REACTIONS

ITENERARY: Niq, bat tuwing nagpopost ka, lalo akong naeexcite pumunta sa Galera? please take care of the itenerary. i havent been there talaga kaya wala akong idea where to go and what to do. ako na lang ang tutulong sa yo. :) basta before we leave, gawa kna ng plan ng places na pupuntahan and yung mga activities na gagawin natin para pagdating dun go na lang ng go. hmmm. hindi kaya kulangin ang 2 days sa atin? hahaha. basta sulitin natin yung weekend na yun. minsan lang tayo makarating dun.

ACTIVITIES: ok na sa kin ang tampisaw at snorkel. basta my life vest ha. uhm, ano ba nakikita pag nagssnorkel? same din ba sa nakikita pag nagsscuba diving? sorry ha, least favorite ko talaga ang mga water activities. actually di ako mahilig sa beach. pero dahil kayo ang kasama, syempre makaka-hindi ba naman ako? naks! i used to be hydrophobic. ewan ko lang ngayon. di ko pa nattry makipag "bonding" ulit sa dagat eh. but just to make it clear, wala akong rabies ok? as for the hiking part, im sure type ni Ja un. dba no? hehehe. ok din sa kin yun.

PLACE TO STAY: i suggest that we stay in a place near the beach and as much as possible, yung safe. since lahat tayo lalabas para maligo or maghike, dapat yung mga gamit natin secured and of course to avoid peeping toms. syempre maliligo tayong mga girls dba? unless gusto nyo na one week after eh nasa Quiapo na ang mga mukha natin. hahaha. Niq maski first week of Feb matawagan mo na yung inn na sinasabi mo. pero kung gusto mo ngayon na. magpareserve kna rin. excited na talaga ako eh!!!! hahaha.

ABOUT LINO: magbabayad sya ng tax? February na ba ang bayaran ng tax ngayon? hindi na ba April? hay naku kung ayaw nya, di wag. mabuti na rin kung hindi sya sasama. panggulo lang naman yun.:p

Updates! Updates!

I was texting with an old friend last night who frequents Galera and he says there's a new place where we can opt to stay in: "The Nautilus Inn" which is fairly new and cheap. I have the number so we can call them for reservations or room prices. Then again, if it turns out to be expensive, we always have the cottages to fall back on. The cottages are nice, may aircon, may fan lang, your call. (Pero pwede po bang aircon? Kung ayaw nyo, solo na lang ako... heehee... Joke lang po!)

Here are the stuff I can think of that we can do:
  • Siempre snorkeling. I hope everyone's up for it! (I hope I'm up for it then... heehee)
  • Kung trip nyo mag-hike (remember, "hike, climb and dive"?) may mga guides who'll be willing to lead the trek to Tamaraw Falls. It's located in the heart of the district, but I gotta warn you, it's a loooong way. Seeing the falls is worth it naman. Promise.






  • I don't know if there are scuba gear there for scuba enthusiasts (meron ba sa 'tin marunong o may license?)...
  • Saturday night, bonding, inuman, lasingan, you know the drill!
  • Swimming sa beach. (Demz, di excuse ang di marunong lumangoy... Magtampisaw na lang tayo, ahahaha...)

Later, gators.

SAYA!

Wow! Every once in a while pala I get this fantastic idea that everyone else would like noh? Heehee... This site has gone full-blast! GEN, you're a genius, sa lahat ng kakalikutin sa blog, di ko alam maglagay ng tagboard, so thanks! DEMZ, i love the song, and i love your idea of a profile every month! Cool...

Now off to Oplan Galera, as Gen put it. I need to address Demz' queries:

  • We should take a vote whether or not to go on Feb. 18-19 or 25-26. The tag- or message board is right there sa kanan, nilagay ko sya sa taas, guys please feel free to suggest!
  • I completely agree with Demz. Konti pa lang tao nun. March magsisimulang dumami tao.
  • Again I completely agree with Demz, PLEASE confirm at least before 2 weeks from the scheduled departure na 100% sure sasama kayo... (Sabi ni Demz habaan ko raw pasensya ko, naubos na lahat yun nung bar! Kaya 'wag tigas ulo! Ahahahaha...)
  • As for the moolah, which is probably one of the more important concerns, when I was there in 2001 I only brought 2K with me, nakabili pa ko ng sarong na souvenir (binarat ko pa, ahahaha)... Which means, taking into consideration inflation, the increasing prices of gas, at ang hirap ng buhay ngayon, I'd say it would be safe to bring 3K-5K each. Kasi weekend lang naman so overnight stay lang tayo. Pero if you want you can bring extra, that's always a good idea since wala pong ATM dun, ahaha...
  • Ay, we can go snorkeling pa pala!!! Sarap yun! So Demz, if you don't want to swim we can go snorkeling instead! :)



  • As for the time and place of departure, we can finalize this 2 weeks before. Can I suggest (at kung di naman siya mag-o-object ano...) JayR's place to stay in on Friday night? :)
  • The specifics of the time and place of departure will be like this, as I have texted Demz: Dapat lahat tayo magkakasama na ng Friday night (paging JayR...) kasi we need to get to Alabang ng mga 3am. We need to get on a bus or a van (I think merong mga for hire, mas comfortable siguro yun) going to Batangas City Pier and we need to get there mga 6-7 am (not later than 7 please!) so that we can get on the 1st ferry out to White Beach. Pangit na nasa 2nd ferry tayo kasi tatanghaliin tayo... Dapat masulit natin yung oras.
  • Also, kaya mas magandang maaga tayo kasi pagbili ng tickets para sa ferry, yung mga unang makakabili, nasa "top deck", mas masarap mag-bangka pag ganun kasi sobrang ganda ng scenery, sobrang sarap ng hangin, basta!... Kesa yung nasa baba, puro tubig makikita natin. Heehee.
  • It's easy to get a place to stay for the night kasi marami nang bagong mga cottages/hotels dun since I was there. A friend says you can get a nice place, kahit cheap lang. Anyway it's just for 1 night.
  • LINO, miss na kita, sama ka!!!
  • Demz, promise you'll love the seafood! Food trip tayo, ahahaha...
  • At sobrang sarap dun sa gabi, iinom sa may sand.. Hmm... 'Lika na, wag na nating intayin Feb! ahahaha...
  • Any other suggestions, ang daming pwedeng pag-iwanan oh! May comments, may tagboard, pwede rin your own post... Let us know!

Hindi naman obvious na excited tayo noh? Heehee... So as of today, January 21, eto pa lang po ang nagconfirm: JayR, Demz, Ja, Gen, and me. Ahahaha, tayong 5 pa lang pala??? JIGS, ano???? Tuloy natin 'to!...

Let us know whatcha think ha...
