This is supposedly the most anticipated birthday celebrations of hubby and I being that it is our first time to travel together outside the country AND on our birthday. I was truly hoping it would be memorable... .... and yes, it was certainly memorable! My birthday is February 10 and hubby's February 12. Our flights were booked during Cebu Pacific's Piso fare, if I remember correctly, July the previous year when everyone was just having a normal and peaceful life.  No coronavirus outbreak yet... DAYS LEADING TO OUR DEPARTURE I was really busy at work that I wasn't paying much attention to what's going on with the world...

41/81 Puerto Galera Just spent my 41st province on a weekend in Puerto Galera!!!  Finally, this place is like that song "so near, yet so far".. You know what I mean?! 😋😂  I have known Puerto Galera as a favorite place of our gay friends and frequently visited by Koreans. So when I first started travelling, I thought well.. Let us just leave this place to them...  But since I completing my #81ProvincesPH, I am compelled to visit. 😜 Puerto Galera is in Mindoro Oriental.  Then after being here I realized, yeah, this place is worth visiting!

The most fun is passing through boulders rock along the way! 1️⃣ST DAY: Arrived in Batangas port around 11:30 AM. Parked our car inside the port and then went to buy tickets.  💵 Ferry expenses:  M

My 40th of the 81 PH Provinces  🇵🇭 My supposed first solo 💃  travel at tempt turned out to be double  👯‍♀️  (ehem  Arfem ). Glad to have a companion in the end. If it was just me, imagine me low key panicking after finding out that my Cebupac terminal was in 4 while looking stupid in line outside the terminal 3 departure gate 30 min before the boarding time (Basa basa din kase ng itinerary/boarding pass..tsk tsk tsk). Then trying to get a taxi but driver wanted to milk money. Then p lane returning back to Manila bec it couldnt land in Masbate due to thunderstorm.. And then being stuck in the airport for 5 hours, waiting for another flight! How fun would that be if it was just me! Haha!  🤪
