TOTAL Head Office at Puerto Galera

March 6-7, 2008

Nagsimula lang ito sa simpleng yayaan, hanggang sa naging Head Office outing na. Sa totoo lang, na finalize lang ito, 2 days before the event. Ayus din!


Kakatuwa, kasi ba naman, na-assign akong sumama sa pamimili ng veggies and fruits. I suggested na sa Libertad, Pasay nalang since malapit lang yung sa Buendia at dun kami sasakay papuntang Batangas Pier. In short, 4am, gising na ako (di pa excited to..hmmp) at tumungo na sa Pasay Rotonda to meet Eloi, Ryan and Janice who will accompany me in buying. Ayus talaga kasi fresh at mura pa ang mga napamili naming.

We are supposed to leave Buendia at 7am kaso, since we are Filipino, our time culture is really distinctive. Nah! So since ang napa-reserve naming boarding time is 10am, na-adjust to to 11:30am which means, naiwan na kami and we have to be transferred nalang sa next hour schedule. Nah again! Buti nalang at sikat na sikat si RSA dun. Biro mo ba naman, sa Balagtas, Batangas City palang, may sumasalubong na naghahanap ng nagpa-reserve na “Rosalin Amaki (it should be Amaqui)..hahaha! This time din pala, di Bryan ang nasakyan naming kundi yung Commandos / Russel John.


Exciting ang travel from Batangas Port to Puerto Galera. Nabigo man kaming makakita ng dol-phin-nal, nag-mukha naming surfing board ang bangka namin. Malakas ang alon dahil sa amihan. Wala naming nasuka, merong nahilo pero nag-enjoy parin naman.

As usual sa White Beach kami nag-punta at sa Nipa Hut Resort kami tumuloy. Napa-reserve na to actually, a day before the said schedule (Thanks RSA!) First things first, syempre kumain diba. Thanks sa mga chefs namin na sina RSA, FMS, CMV, MMP, Janice and Sharon. Galing nyo guys!


Syempre, we’ve done the most important thing. To enjoy the sand and the salty water of the beach. Weather is quite calm na though may konting raindrops nung gabi that’s why na-udlot ang inuman galore sa beach front. Maraming namulot ng tinatawag naming “gratitude stone” or “good luck stone” (Thanks sa movie na “The Secret”). Tinuloy naming ang gimik nung gabi. Nag bar pa kami don.

The next day was even more exciting kasi we planned na mag-snorkeling. Muntik nang mabulilyaso pero natuloy parin. Though di na ganong kaganda ang coral reef nila, atleast some of us manage to experience seing these corals and ofcourse, lumutang sa lagpas taong layo sa shore diba. Plus factor nalang ang ganda ng views.

Till next adventure.
