*ouch* anyway... let's start. oct 29 2004. i woke up and took a bath immediately, hoping to maybe get to use the internet for a while. and i was able to but got diconnected after a while. woke up my parents, jumped on their bed. went to the airport. tito ambeth wasn't able to catch the flight cause he was stuck in dumaguete!! WAHAHA. poor guy. he arrived sunday. we left monday.
the flight was err.. deadly. thank God for the free CANDIES!! haha.. yummy fox's candy. anyway.. i read a little of les mis and slept a little. when we got to palawan there was no signal!! DEYM!! we rode a jeepney for about 15 minutes and a boat for about 45 minutes or so.
it was BEAUTIFUL! the water was WOW. i cannot describe what i saw... when we got to Lagen Island we were welcomed by people i don't know haha! and we were given that leaf necklace thing. FEELING AMAZING RACE. haha.. then when we got to the lobby there were people singing. haha.. and NUTS!! we arrived there at around 3 pm, so you can imagine how hungry we all were!!!
LUNCH WAS SERVED. yum. i didn't know that the US ambassador to the Philippines was with us the whole time!!! hahaha.. right.. anyway..
after lunch, we were off to our rooms and rested for a while. then we swam since we were able to get beach front cottages. after that we went to the pool nd blah blah. dinner was MONGOLIAN BARBECUE. YUMMY!!! i felt like i was in heaven. i got dark na ata. hehe.. then i read a little of les mis and went to bed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLO CORONEL!!
oct 30 2004 i woke up pretty early because of isabel's kicking in the bed. rawr. so i read a little more les mis while she read my philisophy book. nice.. a 10 year old understanding philosophy. and she liked it!
changed then off to breakfast. woke up my parents then off to the boat!!! we went to this place where we had our intro dive. it was again BEAUTIFUL!!! haay.. i found NEMO!!! haha.. i touched him even!! the dive master made me touch the fishies and even saw a star fish! i wanted to see a shark. LOL. the 15 minutes under water was incredible. i want to learn how to dive now. sacki!!! you should've seen it. i learn how to dive and when you get back we dive together!
after that we went snorkling and i tried a little sun bathing. lol. didn't work. my color came back after a while. wala talagang pag asang umitim. then we had lunch in this island. food sucked but the water was GREAT.
then we headed to the small lagoon. it was again very BEAUTIFUL. i was kayaking with my mom. haha.. we were the reckless ones. everyone else had a sense of direction. lol.
after that tiring kayaking we headed to Miniloc Island for a swim and isabel and i TRIED to build a sun castle while reynan (our guide for the vacation) made gabrielle a bird and a fish made out of leaves. nice.. then we fed the fish. one was bigger than gab!! she was shocked and panicked a little to see that jack fish as big as her!! we were snorkling pa naman. haha! then we saw a blue star fish. i have a picture with it. YEY!
then we headed back to lagen.. watched the sunset even. then while we talked about whale sharks and dolphins, my mom goes, "dolphin!" and we all looked and the boat slowed down and BY GEORGE! we saw dolphins!!!! 3 groups of them!!!!! for about 30 minutes we were there just watching them! i got pretty good pictures of them too!!! grabe!!! galing... it was BEAUTIFUL.. they say that when you see dolphins there are 4 times as many underwater. we saw 10.. wow. 40 dolphins.
when we got back to lagen, we all jumped to the pool, took a bath, ate dinner, watched annie in the conference room with isabel and went to bed. satisfied.
oct 31 2004 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! i completely forgot. anyway.. i woke up again and read little again. changed and off to breakfast i went.
we rode a speed boat to the cathedral cave which smelled really bad but was BEAUTIFUL!!! then we rode our banca and on our way to the next cave we saw yet again.. DOLPHINS!!! wowee!! this time we only saw 2 times 4 that's 8. but hey, superlee galing! they said that when you see dolphins surface, it means that it'll rain. and sure enough, it did! drizzle lang actually..
then we went to the next cave.. i didn't like it there very much. it smelled bad and i think i'm claustrophobic. or whatever. anyway.. after that we headed out snake island. it's a sand bar shaped like a snake hence the name. it was funky actually. the water in one side of the island was cold and on the other side warm. weird.. we wanted to see sea cows! but we didn't oh well.
then we headed to the next island where we ate lunch and met up with tito ambeth who saw dolphins on his way to the island. food wasn't that good again but the beach was yet again beautiful. we had it all to ourselves. the waves were extremely strong though. good enough for surfing but had no equipment. darn.
to the big lagoon we go. now here's the adventure!! i was on a kayak with my mom and we kayaked to the big lagoon which was 6 times as big as the small lagoon. hehe.. then my dad who was with yaya and antonio realized that there boat had a hole and since they can't turn back had to stop every once in a while to let the water out. then i transferred to him and antonio to my mom.
tita aleth saw a baby baracuda!!! creepy. we were on a raft for a while since gabrielle wanted to swim but some of us (i.e. me!) were scared because of that baracuda that tita aleth saw. after a while we left and daddy and i started to kayak. we raced with isabel and tito jojo! but then.. dun dun dun.
mama couldn't kayak well so we tied them to us. and since we were slowly sinking, daddy and i had to row real fast. when we got out of the lagoon, the waves were really strong and we were still kind of far from the banca. so fast paddling we did!! half way there we weren't moving anymore and so my dad took out the rope that held mom's kayak. with the strong waves (remember! good enough for surfing!) i panicked and everyone else that were already in the banca started to panic too!!!
biglang woosh!!! my dad and i were in the water and i was really scared cause it was deep and baka may shark (hehe!). note: dad and i watched open water before going to palawan. my dad asked me if i could swim to the banca and so i did and left him there hanging on to antonio's kayak. then reynan swam to the rescue and we were all safe. good thing it was me in that kayak and not antonio!
when i got to the banca, i dried myself up and went back to sun bathing as if nothing happened. (hehe!) dad was kind of startled since 1, he didn't know how to swim and 2, he hates the water!!
after that we headed back to lagen and arrived early so we swam in the pool. after that i took a bath and realized that i was extremely red (woot woot!!) it sucks cause it hurts.
then we ate dinner and had a little halloween party. there was a fortune teller so i went ot her for the heck of it. useless. haha.. anyway.. off to bed i went.
oh and can i just share? at night, every time they fix your bed they have lush candies for you and a leaf that say good night or sweet dreams or yeah. there. hehe..
nov 1 2004 i woke up at 8 today. the latest yet for my whole trip. changed and ate breakfast. since the banyo there stank i decided to not take a bath (hehe..) packed my stuff and i was ready to go by 9. we were leaving at 1130. HAHA. so i entertained myself by walking around lagen and talking to the staff.
pretty interesting. they all seemed to like amazing race. haha! in fact the thing where they climbed? it was right beside where i stayed! cool noh? and where they kayaked? exagge ka layo! where the searched for clams? 200 meters by 200 meters!! exagge naman.
oh and that chip guy? the ass! he cheated! basta not the guy that won ha. i might have their names wrong eh. anyway..
finally it was 11! time to go home! time to get signal! we said our good bye's to reynan and he gave the kids some hats made out of leaves! it's superly galing!! haay.. and now i'm home. it was a bugger flying back...
