Pearl Farm, Davao City

On second day of our Davao tour, we decided to go to Pearl Farm. Since overnight stay is way expensive, we chose to do a day tour instead. For Php1500/pax, everything is worthy.

We left our hotel and hailed a taxi towards Marina Bay at 6am. We were quite excited despite we knew that the boat will leave at 8am. Though we waited for hours, we walked and photographed what ever we see.

Rarely we find white gumamela

Coconuts at Marina

At 8am, when all other guests were there and ready, we boarded boat. It took us 45min to get to Samal Island. The place is really nice and beautiful. It will make you realize how lovely it is to live, hahaha. As soon as our feet landed the port, we were given pineapple juice and briefed us about the Island.

After then, we looked for our spot and started roaming around. We decided not to dive into the water yet, it will be hassle whenever we wanted to have our lunch. Wet clothes are not allowed in Mandaya Restaurant, that's why. The foods were sumptuous; as in both of us ate like we never eaten before, kidding.

Then, we took speedboat ride to Malipano Island. And as usual, looked for spots to take photos.

Then, after our Malipano tour, we went back to main island and enjoyed the water.

Starfishes!!!!

Dried our selves and boarded last trip back to Marina at 4pm. Sad to say our tour ended. Next time, we will make sure that we are going to stay atleast for a night.

Our Wedding at Los Balcones, Tali Beach

Since young, Tracy had been dreaming of a beach wedding. We exerted too much effort in finding perfect place where we are going to hold it. Inquiry here, ocular there; until, at last we found this place on line. We visited the place twice prior to our wedding, just to make sure if that's where we really wanted.

Los Balcones, a private resort in Tali Beach, Nasugbu, Batangas. A lovely and relaxing place, overlooking South China sea.

August 9, 2010, the day both of us been waiting for. We left home at 5am together with our families and friends. We arrived Los Balcones at around 9am. It's quite far from home but extremely worth waiting.

Catering service was already there and started setting up. Mr. Ike Gangoso, our contact person was even there to support us and made sure everything is in place. Everyone was busy preparing and we don't what's happening, up until 4pm. We stated the ceremony at the second floor and 6pm dinner/reception at the garden area.

We, together with our immediate family stayed for over night. Rooms are very comfortable and large enough to accommodate us all.

The morning after, unexpectedly, resort staffs prepared breakfast for us (longanisa, egg and rice). Right after eating, we jumped over the pool and enjoyed. We left the place before lunch. Surely we are going to miss this place.
