The last time I went to Galera, it was back in 2005. I took Makati-Batangas Pier in 1 1/2 hours in 8am traffic. I wasn’t armed with a camera and I lacked sleep since I worked the night shift for a call center back then, so, the trip wasn’t properly documented as it was last weekend.
The Mindoro Sling Experience
It has been said that a trip to Puerto Galera won’t be complete if you haven’t taken a shot of their infamous Mindoro Sling. A concoction filled with Tanduay Rhum, Soda and a fruit drink (four seasons or pomelo, I forget). It’s served in a pitcher and shot glasses, which I believe I drank 10 before saying goodnight as gracefully as I could and head back to the room and hit the sack. But, I did catch the drunken podcast hosted by the new media maven before I left. 
(Are we ever going to see that posted, sir?) Heehee.
On Blogging and Various Online Chismis
(Chismis means “juicy newsbits” for people who aren’t in the know on Filipino lingo)
The Sling assisted the blogging and personal chismis to commence. I caught most of the ones on the podcast and then some but I’m sure there were more of it that any of us will ever blog about. I’m sure I missed a lot more since they stayed up till around 2-ish in the morning.
A clue in on what was divulged — check all the Puerto Galera posts then decrypt. 
The Bikini Photoshoot
Much to the dismay of the male bloggers who didn’t go, the photos aren’t “bloggable” but some are viewable online if resourceful. May this serve as a reminder for all that if you see an invitation to go to the beach by the Band of Bloggers, then make it a point to clear your schedule so you can go. LOL.
Anyway, I requested Abe to take a decent photo of me in a bikini and it turned out into the bikini photoshoot that it was. I left my 400D in his care, it got a lil wet (EGAD!) but no major damage (thank god!) and I got some fabulous looking photos. Yay! Sharm and Aileen looked gorgeous as well. Heehee!
Photos by Yuga
As for the boyfriends, Marc and Rico can only scowl and throw pebbles (kidding! kidding!) at the two male posers and DOMs who made a beeline to where we were. LOL.
Moving on. Some photos can be found here, here and, er — nevermind.
Summer’s just starting so I’m looking forward to more beach time!
No related posts.
Hey! Marc and I would’ve charged like rabid dogs if those two posers or the old foreigner did something bad…
And the Mindoro Sling only made me sleepy, not drunk!
Well, tipsy I guess…
And yes, you should’ve stayed up for intrigues and counter-intrigues.
Nice pictures! Nice layout! Nice post!
And that’s not coming from any bias at all. 
Podcast? What podcast? Oh the one you guys did when I got lost!
Ya missed the Marc-Sharmskee love story kwento. It was soooo tweet grabeh. And sayang, you didn’t see Abe go speechless
Di bale, tara! Beach ulit!!!
Waahh!

Rico: Yea, I’m sure you guys would come to our rescue. (Aww. )
Ugh. The sling made me sleepy-er — twas bad for someone who’s tired. Heh. I wish I wasn’t so I could’ve stayed up. Sniff.
Thanks po. Twas inspired by you.
Aileen: I missed that?! Aw, shucks. Tara! Let’s head to the beach again!
Markku: Aw. Don’t say we tried to *force* you to go. Hehehe.
Jun: Thanks! We’ve got to hand it to Abe for taking good photos!
Sharm: Sure! Bohol? Tara! I’ve never been to Bohol.
