A sweet escape to Fortune Island in Batangas
March 14, 2018 Batangas, Philippines
My cousin and I planned for a beach vacation last 2016. Upon searching for beach that are not yet fully discovered by many, we found "Fortune Island" that was located in Batangas City.
I searched for some information (more on photos on what it looked like) about the island.
Fortune Island was known for it's Parthenon inspired view on it. So it really excites me after knowing that it's like that.
I searched for a travel agency, for us to give more easier in accessing the island and also to have a prepared food when we go there. Luckily, I found one and immediately booked for it dated March 5-6. As far as I remembered it only cost less than 2,000php with food included on the trip.
We leave our house at 2AM on that day that we have scheduled to go to Batangas.
And after the long hour drive, we arrived safely on the island.
The sun was scorching hot that morning (it's only 10AM that day). The water that the island have was as clear as the blue sky above. There's one thing that really bothered me by the time we came to the island, I noticed that the sand on it was not like the sand of some islands that I went. The sand there, yeah it's white but it's like an artificial one (I really don't know, but it's different).
And the island itself doesn't have electricity and also running water that can use after you soak yourself in salt water. Most of the tourists that come to the island just stayed for only 2 days and 1 night, for the reason of not having clean/running water and also comfort room there. For my opinion, the island was only good for doing pictorials/photo shoots, not for relaxing yourself through your stressful days.
On the other side, we make good friends with the other who also joined the travel in Fortune Island. That was one of the unforgettable part on our travel.
And also thank you to GoPH Travel and Tours for the memorable trip and tasty foods to Fortune Island.
Thank you for dropping by! See you on my next travel post!

Random Thoughts #1
March 08, 2018
It started the way it should be.
Someone you have trust into, the one who can always got their back for you in times of trouble and also the one who will understand you the most.
Things in life don’t always go as to what we’ve dreaming of. There’s always and will always be people who will act friend to you at first and soon become your worst enemy but not all of them. Years past, days past and times past, they changed. Why? This one word question is too hard to answer, not because you don’t want to talk about it anymore but because you really don’t know the reason behind, “why they change?”.
Once the friendship took part ways, do you think it will come back the way it was before?
I think it will, if that one person who changed took responsibility on how it will be solved, I personally think it will. Because all problems comes with solution and we’re just the one who will find a way on how to conquer it.
Friendship:
- Eat together, more likely eat your food
- Have fun during your free time
- Talk about your own life
- Listening to each other’s problem and opinion
- Giving a piece of advice when needed
- Doing dumb things together
- Laughing at each other’s embarassing moment
Life will not even be complete without a friend. Treasure it the most like they were a family to you. Don’t do things that you will regret sooner or later, everytime you and your friend have misunderstandings. Those are the things come in our life to test our faith and trust with our relationship to them.
There’s this saying:
Our phones fall, we panic. Our friends fall, we laugh.
Definitely, that’s true! It happens all the time!
Friends for keeps, hi there! I’m so thankful that I found you, please stay as you are! ❤️
