What I'm loving now!

Here are the things I'm LOVING now:

1) Tabblo

- online album is so much fun with Tabblo!
Try it out! http://www.tabblo.com/studio

2) Nikon D40
-I badly need a new camera.

Come to think of it this camera is rather cheap for a compact digital SLR.
It's worth every penny! *hint* hint*

3) My FRANCE Havaianas

- I just love it!

4) Scuba Diving

- I'm currently taking diving lessons

and I'm loving it already.

5) The beach - As always!

Cocobeach, Puerto Galera

The following weekend, we went to Cocobeach, Puerto Galera with the Fluxion peeps.

Here are my pics!

What a week!

Whew! When I got back from my Caramoan adventure...I was exhausted!

Why?

1) travel time from Manila to Naga -I forgot to mention that from manila it will take you atleast 8 hours to get to Naga City by land. We took the 8pm trip to Naga, so I was asleep most of the time and didn't really notice the long drive. But it was still exhausting!

2) jeepney ride from Naga to Sabang - 2 hours

3) boat trip from sabang to Gota beach - 2 hours. but this one I enjoyed because the views are amazing!

4) the bathroom in Gota Beach - we have to walk atleast 1km to get to the cleanest bathroom!

5) 500+ steps UP going to Our lady of Peace - looks easy but it's tiring...the only reward is the breath taking view when you to the top!

6) 500+ steps DOWN from Our lady of Peace - well, you have to go down right?

7) spelunking in Tagbon Cave - Until now I don't know why I even agreed to go spelunking. It was difficult & dangerous at times!!!

8) boat trip from Gota beach to Sabang - 2 hours. feels sad to leave Caramoan!

9) jeepney ride from Sabang to Naga - 2 hours. We were all tired by this time.

10) wakeboarding - holding on to a cable traveling at high speed...takes a lot of upper body strength

11) bus ride from naga to manila - 10 hours. on our way back to manila, our bus had a problem and we were stranded in God knows where for two hours. They sent a replacement bus to take us to Manila.


But when I try to look back...it's all worth it! would love to go back to Caramoan!

Day 6: Our last day at Naga City

Before heading off back to Manila. We decided to drop by CamSur Watersports complex to try out the much talked about Wakeboarding Center. Let me just say...it wasn't easy (atleast for me) but was a lot of fun nonetheless! Would love to try it again soon!

Just for Php165.00 or $4.00 per person you can go wakeboarding for an hour plus free use of helmet, lifevest and wakeboard.

Cool huh?!

Day 4: Island Hopping day!

Our last day in Caramoan was dedicated to Island hopping. Due to bad weather conditions the past two days, we have not visited all the islands that was included in our itinerary. So jojo, our guide, made sure we visit Matukad and Malarad.

Come take a look at my pictures and see why I LOVE CARAMOAN!

Taken at Caramoan, Camarines Sur, Philippines.

Come discover Caramoan.

Day 3: Our Lady of Peace

After our picnic lunch at Aguirangan Island we decided to go straight to Gota beach - our base camp for the next three days. It was my first time to pitch a tent...good thing some mountaineers helped us set up the tent making sure it will be able to stand the strong winds. We feasted on a sumptuous dinner prepared by Jojo's group. We were so tired already we decided to get to bed early.

The next day, we went for a swim in Gota beach and had some breakfast. We then proceeded to our lady of peace and tagbon cave.

Sorry, all i have are pictures taken from our lady of peace...enjoy!

Our holy lady of peace

 

It takes about  500+  steps going up to get to this point.

Magnificent view, right?

Day 2: Aguirangan Beach

Day 2 started off around 8:00 am - our meet up place was at the Kadlangan Outdoor Shop in Naga City. We met Jojo Villareal - our tour organizer and the rest of the participants (around 30+ pax). It took us almost two hours to get to Sabang Pier - our jump off point going to the Caramoan Peninsula. There was a slight delay because our jeepney had a flat tire. But everyone is in a good mood so no one even dared to complain.

We arrived at Sabang Pier around 11:30 am. A boat was arranged to take us to Bichara Island where we were supposed to take our lunch. But the weather wasn't cooperating...we ended up at Aguirangan Island for a little picnic lunch...

check out my pics!
