The Island

For first-time traveler to Subic, every inch of memory is worth-keeping.  The ferry ride to Grande Island and the first step out of the ferry and seeing the clear blue waters and the perfect mountain view heighten the excitement more.  But there’s one thing I missed out bringing, my “The Island” cd..   

Unforgettable Moments:

1. Snorkeling that made me see 3 Nemos (Thanks Renz, Mark and Len) and the many sea creatures unfamiliar to me.
2. The serious fright I felt when I lost the snorkel stopper hehehe
3. First “ouch!” encounter with the sea urchin.
4. First fall and loud scream at the banana boat ride.
5. The mini-trekking with the snorkeling group.
6. Unexpected fall at the pool courtesy of Mark.
7. First successful floating attempt at the pool hehehe
8. The Sheggydi smiles harharhar

I was just about to give a glass of Shakers to Mark who at that time was standing at the pool.  Caught unguarded of possible tricks, I found myself fighting so hard not to be pulled off to the pool but Mark was stronger than me.  *Plunge!* Hush Hush*  Thanks to Lottie for teaching me how to float, to Mae, Shem, and the rest of the gang for the "kulitan and wengweng moments".

But aside from conquering the fears in water, there’s one moment that I can never forget, one relaxing time that I enjoyed just looking at the beach and the mountains alone.  No conversations, no laughters, freer mind, just a looooong  silence.  It was one relaxing moment that I would want to experience over and over again.  It’s as if I don’t wanna go back to Manila.  It made me think seriously about things, people and events hehehe.  I love it here…  I left my heart at the heart of the sea… Take full responsibility towards your actions and your decisions.
