ANAWANGIN ISLAND

Sa lahat naman ng Mis adventures ko ito ang super natuwa ako... 

We hired a travel agency pra mas maging madali ang lahat sa amin... i contacted LAAB adventure and i never regret to na nagbayad me sa knila kasi they did take good care of us while we were in the island.

Day one... di na maganda ang panahon since may parating na bagyo, i was monitoring the weather the whole week and it seems na if ever magkaroon ng bagyo Lunes pa ang dating na ito..  so kahit mejo maambon,, we decided to continue r trip to zambales....

upon arriving in Pundaquit.. wlang bangka,...  mejo malakas daw ang alon  and they dont wanna risked it.,. i told kuya marc and alan to take their time... we would rather be safe in pundaquit than to have some problems sa gitna na ng dagat.. and they told us na tinitingnan na ng bangkero...

after an hour, dumating na ang bangkero namin... and we r all set to go to anawangin which is an hour boat ride... during the boat ride... nobody was talking.. kasi ang alon halos kasing taas na ng isang 5th floor building na halos di na namin makita ung bangka na nasa harapan namin... we all prayed , some of eyes nakapikit na lang, some, nakakapit ng mahigpit sa bangka.. ako sobrang kabado.. di ko malaman kung madarasal o iiyak ako.. nakakatakot nmn kasi talga...

matapos ang isang oras.. we reached anawangin and the rest is history ika nga nila  =)

Nung gabi.. halos di kami nakatulog kasi ang lakas ng ihip ng hangin, sobra.. sinamahan pa ito ng lakas ng ulan.... we just prayed na sana kinabukasan ay pagbigyan nmn kami ng isang magandang panahon..

Day two ..

Its a huge decision to make,,, the rain just wont stop and ang lakas ng alon.. r guides wants us to decide to stay in the island for one more night since di kayang punthan  ng bangka ang isla dahil sa laks ng alon nito or trek for 6 hrs going to pundaquit...   WE all agreed to just trek.. 

trekking was something i really wanna do for the past 2 yrs... pero there was no chance na magawa ko cya.. so upon hearing na magtretrek ako.. i was really happy and excited about it..
as a first time trekker.. i dont have any idea what to expect or do.,. pero since im there na... i would rather enjoy it  than regret Y IM on this situation...  good thing i came prepared.. dala ko ang aking trekking shoes which did helped me alot sa paglalakad sa madulas at matarik na bundok =). habang umaakyat ng bundok at tumatawid ng ilog, nais ko ng magsisi sa sitwasyon na kinalagyan namin pero lubos din namn akong ngpapasalamt sa laab guides namely Kuya marc, alan, robin at johnny, pati na rin locals ng anawangin / pundaquit na tumulong sa amin.. maraming salamt po.

This misadventure really gave this trip the Adventure im thinking off...masaya cya pero lubusang nakakapagod at nakakatakot.. after this trek..  i want to have more trekking adventures  =)

Lesson:  If the weather is bad wag ipagpilitan ang lakad!!!



BOHOL



Bohol would be one of the trips ill never ever forget.... aside from masaya sya.. this would be one of the trips na di ko inaasahang magmakaawa =(

I under estimated my Bohol budget.... i know its my fault kasi nmn ang dami kong nagawang activities... ang pananaw ko kasi andun na lang din namn ako,  y not try the things na di ko nmn madalas maranasan like bunjee or zipline....    (bad idea... i should have realized that before this trip)

after spending almost 4 days we all realized na kulang ang dala naming pera... but we still  need to spend one nyt in bohol to catch r flyt the following day.

Habang inihahatid kami ng aming van driver, everybody was quiet.... thinking kung saan kami matutulog? san kami magpaphinga? san kami kukuha ng pera? 

The van driver so super nice to us.... we asked him na dalhin kami sa isang lodging mura lang, kasi wala na kaming pera.... dinala nya kami sa lugar malapit sa airport, (walking distance lang) and  the place was called CABERTE travel and tours... 

OUR SAVIOR.. SALAMAT PO


We checked the rates pero sadyang mahal para sa amin.,.. we only have like 1200php (200php for 6 pax) 
pero, si ate ng CABERTE still wants us to pay like 1500 to 1600... she wouldn't agreed to accept the 1200 na meron kami..   manong Van driver did not leave us, and he asked " bawasan nyo na lang ung ibibigay nyo sa akin"  we are very thankful pero di kami pumayag.. masyadong hirap at layo ang binyahe namn and kuya driver was really nice, so bawasan ang upa sa kanya was really not a good idea.. so we still give him what we agreed  upon..

After sometime.. dumating ang AKA manager ng CABERTE... we talked to him, i talked to him.. having this words.."kuya im sure may nanay ka, may kapatid kang babae, may anak kang babae.... matitiis mo ba ang nanay mo, kapatid mo, or anak mo na babae na matulog sa kalye?,  kuya may 1200 po kami, we dont have 1500 un lang po ang kaya namin,,, if you want give us the smallest room and will try to squeezed 6 people on that room.. just take the money and let us stay here just for ONE NIGHT....
si kuya ay nag isip para sa kung anung desisyon nya.. we are all praying na favorable ito sa amin.. after a while kuya left..  he leave us with NO answer... mya mya.. lumabas si ate.. ang she said " ung pangalawang kwarto ang sa inyo"  .. super natuwa kami, at halos maiyak ako at sa wakas we have a place to stay na.... after a very long day... thanks God.
