This blog entry is about our last day at Bellarocca Island Resort & SPA.
Our initial plan for the day is to swim at the seaside swimming pool (infinity pool). Unfortunately it is under maintenance when we got there. We have to wait daw for 1.5 hours to be able to swim. Eh sayang ang oras since we need to check out at 12:00nn kaya we went to the Aqua Sports Center instead.
We went swimming at the beach. In fairness ha, hindi na nandidiri ang mga kulilits sa sand (pebbles). Dati kasi ayaw umapak sa sand eh. They enjoyed the sea water. Walang takot talaga! Basta tubig ata, go go go lang yung dalawa eh.
What I like about the sea water is that it is not that salty as compared to other beach. Very clean din ang tubig as in makikita niyo yung ilalim. Ang drawback lang is instead of sand, pebbles yung shore dito. Pero carry lang naman. =)
We went kayaking also. Saglit nga lang. Scared kasi si hubby eh. Hahaha! Inggit nga ako sa parents and brother ko kasi they went kayaking around Bellarocca Island.
Kwento ko ang happenings nung nagkakayak kami (papatayin ako ni hubby. Hahaha!).
Actually, while we were kayaking, nagtatalo kami ni hubby. Panay sabi niya sa akin ng mga sumusunod:
....magbalance ka nga. Imagine you are riding a bicycle!
...turn! turn! turn!
...wag kang lalayo!
Ang sagot ko naman is:
...why do I need to balance? Relax lang naman ako eh. Ikaw ang galaw ng galaw diyan eh! You don't need to do anything, just be still!
...Yes, I'm turning na! Hindi ka ba marunong magsagwan? If you want to go to the left, sa right ka magsasagwan. If you want to go to the right, sa left ka naman magsasagwan. Kung drastic ang pagturn na gusto mo, kailangan magsagwan deeper!
...Be, ano ka ba? ang babaw lang nito and may kasama tayong guide. Beside, may life vest tayo!
Kaya bandang huli, kababalance ni doc, tumaob ang kayak na sinasakyan namin! Sa sobrang kaba niya, napasigaw siya sa akin kaya ang mga kulilits nagulat at umiyak tuloy.
Doc Padu: Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko eh! Hindi na! Hindi na tayo magkakayak! Magswimming na lang tayo!
Me: Ako na lang ang magkakayak. Sasama ako kila daddy umikot.
Doc Padu: Hindi! Dito ka lang!
Bilang "submissive" wife (charot!), sumunod na lang ako sa KJ (kill joy) kong asawa. Hehehe. Nagswim swim na lang kami.
Mga after ilang minutes, sa aking pagrereminisce ng mga pangyayari, bigla na lang akong natawa. Natatawa kasi ako sa reaction ni hubby eh yung tipong panic to the max. Eh, napansin niya ako.
Doc Padu: Anong tinatawa tawa mo diyan?
Me: Wala, naalala ko lang yung kanina. Takot na takot ka eh. Nagulat tuloy yung kambal. As if naman malulunod ka eh ang babaw babaw and may life vest tayong suot.
Doc Padu: Ano ka ba, buti na lang at sa mababaw lang tayo tumaob tapos gusto mo pang umikot sa buong island. Buti kung tayo lang, eh kasama natin mga bata.
Me: Hu... Dadahilanin mo pa yung kambal. Aminin mo na na takot ka. Kasi balance ka ng balance na hindi naman kailangan. Lalo tuloy umuuga yung kayak kaya tumaob. Tapos, napansin ko hindi ka sumasagwan. Ako ang pinagsasagwan mo. Wala kang ginawa kundi magbalance.
Doc Padu: Oo na! Oo na! Eh sa hindi ako marunong magkayak eh!
Me: Hahaha! Ayun naman pala eh! Eh di inamin mo rin! May nalalaman ka pang 'you should balance like riding a bicycle' jan!
Doc Padu: Hmf! Wala kang ibang alam apihin kundi ako! Huwag mong ibloblog yan ha!!!
Me (with evil grin): Bahala ka! Bwahahaha!
After ng tawanan namin, nagsnorkeling na lang ako. Eh may part na biglang lalim, umandar na naman ang pagkanaughty ko.
Me: Be, alika dali, tignan mo ang ganda!
Doc Padu: wore his snorkeling gear and went under water sabay tayo kaagad in less than 2 seconds.
Me: Hahaha!
Doc Padu: Inaapi mo talaga ako!
Anyway, when my parents arrived. We all, except for hubby, went snorkeling to the deep waters. Ang saya! Ang daming fishes. Iba't ibang kulay and sizes. Pati si kambal naki-snorkeling sa amin.
Pagbalik namin, pinilit ng mom ko si hubby na magsnorkeling. Sayang naman daw kung hindi niya makita yung mga isda. Sabi ni mommy, hawak na lang siya sa lifebouy ng guide. Buti naman at napapayag at inovercome niya yung fear niya.
After magsnorkeling ni hubby, we all went back to our rooms to prepare for our check-out.
That's it! That's our last day at Bellarocca. Very fun and memorable. Hehe. =)

Adventures in Marinduque: Bellarocca Island Part 2
Here is the Part 2 of our stay in Bellarocca Island...
WARNING: Picture Overload!!!
We were greeted by the majestic view of Mt. Malindig when we woke up the following day.
I asked hubby to eat breakfast while the kulilits are still sleeping. So, we went to Bellarocca's restaurant.
While waiting for our food, hubby went around the restaurant and took some pictures. Here are some of the pictures that he took...
Our breakfast are finally served...
Few minutes later, my parents, brother and kulilits arrived. While they were waiting for their food, they entertained themselves by:
pretending to be monkeys...
feeding fishes...
watching the view...
After breakfast, Papa G, Mama G and the kulilits took a dip to the lap pool while hubby, my brother and I just rested in the room.
After swimming, the kulilits watched Spiderman (again) with Mama G in the room.
Lunch time came and we all headed back to the restaurant. While waiting for the food to be served, hubby and the kulilits went to the lobby to feed the fishes.
When my boys back to the restaurant, picture picture muna kami...
After lunch, we all went back to our rooms and had our afternoon nap. Eto ang tunay bakasyon! Yung tipong relax relax and pahinga lang. =)
In the afteroon, we (except for my brother) had a tour of Bellarocca Island. It only took us around 30 minutes to tour the whole island.
Here is our ride - golf cart...
We were given a chance to go inside Valhalla, one of Bellarocca's Villas.
The entrance to the villa...
The bedroom...
The bathroom...
The sala equipped with Audio-Video System...
The kitchen...
At the back of the villa, it has its own infinity pool and jacuzzi. Bongga di ba? Bongga din ang rate per night! Kaya kami, hanggang picture taking na lang...
Then we went to the helipad and took some pictures...
We went also to the tea house. They said that you can arrange a romantic dinner here.
There are a lot of fire trees there which are very attractive.
Our last stop is at the seaside swimming pool.
After our mini tour, we had a glimpse of the breathtaking sunset at Bellarocca. Here are some of the pictures that hubby took...
Ang nice ano? Super sarap pagmasdan ng nature. Napaka-amazing lang talaga ng creation ni Papa God. =)
After watching the sunset, pahinga ulit kami sa room, then dinner then sleeping time na. Di naman nakakataba ano? Hehehe.
That summed up our day 2 at Bellarocca Island. =)
