PH - Dark

I'm with my two boys, Kulit and H, in the photo above... we were goofing around with the camera while walking the seashore of Coco Beach at Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. A summer treat vacation from the husband! (",)

A sample of a hanging flagpole, supported with four of the smaller poles around it. It was prepared by the Scout Master, Sir Dheck Nery. Taken last February during our last camping trip with the boy scouts of St. Andrew's School in Mt. Makiling.

Coco Beach Island Resort, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Phils.

From April 1 to 3, we went to Coco Beach Island Resort in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. A summer escapade treat from hubby. It's such a nice place, very homey and relaxing. A nature paradise as I may say it! Their staff are friendly and accommodating and they have a concept of a service family that will cater to your needs. The beaches we went to, are great also. My Little One really enjoyed the waters. He even picked stones for souvenirs. Over all, it's highly recommended to go to.

Weekend Snapshot - Our Very First Family Camping Trip

Weekend Snapshot

We had the Annual Camp of Boy Scouts of St. Andrew's School last Feb1-3 at BSP Jamboree Site, Mt. Makiling, Los Banos, Laguna. I'm one of the camp staff and also, my H. Our son came along too. Good for him because he got the chance to join the Boy Scouts activities. It was a great weekend for all of us (",)

Thursday Get Away At Villa Apolinario

Yesterday, my kiddo had no school classes. The school conducted a healing mass for their school staff and their families. We decided to go to Tagaytay to unwind rather than staying home. Before hitting the road, we had our breakfast in Jollibee, then took the bus going to Tagaytay. We visited Nanay Claring in her newly built house turned private resort, named "Villa Apolinario". We liked the place so much specially my kiddo. He had a great time swimming. He had the pool all by himself! While, I was busy taking pictures of the pretty flowers around the place. H (hubby) and I had a long chit-chat with Nanay Claring. She is such a sweet old lady. Fyi, this place can be rented. You can visit the website, http://villa.wayph.com for informations, contacts, rates and packages.

Super Ferry 15

It had been a week of fun in Davao. It's time to head back home and do our everyday routine. My kiddo wanted to stay but we have plans and schedules that we needed to do and follow. This time we sailed back to Manila in Super Ferry 15. It was a three-day ride, with the route "Davao City - General Santos City - Cebu City - Manila". We left Davao City, April 12 at 11.45 pm. We arrived at South Harbor, Manila, April 5 at around 4.00 pm.

It was quite an enjoyable ride, my first time! We almost slept throughout the voyage. Eating all the time on our waking hours! hehehe! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures of the food we ate on the ship (naalala ko lang kuhanan tapos na kaming kumain!)

Super Ferry's accomodations were okay. We got the stateroom. They have friendly staff though I must say their rooms needed some renovations (it smelled cockroachy to me!)... plus the airconditioning needed to be repaired, it wasn't able to make the room colder (malamig pa sa hallway!). They should also fix the receiver of the cable tv too! (puro chanel 2 ABS-CBN lang ang napanuod namin!) which by the way I hate watching because all the time it's telenovela! (wala ka man lang matutunan puro drama!).

And one more thing, about the food... I know it's a hassle to fall in line to wait for your food but it's worth it cause the food there is much more delicious than the one's being served inthe restaurant. My hubby and I having the accomodation for the stateroom and my friend, Tin, she got the cabin accomodation. Our food is served in a dine-in restaurant of the ship. While my son having the tourist accomodation, which by the way, we payed half of it only because he's under 12 yrs old, needed to fall in line for his food. What I did everytime it's meal time. First, I fall in line for my son and got his food, bring it upstairs and dine with us in the restaurant.
