Coron: Listen to Momma, cuz Momma Knows Best

Coron is one of the places that is at the bottom of my bucket list. But since, everybody's going to Coron and they might make a movie titled CORON (eg. Baler, Camiguin, Panaghoy sa Suba   <--this is almost saying Come to Bohol) then, I might as well go and see for myself.

But Momma, being the kontrabida  mother that she is, has yet again warned me not to go to Coron.

Why?

Momma said: Wag ka na pumunta puro dagat lang makikita mo!!!

Pero, Momma, kilala mo ako! Mana ako sayo! Mapipigilan mo ako maglakwatsa, pero ang mga paa ko, hindi ! I <3 you Mother!

shot 10,000 ft above sea level. I told Goqs to shoot this island cuz someday, this  QC gal will own it. Talk about  Munting Pangarap!

Hindi prepared si James.

Parang cut and paste lang

Para may Picture si Goqs. taken at Banana Island. Can you see the borderline?? Where the aquablue and darkblue waters divide?

Of course, this is not a FUN trip without the Jump Shots. Jump.shot.is.a.must.

Paul doing cartwheels. Fail yan. haha!

 This was after a round of Dodgeball. It was super fun and super tiring! Some of us, including me had my share of buhangin. Literally, I ate the sand while playing dodgeball. Now, whose idea was it anyway???

Borderline. We looked like castaways.

What's with the borderline? It's what separates the aqua blue water from the dark blue water meaning pag nasa dark blue ka na, -biglang lalim na dun.

James, Faye, Paul and I were swimming without our vests on then we dared each other to swim into the dark blue water. I dunno but it was super funny and scary. ADIK lang talaga kami!

Momma said: Wag kang aakyat dun sa mataas and puro bato, malamok dun. Wala ka rin makikita pag akyat mo!!!

Pero, Momma, tingnan mo, kay gandah ng kapaligiran...!!!

Kayangan Lake. Kay ganda! The waters are clear,  mini club in the cave. Yes, Mini- CLUB! 

View from the TOP

Sampaloc Beach where we had lunch. We fed bananas to Crazy monkeys

shot in Barracuda? Kayangan or Twin Lagoon? I dont remember. 

Enjoy : Twin Lagoon: 

At Barracuda??? 

Twins at Twin Lagoon: Cold on the surface, lukewarm below. Eyelhuvv!

All in all, Momma isn't always right. 

(though, the trip would not be as enjoyable for Thunders as it was for us, Bagets.If you get what I mean)

I'm glad I'm travelling with these fun people. Because most of the time, the trip is not fun without fun company.

CONGRATTULAAAATIONS MELISSA!

It was a year ago when we had your despedida at Tagaytay but it seemed like it was just yesterday!
It was one of the best overnight trips we had!

Good food, good place and good company. <-- nothing beats  these...

Aussie must be amazing. But you know, HOME is where the Heart is. <3

Welcome back Mels!

All is Well

I finally had the chance to watch this DVD movie Jammy lent me days ago, 3 Idiots - an indian comedy film.

Yes, Keekoykool, Welcome to Bollywood.

When I think of Bollywood films, I think of  clownsy fancy comedy, full blast props and set, traditional Indian clothing - is a must and of course, lots and lots of choreographed dancing and singing. 

So Yes, check, check check and a big check! They were all present.

But I never expected that this will make it to MY LIST of feel good movies.

I swear on Bikram, (Yes, the Bikram Yoga, is the only "Bumbay" celebrity I know, well aside from Sushmita Sen)  that this movie is A MUST SEE movie. It has a great message for the society especially to the young generations of today. 

"All is well." is the main dialogue that is used through out the film and it tells the audience that in every uncertainty, one should not panic nor give up, that the heart is easily deceived and that one should be optimistic. <-- stuff like that.
