"This spot is better than the others. Is this the last one?" baling ni Kuya Calli sa kasama naming bangkero. Local siya rito sa isla and he used to be a fisherman but Lolo hired him bilang trabahador sa Casa. It is the fourth stop that we had in the middle of the sea. Kuya Calli's first plan is to find a perfect spot for scuba diving na pupuntahan ng mga clients and I guess this is the spot that he chose.


Silang dalawa lang ni Kuya Astro ang sumisisid kasama ang local na si Kuya Ruben dahil alam niya kung saan ang may mga magagandang spots dito dahil dito ang buhay niya.


All those times na nakasisid sila ay wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ang gamitin ang cellphone ko and mabuti nalang at may signal parin dito. The whole time ay kausap ko si Dos. He would send me pictures and videos kasama ang mga players na nagbabardagulan.


This time ay nandoon sila sa bahay nila Dos naka-tambay. The boys are dancing crazy while he is singin to Bruno Mars' Versace on the Floor. I want to laugh sa kalokohan ng mga players but I can't let out other expression other than amazement.


It's my first time hearing his singing voice, alam kong simula palang ay wala siyang deep voice but hearing him now belting those notes left me in awe. Tatlong beses ko pa itong pinakinggan bago ako muling nag-reply. Mabuti nalang ay nasa tubig pa ang mga kasama ko.


I replied to him but I can't afford to compliment his singing because I know na aasarin niya lang ako. So in return, I sent him the picture of the sea, again.


After diving sa karatig isla kami pumunta. It was just a half-hectare island and a fifteen minutes boat ride from the Casa. Puro lang ito puno but it's a good place to relax and the view is also great for taking pictures. In the middle of the island is also a restaurant but smaller, branch din ito ni Mama.


Under the trees are wooden chairs and tables for dining and on the right side of the islands is the rock formation na maakyat mo lang kapag sa isla ka dumaan dahil sa mga bato-batong nagsisilbing tulay papunta sa rock formation. It was high at hindi malapitan ng Bangka dahil sa ragasa ng alon.


Climbing the rock formation, sumama na ako. Madulas ang bato, it should be better to remove your slippers while claimbing kaso nakakasugat din so you really need to be careful in climbing.



"Should we put something na aakyatan? It may cause some accident" I suggested nang makarating kami sa tuktok. I know I prefer staring at the scenery but this time I took a picture at uploaded it right away to my story.


Going down was harder pero mabuti nalang at inaalayan ako nila Kuya. We stayed longer in the island at doon na din kami kumain ng lunch. Hindi pa nag-ooperate ang restaurant but there are staffs inside na nag-aayos na. Mabuti nalang at nagbaon kami ng lunch.


"Seafoods again?" I reacted when I saw the foods. Tinawanan ako ni Kuya Calli.


"Mom, prepared a bento for you. Kaya wag ka nang magreklamo" Kuya Calli said at saka inilabas ang isang bento box. I grabbed it, excited to open.


"Such a baby" rinig kong komento ni Kuya Astro nang masaya kong tinignan ang Korean style Fried Chicken, gimbap, and  rice.


"So what? I'm a baby" pag-irap ko sa kanya


"Babies don't dress like that. You should be in your diaper"


"Whatever. Looser!"


We started eating when I remembered to take a picture of my food.


He sent me a picture of their lunch. Boodle fight sila today so I sent him what I am having for lunch.
