Looking for a place to relax in Trinoma? Go to KitcheNails for a rejuvenating and relaxing session of foot spa and hand spa. :)

This time, it was foot spa for me.

For reservations, you may reach them at 625-2804/ 09431296504

There's also an ongoing promo from March 1 to August 31, 2016.

Going there has been one of my non-negotiables. Hehe. I'm always looking forward to visit them during my free time.

In line with the theme, it's a non-stick pan with place mat for your foot soak. Hehe.

What I had was Fruity Tutty Mania.

One of the most hygienic place you can find. Pushers, nail cutters and other tools are all sterilized.

Haaaaaaaaaaaay, <3 Go na. ;)

As the name suggests, the cave in this island looks like a cathedral and they've also placed an image of Mama Mary there.

I didn't like the beach and the water in this island but bearable. There's a zipline that is shorter than the one found in Governor's Island and there's also a kayak available upon rental.

The children's island is probably named that way because of its shallow water. Haha. This is only knee deep, was just pretending it wasn't.

So this is the end of our Hundred Islands Day Tour..

We've visited:

Tourists' Center with Rates
Governor's Island (Viewing Deck & Zipline)
Marcos Island (Cave Cliff Diving)
Macapagal Island (Snorkeling, Banana Boat Ride, Reef Walking, Giant Clams)
Quezon Island
Cathedral Island
Children's Island

We went to another island which has a cave but we didn't go down to look around.

Overall, visiting Hundred Islands National Park was definitely worth it. Can't believe it took me this long. :)))

That's me wearing the most uncomfortable life vest of all.

Our guide immediately pointed to us these giant clams locally known as taclobo. There are a lot of these clams there because it is a sanctuary.

They look different though compared to the ones we saw in Danjugan Island, Negros Occidental. The clearer water of Danjugan is also noticeable link: here.

Those encourage the growth of corals.

A lot of fishes are in the area.

For me, Hundred Islands' snorkeling site is a lot better than the one in Bacuit Bay, El Nido, Palawan link: here.

More giant clams.

I was hating the "murky" water 'cause I wasn't seeing the corals well, turned out that my goggles were the problem.

I kept on following these school of fishes.

That I forgot that I didn't put any sunblock at my back.

Hence, my back got sunburned. Haha! I got shocked when I first saw how dark the skin at my back became after snorkeling for around 30 minutes. -_-

Macapagal Island sign.

Looks like a turtle... or a snake... or a snurtle.

Marcos Island is by far the best of all the islands we went to at the National Park.

Look at the sand.

There's also a shaded area underneath those limestone rocks should you not want to get tanned skin but I don't think that's possible in Hundred Islands though. Ang itim ko lalo sobra after. Haha.

We went up thinking that the cave swimming was only like the one in Wonderful Cave, Bolinao link: here.

Upon seeing this, I think I've found another activity I liked.

More cliff jumping and/or canyoneering activities for me, yes universe?

It's not your ordinary cave swimming since it is a cave cliff diving area.

Not sure about how high and how deep this is but it wasn't that scary... or was it? No life jacket, no jumping is the policy so I think it's relatively safer.

Once you jump, the only way out was to swim back to the shore.

Ngiting tagumpay. HAHA

The only time I shouted was when Kuya threw my camera in the water - that was my mini heart attack.

Good thing binuhol niya sa tsinelas ko so it floated.

Clear water but the waves were kinda strong in this part. Had a difficult time swimming back to the shore because of the waves.

When an object is submerged in water, it will displace an amount of water equal to its volume. 15-20 feet jump 6-9 meters deep Dahil laging in betweens at walang sigurado. Haha. Mas napasigaw pa ko nung inihagis ni Kuya sa tubig 'yung camera ko😂 #ediwow #cliff #diving #cave #nature #travelph #lostinph #pangasinan #beach

Meron naman hesitation before the jump...

"Gano kalalim?"

"Okay lang ba kahit anong klaseng talon?"

"WAAAAAAAH UNG CAMERA KOOOOOOOOOOO" HAHAHAHA

Hay buhay... sana ganyan lang lagi ako, hindi nagpapadala sa takot. HAHA!

Although not as high and water not as clear/blue, these limestones and boat ride somehow reminded me of El Nido, Palawan.

First stop for the island hopping is Governor's Island for it is where the viewing deck is located.

Kayaking, swimming and zipline can also be done here.

The trek wasn't steep but the intense sunlight and heat made it a little difficult.

View from the viewing deck.

Ang ganda.

Then we transferred to the other side where the zipline is. I suggest you try it out. I didn't and kind of regretted it after seeing the view. Ang hirap naman din kasi sa baba galing mga harness and all, nakakapagod hahaha. So you have to make up your mind before going up.

Me with my favorite rainbow-colored sarong because makulay ang buhay always. HAHA!

Anniversary na namin nyan. (buti pa kami)

First used it in Kalanggaman Island, Leyte and I have it with me in all my out-of-town trips since then haha also in my out-of-the-country trip soon. <3
