<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Before 2015 year ends, from Malaysia, we decided to go to Thailand for some beach bumming. And from our hotel, <i>Krabi City View</i>, my sister booked us the <i>Seven Islands Sunset Tour</i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> (that's what they called the tour however it's not actually seven islands). It cost us 900 Thai baht plus 400 for Environmental fee if you wanted to include <i>Tup</i> and <i>Poda</i> Islands. The tour started at 12:30 pm by picking us from the hotel and ended around 8:30 in the evening.</span></div>

Sometimes in life they say, "you'd better get up and get lost!"...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I realize is that not everyday, you meet people that inspires you, however we choose them to stay and unlikely, some don't. But be mindful, God really knows when you needed vacation the most and He's kind enough to grant it just in time :)<br />

<br />
Three weeks ago was my first time to go scuba diving. I'm fortunate enough to have uncles who willingly teach and pay bills for these. One is a mechanical engineer and the other is an electronics and communication engineer. Well, it's not to brag about their profession but to show that diving is not just a recreation but is also a skill - a scientific and systematic way of having fun. Why? As what my uncle kept saying, "Diving is all about Physics!" But hey buddy don't get me wrong, you don't need to be an Engineer or excellent in science and mathematics to go Scuba diving, as simple as me and you can learn the basics, enjoy it and get lost down in the deep :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here are some basics of scuba (just sharing what they taught and a review of my school days)..<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <i><b>Pressure increases with depth</b> </i>- the deeper you descend, the more pressure you experience which means our body's air compresses. That explains why our ears experience pain or injury while descending. Thus, one basic of scuba diving is "Equalizing". One way to do it, is to pinch your nose and gently blow. Another one is to swallow or wiggle your jaw. As for going up, you have to ascend half foot per second so as to exhale dissolved nitrogen before it forms bubbles. Go slow and do not rush :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEJ3-e3I2RdVpz0bKPvhexFpAj-o8f5zjhzXNqvnSf3QIYbuUzrVWzryJcZzrhAM9uuFfEZeaXKPLB2Xwc_M39SRq-FTQDwXmyPYkG0TQBEFEoFnL-rCDQ-qvTbayb6Hrn4LGSgqdGu_g/s1600/Picture15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEJ3-e3I2RdVpz0bKPvhexFpAj-o8f5zjhzXNqvnSf3QIYbuUzrVWzryJcZzrhAM9uuFfEZeaXKPLB2Xwc_M39SRq-FTQDwXmyPYkG0TQBEFEoFnL-rCDQ-qvTbayb6Hrn4LGSgqdGu_g/s1600/Picture15.jpg" height="361" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <i><b>Buoyancy</b> <b>Control </b></i>- Buoyancy is defined as object's (or divers) tendency to float in the water. Still remember Archimedes principle? Which says, <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a
force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." -<i>wikipedia <span style="color: black;"></span></i></div>
<br />
There are many factors affecting your buoyancy like wearing wetsuit which is made from neoprene, your scuba cylinder, buoyancy compensator (bc), etc..<br />
<br />
But do you believe that by controlling your breath, you learn to control your buoyancy? Yes, our lungs is our natural bc. Exhaling deeply causes us to sink while taking a deep breath causes us to float. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And since two-thirds of our planet is composed of water, why wouldn't we wanted to learn to breathe on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So enough for science and mathematics, let's talk in lay-mans term. What did I discover down there?<br />
That there are many creatures waiting to play with you there... <br />
<br />

Who didn’t? It’s one of the most famous and most visited waterfalls in the Philippines. It’s written in our history books, taught by our teachers in <em>Sibika at Kultura</em>, and even included in the many exams we took during grade school. But little do we know that the falls is actually located in the boundary of Cavinti. And in 2009,<strong> </strong>the town of Cavinti submitted a proposal to the legislative to rename it as C<strong>avinti Falls</strong>. </p> <p align="justify">Cavinti Falls, like many other tourist destinations, has a folklore too. Filipinos looove stories. The more mysterious, the more it becomes interesting. </p> <a name='more'></a> <p align="justify">When we arrived at<strong> Pueblo El Salvador Nature’s Park and Picnic Grove</strong> (gateway to the falls), we signed the waiver and learned from the staff that the falls, also known as <strong>Magdapio Falls</strong>, is a story of love, bravery and tragedy of couple Magda and Pio,where it got its name. </p> <p align="justify">Magda and Pio can be compared to Romeo and Juliet. The girl is rich, the boy is poor. Parents are against their relationship and will do anything to separate them. But because they’re too in love, they decided to meet at the cliff, made a vow to forever and together they jumped off to death, along with their love and promises for each other. And as they fell with tears in their eyes, came the mighty water falls. </p> <p align="justify">After hearing the story, we then signed the waiver and proceeded to the much awaited endurance trek via <strong>Pueblo El Salvador Nature’s Park and Picnic Grove. </strong></p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7A7pV9KEEjg/VMCOCYzsmZI/AAAAAAAAIBM/qDzc-O8Sgg8/s1600-h/DSC03367%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LxruiOA_BsU/VMCOEw0O1bI/AAAAAAAAIBU/K5GSAwVpdoM/DSC03367_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="579" height="434"></a></p> <p align="justify">There are two options to reach the falls, you can either trek and rappel via Pueblo El Salvador or shoot rapids by the river. </p> <p align="justify">Pueblo El Salvador offers different packages:</p> <p align="justify"><strong>Package A- </strong>Trekking and deck view (<strong>P50.00</strong>)</p> <p align="justify"><strong>Package B- </strong>Trekking and rappelling via metal ladder, raft riding, entering the falls (<strong>P270.00</strong>) </p> <p align="justify"><strong>Package C- </strong>Trekking and rappelling via metal ladder, raft riding, entering the falls, boat ride exit to Pagsanjan (<strong>P1250.00</strong>)</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bcEYoOemP5M/VMCOK4uLmnI/AAAAAAAAIBc/W-ZpdUjCPbQ/s1600-h/DSC03311%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eaYyzjG6fAU/VMCONSFZwRI/AAAAAAAAIBk/B1gZAmpDiWo/DSC03311_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="533"></a></p> <p align="center"><em>Trekking made easy with this path</em></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-juFGKnUrVFI/VMCOQtEuSaI/AAAAAAAAIBs/rZZM9oZrapw/s1600-h/DSC03310%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--hETfvHyxik/VMCOTGcEZdI/AAAAAAAAIB0/-egMXqLIyRs/DSC03310_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="392" height="522"></a></p> <p align="center"><em>Yes, I did took a lot of shoeselfie because of it</em></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-qTMEVzX20E4/VMCOYIgKTiI/AAAAAAAAIB8/wVHYMpjGchE/s1600-h/DSC03335%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xVkl28ooSVs/VMCOawteITI/AAAAAAAAICE/7q7i4UE-dWQ/DSC03335_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="579" height="434"></a></p> <p align="center"><em>My buddies who never fail to smile all the way down to the falls</em></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8ZcfB8Yfc7c/VMCOfLilirI/AAAAAAAAICM/qoOOb3TC7E0/s1600-h/DSC03342%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OmH_1pvm17w/VMCOh41mGPI/AAAAAAAAICU/kUIBnvpz_O0/DSC03342_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="579" height="434"></a></p> <p align="center"><em>Vertical rappel is another part of the adventure. </em></p> <p align="justify">There are two vertical rappel we run into, and a steep (the steepest I’ve seen) metal ladder.

And thankfully, it was not that cold compared to Liliw falls also in Laguna, which so far is the coldest I’ve been to. I guess it must be the weather and the waterfalls flowing hard that made us chill. </p> <p align="justify">To access the falls and the cave behind it known as <strong>Devil’s cave</strong>, one must ride a balsa. This is a necessity and the most exciting part so don’t miss it. </p> <p align="justify">We waited in line, wearing our life vests and again captured the moments as the adventure begun.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PPCaYLG0bcY/VMCOy3UyxrI/AAAAAAAAIC8/h5Ek102HVk0/s1600-h/GOPR1598%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="GOPR1598" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="GOPR1598" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-P8dLHRteEnY/VMCO1rSKv4I/AAAAAAAAIDE/AFM0bHB4eJQ/GOPR1598_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="579" height="434"></a></p> <p align="center"><em>Life vests ON!</em></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sm_Z7goW3qY/VMCO598-qBI/AAAAAAAAIDM/CpAwzIPoUXw/s1600-h/GOPR1603%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="GOPR1603" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="GOPR1603" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-KBrSkiGTuAE/VMCO8cld0HI/AAAAAAAAIDU/sAmIfYvCLxE/GOPR1603_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="579" height="434"></a></p> <p align="center"><em>Still enjoying…</em></p> <p align="center"><em><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-sav3J_Bk1Zo/VMCPBm3cpnI/AAAAAAAAIDc/nzqjyWsijLI/s1600-h/GOPR1607%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="GOPR1607" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="GOPR1607" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jOQ4qQoFw6w/VMCPEDrn4uI/AAAAAAAAIDk/IIkU9QsyCdo/GOPR1607_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="579" height="434"></a></em></p> <p align="center"><em>Now see different reactions.

The sides are usually slippery due to little rain. You don’t want to slip and ruin your outfit so better be cautious. </div> <li> <div align="justify">Bring candy and bottle of water. But please don’t be a badass, put that trash in your pocket or bag. </div> <li> <div align="justify">Wear your trekking shoes/ sandals and only light and comfortable clothes. Also put on sunblock or bring scarf or hat for your protection against sun’s harsh heat. </div> <li> <div align="justify">When rappelling, wear safety harness as per guide’s instruction. (The rappel may not be that challenging for some but I’d agree, it’s better safe than sorry.) </div> <li> <div align="justify">Don’t forget your cameras, iPad, gopro, selfiepod, whatever you got. The view is picture-perfect and worth your OOTD (outfit of the day) so take chance. Click as many as you can.</div> <li> <div align="justify">Aside from extra clothes, bring personal medicines and first aid kit. Remember, it’s always better when unexpected happens and you’re ready.</div> <li> <div align="justify">Tipping a little won’t hurt. </div></li></ol> <p><strong>How to commute to Pueblo El Salvador- Cavinti Falls</strong></p> <ol> <li>From Pasay, ride a bus going Sta Cruz.

People all over the world are non stop in sharing picture-perfect moments of the things they love to do, may it be their latest travels, food, people, gadgets, pets, outfit, accessories, name it. I myself am guilty of that, and one thing I cannot miss not to share is the experience I recently had in Cavinti. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<b>Cavinti</b> is a third class municipality in the province of <b>Laguna</b>. Approximately a hundred kilometers away from Manila, this soon to be one of the hottest tourist destinations in the country boast not only its famous <b>Underground River and Caves </b>but you’ll be surprise of the many exciting activities and breath taking views any this humble province offers. And lucky me, I was able to try some of these during the <b>2-Day #CavEAT: Cavinti Eco Adventure Tour </b>for bloggers/social influencer,<b> </b>initiated by Herald Bebis for the Municipality of Cavinti headed by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mayor-Milbert-L-Oliveros/308985439266529">Hon. Mayor Milbert Oliveros</a>.</div>

Now let me share you few picture-perfect things we experienced during the tour which you might also want to try when in Cavinti.</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<b>1. Breakfast and photo op at Bumbungan Eco Park</b><br />
<br />
This was our first stop during the tour. Here, we had a simple breakfast (puto dinuguan for the win) under picnic huts and took pictures of the place. The vicinity is made interesting by the overflowing water that look more like a dam or a mini waterfalls to any one who visits.<br />

<b>2. Buy sambalilo (hat) at (Kalakal) Pandan Weaving Center.</b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
Incorporating sambalilo in your ootd (outfit of the day) is a good idea isn’t it? And trust me, you’d better appreciate the product you buy once you see how it’s done.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">

<br />
<b>3. Trek down the </b><b>Cavinti Falls aka Pagsanjan falls and take selfies along the Pueblo El Salvador Nature’s Park and Picnic Grove </b><br />
<br />
When in Cavinti, never miss to <a href="http://footontheloose.blogspot.com/2015/01/pueblo-el-salvador-natures-park-and_21.html" target="_blank">explore the exciting <b>Cavinti falls</b></a> formerly known as the <b>Pagsanjan Falls/ Magdapio Falls. </b>To reach the falls, you can either trek and rappel or go for boating. If you want adventure or just to test your strength and perseverance, I suggest you go for the trekking and rappel. It took us more than an hour trek and numerous selfies along the way. <br />

After we conquered the challenging falls, we then climbed up back to <b>Pueblo El Salvador Nature’s Park and Picnic grove </b>where delicious meals were served. And finally, headed to our next stop, Camarin Resort. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<b>4. Do the pang-cover photo<i> </i>pose at</b> <b>Camarin Resort. </b><br />
<br />
This is one of my favorite spots because of the calming feel the place offers. I just wish it wasn’t raining during the tour so I got more time to see the place. <br />

<br />
<b>5. </b><b>Emote at</b> <b>Lumot Lake. </b><br />
<br />
If you want to mend a broken heart, boy this place is oh-so-perfect! You can just look at the lake that mirrors the sky, surrounded by trees, lushes and shrubs. And go home with a clear and renewed mind. Aside from this, fishing is also another activity that can be done at the lake.<br />

<br /></div>
<b>6. Go inside the Cavinti Church and its Bell Tower</b><br />
<br />
Cavinti church also called Transfiguracion of our Lord Parish was built between 1621 to 1645 by franciscan missionaries. If you go inside you will observe that the old architecture of the church has been well preserved and maintained up to now, which make the entire structure picture perfect.<br />

Japanese garden, our last tour destination, can be an ordinary garden on the outside, little do we know that it was actually a shrine created by Philippine-Japan Friendship Society in memory of the Japanese soldiers who died during an encounter between the Japanese and Filipino-American troops in the World War II.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two weeks ago, I was invited by a good friend to the newly opened Café at Mt. Cabuyao, Benguet Province owned by a corporation of her father in law. It is named Café in the Sky. Never heard of it. But it intrigued me that they kept saying it is located near La Presa. So where is actually La Presa? Well Admittedly am not a big fan of ABS-CBN Teleserye "Forevermore" starring love team Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano, where they featured Benguet strawberry farm. However when I saw the place, my eyes can't get enough of it,. you will know when you see it :)</span><a name='more'></a><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So here's the catch about the café as some of you may be asking now..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From Manila, take a bus going to Baguio City at Cubao Station, fare of an air-con bus is 450Php.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a 30-minute ride from Baguio Town Proper. Actually there is no direct mean of transportation going there. You may rent a taxi from town proper which will cost you roughly around 250 pesos. But of course some of us have to save a penny for our travel. So you might want to ride a jeep going to Marcos Highway junction and from there, you get to rent a tamaraw fx which may cost you 150 pesos.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(But as of the moment as an update from my friend, due to very high demand on holidays, rates of taxi and fx had changed. Approximately 1000 to 1500 pesos back n forth on taxi fare, so it is suggested to hike from turning point which is around 5 to 7 km)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because it is up there at around 1987 meters altitude above sea level. Well, no wonder it was named Café in the Sky, believe me when I say you may have an up close encounter with the clouds and almost touching the sky :) of which most of us got fascinated. </span></div>

<b>White water rafting</b> is an exciting adrenaline-pumping activity one must not missed when in the Philippines. This outdoor activity that makes you shout your lungs out while navigating on a whitewater gets a lot of people hooked. Unfortunately, there are still many who never had a chance to try it due to lack of time or budget to visit the provinces famous for water rafting like Cagayan de Oro, Kalinga or Davao. </div>

<i>Braving the rapids</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The 10km stretch was packed with fun and thrill. Full of shouting, paddling, laughing and taking photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The water level here is classified as level 3 which means moderate to difficult. Our group experienced a LOT of difficulties with this 21 rapids. Ask them, they’d probably laugh as they remember. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many obstacles along the passages made me hold my breath in excitement. But I guess, the most difficult yet memorable part for me was when our rubber boat hit a boulder that got us stuck, leaving our boat filled with water. The trained guides told us to abandon the boat while they maneuver. Getting off the boat was harder than I thought. The current was hard to resist, you really need a hand to hold. Good thing the boatmen were alert and they really prioritized the raft passengers' safety. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Along the stretch, there were other spots too that are quite relaxing. You’ll see fishermen. Kids playing, bathing. There were many birds too. And, a stop where you can swim. But please be reminded to always ask someone to watch your back and never underestimate the water. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 3 hour adventure ended up as we arrived at the take out point where a <i>binalot</i> meal was waiting.</div>

swimming in the deep sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> However, the fear I have nurtured</span> through the years kept hindering that dream- to swim in the ocean without any

paralyzed my whole being :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the training camp held at Subic, Olongapo, I have realized I am not
the only one who suffers the same dilemma. There, I have seen how fear can
actually robbed us - fear to get drown, fear of heights, fear of the unknown,
etc. I have seen my own struggle as well as others. But the greatest part is how
I saw behind those fainthearted lies great men and women who conquer and faced their fear. </span></div>

Getting around Intramuros, Manila on a bambike was a cool idea. Even better with people in love with Philippine history.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday, I had my first Intramuros Ecotour on a bambike (short for bamboo bike). And to my luck, I was able to ride with fellow bloggers and the <b>Bambike </b>owner/creator/eco tourism developer and a cool guy <b>Bryan McClelland. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Bryan first introduced Bambike to us through a video presentation then he let us pick our choice of bambike for the tour. Here are some facts about Bambike:<br />
<a name='more'></a><ul>
<li>Bambikes are handcrafted by a group of skilled BamBuilders (bamboo bike builders).</li>
<li>Bambike frames take approximately 50 working hours to build. </li>
<li>The select species of bamboo they use are at least as strong as steel
in tensile strength and have higher strength-to-weight ratios.</li>
<li>Most of the frame is made out of bamboo. The lugs (or joints) of the
Bambike are made of abaca fiber and resin. The component interfaces, or
connection points, are made out of aircraft-grade aluminum. </li>
<li>Bamboo bikes, frames and other stuff made of bamboos can be purchased online or on BamBike store located in Manila. </li>
</ul>

Bambikes were very light to look at. And how they look on the outside are also how light they are when used. <br />
<br />
Bambikes were tested before the tour to know if the rider is comfortable or needs a change. Helmets were also provided in the tour. And of course, an obligatory group photo before heading out.<br />

Some places of interest we visited were Plaza San Luis Complex, San Agustine Church<br />
Baluarte de San Diego Gardens, Puerta Real Gardens, Escuella Taller, Baluarte de Dilao, Puerta del Parian, Plaza Roma, Fort Santiago and more. Tour ended as we went back to the Bambike store and talked about our thoughts on Bambikes.<br />
<br />
The two and a half hour ride (plus the sun's intense heat) was pretty exhausting yet enjoyable (not to mention educational). It was so fun I almost forgot to slow down at times. I commend those BamBuilders for a well done craft. It's truly a privilege knowing that riding on a hand-crafted bamboo bicycles can contribute to the development of the country and it's people.<br />
<br />
Aside from it's advocacy, cycling also promotes good health and less stress (due to traffic). I hope city developers and urban planners, consider incorporating bike lanes on their future plans. <br />
<br />
Few tips for those joining Ecotour; wear sunblock, don't forget your safety gears, bring extra bottle of water, towels and extra shirt, medication (in case), cameras and a smile to people you see on the road. <br />

Living in a tropical country with no occurrence of snow, I easily get fascinated whenever I watch TV shows about people experiencing
snow, wearing thick coats and boots, making snow man and throwing snow
balls. But, I remember my own piece of snow when I was little.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only place I experience snow was in our fridge. We get formed ice and slip it inside one's shirt. Then our play time started. Our little experience scraping those snow flakes was totally fun up until now but to have it in a much bigger venue was even better!</div>

As we entered the <b>Trails to Antarctica</b>, the first thing we saw was not snow. Inside is a mezzanine area where you can see the Oceanarium below. Walk straight and there you'll find the Penguin Exhibit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trails to Antartica has 4 activities: <b>Slide O Fun, Penguin Exhibit, Antarctica hall way Exhibit and Snow Village. </b></div>

Penguins were so cute to look at. I enjoyed watching how they dive, swim and walk. Oh how cute they walk!!! Now I'm thinking of adding to my long bucket list this: get so close to penguins at their natural habitat. <br />
<br />
After the exhibit, our next stop was the Snow Village. The staff inside told us that it's the last activity so we might as well try other activities first. Then, we headed to Slide O' Fun.<br />
<br />
Slide O Fun is a quick 2 minute slide. So quick I didn't even feel it (Joke!).<br />

After the slide, came the Snow Village!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First things first, wear your jackets! Others don't like to wear them but for me, I needed it. I just wished I brought the <i>sosyalen</i> coat mom gave me. Then we entered the room, wearing our excited smiles and all cameras ready. The staff warned us about our cameras getting moist but it's not prohibited <i>naman</i>. Just a plain warning. </div>

Snow Village is.a.big.fridge! A room (not so big) covered with snow on the floor, walls and ceiling. Even the ducts has snow! There are penguin displays, pine trees and benches. Also penguin designed path walk to avoid slippage. </div>

During our visit, thank God we (me and the
cousin) were not the only persons inside. There were 4 Americans too, and a group of men doing
some shoveling and digging work to share the coldness with. But after few minutes, our other companions left. It's just me, the cousin and the men digging.</div>
<br />
The room was not so big. You can go around it in a minute I guess. <br />
<br />
<i><img alt="DSC01910" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xST4zWZ9xMo/U7NS8YHH4aI/AAAAAAAAHl0/IdHYvUHcM44/DSC01910_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="465" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC01910" width="620" /></i><br />
<br />
We stayed inside for 10 minutes. The staff said, there's no time limit <i>naman so bonggang sinulit namen ang pag-papalamig. </i>We took lots of pictures, watched men at work, walked around, joked about living to a place with snow, laughed at our red noses and played with our breaths. <br />
<br />
It was indeed a fun experience until, our skin felt numb. One side effects of cold environment. Then I realized, we needed to leave the snow village.

Then, Engr. Grace Bondad Nicolas, Marketing & Branding Consultant shared to us a brief background about Paradizoo as one of the many theme parks of Zoomanity Group. According to her all the animals and vegetation in Paradizoo can be purchased mainly because the farm also breed and reproduce animals and plants. </p> <p align="justify">On our tour, we get to know more about farm animals as Karen (our guide) smartly answered most of our questions. We also learned about flowers, butterflies and bees. And as we reached the highest elevation of the farm, there was the Zing line ride, and in just a few steps, lies a <em>bahay kubo </em>(nipa hut)<em> </em>where you can buy variety of herbs, fruits and vegetables.</p> <p>Having different kinds of herbs and vegetable plants at home, I loved the idea of selling plants in an affordable price. Each seedling/plant costs P50. We bought Tarragon, which is really a good mixed to coffee, and Basil for pesto. </p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6ZY3dvzxrlo/U7F8bFrKJfI/AAAAAAAAHcM/uInZRQZP8fI/s1600-h/2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="2" style="border-left-width: 0px;

If you’re not a fan of animals in captivity, <b>Zoobic Safari</b> isn’t a recommended place for you. But if you’re one curious adventurer who only itch to see what’s inside the famous zoo, then I guess one visit won’t hurt. </div>
<div align="justify">

Last Thursday, I made my first visit inside the 25 hectare zoo. Inside are the many attractions from <i>Aeta Trail</i> to <i>Subic Park</i> to the popular <i>Tiger Safari. </i>The entire place was indeed something you will find interesting on your first visit but my <b>3 Best Attractions to look forward in Zoobic Safari</b> are:<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
1. <b>Bird Walk</b>. It was really the funniest and most memorable part for me. Guess why? Ah yes, the stinky smell is given. But the reason really was because a number of birds who look a little similar to a vulture approached me like they wanted to eat me. At first, I thought it was normal for them to be that friendly to visitors. Then I noticed, they were only after the fruit basket I was holding. My heart raced fast when I realized that. Of course I can’t just throw the fruits and run. So what I did was, hand the basket to the tour guide. </div>
<div align="justify">

<div align="justify">
Maybe if not for him, I should be a hit on Youtube by now. Lol. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Another fun thing to try at the Bird Walk was the Bird feeding. It was ticklish yet addicting. Only that, you need to buy feeds for 10 pesos per small pack. </div>

<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
2. <b>Camel</b>. Because it was my first time to see a camel, I had to do an obligatory selfie with it. The funny part was, I almost had my first kiss, <i>with a camel! </i></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/t31.0-8/10275525_10203841773195731_7634409270094530984_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="camel zoobic safari" border="0" height="475" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/t31.0-8/10275525_10203841773195731_7634409270094530984_o.jpg" title="camel" width="640" /></a> </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
But camels, for me, were the coolest and kindest looking animal I fed. The people loved the camels because they don't just attack unless you reach them the food (in my experience). Plus, they're attentive at the cameras. <br />
<br />
3. <b>Tiger Safari</b>. Of all, here’s the popular Tiger Safari where you get to experience a ride inside the tiger’s territory and see them up close eating raw chicken. </div>

<b>The Verdict</b></div>
<div align="justify">
Restrooms are clean. One thing I love the most!</div>
<div align="justify">
Tour guide is approachable but not so energetic. Though I can't blame them as their job is really tiring. </div>
<div align="justify">
The entire zoo is educational but animals looked unhealthy. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Will I go back? Honestly, it's not something I'd die to see again. But then, second visit won't hurt either.</div>

<b>Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery</b> in<b> Laguna</b> is only a few minute walk from our second home in Nagcarlan but we never had the chance to see what’s inside. It was just lately that I finally sneaked a peek in the town’s historical landmark. </div>

I remember growing up in Nagcarlan, our go to summer hub when we were kids. Our <i>tito </i>(uncle) drove us here, to his in laws residence, then to some undiscovered falls or stream nearby for a swim.</div>

<div align="justify">
The cemetery was not really our main spot for adventure nor it was included in our itinerary. Though a lot of times I get curious as we passed by. </div>

<b>Facts about Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>It was established in 1845 by missionary Fr. Vicente Velloc</li>
<li>1974 was the last underground burial </li>
<li>Only bodies of priests and elites were buried underground while commoners were buried in the ground level </li>
<li>1981 was the stoppage of burial and the same time declaration of the cemetery as a National Landmark</li>
<li>Twice a year a mass is held at this church one on Aug and one on November</li>
</ul>
Visiting a historical landmark and satisfying my curiosity was like going back in time. Only that, you need to wake up so soon because the entire tour only lasted less than 30 minutes, depending on the number of visitors. <br />
<br />
The Underground Cemetery has no entrance fee. Only donations. And guide will be provided once you sign up the visitors' sheet. Our
guide Emman was really kind and he made sure we understand the history of the landmark.<br />
<br />
After the tour, just like our regular summer, we looked for a nearby pool
(lucky we found Villa Sylvia Resort) to dip in before we go home.

Our Puerto Galera getaway, as mentioned in my <a href="http://footontheloose.blogspot.com/2014/04/misadventures-and-lesson-learned-in.html"><span style="color: red;">previous post</span></a>, was totally unexpected. A lot of things happened the other way around. We were fooled by some close friends, left by the last boat trip, lost, got broke, name it. Everything was so spontaneous but it did not stopped us from enjoying starting Day 1.<br />
And on Day 2, the thrill got doubled. Oh well for some it's probably a normal one but for us, it was one hell of a ride!<br />
<br />
It started like this. Cristina and I decided to walk from white beach to Aninuan Falls with the confidence in mind that we can get there easily. We passed through Tamaraw beach and Aninuan Beach but still no signs of where to go. Then we found a local. We asked about the falls. He told us that it will take us more hours to get there so better go to Talipanan falls instead. After asking a lot more questions, we followed his advice and take the route he showed us. <br />
<br />

<br />
After 30 minutes walking, still no falls spotted. But there, we found the Mangyan Village, where the real natives of Mindoro lived.<br />
<br />
In Mangyan Village, life seems so carefree. Children can play anytime they want. Women do the house chores and sell their art piece/ weavings. Men find some at the mountain. The place is pollution free. No internet connection but who cares?<br />

<br />
Now back to the thrill. <br />
<br />
As we were ascending to find the Talipanan falls, we experienced weird animal sounds, mini falls which we thought to be talipanan but not, <em>buwis-buhay</em> trek, insects all around, small bodies of water at some part and big boulders all around. <br />
<br />
The path was filled with silence. Nobody was there except for us. Yes it was scary knowing we were the only people there. But boy, we haven’t seen the falls yet and we’re having fun with our funny-full of sense conversation, why stop now? <br />
<br />
So we walk and walk until, we hit our limit. Cristina slipped on the boulder and almost fell from a 10ft height from where we were standing. She fell on her back and quickly anchored her hand to my legs. I was in total shock but immediately grabbed her. My heart felt so scared that moment and I knew from there, we had to go back even though we haven’t reach the destination yet.<br />

<br />
On our way back to the road, one amazing thing happened that filled up our energy tanks. We heard a humming bird! Yes a freaking humming bird, like in the hunger games though not of the same tune. But It was sooo cool! Like I never heard anything like that in my whole existence. In the movies, yes but in real life? That’s crazy! I felt crazy. I was in awe! It was just so overwhelming. (<em>Lakas maka-Katniss Everdeen) </em><br />
<br />
Later did we realized that fears suddenly turned to joy. God’s love <em>really </em>never fails to put everything in balance. <br />

After that tiring trek, we went straight to the white beach via tricycle for 120 pesos. Rest for couple of hours then headed for a nice meal and a relaxing swim. <br />

<br />
Now here are some <em><strong>tips on how to enjoy Puerto Galera on a shoestring</strong>.</em> Follow at your own risk.<br />
<br />
1. Be with someone you can be crazy with. I was lucky Cristina’s craziness level matches mine (even more).<br />
2. Do your research. Or at least know the places you want to visit beforehand. <br />
3. Try to be flexible. When something unexpected happens, learn to adjust. <br />
4. DIY itineraries will always be the best and most memorable. So on your next travel, start doing it yourself. <br />
5. When visiting sites that require trekking, always hire a tour guide. That’s for safety purposes. <br />
6. Always bring sunblock, scarf, hat, goggles, floater and swimwear so you don’t need to buy for these. <br />
7. Never forget your camera and capture the good times. <br />
8. Make new friends but know your limits. <br />
9. Relax. Grab a massage for <i>w</i><em>e only live once</em>. <br />
10. If you can’t avail the tour package, so be it. Learn to be resourceful. Go swimming, star gazing, trekking. Have it your way because creativity (with action) is what makes every adventure a memorable one.

<div align="justify">
<br />
It was <em>April Fools Day </em>when Cristina, a dear friend of mine, sent me a message on FB, “<em>Let’s go to the beach</em>”. I replied to her without a second thought “<em>Leggo!</em>”, knowing the fact that everyone’s after epic pranks and jokes on April fools. Call me gullible or impulsive but I can’t help it. Beach is something I just can’t resist. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Good thing, she wasn't really joking after all. So, with the remaining penny in my ATM, I packed all the needed stuff. Of course I did a little research about <strong>Puerto Galera</strong> beforehand, then I meet her. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
We also invited a couple of friends to join us. But asking them on April Fools Day was a BAD idea. In short we were fooled, that’s okay though. At least we learned one thing: <em>Never trust your friends on April Fools!</em> Lol. But seriously I was still grateful they accompanied us to Buendia on our bus ride to Batangas Port. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
And from there, our series of (mis)adventures begun. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<strong>From Buendia to Batangas Port</strong></div>

<div align="justify">
After 2 butt-numbing hours, we reached Batangas Port at 5pm (just in time for the last trip). We were so happy and excited as we were rushing to the cashier. Too bad, the boat already left. What.a.disaster! But <em>nah, we aint goin back!</em> Going back was a no no, so we looked around for other possible options. If you’re in a hurry, you can choose from any of these:</div>
<ol>
<li> <div align="justify">
Ride a special boat trip for 700 pesos each one way. </div>
</li>
<li> <div align="justify">
Wait inside the port until 7 am (earliest boat trip)</div>
</li>
<li> <div align="justify">
Boat ride to Calapan and from there ride a van to White Beach.</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div align="justify">
Of these 3, second was my choice and the most exciting coz I never had a chance to sleep inside a port yet. But in our case, we decided to find the nearest yet cheapest lodge in Batangas. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">

<em><br /></em></div>
<div align="justify">
<strong>Macro Lodge, </strong>one of the cheapest nearby lodge according to the tricycle driver. We paid a total of 650 pesos/2pax for 12 hours- that includes an ac room, single bed with a not so properly cleaned linen (made me itchy the entire night), wifi (with no signal that time), a malfunctioning shower and a yet another memorable experience. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<img alt="DSC00225" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sTv0ABUV89o/U0zGnzLSd4I/AAAAAAAAGiQ/ce2ghzQJWrs/DSC00225_thumb5.jpg?imgmax=800" height="641" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC00225" width="544" /></div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
After dinner, we decided to sleep early to catch the 7am trip. We were already ready to enter dreamland when we heard someone trying to open the door! It was disturbing knowing that we’re both ladies and far from home. Then, we decided to call our friends and informed them where we stayed, double locked the door with a knot and sleep on shifting. Thank God nothing happened. We woke up safe, took a bath and hurried to the Port.<br />
</div>
<div align="justify">
Oh how paranoid we were! But then mama once told me, it’s not bad to be a little more cautious while traveling. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">

<div align="justify">
The port is just 15 minutes away from the lodge so we arrived prior to our 7AM trip. There are food stalls and booths inside the port. Some people will try to offer hotels and tour packages. Just be nice to them. Ask if you must but be sure to do your research so you can compare prices. </div>

<div align="justify">
White beach in Puerto Galera can be travelled more or less 2 hours from Batangas Port. Roundtrip ticket is 500 pesos while one way is 270 pesos. We bought the 2 way ticket since it’s cheaper and can be used anytime we want. <br />

<em><br /></em></div>
<div align="justify">
Upon arrival to White Beach, first thing we did was to look for a place to stay. For those in a tight budget, I suggest you book 1-2 months prior to your visit because peak season/last minute booking is a bit pricey. In our case, we made it all on the spot but thanked God we found <strong>Myra & Medeleines Place. </strong>It’s nice and clean, but not that expensive. The price of that room in the picture is 1500 pesos/ night but we haggled to 2500 pesos for 2 nights. I know it’s still a bit higher compared to some blog posts I’ve read, but it’s not that bad. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
After settling, we had our lunch at Marginors and went back to the lodge to rest. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
At 3pm, we knew we had to go somewhere. Somewhere not so pricey. Good thing I found this DIY Itinerary (thanks to <a href="http://www.ambot-ah.com/puerto-galera-oriental-mindoro-2-day-itinerary/"><em>ambot-ah</em></a> for this) that made it easy for us to enjoy without much needed money. <br />

<div align="justify">
<br />
When at the tricycle station, don’t be afraid to haggle. But do it with conviction. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
As you can see the fare to Tamaraw falls is 800 pesos. We tried to haggle to what fit our budget but they didn’t agreed. So from there we decided to just go down the town proper and ride a jeepney passing through Tamaraw falls. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
At the town proper, the tryc driver offered 600 but no thanks we’re decided to make it our way. Finally, he agreed to 500 for a quick tour. Sweet deal! <br />

Kuya Danny (tricycle driver) also brought us to some places like <strong>Aplayang Munti</strong> where you can spot this carved Mama Mary. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
At 5pm, we’re back to the White beach. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
At the beach there’s this boat called <strong>Liki Tiki. </strong>It’s a floating bar that intrigued me as I saw people jumping off from the second level. I thought it would be nice if I tried it for once since it’s my first stay in Puerto Galera. Besides I already tried jumping off once, so what’s to be afraid of.<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Bm1ezyEstPI/U0zG9B_klkI/AAAAAAAAGk4/IFZtj-BuZXo/s1600-h/DSC00302%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC00302" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-wNL-AqQG9Jk/U0zG9-jFC9I/AAAAAAAAGlA/IspIZ3vE8tY/DSC00302_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="378" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC00302" width="630" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8CxiZesxBhw/U0zG-8m-ZUI/AAAAAAAAGlI/CINv_l53pOg/s1600-h/DSC00301%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC00301" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Y-Aa4_6BorU/U0zHAEV4nAI/AAAAAAAAGlQ/lS1O4X4vXm0/DSC00301_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="471" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC00301" width="628" /></a><img alt="DSC00300" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qTqJKviDbkw/U0zHBF8HI7I/AAAAAAAAGlY/zZGHv6e2Q8M/DSC00300_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="471" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC00300" width="628" /></div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
I jumped off twice since there are 2 jumping point from the boat. I tried the lower first because the other point kinda freaked me out though the difference is not that much. Also, just so you know, I never done this for the first time but the feeling of falling still freaks me out every now and then. Good thing Cristina did a great job cheering me up. So, I did it just before the sun disappeared. Then we headed back to the shore. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
While walking, Cristina and I decided to go home the other day and get our refund for our remaining night since we were running out of budget. We already agreed to enjoy the night, grab a good dinner and get a massage instead of staying another night. And we did! Unfortunately, after all was done, they did not agreed to the refund. Bang!<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
We were like, <em>what are we supposed to do now? </em><br />
<em><br /></em></div>
<div align="justify">
My bad I trusted so much and did not read the rules well. But it’s okay, we just had to let it passed and enjoy the rest of our stay. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
And just what we asked for, our Day 2 in Puerto Galera was much more amazing than both of us imagined. (<a href="http://footontheloose.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-unexpected-puerto-galera-day-2.html">Click here for our Day 2</a>)<br />

Good news is there are so many resorts nowadays offering sweet scape over the weekend and just near the metro. But if you want something different,<br />
<a name='more'></a> something that will really separate you away from the busy city life, no cellular signals so your phones will only serve as a flashlight, camera or radio. yup, not even electricity can hinder you with your precious time. Well, this camp date is the one you've been dreaming - the now famous Anawangin cove at San Antonio, Zambales.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Points to Remember before heading there,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Bring your own tent or rent a tent. There are available nipa huts to those who doesn't want a tent.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRPBgFe5sEJMwW1gTM-t6RThtnVdbZE56SlPd_vOyZ01uQ71PJdwAgCpIdGtKjkKr76bEOWDHs22C8HREgSf2i_WzE5WOfy_WbYxfWlHoWGpYGxV_3s47A6YsGZsQhpIpsIrrfUl9lxU/s1600/IMG_2762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRPBgFe5sEJMwW1gTM-t6RThtnVdbZE56SlPd_vOyZ01uQ71PJdwAgCpIdGtKjkKr76bEOWDHs22C8HREgSf2i_WzE5WOfy_WbYxfWlHoWGpYGxV_3s47A6YsGZsQhpIpsIrrfUl9lxU/s1600/IMG_2762.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Pack foods just enough for your consumption. But worry not, there are mini stores in case you forgot. You can also buy chunk of woods there for cooking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHCtEIUc1AEuo5pKTTLInVJTkFKkF8pjldO1hmWPLvqFWxyg3PstnyvS2d196jdGONrzKNSU_OtGpFz6zAC229aqNBJPqw6uRF4_-DquBUhSa-RgYTipTaXxwCaQr5OkahNCo47mFU1Y/s1600/IMG_2775.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHCtEIUc1AEuo5pKTTLInVJTkFKkF8pjldO1hmWPLvqFWxyg3PstnyvS2d196jdGONrzKNSU_OtGpFz6zAC229aqNBJPqw6uRF4_-DquBUhSa-RgYTipTaXxwCaQr5OkahNCo47mFU1Y/s1600/IMG_2775.jpg" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Again, no electricity so bring flashlight to give you light in the middle of the night when going to the toilet/shower area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Lastly, be environment friendly. You don't want future generation to not experience this kind of beauty, nature has to offer. </div>

Pinatubo<a href="http://footontheloose.blogspot.com/2014/03/trek-to-mt-pinatubo-lake.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Mt Pinatubo " border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-a2yPD-KdV1Y/UzD2LR6LEEI/AAAAAAAAGcc/RAeWW_-r1Jc/DSC09816%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="1025" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Mt Pinatubo " width="577" /></a> For those of you planning a <a href="http://footontheloose.blogspot.com/2014/03/trek-to-mt-pinatubo-lake.html"><span style="color: red;">trek to Mt. Pinatubo</span></a>, here are some tips:<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Do your research.</b> Read some blogs and learn from the experience of people who have been there. </li>
<li><b>Travel light.</b> Trekking to Mt Pinatubo can be pretty exhausting. Day trip is one hour bumpy 4x4 ride and an hour trekking. You don’t want much baggage when you trek, do you? </li>
<li><b>Eat heavy breakfast.</b> Don’t worry you will burn it along the way. </li>
<li><b>Wear trek clothes</b>, anything light and something that dries fast. And bring an extra shirt if you have an excessive sweating. </li>
<li><b>Wear appropriate footwear</b> that can be used both for rocky road and little river crossings. No heels and weak step ins please. <a name='more'></a></li>
<li><b>Bring sun protection</b> like cap, sunscreen, sunglass, scarf anything that’s not so heavy. Umbrella is optional. Some in our group were able to use theirs while I used my water-resistant jacket. </li>
<li><b>Bring food trail and a liter of water</b>, or more. My bad was that I only brought a 500ml bottle of water coz I thought I won’t be that thirsty. I was wrong! </li>
<li><b>Don’t drink too much when trekking</b>. Bathrooms are available but not in every corner. </li>
<li><b>Talk to the tourist guides</b>. They tell history of the place better than some history teachers. </li>
<li><b>Don’t bring swimsuits</b>. Swimming is no longer allowed in the lake. </li>
<li>Don’t break the rules. Signages are all over the peak so behave for once. </li>
<li>Of course,<b> never forget the important</b>; your cameras, cell phones (no signals at some part but you can bring it for emergency purposes), personal medicine, first aid kit (if you’re clumsy like me), packed lunch, vanity kit (to wash the <i>lagkit</i> away) and plastic for your trash. </li>
</ol>
And that’s all. If you have some more ideas to add, please comment below. Happy trekking guys!<br />

Pinatubo Lake<b>Mt. Pinatubo Lake</b>, located near the boundaries of <i>Pampanga, Tarlac</i> and<i> Zambales</i> provinces in the Philippines, has been one of the tourist attraction in the country, not only because of its extreme adventure experience but also for the history behind its grandeur.<br />
<blockquote>
On 1991, Mt.Pinatubo erupted. 364 communities were affected. 2.1 million people, damaged. 73,000 houses, destroyed. 86,000 hectare farmland covered with “lahar” or volcanic ash. (<a href="http://www.islandsofthephilippines.com/mt-pinatubo-extreme-adventure/">Source</a>) </blockquote>
Imagine how catastrophic it was! But then something was proven that <b>the greater the devastation, the greater the restoration. </b><br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
Mt. Pinatubo’s <i>lahar</i> laden lands of Crow Valley, is today the beautiful waters of Lake Pinatubo. The boulders and rock formations are just some of the breathtaking views one must look forward when trekking to Mt. Pinatubo.<br />

Water is too tempting, I know! But swimming isn’t allowed anymore. Our tour guide said it was because of the drowning incident that took place. Also boat ride and other Pinatubo activities were still unavailable, sad to say.<br />

After getting enough pictures, and we knew it was enough already, we headed up for lunch. And trekked back to our 4x4 bumpy ride. <br />

<div align="justify">
Everyone of us had a bucket list to share. Mine was always the joy of travelling. Maybe we are on the same boat. And so I wrote this for the thrill of adventure. This year, I was able to cross out one of my list. And that is, my desire to go to Palawan. Yes, it happened early this year and that was, so far, the best ever vacation we’ve ever had. Can’t really get rid of Palawan… <img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZWK_Y3esP1c/UdV7SYmqYxI/AAAAAAAABrA/TNM-yfOCYMY/wlEmoticon-smile2.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /></div>
<div align="justify">
In my search for places to where would I be next, I bumped into this article of <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/2013/islands">World’s Best (Top Ten) Awards 2013</a>. And to my amazement, Palawan ranked 1st on the list with the score of 95.04 ,.yey!! cheers to that <br />

“Palawan is composed of the long and narrow Palawan Island, plus a number of other smaller islands surrounding the main island…It has 1,780 islands and islets, rocky coves, and sugar-white sandy beaches. It also harbors a vast stretch of virgin forests that carpet its chain of mountain ranges.” – wikipedia</div>

And for the rest of the top ten islands, here’s the data from travel + leisure magazine :<br />
1. Palawan, Philippines<br />
2. Boracay, Philippines<br />
3. Maui<br />
4. Santorini, Greece<br />
5. Prince Edward Island, Canada<br />
6. Bali, Indonesia<br />
7. Kauai<br />
8. Sicily, Italy<br />
9. Koh Samui, Thailand<br />
10. Galapagos, Ecuador<br />
<br />
If I would be asked a million times, I still love to go back in Palawan, over and over again <img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZWK_Y3esP1c/UdV7SYmqYxI/AAAAAAAABrA/TNM-yfOCYMY/wlEmoticon-smile2.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /><br />
So why should you wait and leave your dream to chance. Its time, everybody’s been talking about it, you only have to go out there and surely you’ll never regret. Truly, Palawan is the Philippine’s Last Frontier and crowned as 2013 World’s best Island. <br />

Terrain with drop-offs, steep inclines and gradually changing sands slope will excite you more, but if you’re looking for a comfort, sorry this might not be the one for you. Imagine our pace is somewhat faster when we are reaching heights and then suddenly drop downhill, just like in a roller coaster ride although not that smooth. </div>

We yelled, we shouted, our knees trembled at first. But thank you to our nice driver, he let us know if uphill is coming and we are about to climb high. Truly, an adrenaline rush.
