SKYATHON 2014 @ Boracay!

I'd say the best kind of work is the one that brings you to beaches!  It's work and play...it's where you're stressed and can distress at the end of the day!

I was blessed to be a part of SkyAthon 2014's production team and this trip really made me love my work more!  We flew in April 23 and the crunch started the minute we checked in at Boracay Paradise Hotel.  Futuretainment Inc. hired me for that event and i'm glad things worked out as planned.  The SkyCable Team definitely flew back to Manila with high spirits!

Nothing beats a weekend full of highs!  We held three events for all of the participants and sponsors that weekend namely: 

• Sky Sounds of Sundown 
• SkyAthon 2014 - Beach Run for a Cause
• Sky High Five - Victory Party

Experience the fun we had!  Here are a few photos with links to view more:

For the play part of this Boracay trip, we did snorkeling and {gasp!} cliff diving!  Never thought I'd do it...but what the heck!  I was already there, the sea was calling my name so...I JUMPED! 

Hanging on for dear life....

BATANES ADVENTURE (Sabtang Island Tour)

October 7, 2013 - Day 4 in my Batanes bliss!

Your Batanes trip wouldn't be complete if you don’t visit Sabtang Island, so even if they told me that the waves going there will make you seasick, I braved myself for the challenge!

I was already up by 4AM because the jeepney going to Radiwan Ivana Port passes by in front of Troy Lodge by 5AM.  I was about to take my first sip of coffee when the jeepney arrived.  A bit frustrated there but to my surprise Tita Erlinda (Troy Lodge owner) urged me to bring the coffee mug with me!  Hahah!  So I ended up finishing my coffee and pandesal inside the dark jeepney!

While waiting for the boat, mang Luciano and his stories entertained us.

The falowa boat has arrived!

Yep! The motorbikes had to go in first!

Group selfie with my new friends...Coach "Piolo" Pascual and Neo Pascual!
We had the same flight going to Batanes and was scheduled to leave on the same day!?!
Hmmm...and I thought I was the only tourist that week.

I stood up at the end of the boat to avoid sea sickness.  The current was crazy 4 feet high and it felt like I was surfing!  Don’t close your eyes though coz it’ll make you dizzy! (Sorry...couldn't take photos while I was on the boat.)

First stop is this office to register and settle a minimal tourist fee.

Beautiful just like a painting!

My heart was jumping for joy when I saw all the trees! ^_^

This view reminds me of the movie..."The Land Before Time!"

Looks like two giant turtles....right!?!

We walked downhill to see this view.

Closer view of the crystal waters. If I had more time...I would have stayed here for hours!

Friendly tip: It's best if you stay overnight at Sabtang Island so you can enjoy all the scenic views.
I was rushing from point to point because the boat going back to Basco was scheduled to leave by 1PM.

And the hardest part was going uphill to the main road...ugh!  Exercise!!!

The Sabtang Island Lighthouse

I wanted to capture the white horse on top of a hill...but my lens could only zoom up to this.

lobsters!!!

Crystal clear waters of the Sabtang Island Port!

7107 Islands. One Islander!
