BANTAYAN ISLAND:Every visit is a different story!

in #travel7 years ago

It's been a while since my last post, how could I possibly miss a chance to flaunt what this place has to offer.

My first visit was when we did our 'movie shoot', way back in college. As a Mass Communication student, we were task to create a movie as part of our practice and it was 10 years ago, imagine.. 😂😂. I haven't enjoyed the beach though, during my first visit since we were busy shooting. So I promised to be back soon and it happened, together with my board mates. I thought it would satisfy my stay, but my classmate called me and told me that our professor will meet us to discuss about our thesis the next day, so i catch the last trip back to the city with a heavy heart, i told myself, "one day, i'll be able to experience the beauty of this place".

After, 5 years of waiting, I'm back at last. We've held our company team building as 'Chameleon Geeks', year 2015. Like a child, I felt the pleasure as if a mom giving candies to her little ones. Mother nature never fail to 'satisfy my cravings', after all these years.

Recently this year, my husband surprised me and told me that we are going to visit the place again. I was so excited as if it was my first time. The most thrilling part was when we explore the other side of the place (which i guess i'll be sharing on my next post. That, if i have this kind of adrenaline to write 😂😂). Moreover, the highlight of our stay was to realize that in every maried life, to make the relationship more stronger than ever is to be in solitude. Couples should find quality time together.

Two months after our visit, the team decided to have our team building in Bantayan for the second time around (no doubt why we love this place 😉), but this time as 'Stonehenge Warriors'. Over the years, lot of things has changed from our team name to the people we get a long with. I'll never forget my teammate's convo, it some kind of a joke but if you'll dig deeper, it make a lot of sense:

T1: e check inyong things, wala ray nabilin?

T2: wala ra, memories ra ang mabilin.

and we laugh..☺️☺️☺️

They say, memories will fade, but for me, it will always be pinned at the bottom of my hypothalamus. 😁😁.
