LITERALLY, ISLA VERDE.

Even before the semestral break, me and my mates got to think of places to go through for a perfect get away to refresh our exhausted minds due acads. And we have decided to go for a beach trip. This time, I am the one who's assigned to search for our destination because they knew that I have traveled a lot and more engaged to beaches among them. Well, I didn't refer those beaches I've been before because I also wanted to go to new places of-course Hahaha! and I promised myself that I will not going to repeat travel destinations as long as there are choices. Then Suddenly I remembered, there are some places which my friend used to always tag us on facebook and it was all outstanding. So I started to search all over my time line and choose which one will be the coolest to travel. Upon scrolling, ISLA VERDE caught my eyes with its nearly paradise ambiance and clear-as-pool water. I shared it to our group-chat and YES, they agreed!

As we arrived the island, there's this rare feeling that rapidly came to me. It was unexplainable. It feels like I was starstrucked by a celebrity. We stayed there for three days and two nights and did lots of fun activities. Swimming, camping, photo-walk, and of course the highlight of this travel is my very first SNORKELING experience. It was my first time to bond up close to different kinds of beautiful fishes underwater. We also met a guy which happened to be a solo traveler. An enthusiast named Rodrigo Wong, 22-year-old Chinese Filipino from De Lasalle University, Manila. And since we're on the same place, we invited him to be on our company throughout our stay.

How to get there (Laguna Area):

•Ride a bus heading to Crossing Calamba Batangas Terminal. (33php from Victoria to Calamba)

•From Crossing to Grand Terminal Station of Batangas. (66php - Student fare)

•From Grand Terminal, Ride a Jeep that will take you to Tabangao Port (1000php rent per Jeep so better if you have 9-10 friends with you). You can also wait for other passenger if you are a solo traveler but I think it will take you a long wait.

•And from Tabangao Port, a boat to Isla verde. (100php)

THE DG MANILA

As I enter the world of fashion, I mean when I start posting OOTDs and squared photos on Instagram, I already declared myself as a Blogger. Never thought that I still don’t have any blogs then. Honestly, I really don’t have any idea of what a bloggers are doing before, until my friend introduced DG to me. At first, everything seems normal. I followed Mr. Guison and just casually liking his posts. But as the times passed by, I didn’t notice myself looking at his OOTDs first before choosing what will I wear for the day, meaning I am already captured by his outfits. And then one time, he uploaded something showing about the DGMNL App. Never knew that it can also be found on the Internet. Haha! That was my very first time to read a fashion blog ever. And I admit, reading is not my thing before. But today, reading David Guison’s blogs are already part of my daily basis.

I always found myself thinking of ways to meet this guy, ask him questions, chat, make my handkerchief signed with a diamond logo haha! and take a picture. And then I saw something about the #BU9xSMART. And then it happened, I attended and really enjoyed the event. But all my plans are ruined by shyness, except for the picture taking ofcourse. I know that next times are always there and I promise to do better. Maybe on Bloggers United 10 or we’ll just meet somewhere out there. Hoping that I already have enough courage on that day. Thanks for always inspiring your readers. Thank you David Guison (The famous blogger from Manila) From Alden Rebong (The frustrated blogger from Laguna)

WACKY!

The annual celebration of Santa Cruzan here at Victoria, Laguna. I’ve seen some of my classmates and friends who joined the said event. Hoping that it is the real essence of Flores de Mayo that we are still celebrating nowadays, not a road fashion show. ☺️🙏

Everything you can imagine is real. Sabi nga nila, libre ang mangarap. Pero kahit na libre ito at walang bayad hindi ibig sabihin na mananatili nalang itong isang pangarap. Noon isang pangarap lang din para sa akin ang palakpakan at hiyawan ng maraming tao. Hindi pumasok kahit isang beses sa isipan ko na mabibigyan ako ng pagkakataon para harapin ang isa sa pinakamalaking takot sa buhay ko. Dahil ang pagsali sa ganitong kompetisyon ay kahit sa panaginip hindi ko naisip na magagawa ko. Last august 15 2012 i have been very blessed to carry the title of lakan ng san roque. It is indeed a very remarkable experience that I will forever treasure in my heart, hindi lang dahil sa nanalo ako kundi dahil naranasan ko ang isa sa pinakamalaking pagbabago sa buhay ko. Pagbabago na nagmarka sa kasaysayan ng sarili ko at nagbigay ng pagkakataon para makilala ko pa kung sino ang tunay na ako. Ang gabing yon ay punong puno ng halo halong emosyon. Kaba, Takot, Saya at lungkot dahil alam mong sa gabing yon, matatapos na lahat nang kasiyahang sinimulan nyo. Lahat nang ito binigay sakin ng panginoon kaya nagpapasalamat ako dahil binigyan niya ko ng talino at lakas ng loob para harapin ang ganitong laban . Nagpapasalamat ako sa aking PAMILYA na nagsilbing lakas at inspirasyon ko. Saking mga Kaibigan sa walang sawang pagsuporta. sa mga taong tumulong para maging posible ang mga kagamitan sa pagtungtong ko sa entablado at sa aking mga kapwa kandidato dahil hindi ko naramdaman na ito ay isang labanan dahil sa panahong yon ituring namin ito bilang isang samahan. Ngayong gabi, may isang taong papalarin para ipagpatuloy ang aming paglalakbay na nasimulan. Kung sino ka man, harapin mo nang walang takot ang hamon ng ating responsibilidad. Alam ko na mararanasan mo rin ang bawat pangyayaring naranasan ko sa buhay ko nang makuha ko ang titulo. Ang pagmamahal at suporta namin sayo ang magiging lakas mo para ipagpatuloy ang isang laban para sa isang malaking pagbabago na mangyayari sa buhay mo. Muli, ako si ALEXIS DENNIS TALUCOD REBONG ang lakan ng san roque taong 2012-2013.
