Ok, second weekend stop is the most beautiful beach I have been to so far. I know, I know. I am not a frolicking-in-the-sand type of person, but Calaguas stole my heart at first sight. White stretch of very fine sand plus crystal clear water was...well, perfect. Some say Calaguas can kick Boracay's behind over and over again. They are already starting to "urbanize/commercialize" the place because there's electricity (and a mobile bar) in the middle of the island. With my new-found admiration for virgin beaches, I am hoping that they choose to preserve rather than profit.
We (myself, Kirk and Bimb) decided to join the party of 16 (yes, final headcount was 19) the day before the trip. For those of you who didn't know, Calaguas is an island (somewhere in the Pacific Ocean) and a boat (hopefully not a fishing boat, or else you will pray for your life like we did) will take you there from Camarines Norte. Our package cost Php 3,500 which covered transportation, shelter (I couldn't say accommodations because we slept in tents again) and food. Since I am already a self-proclaimed survivalist (thanks to my Nagsasa training), I only needed to brace myself for the looong trip (5-6 hours by rented van, then 2-3 hours by boat).
Anyway, as I am very responsible, these (five) photos are again grabbed from Bimby. (Thanks, Bimb!)

My favorite part of the trip was watching Emong, Kirk and Bimb amuse themselves with the planktons scattered all over the sand. They moonwalked and danced and drew pretty patterns with their feet.
Oh, you have noticed? First week, we were up north in Zambales and now in Bicol? Yup, we were bitten by the travel bug badly.
