Where else is a better place to celebrate my birthday than the beach? We chose Puerto Galera because, first, I haven't been there and second, it's just couple of hours away from our place, no need to book for a flight.

How we got there:
1. Board a bus to Batangas Pier. There are several buses going there like JAM or Dela Rosa bus. We went to the Bus Terminal in Alabang, Muntinlupa City since we're from the south but there Bus Terminal in EDSA as well. Travel time from Alabang to Batangas Pier is almost 2 hours.
2. Ride a boat to White Beach. We chose Minolo Shipping Lines because their boats are bigger, bigger boat means smoother ride. Travel time is about 1 hour.
After a one-hour boat ride, a free shuttle ride provided by Minolo Shipping Lines brought us to White Beach. Fortunately, the arriving area was infront of the hotel that we stayed in. We chose VM Beach Resort,click>>to check out our review for this hotel.

After arranging our things and a little rest, we decided to take our lunch because we're so hungry after a long trip. We took our lunch in a restaurant named Food Trip sa Galera. What's good in this resto? Unlimited garlic rice! Their food was great too and costs from P99-P149 per meal.

After lunch, we decided to take a look on the beach and wait for the sunset. We went to the most western part of the island (facing the beach) and saw some pretty good rocks that can be awesome background on pictures. Although we failed to see the sunset due to cloudy skies, we still had a lot of fun. Took some more pictures, swim a little, and then we decided to rest after a long day. We got really tired so we just had a take-out and have dinner in our room.
If you're living in Metro Manila or nearby places, try celebrating your birthday at this simple paradise, bring family and friends if you have more resources.
