Magalawa Island

My friends and I had a trip to Magalawa Island, Zambales. It was my first time here in this island. I'm not the adventurer type of person I might say because before they convinced me to go with them there my first question was, "Is there a CR and water there?" and they said yes so I also said "go" but believe me a week before the trip, I was really really anxious about things hehehe...

 The trip I should say was like an "amazing race" hahaha...because at 2 pm, about 5 hours before the trip plans were changed and thanks to Jacq..The initial plan was that we'll be meeting at Ayala MRT at 8 pm and we'll be coming from there to Cubao Victory Liner terminal. Hours before that, she said that we'll just be riding a bus from Caloocan Victory Liner Sta Cruz Zambales route....and jacq made pasaway pa...so at 8:30 we decided to board MRT going to LRT station...only to know that the last trip was at 9 pm because it was a weekend whereas jacq told us that the last trip was 10 pm....so we ran only to catch the last trip for LRT but then we failed hahahah...imagine us running with our heavy back packs....amazing race mode indeed....

Then we decided to take a cab going to Caloocan...where we met a very sarcastic and "galit sa mundong" cab driver....hahaha...

Then another series of unfortunate events happened....the cab driver gave us 2 options Quiapo or R10 road, and we chose the R10 road without knowing what that road was ahahaha...the driver took the road going to Caloocan by passing by to R10 road....(If I'm right ha)...R10 road is known for series of holdups and crime rate is high etc etc...there, you'll pass by smokey mountain, Tondo, navotas etc etc..so all throughout the trip, I felt like my heart stopped beating...Promise...and sorry I did not take pictures for I still love my life...PROMISE...

Finally, we arrived at the terminal ALIVE! Thank God for the 2nd life talaga...finally we were able to breathe again...

We left Caloocan Terminal at 12 am and we arrived at Zambales at 4 am. It was still dark when we arrived at the island.....

Here are some of the pictures I took from the island using my GE X500

Tried ISO shot

A day after, here's what I got....

I got stung by an insect called gnat or "niknik"...Believe me it's really really itchy...don't forget to bring your citronella spray or insect repellent...

It's still itchy as of this date...now it's turning dark red in color..still very itchy at times so I apply lotion every time I feel the itch...
