puerto galera: sweeter the second time around

Weekend started with gian’s almost ten hours of commute from zambales to calapan, oriental Mindoro then me fetching him at kurba at around 03:30am of Saturday. Rested for a while then travelled from naujan to puerto galera on a jeepney with only three out of seven bolts working on one of its wheels. Whew! Transformer! 
this is what 10 hours of travel can result to
pagsasamantala in action. gian hates it whenever i take shots of him sleeping. sorry, love.:)
We checked in at sandbar hotel and tried snorkelling late in the afternoon. Gian is used to it but I found it frustrating. Im not used to breathing through the mouth.
welcome to sandbar, boquete island, puerto galera, ormin
we were only able to snorkel near  the shore so this is all that we got
ok, gian's turn







when gian finally returned the blue coral, he was amazed when he saw a crab-like thingy coming out of its shell. i don't know what it's actually called and i wasn't as interested as he is. what i enjoyed the most is how gian was sooooooo in to it. i have seen a lot of these things in the province, but the city boy is less exposed to this. he is more into reading and studying and knowing how things work.

gian: "look what i found , bu!"

hala cge, pati yan, ppikturan pa!
Dinner was served at the resort’s resto and it was almost perfect except for the palengkerang nanay. Umm umm! Ang ingay mo, nay. i bought fruits the day before so we savored and enjoy the fruit basket experience offered by Victoria, OrMin.


the food was served after 10-15 mins so we got bored

making faces

i combed my hair, promise
this is the nth time gian gave me a paper flower. upgrade please!

fresh avocado from victoria, ormin
Breakfast was complimentary the following morning so I pigged out on bread and butter. I’m Not so much of a breakfast person but whenever gian’s around, we really eat a lot. A lot as in we eat food for 4-5 persons. Company really affects appetite. The whole morning was spent eating. Eating. And eating. Swimming is our favourite sports and it's a good thing that we had the resort’s pool all to ourselves. Thank u ms elvie Garcia.
I LOVE THIS SHOT. my arm looks long and slender

the bread is mine

the usual
sizzling sisig

 We checked out before lunch and headed to white beach were we stayed at a friend’s transient house. The place wasn’t as cozy as sandbar’s but we transferred there so we could be closer to where gian ‘s boat to batangas docks. When the sun was low and its scorching heat is almost gone, we headed to the beach for our late lunch and super early dinner. We were so hungry that we ordered food for 3-5 persons.hahahahahha gutom. The gay waitress( may crush kay gian) was making kanchaw kc antakaw daw namin. Kaon gyud kay wla ra ba mi ginikanan sa Mindoro. We later checked out the tiangge for cheap finds. Mahina tlga aq sa tawaran.  When the funds are low and the debts are high. When we want to smile but we have to sigh. When care is pressing you down the beat, rest if you must but don’t you quit! We transferred from one tiangge to another to bargain and haggle for the best items. Nakakapagod pero it was all worth it nman. Our legs and feet were tired so we finally gave up and just sat on the beach while watching passers-by. We later decided to change to our swimming attire and played with the strong and very powerful waves of San Isidro.  It was my first time since I was a kid to play with the waves. Jumping around. Gulping sea water (ewww!). running around has never been that fun without my dear husband.


food trip

again
and again.

was busy with the tiangge and when looked for gian, i saw him busy writing this on the sand. that's "awwwwwwwwwww"
finally bought my wide.brimmed.hat. i need this for the 2o-ha tree planting project
the bubu pose. gian should show his arms so that mine will be partly hidden,:)
Then night finally came and we went back to our crib but it wasn’t really that late so  we agreed on a ice cream date night. i found out that I didn’t like the flavour of the ice cream when I already consumed half of the pint after 20 minutes, I think.hahahahahh


thanks to first sgt's wife

we went to the grocery store straight from the beach
what flavor?
magkakampi kme

i wanted drumstick lang sana but it's bitin so drumstick in a pint na lang.
Monday morning at white beach are lazy. The tourists are gone and the beaches are almost deserted. Gian opted for a massage. I didn’t because I didn’t like the idea of lying almost naked in public. But Gian liked to display his beach boddddeeeeehhhhh so ok, game.


gian's beach boddeeeeeehhhh!

manang, wag mo sakalin asawa q!

beach massage costs PhP 200. i prefer sydney massage in cainta. 2hrs for PhP299
I hate it when bubu time is almost over but we can’t do anything about it. Anyway, there will always be next time and more time nxt time. That’s three times in a sentence.

here are the other photos. check it out!
