THE SOUTH PACIFIC ONE Puerto Galera, Philippines As October approached I began planning this season’s adventure. In March I agreed to go Puerto Galera, Philippines on October 21st with Sarina, from my dive club - The Emerald Sea. She booked us an all-inclusive five day dive package at a great price. I began my dive travels five years ago in Puerto Galera and I enjoyed it so much that I thought I should return. The question was “Where did I want to go after that week?” My planning was complicated by a worsening pain in a tooth. I had a root canal that never really healed. I saw the dentist every week or two for several months and even with x-rays he could find nothing wrong. I was concerned about booking an expensive trip and finding ... read more

Magneten og den rare tyskeren

Jeg er tydeligvis en undercover "tiltrekker-seg-alle-rare-ekle-halvfeite-sexgale-merklige-menn-"magnet... Hva er det med meg??!!! I gaar ble jeg plaget halve dagen av en sumobryterliknende filippiner, paa stoerrelse med en halv hvalross, og med en personlighet paa stadiet med "Bananer-i-pysjamas." I dag var det den 66 aar gamle, roed-rosa-fargede tyskeren (som uheldigvis viser seg aa vaere naboen min), med halvlangt, hvitt, kroellete haar som faar han til aa minne meg om en pensjonert Kaptein Sabeltann. Han er det rareste vesenet jeg har moett saa langt, med de merkeligste tanker og levemaater. Han har brettet ut i det vide og det brede om livet sitt: pensjonert som 34 aaring og lever paa en diett som bestaar av 100% frukt... Og, ja, det er bokstavelig talt. Han spiser KUN frukt. Han er saa hjernevasket av denne dietten (Som han har levd paa ... read more

Waiting for Summer to Happen

White Beach, Puerto Galera

Summer is about to arrive. For Filipinos, its a time when decisions have to be made whether to hie up to the cool mountains or bask in the sweltering heat in one of the many beaches of the Philippines. I usually have a hard time deciding where to go since I love the cool mountain breeze and waking up to see for everywhere, and I'm also a trying-hard beach bum hehe. Last year, I was able to travel to a couple of places, some familiar and some new to me. I've been visiting White Beach Puerto Galera every year for the last 3 years, and this year will be no exception. I missed going to Baguio last year, though. I made a promise to go up to Baguio at least once a year, because I really ... read more

Valentines is Valerie's day. Valentines day or Val’s day for short. My wife, Valerie Navarrete and I celebrated it at White Beach, Puerto Galera. This coincided with IBM Daksh, my new company’s outing the next day. I took a leave a day earlier than the team building activity to celebrate with my wife. We arrived at White Beach at around 2:30PM after a 2hour bus ride from Manila to the Batangas Pier and an hour ferry ride to Puerto Galera. We stayed at Mendelluke’s Suite - this has become my favorite due to its reasonable room rate and excellent location. A beachfront room, near Coco Aroma on the left side of the beach (facing the sea). The nicer beachfront resorts and more upscale restaurants are here. We had a casual dinner beside the beach, it was ... read more

Extra challenge survival budget getaway! Puerto Galera is your alternative to Boracay fun. It's cheaper & very ideal for groups. A 2-3 hour bus ride from Manila through the South Luzon Expressway & 1-1/2 hr ferry boat from the Batangas pier. In this trip, I went with Val's Medicine friends Block C, my brother, Robby & his bestfriend Chichong. We left Filinvest 1 Quezon City, our home at 4:30 AM. Papa drove us to the Tritran Bus Station, Kamias at 5AM. We arrived at the Batangas Pier at around 7:30AM in time for the 7:45 AM ferry boat. There are various ferries that could take you to Puerto Galera, but take note that the best would be the one that goes straight to White beach. Other ferries would be going to other ports like, Sabang, Muelle, ... read more
