Mikaela's Moon

Raymund and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary last June 4, Sunday. I swapped rest days with Nicole so that I'll have Sunday off for our "date".

I had no idea where the "date" would be, but he asked me to be home by 4am on Sunday morning. Plus, he said he bought aqua shoes for me, so I knew we were going to the beach. In my mind, I was thinking...Puerto Galera?

When I got home, he was already taking a bath. He told me we were going to Pangasinan...I was like, huh? What's in Pangasinan? Hundred Islands!!!

I packed in record time, and we got on the 5:30am Victory Liner bus to Alaminos. We arrived in Alaminos City at 11am. His agents were there: Ray and his wife, Bryan and his girlfriend, Wayne, JC and Anthony.

My sweet hubby bought me a vest and Speedo aqua shoes, and for the first time in my life, I went snorkeling. It was a big deal since I'm terrified of water. I felt like I was on Fear Factor! But it was worth it. I saw Nemo!!! I saw angelish, clownfish, starfish...wow! It was like I was watrching Animal Planet!

We went back to the mainland at around 5pm. All of us bathed, and we slept till midnight. We looked for a place to eat, and we were lucky that there was one sari-sari store that was still open. We had noodles and crackers, which was ok but it didn't satisfy my hunger much. We went back to the hotel and slept until 7am.

The rest of the gang didn't wanna go back to the islands, so only me, Wayne and Raymund went back to Marcos island for more snorkeling. The sky was heavenly blue, the water was sparkling blue green, and the sand soft and fine. We went snorkeling until noon, and I couldn't keep my smile off my face as I watched a school of fish swim past me. It was GREAT! It was the perfect anniversary.

Thank you so much baby! Being with you is pure bliss.
