Contemplating


As I get to relax and ponder on at my office seat I decided to write a short analysis of what happens during I came back from my vacation with all the loads of paperwork's lining in and waiting to be signed and bothered by something else in my mind, I get to pause and re-think twice.

Many things happen for a reason, happy at the moment and later on sad. I was surprise to know that things are not permanently as they use to be and even the situations here in the place I work is indispensable. Being affected so far here and back home has given me insight that life as we know it is really unpredictable.

Moving forward, we just got to get going as life is a past phase like a bullet, better be ready and prepared for whatever outcome it will bring.

Best Vacation I have - Wanna Know Why?

I didnt even expect it will turn out to be the best so far in all vacations I have in the past as I was only there to renew my passport, not bad I guess as visiting places I haven't been and meeting new and interesting people that brought shed of light to my life onwards and the importance of it. Let me refresh my memories as to what happens during those period with my Regine's "Fantasy Album" as my inspirations while writing this...

Let me start my journey by visiting "Laiya Resort-Batangas" where I happen to purchase a small piece of property that will eventually be my retirement upon settling back to Manila for good. This resort is actually to be the home, vacation spots and gateaways by some of the famous celebrities like Renee Salud, Lorna Tolentino, Aga and Charlene and even Regine as I heard from my broker purchase a property. I wouldn't be surprise as the developer of "Punta Fuego" is making this to be the center of travel spot among local and will eventually attract tourist.


Another interesting journey in that place is that I was able to join with my long time friends on the other resort and had a quick but was indeed wackiest and enjoyable moments. Time flies as you can see mostly of them gained weight probably because we get matured as time passed but nonetheless to say they were great and no hang ups, no pretensions just be yourself and be whatever you want.

Next Journey, Hundred Island, Alaminos Pangasinan where I shared my fun and enjoyment with my family only.   After a haggard no rest trip from Batangas, I went straight ahead as the fiesta is just about to start that nigh I left Manila via Victory liner. Arrived in the morning and had quick nap and invited family to go straight to a place which considered to be the booming tourist spot destination. We had a quick tour from some of the amazing island namely 'Romulo Island, Childrens Island, Bat Cave Island where you can see in daylight the hanging Bat's, and lastly the Quezon Island where we settle and enjoy the rest of the day. My family mostly of my Nephews and Nieces had great time there as this was the first outing ever we had. I was happy to see them really smiling and enjoying every moment of it and for that I am relieved.


Then I headed to the south, this time "Palawan" where I brought my 2 best buddy Dave and Jay as we visit straight to Coron recommended by a close colleague of them by the name of Edge. We stayed in Inay Glo's humble resort house  but with fabulous tour package and fantastic serving of foods. The short stay was indeed a memorable as we get to see the magnificent islands, had a quick lunch and again made a tour, its good thing the weather was very merciful as we relish the scenery as well as the surprising formation of rock. One thing that cathes my attention as when we stop by to an island named "Twin Lagoon" where I was amazed by how this lagoon was preserved surrounded by a fabulous formations of rocks. I will never forget my experience as I even recommended it to my fellow officemates to do the same.

Last journey ended in Boracay in Caticlan, considered to be one of the world class beach resort and stayed in one of the best resort there "Fairways and Blue Waters". There I get to see a good friend of mine Joel and got to be introduce to some of his colleague Ava. Who would forgot Patch which surprise me too. I was even delighted to meet some of their Taiwanese friend the night they had a party at "Paraw".


The enjoyment I had, the fun and the good beaches extended my happiness along the way. The long stretches of white sand from station 1 to station 3 give me the best impression that Boracay was indeed "World Class Beach Resort".

On the concluding note, Why do you think its the best vacation I have so far, simple, mainly because I got the chance to know him more, short but very meaningful. It was then that everything materialize for the 3rd round. My first and 2nd visit was short as I have to leave for my U.S. trip. Any possibility of making it more and perhaps a permanent one? Who knows as time will tell. I am not closing my door as I know there is something very interesting that I need to know more on him. That "Something" is really a trademark indeed.
