Apo: 2nd Largest Reef in the World (O ha!)

It's been on my bucket list for two years now and I'm really glad I finally crossed it out. Wagi hindi ba? Thank you Chyng for always inviting me. ^_^ Suki na ko sayo. lol!

I planned to do solo backpacking here before since I saw it on Lakwatsero's page. Naudlot ako dahil sa mahal ng boat. I can't afford to pay 8000.00+ no! Ang dami ko ng mararating sa perang yun (at ilang rebond na ang magagawa nun sa buhok ko.) No way! hihihi! Chyng must have had an idea it was a dream for me kaya sinama niya ko. hihihi!

Everytime I join trip, my excitement meter is always at its best. You know.. the idea of meeting new people.. experiencing place that is new to us.. meeting readers.. co-bloggers... yummy boylet (charot!). hahaha! Being an introvert kid, this is something I can be proud of. (Ang hindi maniwala mababaog)

Since its a holy week, airport is expected to be jam packed so for the record, I religiously followed the 2-hour allowance rule. Ayokong maiwan ng plane though I know a way how to sneak in if you're late. hihihi! (Dun ako sa employees entrance dumadaan at nag-aabot ng bente sa guard. hihihi!) Bribery? Heller! E ano ba mas mahal, yung bente o yung rebook?

I met Donnie, Peng, Otep, Jeng and Chyng at the airport. It was the first time I met all of them except for Chyng of course. At kamusta naman ang luggage pang camping. hahaha! Sha ako na ang hindi marunong mag pack light. The others went by bus + RORO. All the while I thought riding an airplane will save us from traveling long hours by land. I was wrong...

Ang cute ng clouds no?

We need to endure a 2-hours bus ride going from the airport to Sablayan.. paksiyet! hahaha! There we met the others - Gladys, Kendra, Aisa, Jay and Kate.

♫ Sa bukid walang papel.. uy! Ikiskis mo sa pilapil! uy! ♫

At hindi pa dun natapos ang lahat... Another 2-3 hours boat ride going to Apo reef itself. You better be gorgeous or else... uhmm.. wala lang.. wala naman na akong magagawa ke maganda ba siya o hindi. hihiih! Nandun na ko e. Sa sobrang tagal ng biyahe, pakiramdam ko wala ng kong pwet pagdating namin.

Meet my new found friends (Lto R) Aisa, Kendra, Gladys, Kate, Jay, Jeng, Otep, (oops! that's me), Peng, and pouting Donnie. I grabbed this from Chyng, obviously. hihihi!
