Jomalig Island

14 March 2009

I was on leave from the 11th-16th for the Hong Kong-Macau trip but because something happened with my passport, I wasn't able to go. Effin DFA peeps were asking for 7,000php so I can leave but I said no. Aren't our monthly taxes enough? Oh, and up yours!

Anyways, so Lance just flew us to... Jomalig!



In-Flight Food

The in-flight food reminded us of the bombs we used to play back in high school made of baking soda and vinegar. We didn't want to touch it at first 'coz it looked like it's going to explode any moment. Joel opened it, and guess what happened? Hahaha! I'll post the clip once Joel uploads it.



Piloting A Real Plane

I've never driven a car before and the only "piloting" that I've done were the ones at Lance's house back in college. So twas nice to pilot a plane. A real one. It gets kinda boring sometimes though 'coz you don't have to maneuver around streets and there aren't other cars to race with.

I know how to work the yoke and the rudder but my head spins when I see the numbers on the "dashboard" and I guess it'll really take time to learn about radials, and transponders, and altitudes, etc.

I love reading the checklist, and boy, pilots have sexy voices! Dang! Hahaha!

Oh, and stated here, Joel's now an official member of The Mile High Club. Welcome! Hahaha!

On second thought, I shouldn't even congratulate him 'coz I'm the only girl with them. Hmmm...



Jomalig

Put it this way, normal beaches have gray or black sand. Boracay, Amanpulo, Palawan, etc has white. But this place has gold sand baby!

According to Wikipedia, it only has a population of about 6,000 people so no wonder why everyone knows everyone. Motorcyles are the only means of transportation here, which explains the narrow streets, and it's normal to see ladies and little boys riding motorcycles too.



Me No Likey Cotton Candy Clouds Anymore

You can ask Lance, the two things that I uber like are turbulence and rough landings. I still liked 'em not until I sat at the back on our way home. Lesson learned:

Cessna + Cotton Candy Clouds + Passenger Seat = Bad Combination

Plus, the same effin clouds that we passed by on the way to the island brought rain for a couple of minutes too. Boo!
