El nido: Secret Beach Revealed (char!)

It's been said that El nido is one of the most romantic places in the Philippines.. that you shouldn't go there alone.. that you should be with your special someone when you decided to go that far dahil maiinggit ka lang. Siguro dati I would say "Bring it on!", pero nung nakarating na nga ako finally, parang may nagtulak sakin sabihing "O tukso layuan mo ako!" hahaha! 

Well, what to do? Kahit pa puro magkaka-pares ang nakasabay ko sa van, sa boat, sa mga lodging house, alangan naman manghablot ako ng lalaki sa daan no?!?! hahaha! Honestly, I still enjoyed it! Promise..

Ay Sha! Enough of this Valentine Promo kuno (hindi ako binabayaran para diyan. hahaha!). I've posted my Day 1 and 2 entries. I entitled it "I've fallen for you" because I indeed fell in love.

I've already shared what's hidden on Hidden Beach...

Now it's time to share the secrets of Secret Beach.. (na alam na alam na ng lahat. hihihi!) Uy pwede atang tongue twister yung last statement. Try nyo dali.. ^_^

If you want to experience this paradise, choose Tour C island hopping package which I paid 900.00 inclusive of lunch. 

We've come to the most challenging part. Masusubok ang tibay ng balat mo. hahaha! Kailangan mong lumusot sa maliit na butas na ga-isang tao lang ang kasya para lang makarating sa Secret Beach. As we docked near the entrance, kinakabahan na ko dahil sa malakas na wave. Baka humampas ako sa bato ng walang kalaban laban. hahah! Nakalma lang ako nung sinabi ni manong boatman na mahina pa daw yun. Sh*t! Yun nga lang kinakabahan na ko e, pano na lang kung malakas na.. Baka duguan na ko bago pa man makalusot. lol!

Glimpse of Paradise

Successful naman akong nakapasok. Walang pasa, bukol, poknat o kung ano pa man. As usual sumakay ako sa likod ng guide ko. hahaha! Ginawang dophin? Thank you _______ by the way. Salamat sa paghila ng butanding. I truly appreciate it. If only I could remember your name.

The moment I had the glimpse of the beach, daig ko pa ang kiti-kiti sa likot kaka-picture. Every angle, every shot, under water or not, I was stunned by its beauty.

I can't think of any adjective to describe this place... I'll leave it up to you

Pwede bang secret na lang to forever? hahaha! Gusto kong pasalamatan ang mga unang taong nakatuklas sa sikretong paraisong ito. Amazing! Siguro lahat na lang ng makita niyang butas e pinasok na niya. hahaha!

Puma Ley Ar ikaw ba yan?! hahaha!

Limestone walls enclosed this gorgeous beach. It's really great that we're the first ones to arrive. Walang asungot sa mga pictures.

well, they're my guides

Clear?

We've seen the creepy underwater tunnel. Scared the hell out of me since the source of light is very visible in the opening so you can clearly see the fishes coming in and out of the surface.  Eeeek!

The columbian guy I was with found another tunnel just near that entrance and challenged our guide if his breathe can last til he found the way out.. At talagang yung guide pa ang hinamon e no. Walang ka effort effort si kuya samanatalang siya hapong hapo paglabas hahaha! His name is Luis Fernando by the way. Para lang akong nasa Mexicanovela pag naguusap yung mag-asawa sa bangka. hahah!

fail din ang under-over water view.. hay! kelan ko ba mapeperpek to o!

Para san pa ang underwater cam.. Let's go check it out!

fail na naman ang sea slug :(

fish tayo!

Hay! As we go along, El Nido never fails to amaze me. I would have to agree with other bloggers who've been there, sa ngalan ng kagandahan, sana it stays this way. Kung pwede lang siyang isikreto forever para hindi dumugin. hihihih!

Malapit ko ng ipost ang favorite beach ko.. Coming soon!
