Next stop sa crown regency 
The edge coaster was under renovation. Which was the main reason why we went to crown regency. It was 550pesos for one ride, 750 pesos for 2 rides and 1000pesos for 3rides. we decided not to take any ride at all.  So we headed straight to Oslob Cebu
We stayed at chateau de Tanawan homestay owned by ate venny, she can be contacted via mobile phone number 09179127783, Her homestay is right infront of Tanawan elementary school, 5mins walking distance to whale shark debriefing.  It was 350pesos per night stay without aircon, and 450pesosper night for a room with aircon. She was very accommodating. There was free wifi and free continental breakfast. We arrived around 10pm. She was able to assist us into her homestay… 
29th May 2015
Ate venny had her friend Kuya Roger to assist us going to the Oslob whale shark watching.
As early as 6am after breakfast, we went to the Oslob whale shark watching. There was a bit a lot of people by then.
First was debriefing.
do’s and Donts whAle shark..

They taught that I was a foreigner… They wanted to get 1k from me.. Syempre I spoke Tagalog… Edi nanahimik silang lahat.. Hehe

We paid 500 for diving with whale shark

On our way to the whaleshark feeding site 

Here are our pictures hehehe

After whale shark watching 
Next stop Kawasan falls 

 From Oslob to bato- 20pesos
Bato to badian- 40pesos 
At the entrance, we were offered a tour guide with 300pesos fee. We refused since we read in some blogs that it was very easy to get to Kawasan falls and we needed no tour guide. 
Our way to Kawasan falls 

 We paid 30pesos each environmental fee
300pesos – to rent a raft to the waterfalls 
100pesos ( for men to assist u pulling the raft) it’s a bit negotiable. ) two men needed so we paid 200. 
300pesos- to rent a table

We were ask to go canyoning.. But we refused coz we had plans already for osmena Peak in dalaguete. We won’t have enough time for canyoning.. So we told them prolly next time..
Our way back. Posing mode 
Next stop osmena peak..
We made a huge mistake…. We were suppose to take a motorcycle from badian to dalaguete city which was much nearer for 500each.  However we took a bus to carcar city for 78pesos each, A tricycle to dalaguete city 700pesos ( 235each ). Then from dalaguete bayan we took a motorcycle to the osmena peak. We hired 2motor.. The motorcycle charged us 400pesos each for going to osmena peak then back to Oslob… Anyways it was an hour from dalaguete bayan to osmena peak entrance… From osmena peak entrance it was about 30mins walk to the peak..
Our way to osmena peak registration center

Wishing well 
After a quick tour we headed to Cebu city.. It was about 3hrs bus ride to Cebu city…
We stayed at sugbutel hotel. Since we had no much time to search for a better hotel. It was a dorm type.
  May 31st morning 
We checked out early morning,went to travelers lounge Cebu city to drop our bags, paid 50pesos for storage..then we headed to crown regency..
We called crown regency and they informed us that the edge coaster was working. We were so excited.. However when we arrived there. They had a sign up that it was still under renovation… Napakamalas nohh super….. Then again Say NO to other rides….
At dahil under renovation ang edge coaster
Super pictorial kami dun 
Pasabog 
Pictures sa crown regency Elevator

Then we went shopping for dried mangoes, souvenirs and keychAins…
Afterwards decided to go to Mactan shrine for little tour
Mctan shrine is about 30mins from Cebu city 200pesos to 250pesos taxi ride. For me it’s cheaper to buy some souvenir like shirt keychAins, decorations at mctan shrine than at Cebu city.. But buy food pasalubon at Cebu city.. Mas Mura.

After mctan shrine we headed back to the travelers lounge to get our bags

Jump shot



We stayed for an hour and half 
We were scared maybe the waves might get bigger during the night. So we decided to leave early.
It’s actually best to stay there overnight. But we weren’t prepared at all. We had no tent, nor flashlight nor water nor food. So yea …

Last picture before going back to sea breeze resort


We got back home safely.
We thank God

When we got home, we were informed to take a short visit to cantingas river. It was a beautiful place.

Cantingas river was 15 mins drive from sea breeze resort. We paid 50pesos per head for the tricycle..I think it was abit too pricy. But it’s ok.

Arrival at cantingas resort

It was approaching night, was not able to take good shot. But the water was very very very cold from mount guiting guiting…..


After few minutes we decided to get back to the resort

It was a very stressful day…
But the adventures was all worth is.
Nature is beautiful, you can’t hesitate seeing.
After dinner, we were informed that the trip to Roxas city, our sea route to boracay. From Roxas to kalibo is an hr drive, kalibo to caticlan, caticlan to boracay island.. Pump boat schedule to Roxas city was at 7am and 9am every Monday. 
We decided to get to bed early and wake up for the 7am schedule. It was 4hrs pumpboat ride to Roxas city.. It’s gon be another long a$$ sailing. Haha goodluck…
Am just so glad about the cresta de gallo trip. Which was so amazing…….
 At the sea breeze inn we were given a room with aircon 300per head per night.


The room was nice tho With private bathrooms room. There was no tv tho. But I wasn’t worried about that because we didn’t stay long at the inn.

Boo escape 2014 – Bakasyunan resort Tanay

From manila to antipolo bayan PLDT

Jeep From antipolo PLDT to Tanay – 33pesos
Drop off jollibee Tanay.
Tricycle ride from Tanay to Bakasyunan resort – 160pesos (4pax- 40pesos each)- one way
The other way around from not paying 40pesos for tricycle fee is that you will need to get to the terminal jeep going to sampaloc. You’d only need to pay the regular minimum jeep fare 8pesos. They pass through the resort. But you’d have to wait until the jeep gets full til the top of the jeep before the driver start driving. (Punuhan talaga hanggang bubung ng jeep Goodluck nalang)
The beautiful view in Bakasyunan resort 
Infinity pool
300pesos entrance fee with use of infinity pool and tour around the resort
A lot of activities like zipline, horse back riding, carabao riding, atv, wall climbing, zorb, karaoke, billiards etc. Better check on their website for room rates and activity rates http://www.bakasyunanresorttanay.com. Best place for team building activities 
We chose not to stay over night since I have work at 10pm on same day 
Group pic Muna… Hehehe

We are incomplete again.. We missed others a lot

Hopefully we’ll be complete next time
Boo family
Present : joy, Bianca, emz, Kemji
Absent: Joay, Elai, Lalaine, rachelle 
I got there late as usual.. Hehehe but I was able to catch up with my friends. 
Our first activity was atv ride 
Solo pic Muna hehehe

Then we ate..
Food was allowed inside the resort but u would have to pay 200per head for the food corkage. Which isn’t worth it at all. So we decided not to bring any food but then buy food at the restaurant there inside the resort. It wasn’t that expensive. It was sure lesser pay than bringing food inside the resort and paying 200 per head food corkage fee.

It’s a quiet place. 
Not a well know  resort maybe coz it’s far from manila. Maybe abt 3 hrs from Manila.
But it’s very beautiful and quiet place. Place away from stress. The drive and expenses worth it.  
On way back to manila. They can call a tricycle for u, to get u to the terminal.
Terminal they’ve got van ride to antipolo, ortigas, siniloan laguna. They’ve also got jeep. Van to antipolo and ortigas 70pesos malayo malapit ung…

I was so excited for our trip. We had a budget of 7000each for all the trip. We prayed that everything would go well. We left home around 4am. Arrived the five star bus terminal around 5am. 
Our bus bounded for alaminos pangasinan left around 5:30am. Bus ride was 395pesos. It was a long drive to alaminos. We arrived at 11am. When we arrived at the terminal. We got a tricycle going to Brgy Lucar wharf for the hundred island escapade. Ride was about 20mins, cost 70pesos. We prayed to God that we find a companion for the hundred island tour. We register at the tourism office. Entrance fee was 20pesos per island. We were giving options.

With just the both of us, we were expecting to pay about 400pesos. With the 800day tour it would Include only 3 developed island of our own choice and also get to choose which island we could stay for a while. If we would choose service boat of 1400. It’s gon be unlimited island. Since we were on a tight budget, we asked the tourist agent that we would like to join other tourist in their boat and we would also share in whatever tour package they chose. We got lucky, we were able to find a family of 17 tourist who are willing to include us. They chartered the day tour which includes only 3island  tour and beach stay at children’s island.  They got 2boats worth 2000pesos good for 10perspn per boat. 2000persons shared on 19heads. We were required to pay just 105pesos. Tipid noh,… Hehe

Boo getaway – Cagbalete island

Boo friends again… Heheh

We left Cubao around 4am. Our friend emz had a car. So she had to drive.  We picked up our friend in ortigas around 4:30am. Then started our trip to Cagbalete island.
It was a long ass drive. Good thing my finned knows how to drive fast. We had to catch up the passenger boat from mauban port to Cagbalete island at around 10am. We took this route

 Stopped over jollibee in rizal to eat 🙂 we wanted to buy a bucket of chicken in rizal in which we could eat for our lunch there in Cagbalete. However we decided not to in the meanwhile coz it might get cold before we reach there. We decided to buy the chicken joy there in mauban port. 
As soon as we reached mauban it was 9am. We tried to look for jollibee in mauban or any fast food. But we could find any. We asked a local guy, he said there are no fast food nor carinderia there in mauban port. He suggested that we need to buy the food In the market and then cook it there in Cagbalete. We also asked if it was possible to buy food there in Cagbalete. He said yes we could but it would cost more. We decided to buy fresh food and cook it there in Cagbalete. 
We arrived the port around 9:30am. They told us the passengers boat which was 50per person to Cagbalete is now full and they already left. The next trip would be at 2pm. We decided to take the private boat. Private boat for 6-9 person would cost 2500 round trip. We were 8 so we divided it 300each. We had an agreement with the boat man to  come and pick us up at around 2pm the next day. 
Our trip to Cagbalete island was long ass sailing. Lol they said it would be only about 35mins.  But it was more than an hour ride. Trust me. When we arrived. It was very very low tide.
Anyways here is the main thing in Cagbalete 

The place looks good. Tho my friends didn’t like it that much coz it was always low tide.
We had to walk down  to swim but still the beach was just up to our knee. It was ok. We have up. Then started taking pics.
We checked in at villa cleofas resort.  

We had a bamboo hut for 1000pesos. Entrance fee at the resort was 50each. Although there are 5 of us, we told them that we are 4. So we paid just 200. Heheh  it was ok. The electricity in Cagbalete was from 6pm to 6am.  So u can charged ur gadgets during this time, It’s better to buy cooked food outside. But since that was no longer our option we decided to cook. In order to cook. We had to rent the gas stove it was 50pesos per burner per 30mins. Wow diba ang mahal hahah. The to use the cooking wares like pot plate and spoon is 50pesos too for ur stay. 

After cooking slimming ulit. Hehe




Public restroom was ok. Clean as expected.

A lot of people rented a tent. It’s more economical.  Night Swiming was ok. Still low tied tho.my friend was angry. Haha I told her it was ok. Lol. Abit of mosquitoes if u rent a bamboo hut better get off lotion. 


My view in the morning.

After breakfast. Picture picture ulit.





Getting ready to depart from Cagbalete.  We arrived mauban around 5pm.  Then arrived Manila at 9pm. Had a joy ride. Passed through Isdaan and pansol Laguna. Hope you guys enjoyed it. stayed tuned for my next trip. 😄😃😀😊☺️
