hayop sa trip!

We (my brother Garry, Emer and I) have been planning to go out of town for months now and our plan push through last May 12. where exactly did we go? for the whole week we are very sure we will go to Puerto Galera. but last friday our plan got mixed up due to bagyong Amang. We left Manila around 6am not really knowing where to go. are we gonna push through with Galera or just look for another place to go? we're afraid that if we go to Galera we might get stranded. We had breakfast at Shell Gas Station at South Expressway and from there we decided to just go to San Juan Batangas. It will be our first time to visit the place, so we really don't have any idea what's in store for us. We arrive San Juan around 10am. Dang! the place is already crowded. We started to look for a private resort, Kabayan, Sabangan, Virgin, Taramindu, Palm Beach, Laiya Coco Grove and Balai Laiya but it was already fully booked, our trip starts to feel like hell, imagine checking out one resort at a time under the heat of the sun? i felt so terrible, i wanted to cry and i felt helpless. We also check out some public beach but sadly we dont like the rooms, either it looks a lot like nevermind or the place just full of people who don't have anything to do but sing their hearts out, over crowded and really really noisy. 1130 we already felt that it's time to leave. off to where? we really dont know all we knew was we should already find another beach to stay. Oh btw, let me give applause to laiya coco grove's attendant even though they are fully booked they assist us and allow us to look at their place. On our search for a resort to stay we check out Dona Nena, it is not located at laiya aplaya anymore, it's on aplya ibabao, there's a Mangrove which makes the beach murky. It was already fully booked at that time and the owners are nice and friendly. So, We had lunch at Jollibee Rosario, not knowing where to go we ask a waiter where is the nearest beach area. according to him aside from San Juan, the nearest was Lemery. so off to our next stop, starting to feel hopeless, my brother suggest to just stay at a resort, but because i set an eye of spending my weekend at the beach we pursue the Lemery travel. on an intersection, not knowing where to go (no sign!!!!!) we ask a local guy, when i ask where can he suggest to go, he said we might wanna try Anilao, since according to him the Lemery beach is already dirty and not really impressive) we are 10mins aways from Lemery then and an hour away from Anilao. my brother who visited Anilao 10 years ago said that we might as well check out Anilao. And so our tavel goes on. we reach Anilao pier at around 5pm, oh gosh! we're all wasted and tired. we started to look for resort where we can finally settle in. We visited Aguila resort because it was the closest, they got a beach area where we can swim but the sands are really mabato. the rooms are ok but we are looking for a room where we can really rest and have comfy beds, so we decide to look for another resort. we went to Vista Mar, but the place is too crowded, there are people singing with ktv here and there. we check out the room but i think the price is not worth the stay. So off we go again. We finally found a good place to stay at Outrigger Resort, took our bags and go to our room for a quick rest before dinner. it was already 630 that time.
All i wanted was to enjoy and relax but i think our Saturday trip turns disaster so we can appreciate our new found haven. So what can you say? hayop sa trip diba?
