on April 5, Maundy Thursday, ten in the morning is the time me and my friend rachel decided to meet at the bus terminal of Jam Kamuning. it's been a year that we never see each other, we are excited to reach our destination and also we miss hanging out together like we used to do before. lucky when i arrived where we meet we stepped into the bus and off both to Batangas port. first we didn't slept during the trip coz we had a chit chat about our love life, work, etc.. we used a free wi-fi on board and you can see the password below:
after almost 3 hours we've arrived in our destination. i've been there last year and it was my fourth time and my third time to go with her and still there are lots of people there esp there are lots of gays there, oh well i wouldn't be surprised, yes that's what it's called "Puerto Gay-lera". as usual the management in Batangas port is unorganized. since that unorganized i caught the attention of a group of girls refunded their ticket from "Minolo Shipping Line". one girl is shouting and screaming (wearing blue scarf) coz they were there at 6am and yet at 2pm they still waiting there boat to go to the White Beach.
we are dragged almost two hours in this very long queue just to get our ticket. at 2:30pm was our time ticket but waited almost two hours into the waiting area before we board the boat. we were unlucky to have caught the "Father & Son Shipping line" boat instead of the “MSL”, which apparently notorious for sinking.
at 6pm finally we arrived, we finally arrived at White Beach. as usual it was a holiday there are already a lot of people eating grilled foods, swimming in the clear blue waters of the beach, , playing all games, sun bathing, covering each other with sands, building sand castle, tattooing on their body at the tattoo shop, massaging etc.. since we have friends there we visited him on his bar "Outriggger" rest for a while then checked and stayed into Trick house at Brgy. San Isidro Minolo 1km away from White Beach. Outrigger bar it is at the center of the night activities located in the middle of White Beach.
after we rested for an hour we took our dinner in one of our favorite fast food chain in Galera, "Food Trip sa Galera". they offer a variety of dishes. Chicken grilled barbeque stick, Pork grilled stick, itlog na pula with kamatis and talong, tasilog, tocilog a lot more. and what i love about their meals is that they offer unlimited rice. the prices are affordable too and they are open 24 hours. the waiter and waitress are so accommodating and attentive and they value good customer service.

after a fulfilling meal, we walked along the beach and checked out the establishment and booths where we can hang out later. at night the party never stops in Puerto Galera esp with the presence of outstanding bars like Mikkos bar, Outrigger and Tipzynakuuh's bar. we headed at Mikkos Bar, it is the perfect places to mingle, to chill, to share drinks, to meet new friends..
we had a lot of fun. the beach is too crowded, the night is so wild, the music is awesome. so many people dancing, shouting, cheering and having a good time. too bad rachel lost her money worth four thousand pesos.

the mechanics: we went through with the Tanduay bar game. the waitresses put the Tanduay plastic cap in your head with 8 red holes as you can see rachel's head, they will turn around the hole inside your head and you may choose or pick one hole. but one hole have a water inside. so if you are lucky to pick one hole of course you will get a freebies such as a Tanduay towel. too bad i haven't tried the game haha..
this is not freebies but they offered us a free vodka drink
Puerto Galera is famous for the alcoholic beverage known as "Mindoro Sling". its ingredients are rhum, grenadine syrup, Sunquick lime, mango juice, sprite, Sunquick orange, ice and slices of apple. every time we went there we always ordered Mindoro Sling. it is advisable to just buy a pitcher of Mindoro Sling than by glass.
there is also the stage of San Miguel Beer and Tanduay where mini concert are held. the Frenxy and EZ lubricant booth where they offer special prizes just by purchasing.

its like we are in total paradise where relaxation is the theme and everywhere there is.... FOOOOD!!!

april 6, Good Friday
we were supposed to go to Aninuan Falls but because of the belief and tradition for the Catholic church, Good Friday it is the week for ceremonies and rituals that recall the last days in the life of the Savior. Good Friday as they call it mostly some bad things will be happen. so we respect this day and just stayed and rest at home.
april 7, Black Saturday

Aninuan Waterfalls
april 8, 2012 Easter Sunday
the trip to Puerto Galera was very pleasant. we've met new friends too. the trip went all at first but when we are already half-way our trip the waves started pounding our boat. massive waves started to hit and water started to pour into the boat and all the people got panic and wear a life vest. rachel laughed at me coz i wear the life vest just like that *snap*. maybe coz i had an accident last year i was afraid of the massive waves. i can still picture the look of the people esp myself face when i wore the life vest in one second hahaha!!
like in most beaches, drinking water is sort of a luxury in Puerto Galera. stores usually sell 500mL mineral water bottles for 20 bucks each. however, i’ve seen a store there where you could refill your 1L bottles for only 10 bucks.
another fun thing to do in Puerto Galera aside from banana boat ride, kayaking, boating and snorkelling is to have a picture of yourself jumping. it’s really fun i tell you. didn't have much picture maybe because we've been there so many times.

to get to White Beach you can take a bus from a company such as JAM, BTLB or TRITRAN. you can leave as early as 6:00 am if you like or there are other departures through the day. from Batangas City Pier, take a ferry to Puerto Galera. there are a number of different arrival points so it’s a good idea to know where you are heading before you book. when you're there, walk along the white beach, and you'll see the other inns and resorts, one after another.
