The morning of the next day, we went to Coral Cove, still near/part of Sinandigan, Puerto Galera.

Yes, I’ve created a new category for blog entries called, Friend Testimonials. This is where I’m going to publish testimonials for my friends, which I’ll most probably write down and publish on their birthdays. These are testimonials similar to those we write for our friends in Friendster. Only, I will try to make these tesimonials more substantial since they’re going to be more public. I don’t promise to write one for every one. Huhu. I wish I could, and I will try.
After a hearty lunch at Patti’s grandmother’s, we went off to a secluded beach down a cliff a few meters from the house. They call it Dungon. It was a small beach, (with lots of rocks and stones, but that’s all right). We were the only people there (well, except for the divers on a boat a hundred meters off the coast). I’m a fan of secluded beaches. Beautiful.
EDIT: Darn, the photo collage says, “a small secluded beach in Sabang…” It’s supposed to be Sinandigan, not Sabang. I couldn’t edit the collage, I delete the original PSD files right after uploading the JPGs. Hehe.
This was supposed to be a UP CAST semender outing, but just like the past few semenders, members’ attendance was poor. But like the rest, always fun nonetheless. This time, AD, Marella, Kay, Jo, Patti, plus Glenn came. Patti’s relatives from Sinandigan in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, hosted us seven.
I met with Kay ang Marella early in the morning at Quezon Avenue. Caught the rush hour MRT to Taft. Hitched with Patti together with AD, Glenn and Jo to Batangas. We left Batangas Port on a motorized banca ferry before noon. Arrived in Sabang Beach by lunch time.
My mom and my younger brother celebrated their birthdays this week. April is actually the month where a lot of special people and friends celebrate their birthdays. My April calendar is full of birthday reminders.
Sorry for the unannounced blog hiatus. The past few days have been relatively uneventful for me. Spent almost every day in our grocery in Bulacan. It can get really boring for me. Sometimes I wish I had more student council work in school so I can excuse myself from spending the day in the store. I can barely wait for school to start again. But all’s well in helping out the business. I guess I just miss the summers when my time is all mine and I can decide to go online the entire day if I wanted to (which I really used to do).
I took this from Patti’s camera. I was near the cliff near the lighthouse at Sinandigan, Puerto Galera. Anyway, I have uploaded my Puerto Galera pictures here. As of now, I’m too lazy to write about the entire stay. Have a nice Holy Week vacation/retreat everyone!
Spent the past three days in Puerto Galera with some orgmates. It was my second time in Puerto Galera. Blog entries and pictures tonight.
