re with full-pledged mountaineers
who have the experience.</span></div>

was a steep cemented road we were only on the first turn but I was already
breathing hard and when I look at Jayjay he was already sweating hard haha!
considering that we have been running for a long time now.I
think ¼ of the group were mountain climbers and they were telling us to take
our time and not to hurry and I really took my time I stop every time I felt

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of the cemented road there were stores and
porters offering their services for $350 and none of us took one. We had a good
rest stop here as one of the Meralco boys almost passed out and he has become the
content of the jokes for the rest of the climb. And that’s when I saw the trail
leading to the summit it was steep! I mentally prepared myself and checked on
Jayjay if he’s ok and he was like a child smiling sheepishly with his new toy.
In ordinary days of our not so extra ordinary lives Jayjay is on his most
irritable stage if he’s sweating but that time he embraced his sweat hehe. And
this was one of the reasons why I love forcing him to try and join an adventure
like this with me. I have known him for so long that I already knew what he
hates and likes but every time that we’re on a trip there’s always a new side
of him that appears (naman! Ako na talaga ang in love).</span></div>

and I could already feel my legs burning it was a steep trail and when I saw
Jalaman with his super big backpack/kitchen and the others with almost the same
big bags, I realized that my backpack would look like a pouch bag next to
theirs and I got excited and was inspired to reach the top, I did not come all
the way here not to see the summit. That’s when I remembered that when I was in
high school there was a time that I dreamt of being a mountaineer and I told
myself that I will join a mountaineering club when I reached college sadly
there’s no such group in college.</span></div>

rest stop in one of the houses and they sell halo-halo for P35, ice for P5 and
soft drinks for P9. I asked the girl who’s selling the halo halo how they were
able to bring their fridge up here she just smiled at me maybe she was thinking
that I was just joking but I was serious, the trail was steep and was so small
that you have to stop and let the person going down pass by it was like a
one-lane traffic. I think there were 3 houses that you will pass by on the
trail and the last house we pass by there was an old man who told us that when
we go down we can leave our plastic water bottles to him so he can sell it and
that’s what we did when we went down the following day, we also left him the
bottles of gin hehe.</span></div>

view was breath taking I even jumped! Mt. Gulugod Baboy is not that high it is
a 2/9 difficulty climb but we almost had a 360 degree view of Batangas, Toto
and Elton told us that it’s not yet the peak and once we reached the summit
it’s much even better. With an amazing view like this who would pass the chance
of camera-whoring, I won’t! Even Jayjay clicked it all the way. From there I
can already see figures of the others who were already on the summit.</span></div>

nice camping ground we pitched out tents beside the bushes to protect us from
the wind and there’s a trail going to the back where you could pee (with
matching tabi tabi po). Jalaman and Irene also started preparing our dinner,
confirmed they’re truly hard core mountaineers. Jalaman’s backpack was truly
like a kitchen, he even has 4 gallons of water in there! They told us to bring
1 liter of water each for food preparation and washing foods and dishes is not
the trend in mountain climbing (sensya na first time pa lang po). They have
burners and cooking utensils and guess what we’ll be having for dinner –
kalderetang chicken and chopsuey! Yup you heard it right (astig db! Haha! Amaze
na amaze ako promise! At walang sukat ang pagkain eat all you can hangga’t
meron pang pagkain). Donna, Rod and I helped Irene in preparing the food,
Jalaman had to cook the rice in 4 batches making sure that we’ll have enough
because we’re a big group. While preparing for the food to be cooked, we
enjoyed the sunset and took pictures to our heart’s desire, I even borrowed my
sister’s camera for this trip because I’m sure that I’ll consume my camera’s
battery.</span></div>

around man. It was like a family dinner where you talk about what happened to
your day, stories about one’s family, work and hiking experiences were shared
and all laughed about Christian’s almost passing out earlier and he was being
teased by Doc Jun (he’s a pedia) that’s he’s only acting and only fishing for
attention. Then one of the meralco boys said “ang sarap ng afritada!” and we
all laughed hard (kaldereta ung ulam kuya!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After eating we make sure that all the trash were placed in
one area which we will also bring down as the saying goes leave nothing but
footprints and take nothing but pictures, this is also to ensure that Mt.
Gulugod Baboy will maintain its beauty and for other people to enjoy as well
and according to Kuya Jake there are dogs in the area that looks for trash and
scatters it. With boys composing ¾ of the group and a girl who drinks (oy hindi
ako un ha hehe) no one would want to end the night without a sip hehe.
Surprisingly no one of the boys brought alcohol (can you believe that!)
Actually I also forgot I got excited with the climb that I forgot to bring or
to even remind them. Toto was teasing Jalaman how he can pass this moment
without a drink and he knows the mountain and the houses he can easily go down
and bought then Jalaman asked who will contribute, I right away gave him money (P200
lang naman inabot ko) told him it’s me and Jayjay’s bday treat and without any
hesitation he immediately stood up and tagged Dan to join him, 30 minutes later
they were back with Ginebra San Miguel (astig talaga ni Jala! Bow kami sayo!)
Jayjay and I were thinking what if it’s a different group, would they go down
in the dark just to buy drinks. That’s when we decided that on our next climb
we’ll join Wowtrippers again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We arrived to a gloomy weather
and have been praying for the sky to open up and for the sun to shine its
brightest as this was my first time in Palawan. I’ve heard and seen so many
stories about Palawan and was excited to enjoy it with Jayjay. We scored a seat
sale with Cebu Pacific and booked with Tres Pension for P1000 per night for 2
people with free breakfast and airport pick up. We enjoyed our stay here I find
it cheap but very comfortable and clean and nice staff though it’s quite far
from the city center. You can ask them to book and reserve a slot for tours,
island hopping and other activities. We decided not to book for any tour ahead
of time as we’re not sure how the weather would be we also decided that we can
just skip the underground river tour because I feel like the experience of seeing
it on TV and pictures was just the same as experiencing it for real and we have
a limited budget so we decided t skip it for now. Then we learned that after
being awarded as one of nature’s seven wonders you have to book a tour in
advance like a month or so and according to Ate Joan of Tres Pension from what
they’ve heard it was fully booked already for the next 2 months. We instead
asked them to book us for the Honda Bay tour and the firefly river cruise.</span></div>

at around 4:00PM but our flight was delayed due to air traffic. I suggest that
whenever booking a promo or seat sale choose an early morning flight schedule
to avoid delays. We landed at around
7:00PM and it was raining we were picked up by the van from Tres Pension and we
just left our backpacks and then decided to hunt for a place to eat. The staff
of Tres Pension suggested Balinsasayaw which was 10 minutes away by tricycle.
Balinsasayaw has a nice façade but make sure to wear pants and long sleeves or
put on an insect repellant as there were a lot of mosquitos. We asked the
waiter for their specialty and he mentioned Balinsasayaw Express which we
ordered and Sinigang na Talakitok. We were surprised to discover that their
specialty Balinsasayaw Express was just like chopsuey without any meat or fish.
We keep on thinking why the waiter would recommend something that’s not that
good. We spent P371.00 for our dinner.</span></div>

as it was still a gloomy day and already started raining and we’re scheduled to
visit Honda Bay. The tour guide picked us up at 7:30 AM and upon arriving to
the jump off point for the Honda bay tour all visitors were just staying on the
parking lot and all boats were docked. We were informed that Coast Guard did
not allow any island hopping trip due to bad weather, there was actually no
rain but the wind was strong and the tour organizer informed us that there was
an incident before that almost toppled the boat due to strong winds that’s why
Coast Guard does not allow boat tours with strong winds. A lot of disappointed
sighs were heard and we were already paid and I’m not sure how we can refund
the money. The guide told us that we will do city tour instead because they
have also prepared lunch and will maximize the day to cover as much that will
equal our money (ay ganun!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went first to a korean spa I
was disappointed there was nothing you can do in it, the spa they’re saying was
like a cubicle with pool like I don’t even have words how to describe it hehe.
The rest of the group seems to feel the same way as they head back to the van.
We then went to the mangrove beach at the back (or I think it’s the front I’m
not totally sure) of Mictorel Palawan. It was a nice place very quiet, it was
very low tide that you walk meters away and the water will still be just at
your ankle. We already crossed out swimming on our list because it will be
impossible. We had our lunch here and it was a healthy feast, combination of
pork and seafoods with matching fresh buko juice. We stayed here for almost 2
hours and started chatting with other members of the group and explored the
beach and the mangroves.</span></div>

inside the Iwahig Penitentiary. They say that inmates here can freely stroll
around the compound and around the penitentiary. It was almost like a barangay
to me there were houses along the road and people wearing orange shirts were
walking in the streets. I was a little scared I’m not sure if this was a safe
thing to do but according to our guide there was never an incident of violence
or tourists being harmed here. Iwahig was a far drive from the city center and
it was raining hard when we arrived at the Balsahan River. There was a
construction going on at one side of the river and they say that they’re
widening it to accommodate tourists and water activity. They say that they plan
to put up river tubing activity here. We did not stay long as it was raining
hard.</span></div>

Penitentiary proper, they have a hall where they accept tourist with a
welcoming dance group and a lot of souvenirs you can choose from. It looks safe
and there were also other tourists roaming around. There were some prisoners
selling siopao and some were very pushy that I decided not to buy any souvenir
because if they see you buying something they will not leave you until you also
buy from them. One of us was forced to buy from one of the prisoners because he
got scared as the prisoner was very pushy and to get off his back he just
bought from him.</span></div>

bakery in front. The hopia boxes still hot and fresh from the oven at a
reasonable price. Lastly we went back to the city
proper and went to LRC souvenir shop which was along the highway. If you wish
to buy pasalubongs and souvenirs you may want to do it here the merchandise
here are cheap but I’m not sure if there’s another place that sells much

mesmerized when we decided to walk along Rizal Ave to look for a place to eat. We
were supposed to join the firefly river cruise with dinner but unfortunately
there was a misunderstanding and a mix up with schedule. We ate at Ugong Rock,

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kuya Ramil picked us up at Lutong Bahay and went to Paniman
beach, the jump off point to Caramoan island hopping. The sky was dark and we’re
praying hard not to rain and to give us even a little sunshine. Despite the
weather Jayjay and I were excited this will be our first island hopping
adventure. Kuya Ramil brought us first
to Cotivas Island, it was the farthest and took us around 40 minutes to reach
the island. We pass by a mangrove area that serves as a short cut going to
Cotivas. There was already one group enjoying the island.</span><br />

island waves from the left side and right side were meeting. There were also
boulders at the back of the island. There was a nipa huts at the beach where we
had our lunch. We stayed the longest at this island because Kuya Ramil told us
that the next place we’re going is the Manlawi sand bar and its best to go
there during low tide.</span></div>

wind and I ran after it and when I was about to go back to the nipa hut I saw a
lizard struggling in the sand beside the plants, I was wondering why and when I
looked closely there was a small green snake trying to wrestle with the poor
lizard, I shrieked and run away. Jayjay was asking what happened to me and told
him what I saw, he and Kuya Ramil went to the area and the lizard was able to pull
away from the snake. Be careful in getting to the area with plants you don’t
want to be bitten by a snake.</span></div>

Kuya Ramil this was where the Survivor show took place. There was no shoot as
of the moment but a new season will shoot by February 2012. He told us stories
how the Survivor show gave jobs to most of the people of Caramoan, it really
helped most of them and have also helped their town with road projects. I told
him that this might ruin the beauty of Caramoan, he told us that the good thing
about the Survivor crew was that they also care about the place. And that every
after shooting they make sure to clean up the place.</span></div>

climb barefoot so we can feel the rocks. There was one part of the climb that I
got really scared, you need to pull yourself up and at the same time make a
step to move forward. I really focused on this and breathe a sigh of relief
when I did it. I looked down and Jayjay was struggling haha! When we reached
the top we saw the lagoon and Kuya Ramil told us the tale about the two giant
milkfish which the locals considers as sacred and one day a fisherman caught
one of them and brought to his family to eat and that all who ate the fish died
and from then on no one dared to fish in that lagoon. You just need to look closely and you will be able to see the giant milkfish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After my <a href="http://momotkuyit.blogspot.com/2011/12/our-moment-with-cebu-pacific.html">first moment with cebu pacific</a> we finally arrived
at Naga Airport, it was raining and several drivers were offering van
transportation going to SM Naga or to Filcab station or directly to Sabang
port, I heard one quoting P400 up to Sabang port and the other was P250 up to
SM Naga. Since I booked this trip way back in February I had a lot of time to
research and found that you can just walk to the airport gates and ride a
pedicab for only P10 up to the highway and ride a bus or jeep going to Filcab
Terminal just beside SM Naga for only P15 and that’s what we did. From Filcab
Terminal there were vans en route to different towns in Camarines Sur, it was
just like the van terminals in the malls in Manila there were markers where the
van was heading. What worries us was that we might not arrive on time for the
last boat going to Caramoan. Fare is P100 per head, we left at 9.30AM and
arrived at Sabang port at 11.25AM.</span></div>

(yes!). I was surprised to see that there was a dock and that you don’t need to
be carried by porters going to the boat because from what I have researched to
be able to ride the boat you have to be carried by a porter on their shoulders.
The boat left Sabang port at 11.50AM and arrived at Guijalo port at P1.50PM. It
was a long boat ride and the weather was gloomy, on our left side was the
Caramoan island and on our right was the open sea.</span></div>

we learned that Lutong Bahay closes at 7.30PM so we decided to roam the street
and look for a place to eat. We asked around and we were told that we can try
Anacleto’s, a block away from Lutong Bahay. We went back to Rex after eating
and decided to drink to kill time, as early as 8.30PM there’s no more open
stores, considering that Caramoan was slowly being known as one of the best
places to visit in the Philippines and was getting popular because of the TV
show Survivor, the province-aura was still there and hopefully it stays that
way.</span></div>

our spirits, we travelled all the way here to enjoy Caramoan and we will not
allow a gloomy weather to put us down. I texted Kuya Ramil just the day before
and asked him if we could rent his boat for island hopping, he agreed and
originally quote us P1500 for 3 islands and he suggested that if we want he can
bring us to 5 islands for P2000. Jayjay told me that since we’re already here
why not take the most out of it and we agreed with P2000. We had our breakfast
at Lutong Bahay and also bought lunch for the 2 of us and for Kuya Ramil and
his companion. The jump off point was still far from Sentro and we took a
tricycle going to Paniman beach where Kuya Ramil also resides with his family.
He said that they also offer accommodation and rents some of the rooms in their
house. The sun was still hiding when we left Paniman and the water was rough it
was a little scary. We had the whole afternoon Caramoan island hopping, check
my next post for our adventure.</span></div>

the first trip going to Sabang port at 6.30AM.</span></div>

at 6AM and there were already a lot of people waiting for the first trip. The
boat can only accommodate 30 pax but from what I’m seeing I think it was more
than 30 even after the coast guard personnel checked the boat and I was
surprised when we were already sailing that we stopped in the middle of the sea
and there were small boats that we pass along and our boat picked up passengers
(ayos parang EDSA lang me pumapara sa gitna hehe).</span></div>

in, it was not the same place where we rode the other day, and then I saw a
man-made like bridge where the passengers will use to reach the shore. Going
down needs good timing with the waves so as not to get wet. The men assisting
the passengers used to be the porters who carries passengers on their shoulders
and they recently decided to created a bridge and asks for a minimal fee, we
gave P10 each. There were already vans waiting for passengers going to Naga and
we head directly to the airport.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was able to book a Cebu Pacific Naga flight for me and
Jayjay last February during the PTAA travel expo. I was happy that I had a good
deal at 50% off then I learned that you can still get a much better deal that
50% off with these airlines seat sale (excited kasi first timer) it was still a
good deal, not bad.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our original flight schedule was December 05 but Jayjay’s
grandmother died and he cannot go out that week, I decided as well not to go
anymore. Weather was kinda gloomy for weeks now and I will surely not enjoy it
all by myself. Then one afternoon while sleeping I received a call (2 weeks
prior to our scheduled trip), I groggily answered the call and when I heard on
the other line the word Cebu Pacific I became wide awake, the person on the
other line advised me that they apologize for calling because their flight schedules
for our trip was cancelled and if we would like to have it rescheduled. I told him of course we would want to. Two
weeks later we were in line for our 12NN Naga flight, when it was our turn, the
ground attendant told us that they have to book us to the 3PM flight due to
unavoidable circumstances, I asked them what circumstance was that and they’re
trying to tell us several reasons but it all boiled down to one reason, the
flight was full. I told them that when we were rescheduled they confirmed our reservation.
I know that there’s nothing that I can do so we agreed to check in for the 3PM
flight. At 3PM it was announced that our flight will be delayed and at 4.30PM
they asked us to start boarding. We were already set and the engine and
propellers were already running and then out of nowhere the captain’s voice was
heard saying that they apologize but we won’t be able to fly due to limited
sunlight, they say that Naga airport does not have runway lights. There was one
family that started freaking out and was already cursing because they were at
the terminal since 6AM and was rescheduled twice and they have kids and 2
babies with them. It was frustrating but being the praning that I was I did not
push for it, the captain knows his plane and will not cancel a flight if it’s
not necessary.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were asked to go to one of the lanes and they offered a
rescheduled flight the following morning or if we want they will provide
transportation fee for us to take the bus. Jayjay and I decided to take the
rescheduled flight, I did not anymore asked if they will have an accommodation
for us during the night, I right away asked what hotel they’re checking us in
(hehe assuming, in fairness me napala ako), they told us that a van will pick
us up and will bring us to a hotel and the van will also bring us back to the
airport. They also gave us a 1 way domestic voucher which can be claimed within
6 months from flight cancellation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hotel was just beside the Robinson’s Place Ermita, they
also provided us with dinner. We dropped by Robinson’s Place to buy some stuff
that we still need so we can head directly to Caramoan. We’re supposed to go to
CWC but we won’t be able to do that anymore and will just be heading directly
to Caramoan. At exactly 6:40AM we were asked to board the plane. After an hour
and 20 minutes we landed at Naga Airport.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that sh**happens and I also understand that there are
things that you cannot avoid, it’s just that people has a tendency of giving
excuses and false reasoning. Filipinos are smart and considerate people you
just need to give them the truth and well deserved explanation and we will
understand. (bow!) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was truly hesitant with this trip. They have been bugging
me to go on vacation. Since I’ve discovered my thirst to visit places I do not
often think twice, but this one was different, my concern – budget. I do not
earn as nice as them and I have a family to support. True that we really need
money to go places but I strongly believe that there’s always a way to spend
less and save money.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They booked everything with Zestair as they offer travel
packages covering airfare and accommodation. I think I was the only one that
they’re waiting for confirmation. In cases like this I always weigh the pros
and cons. Yes it will break my wallet but will surely be a priceless
experience. What the hell I’ll join them! I said yes with eyes closed and was
just telling myself that I’ve been working my ass out and this will just be my
gift to myself.</span></div>

boat I was like “ay eto na ung Boracay”. I don’t see any beach nor any sand I
was truly disappointed. Then one of the men on the port told me that we still
have to travel around 15 minutes as the beach was at the other side. (ahh un
naman pala e, sinong excited). The resort van picked us up and 15 minutes later
we’re walking on an alley and there at the end of the alley was the white beach
of Boracay (pero teka ang dami naming harang kakarampot lang ung nakita kong
beach at buhangin).</span></div>

I just had high expectations of Boracay because from what I’ve heard and from
I’ve seen in TV and ads that it was such a beautiful place. True the beach and
sand is impeccable but resorts, stores and restaurants have eaten up the shore.
I just told myself that for sure there’s something truly amazing with Boracay

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We stayed at the Le Soleil de Boracay. Whenever I go
out I’m not very particular with the accommodations as long as it’s clean and
the most important for me is that the staff’s attitude. Even if it’s a bahay
kubo as long as we’re treated nicely and with respect I already feel that I’m
in a 5-star hotel. And that’s the first thing that I appreciated of Boracay the
people are nice, not sure about the other resorts but with Le Soleil it was a
memorable stay. So far this was the best staff I’ve encountered they’re all nice
and respectful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We arrived past noon and are all hungry. One problem with
travelling with an all-girl big group is when it comes to eating time. One will
say “where do you want to eat”, another will say “whichever you like”, and one
will say “I’ll eat where you guys will eat” (haggardness! Hehe) When I noticed
that we’re going to that situation I started walking and scout for an
affordable looking restaurant (bakit parang walang murang kainan dito) and just
sat down at one of the restaurants and asked for a menu, they all followed and
did not say anything anymore and just ordered for their food (eto po ang
nagagawa ng gutom hehe). I forgot the name of the place maybe because of hunger
and that it’s not that affordable. On our way back to the hotel I found out
that there’s a Mang Inasal and Andok’s at one of D Mall’s allies (ay kung alam
ko lang!). I’m not sure if there’s other area where you can eat
carinderia-style and pay less but it seems that inside D Mall and within
station 2 every meal will cost you not lower that $150. You can also try going
to talipapa thru a tricycle and buy seafoods on the market and have it cooked
in one of the restaurants there which will be a little costly if you’re a small
group.</span></div>

just lounge by the beach and take a swim. From where we are lounging I can see

indoor good thing there’s a bar at the second floor of Le Soleil, bad thing
there’s no roof at the middle/dance floor area. Another good thing there’s only
one group there so we don’t have to worry about squeezing ourselves to the covered
area. Some of the girls vowed to just 2 bottles but of course we all know where
2 bottles can bring us. We finished off 2 bottles – tequila bottles that is!
Problem is only me, Cha and Gina (medyo humina na hehe) are hardcore drinkers
which ended with us having the most number of shots. We also had the chance to
do <a href="http://momotkuyit.blogspot.com/2011/12/boracay-activities.html#more">Boracay activities</a> but were not able to take advantage and enjoy most
of it due to weather changes.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You may fly in to Kalibo or Caticlan, Caticlan is the
closest to Boracay but make sure to book a flight in the morning as there are
chances of either being cancelled or being diverted to Kalibo airport if
weather is not so good or if it’s almost sunset. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After getting out of Caticlan airport go to the right and
there will be tricycles going to the Jetty Port, it costs arounf P50 and is
only a 10-minute ride. From the port ride a boat going to Boracay island for
P25 and you have to pay P75 environmental fee and P25 terminal fee, boat ride
is around 25 minutes. Once you arrived at Boracay island several tricycles for P25 were
lined-up going to the beach.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you’re flying in to Kalibo, you still need to travel by land
for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. After getting out of the airport there are
several vans lined up going to Jetty Port for around P200-250. If you would
want a less hassle (but much expensive) way you may want to avail of the
services of the <a href="http://www.southwesttoursboracay.com/">Southwest Tours</a> that offers transportation services from Kalibo
to Boracay island or direct to resort. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the things that excites me about Boracay are the
activities that you can enjoy, I’ve read and heard that there are a lot to
choose from. Being the sporty me one of the things that I searched when we
arrived in Boracay are the activities that I can try, I already noticed the
parasails (mukhang mamahalin), speedboats (ekis! Bukod sa mamahalin baka
magsuka lang ako) and banana boats (have not tried it yet but with kikay girls
chances are 50-50). There are also island hopping tours (pwede pwede), helmet
diving (definitely want to try) and ATV (nasa top 3 list to do) to name a few.
Several people with laminated pictures approached our group offering tours and
activities. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Considering that we stayed for 3 days, sadly we were not
able to do much as it will rain during mornings and sun will come out late in
the afternoon. I would have gone out by myself to do the ATV and would want to
mountain bike as well and I have no problem doing it by myself but with few of
the girls discouraging you to do so, I just decided to stay put so as not to
create tension (grrrr… sisiguraduhin kong pagbalik ko ng Boracay yari yang mga
activities na yan sakin). That’s also one of the downsides if you’re with an
all girl group with most of them not as adventurous as you are.</span></div>

coming to Boracay I told myself that I would not want to pass the opportunity
of running at the Boracay shores. On our second day I woke up at around 5:00AM and
did not bother waking some of the girls as they’re not into waking up so early
and especially not into running. I was surprised that at that early there were
already a lot of people in the beach and mostly was running like me. On my way back I noticed a guy paddle boarding
I mentally noted that I want to try that and will make sure not to go home
without doing that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">True enough I did not go home without trying the paddle
board. I met Kuya Jonathan and asked him how much is the rent for the board, he
quoted me P500 an hour, huwaaatttt! No way! I tried haggling and offered him
P200 for 30 minutes (ayaw ko din naman syang masyadong baratin para kahit
papano kumita din naman sya). He agreed and told me not to tell the other girl
who rented his other paddle board because she’s paying him P500 an hour, I
shook his hand with that. He gave me brief instructions how to paddle, stand
and navigate. I wasn’t able to stand on my first 2 tries, I was able to get the
hang of it on my third try, cool! I did not put my money into waste and did not
even rest for the whole 30 minutes hehe. It’s not a bad decision to only rent
the board for 30 minutes as you will get tired on your 30<sup>th</sup> minute
(weh sakto lang?!). I let the girls try it but only Bon did. I told Kuya
Jonathan that 30 minutes will do, he told me to extend it to an hour as he does
not have a customer yet, I told him that I don’t have P300 to add for the rent
and he said to just add P100 and again not to tell the other girl, I agreed. I
want him to earn as well and the more time I spent on the board the more people
on the beach will get curious as to how it would feel to paddle board and even
with already aching muscles on my arms and thighs I continued enjoying the
paddle boarding, this will be my way of helping him get new customers. A girl
and a boy came to me and asked me who to speak with to rent it after my turn.
Yes! 2 customers for Kuya Jonathan! I was not able to get his contact number
but he told me that he is the only guy who offers paddle boarding, there’s
another guy at Station 3 but according to him it was exclusive to the resort
visitors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On our third day the girls told me that somebody offered
them parasailing for P2,000 for all of us. I asked them why it was so cheap
they said that it’s the price that was told to them by the guy who offered
them. In a minute I was already ready to go. When we met him he told us to
follow him and I pointed to him one of the parasails on the horizon and he told
me “ay ma’am mahal po iyan mga P2,000 per head po yan”. Nyek! I thought that’s
what we’re doing and he pointed the boats with blue sails and told me “Ma’am un
po tayo paraw sailing!” Anyeyek! It’s paraw sailing and not parasailing! I told
the girls and with the same reaction as mine we all laugh hard. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We told the guy what we thought was the parasailing and since
we want him to also earn we just told him that we’ll do helmet dive and island
hopping instead. He quoted us P300 each for the helmet dive and P1500 for the
whole group’s island hopping. He brought us to a station we’re he have us
registered and pay. So that’s how they do it here, they have like a centralized
group who arranges water activities. That’s good giving everyone fair share of
the market and the people offering the along the beaches are getting only
commissions for every group or people they brought in. It was already late in
the afternoon and we went first to the helmet diving location. They had us sign
a waiver, had our picture taken and conducted brief diving rules and
instructions. Only 6 of us dived, Cha did not because of her knee injury and
Carol who I think is afraid to try it haha! Just a joke because according to
her she has already tried it before and does not want to do it again.</span></div>

the ear pressure underwater and will not do it again. I set my mind that I will
surely feel the same and all I need to do is to just follow the instructions on
how to release the pressure. I went last and 4 steps below the ladder I can
already feel the pressure on my ears, the guy who dived with us was like
pulling me away from the ladder and would want to already start the fish
feeding frenzy and start taking shots. (Ano ka hilo!) I took my time and did
not release my grip to the ladder until the pressure was gone, it took me 3
times before the pressure on my ear pops. Now it’s time to enjoy! The water on
the surface seems calm but underneath there was a little current I panicked
when I felt I was being pushed by the current away from the group but when I
looked around they’re just within arm’s reach (panic lang!). The diver gave us
small balls that we need to dissolve with our fingers and moments later lots of
fish already swam towards us, we stayed for like 15 minutes underwater with the
feeding the fish and smiling for the camera. We had to wait for another 10-15
minutes for the CD of the pictures and video.</span></div>

was its not island hopping anymore it will just be island visit. The boatman
told us that we can only go to 1 island because it was already around 4:00PM
and they do not want to travel at dark, same with us and with unpredictable
weather we do not want to do that as well. We agreed and told them to bring us
to the most beautiful island. On our way to the island we pass along the
Boracay shores, there were a lot of resorts up until station 3, you cannot find
any open space in between. We pass along the secluded Shangri-la resort and the
one that they say was owned by Manny Pacquiao. Moments later the boatman told
us that we’re nearing the island, from afar you can already tell that it was
beautiful. There was not even one resort and we were the only people there. The
boatman told us that it’s called the Puka Beach. I’ve heard and read good
things about Puka Beach, true enough it was beautiful, unspoiled and truly
beautiful. The boatman told us that we can only stay for like 15 minutes and we
did not waste time, who does not want a pictorial galore at a beautiful beach
like this, no one! We all took our own spaces and and it was like we were having
the photo shoot of our lives haha!</span></div>

little haggling skills) like paddle boarding, helmet diving and island <strike>visit</strike>
hopping. And there are also those expensive but for sure worth your money and
unforgettable experience like parasailing and helicopter ride and if you have
the money why not. But even if you don’t have enough money to spend on most of
the things to do in Boracay, it’s the things you’ve done and experienced with

When we go places our main goal is to go explore the place and there is no point of spending most of your time inside your room, might as well not travel at all if that’s what you will do. A nice staff will also make your stay more relaxing. You might not have the clean and safe place but if they have the nice staff you may request them to do something about your room. You may have a clean room but rude stuff then you just have to bear and endure that, anyway you will not spend most of your time dealing with them. But if you have bad accommodation with rude stuff well I think you know what to do, look somewhere else haha!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Passengers were given designated seat number but you may go upstairs to the viewing deck. 30 minutes before reaching Corregidor one of the crews will be giving instructions regarding tramvia designations.

I think it was due to excitement (feeling naming katangahan talaga e hehe) when jayjay and I just jumped to one of the tramvias without looking at its number. We looked at each other when after 5 minutes no tourist guide was showing us the beauty and history of Corregidor. Then we stopped at an area where organizers holding plastic cups and timer and pole and other stuff were waiting. Jayjay and I looked at each other and laugh (“Ay ngangna! Maling tramvia!”). It was the tramvia for the Conquer Corregidor participants! I humbly approached the driver and told him about our situation, he asked us with a hint of sarcasm if we were not listening while the crew on the boat discusses the tramvia assignments, we just smiled innocently. He told us no problem and drove us back and when he saw one of the tramvias he told the tour guide regarding our situation and again we just smiled innocently hehe.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

After eating we went outside to enjoy the bay and the sunset. I was expecting foul odor coming from the bay but in fairness there was none. Or its because we were far away from the shores where you can easily smell the stinking garbage. Though we were cruising far from the shore there were still garbage that you will see. I strongly believe that it was still the people’s irresponsible way of throwing garbage that causes this problem. People should not be always blaming the government for this and other problems but instead should start from themselves and be responsible.

As most of the group is under a school boy budget, schedule and location are the major considerations. I got excited and volunteered myself to plan and arrange everything. They thought of an out of town trip specifically a beach where we could enjoy for an overnight stay, budget friendly and a place where I have never been to (oportunista hehe). Laiya San Juan Batangas was the first place that came to my mind. And it normally takes 3-4 hours to reach Batangas.</span><br />

We crossed the highway and went towards the street beside the bus station bound for Manila. We decided to take the van going to San Juan it fills up faster than the jeepneys (which are located in the parking lot of Robinsons Mall). The van left Lipa City at 10:45AM and arrived at San Juan public market at 11:30AM. We took our lunch at one of the eateries beside the market and also bought food, water and booze that we need for our overnight stay. Ate Beth told me that they have cook wares and utensils that we can use.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I told the driver to drop us off at Casa Remo. 30 minutes after the driver pointed us to an alley on the other side of the road going to Casa Remo. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I saw the others looking at each other and smiling like kids. We were welcomed by the caretaker Ate Melanie and showed us the room. I was surprised that we were the only guests in the resort. There were no reservations until tomorrow and the place was all ours.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Von and Kim sang and belted out like it was their first time to sing. They sang for 2 hours straight while Reyjan recuperates from lack of sleep. 2 hours later Toto and Joyce arrived. It was starting to get dark but the other 5 were still on the road. They said that they might arrive late at night coz they left Manila past 2PM. I was happy and relieved when Rob, Mark, Chris and Nonoy showed up at around 6PM. After having dinner Von and Kim resumed with their concert while others played cards.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I think we spend more on booze than on food! We started the drinking session once everyone felt that they have already digested their food. There could be several <b><span style="color: #e69138;">priceless fun activities</span></b> that you can do that does not need to spend money but you will surely enjoy (especially for people na mababaw ang kaligayahan tulad namin). While drinking we played pinoy henyo and they cannot stop laughing when I prepared the things that we need for pinoy henyo (hindi naman daw ako handa ng lagay na un).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Just like in any other drinking sessions we had, it boils down to funny memory lane, future travel plans for the group and talking (and gossiping) about the person who’s absent (kaya mahirap mag-absent sa inuman ginagawang pulutan). After finishing the booze they decided to play, they run, crawl and swim over and over. They got tired not because of the game but because of laughing so hard. No one recalls what time we spelt but I think it was around 4 AM.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was a little worried about having a place to stay for this trip. It was only a day before when everybody suddenly agreed to push through with this trip. I have been doing research for the past couple of weeks as to where we can stay for an over night trip in San Juan, Batangas. After exchanging lunch breaks to internet breaks I came across 2 resorts that we could possibly stay at - the Kabayan Austria Resort and the Casa Remo Apartelle. So far we were 8 in the group, Kabayan Austria has these trailer homes that can accommodate 8-10 pax for P4500 while Casa Remo is only for P3600 a night (their rate for off- peak season).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being the only girl in the group I was assigned (actually I volunteered myself pinagpilitan ko talaga) to take care of the itinerary for the whole trip. Since budget was the biggest thing to consider I’m still undecided which resort to choose. Budget wise I decided to choose Casa Remo and only called the owner Ate Beth while we were in the bus 3 hours away from San Juan (bahala na si batman).</span></div>

They have 10 rooms which can accomodate a group of 4 to 10 people.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I read that they have kitchen utensils that their visitors can use, I was not thinking of ala master chef where you have everything you need, from strainer (para sa pansit canton) to rice cooker (para sa mga hindi marunong sumukat ng tubig sa sinaing) to free dishwashing paste. But seriously they have almost everything you need for cooking (except ung lulutuin syempre). They also have free drinking water, but do not expect too much if you’re used to drinking mineral water or NAWASA, but do not worry none of us had problem with the water after drinking it for 2 days.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The recreation room/dining hall is spacious with bamboo chairs and tables. There’s a videoke and 1 song costs P5. Since I’m with people who does not mind singing for 3 straight hours (and cancels most of the songs after belting out the chorus) I asked Ate Melanie if we could just rent it in an hourly basis, we both agreed for P100/hour. However they have videoke curfew only until 10PM. According to Ate Melanie it was a regulation for all resort owners in the area.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Beside the recreation/dining hall were 3 open nipa huts where you can play cards, eat, drink and dry your clothes. Casa Remo is not beach front but it will only take 3 (kung purong lakad lang) to 5 (kung me halong chikahan while walking) minutes to reach the shores. The resorts that were beach front were the big (and expensive) resorts. But if you would want to spend your day at the shores Case Remo has 2 cottages that their guest can use, I think each cottage can accommodate 2 groups of 5-7 people. We decided to stay, play and party on the sand.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I told Ate Beth that there might be additional people in the group and will text her with the final headcount. At the end of the day final headcount was 11. Ate Beth told me that we need to revise the conforme and pricing (which we all did thru texting). From P3600 (for 8 people) we ended with a room rate of P4500 (additional P300 per head in excess of 8). It was a fair deal considering that they only allow max of 8 people for that room, I think P900 was better than another room rate.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were a lot of big-time, medium, small-time resort along the shores and back streets of Laiya but if you’re on a tight budget and not too choosy but would want to experience the white beach of Laiya San Juan I recommend Casa Remo, but make sure to call ahead of time to make reservation. Just to set your expectation it might be a different story during peak seasons as you have to share the kitchen, recreation/dining hall, nipa huts and playground with other guests. The good thing about it you might gain new friends and might share rooms too.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've learned that the company I'm with now conducts several volunteer work thru the HR department they call it Angel Network. Couple of weeks ago they informed all employees about a tree planting volunteer work and forest trek at the La Mesa watershed. I have never been there and I immediately signed up. (and it was an all-expense-paid trip kaya go!)</span></div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were around 50 employees who volunteered. It was scheduled right after our graveyard shift and there's work later that night. We arrived at around 7AM and we were welcomed by Kuya Abe of the Bantay Kalikasan that was sponsored by ABS-CBN. The La Mesa watershed has 2 parts, the first was the eco-park where pre-nup pictorials, family outing, lake and other park ameneties were located. The second part was the forest reserve where we went. Kuya Abe's discussion was very informative and I've learned a lot and was totally impressed. I am a nature lover and enjoys being in a new place and learning more about the environment. I actually dreamt of being a marine biologist when I was in high school and I still wish to study that if my means will permit to do so.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After telling us the history of the watershed and the forest reserve we went to the nursery and he taught us how to put the soil in the plastic bags but it will not be the same bags where we will be putting the seedlings. The plastic bags will be watered first and the seedlings that we have will be placed on the bags that the visitors from previous days created. According to them it may take around 3-10 years before they can transfer it to the forest. After planting all the seedlings we went to the decomposition area and he discussed to us how worms help in creating fertilizers. Some of my office mates tried holding the worms but I cannot do it, I remembered how the worms from our bathroom looked like when I was a kid.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After scaring us with the earth worms we started our trek. We were divided into 3 groups and when kuya Abe told us that the young forestry graduate will also be a guide my gay groupmates rushed to him. Since most of us were from graveyard shift and still has to attend work at night, we will only be trekking 3KMs. They have another trail which was 6KMs.</span></div><br />

We stop once in a while and our guide discussed the trees or a plant that was at the side of the trail. They have marked it with tarps with the name of the trees or species and a brief description about it. We came across different trees some of them I was not familiar. I was amazed to see bamboos like they were wrapped together by a rope, it was in Bicol at my grand father's backyard when I saw something like that. We also passed by a freshwater lake and when we went to the viewing deck my camera went dead sigh sigh (kaswerte ko naman oh).

We were all soaking in sweat when we finished the trail. We did not noticed the time and we felt like we're tired not because of the trek but because of the laughing and the talking. It was good to know that there was still a place like this inside the metropolis and that there were a lot of private organizations helping out to maintain the forest reserve. Not only will the people of the Metro Manila will benefit from the watershed and the forest reserve but future generations as well. I have always believed that change will always start with one's self.

It was supposed to be a 4 to 4.5-hour drive but I think it took us 5.5 hours to reach Bolinao (its either cr break or yosi break hehe). It was quite far and that’s the good thing also about traveling with your friends or family, you will not mind the butt-numbing and saliva-spoiling long drive.</span></div><br />

When we reached the place we did not even bother to ask or go to the reception, we all know that it’s not our type (actually choosy mga kasama ko hehe). Tanya then remembered that her cousin stayed in one of the secluded resorts in Bolinao, what worries us was that it might be expensive but it will not hurt to check it out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

They were very nice and sweet couple and very accommodating. Before going to the resort we passed through a market and decided to buy stuff that we need and you can request them to cook the food for a very minimal fee. We were secretly and strategically carrying the cooler inside the kubo loaded with booze and ice without our knowledge that their caretaker was watching us and we were so paranoid that every time they will pass our kubo we will be closing the door and window right away so that they will not see the rice cooker, all the food and the garapon-full of chicken and pork adobo. Later we found out that it was ok to bring in stuff (sinong praning!).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

It started raining after dinner and it was raining hard and you can hear the wind swooshing and slamming the windows and it was also brownout. The owners told us to stay at the main house it was much safer and they have a generator. I’m a strong person and do not break easily but at that moment I was downright scared for all of us. The tsunami that hit Thailand kept on replaying in my head and I was praying hard and was already thinking of climbing the mountain at the other side of the dirt road. I thanked God when the wind started to calm down and thanked him again when the sun was brightly shining in the morning and for keeping us safe.</span></div><br />

It's always nice and enjoyable to eat with a big group and with big appetite, not unless you both prefer to dine out in a romantic setting. I told my sister about our plan and she suggested that we try tong yang at Megamall, they offer shabu-shabu and grill during lunch time for only P399 per pax. I immediately agreed as jayjay and I have never tried shabu shabu yet. We meet them in Megamall and their youngest daughter was with them. I was so happy to see her because it has been awhile since the last time I saw her.<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">My niece enjoyed the sausage and 1 glass of iced tea and only take 1 spoonful of ice cream. I was surprised to know that it was already P200. She's only 2 years old and as long a the child will eat anything even a biteful only it will already be charged for P200. They have an accomodating and patient staff as my niece keeps on turning on and off our grill. Also not bad for P399. Except that you will smell like shabu shabu after eating haha! Overall it was a sumptuos meal (para sakin ha, first time e hehe). And most importantly jayjay enjoyed it with us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm not fond of company outings maybe because since I started working years ago the company I've worked for had only 1 company outing (kaya naman pala e). Anyways, I was with a new company now and they have been doing company outing since they started operation. For this year's summer outing, they decided to treat all employees at Enchanted Kingdom. At first I was thinking whether to join or not, good thing 2 of my close friends who were also previous office mates will join. It was also an all-expense paid summer outing - so why not!!!</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been to Enchanted Kingdom once when I was in college. Back then there were only a few rides. Now they have added new attractions that people of all ages may enjoy. One of their newest attractions was the EK Biki World. Located beside the parking lot, it was like a mini resort but instead of the normal pools several inflatable pools were all over the area. The deepest pool was like 3 feet only and were very kid-friendly. Personally I think I will not go on a summer outing with family or friends here (not unless its free hehe). But for people who would want to try it for the first time you may surely try and charge it to experience.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBsrzf2LfhN89rjuxEkQegi968OcUD3dzNIQA9xG6461kQWgzV-Q40ss-2rlpbJv_uR0GVG3ytSXMEKetWDrPvl-QJI2SyaSgYwGwtY3FafWA8hFw_HGlcoS7gP4cxQK4xLqmHE0NHmwM/s1600/P1011386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBsrzf2LfhN89rjuxEkQegi968OcUD3dzNIQA9xG6461kQWgzV-Q40ss-2rlpbJv_uR0GVG3ytSXMEKetWDrPvl-QJI2SyaSgYwGwtY3FafWA8hFw_HGlcoS7gP4cxQK4xLqmHE0NHmwM/s400/P1011386.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIm6BDJVYRXTIFc_i2cycThyphenhyphenn1i_8WrtiRaC2ll4qB6mMwepqhVwvk9aOrf6Pgqy-PsqULFOBG9XZGCweo6uB0hrFpwoorpWD3kNB_7cK7b4ugm-mIxdGenrERr-5He-PGSmUYMAMZfT0/s1600/P1011387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIm6BDJVYRXTIFc_i2cycThyphenhyphenn1i_8WrtiRaC2ll4qB6mMwepqhVwvk9aOrf6Pgqy-PsqULFOBG9XZGCweo6uB0hrFpwoorpWD3kNB_7cK7b4ugm-mIxdGenrERr-5He-PGSmUYMAMZfT0/s400/P1011387.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-K6uLKklzfclxudOWQ0S-QC8XekT_NkbXsL9YDxLk2ji6K_MQ749Rf43h9OxWCnD3U8AP-V5XFFpHOcQklNo0rI3VgSDjg9LTX-deTtHuLNE963tZyP8RvHfryxMoZWlzWZn497uwY0/s1600/P1011392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-K6uLKklzfclxudOWQ0S-QC8XekT_NkbXsL9YDxLk2ji6K_MQ749Rf43h9OxWCnD3U8AP-V5XFFpHOcQklNo0rI3VgSDjg9LTX-deTtHuLNE963tZyP8RvHfryxMoZWlzWZn497uwY0/s400/P1011392.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCRanLFW3PwPJcoZ4zt3-Vhe-oi8Taoij9SEETWlholDGBFnTfWWv15tAiH1M_ZnLbXAkIGQfbN93T9MVRcRTSI6nWIl292MXFn47CJxCcYp-5uBtuXq0N32SaHnyw7VZ0iBAfMO2DAA/s1600/P1011393.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCRanLFW3PwPJcoZ4zt3-Vhe-oi8Taoij9SEETWlholDGBFnTfWWv15tAiH1M_ZnLbXAkIGQfbN93T9MVRcRTSI6nWIl292MXFn47CJxCcYp-5uBtuXq0N32SaHnyw7VZ0iBAfMO2DAA/s400/P1011393.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS_GhARzrpOMjRsmETLcnt4LLD4G5apZsmolfqWcxXHcMwxE5ZbG477XF8mVF4Nf11HPB1MbzEAh5nJ-vc-q8LyJbyiSsUxhm7XLIjczOxthH-Y5yvWKoqLpJB0OJaEy8799ngTZ6Sc2M/s1600/P1011395.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS_GhARzrpOMjRsmETLcnt4LLD4G5apZsmolfqWcxXHcMwxE5ZbG477XF8mVF4Nf11HPB1MbzEAh5nJ-vc-q8LyJbyiSsUxhm7XLIjczOxthH-Y5yvWKoqLpJB0OJaEy8799ngTZ6Sc2M/s400/P1011395.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjXKZWtcrmSNTUdBJQwCclnmytAIS95CGuAU47s6_8Yjx_yV3xDxVz4U2EpijYQGT5mChdk_w2MCUMVLmz8T8qQFLJHd7eDGbNV5Y98VIs2a8x46DuSUCSH1HaLjLpnaorTIHJwon8CaA/s1600/P1011396.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjXKZWtcrmSNTUdBJQwCclnmytAIS95CGuAU47s6_8Yjx_yV3xDxVz4U2EpijYQGT5mChdk_w2MCUMVLmz8T8qQFLJHd7eDGbNV5Y98VIs2a8x46DuSUCSH1HaLjLpnaorTIHJwon8CaA/s400/P1011396.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a gloomy Sunday morning when we arrived. After the company summer program, games and recognitions, then came lunch. It was buffet that the company arranged with EK, they also have their catering services that big groups may use (medyo matabang lang timpla nila). It started raining while we're having lunch and it seems that it has no intention of stopping. It was only a drizzle so we decided to head to the theme park and enjoy the rides.</span></span></div><br />

</tbody></table><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Despite the gloomy weather it was still jam-packed. People of all ages were all over the place. I'm no dare devil and is afraid of heights, but I am willing to try the rides as long as my 2 companions will try it with me. Pressed with time and with long lines, unfortunately we were able to try only 4 rides. Inside I was thankful that the space shuttle has the longest line ever (tapang tapangan lang ako pero para kong hihimatayin sa takot pa lang, what more pag nakasakay nako susmaryosep!)</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
