10 bloggers, 100 Islands

this is still part of the
WESTERN PANGASINAN SERIES
on location: Alaminos City
____________________________________

All photos were taken on the 1st day of the trip. I have tons of them so I would like to share some before jumping to my 2nd day post for Bolinao.

Marky, Gael, pusangkalye, Robbie, Ada, Darwin, Mica, Josh and sir Rey

The title says it all, well, almost. There were actually only 8 of us. During the island hoping tour with Mr Rey Livara of the Local Tourism board of Alaminos, Cai was still on her way and Estan was busy shooting some neo-colonial churches in central Pangasinan for his simbahan.net project. But it was a fun ride nonetheless.

As I said, I never thought I would appreciate Hundred islands this much. I have the habit of getting bored when I already experienced something. But this is the Hundred Islands National Park.There more islands waiting for me to see. So when you get here, hire a boat and go where people don't dare to go. You'll be surprised.

 one with the boys!!! Robbie, where are you? D: 

I was starstruck to finally meet Ada. She's one of the bloggers I have been secretly longing to meet. Now that it's out, its not much of a secret anymore ayt? hahaha. She's one of the few bloggers I know who you will not get disappointed to when you meet in person. The light, bubbly and positive aura you can see in her blog really comes alive in real life. I am not saying anything, but we have to admit, we get surprised when we meet bloggers in perso coz the picture that we have in our mind is completely different from the person we see in front of us. Alter ego? hahaha

The Classic jump shot by the Beach. Ada vs. Mica. lol. Mica wins the highest jump and Ada wins the best in pose variations.Love you both girls!! Josh Uy wins the best jump shot photographer. Napapagod yung mga tumatalon pag ako ang kumukuha---fail!!!

The one's below are  the only few I managed to successfully capture.

Finally got to catch thepinaysolobackpacker in one of her signature way of taking pictures. Super kulet nitong si Gael. So with her and me around? expect endless harutan--nabubulabog lahat!!!lol

We stayed here for around 30 minutes, mainly for taking pictures. Despite then noontime heat, I didn't notice the time. I was mesmerized by the island. The fact that not so many people go here made me love it more. I always see thr resemblance of Honda Bay to the Hundered Islands and for me this is the equivalent of starfish island. Shell island, starfish island, they might be only names, but for me they are simply paradise on earth.

The next time I come back, I will make sure I will visit another Island I have never set foot before.
