An Exploratory Place Worth Discovering: Eagle Point Resort

10:53 PM | Labels: , ,

Sea-turtles and baby sharks as swim buddies?
Again, sea-turtles and baby sharks as swim  buddies?


With sea-turtles, yes; but go swimming together with baby sharks? Oh no!
T'was fifty times before I had convinced myself, asked for the snorkels, and plunged into the 12ft deep pool. It's my chance to view fishes up close! I just told myself i can do it and be like Agua Bendita :-).  


Yes, you can swim together with the baby sharks and other marine life creatures through their so called "reef pool". Reef pool is a salt water pool filled with fish, baby sharks, sea-turtle, and others. Actually the pool is especially made as a training ground for novice scuba divers, snorkelers and those who are afraid to swim in the deep blue sea. But i heard, that they are using it too as a rehabilitation pool for injured sea creatures before they are released back into the open sea.

Eagle Point Resort | Quick Escape from Work Chaos

1:52 AM | Labels: , , ,






Stressed? 

When hassles of everyday life start to overwhelm, it is comforting to know we can escape to the warm sun and surf or swim on a beach. Luckily, Philippines has a wide great choices of beach destination located in all parts of the country...   

And really lucky me, for i'm residing in Laguna, i can choose to escape quickly either to Tagaytay or  Batangas. I preferred Tagaytay but my family opt for Batangas. T'was then a two hours drive from our place to Eagle Point Resort in Barrio Bagalagit, Mabini Batangas. Consulting google map, EPR is situated on the tip of the Calumpang Peninsula and on the Southern part of Balayan Bay.  

Pinoy Trivia: Locals calls the town Bagalagit, from the word Bagalangit, meaning "Almost heaven"...

EPR is about 6hectares of slopping land, the biggest resort in Bagalangit. Being at the tip of the Calumpang Peninsula, it has one of the best view of the seascape.

Bird watching | Eagle Point Resort

2:57 AM | Labels: , , ,

Are there eagles in Eagle Point Resort?

Known as the Philippine's premier dive resort in Batangas, are there eagles, too, in Eagle Point Resort? This is the question that first popped out of my mind upon hearing the invitation from my sister to come with them. It was year 2005, when my itchy feet first landed on EPR's acquired Sepoc Beach. Sepoc Beach Center is EPR' s private island and its about 20 minute boat ride from the main resort. For snorkeling novice like me, i considered it already a great one for its extensive coral reef garden lies not far away from the beach. 

Meanwhile, to answer the question, YES. In fact, EPR is named after the white-hooded kites that play and hunt the area. 

Luckily, i was able to saw some birds flocking freely in one of the island's secluded area. But, i'm not a birdie expert, so I'm not sure what kind of bird specie it is.


I guess it was between 2PM to 3PM, (I'm not wearing a watch) when I begun hearing some noises from birds. Out of curiousity, i followed these winged creatures flew from one tree to another, until finally discovered to where they flocked! It was a mixed reaction of amazement and fear! Amazement, for that's one of a kind experience! Fear, because I've realized I am alone, and well, a few meters away from the main cottage. So i hurriedly went back. My only regret was that, i didn't bring my handy video camera when i followed them.       




That was five years ago.

Sand flea bites from Bohol

7:47 PM | Labels: ,

Did you know that there are unseen insects that live in the sand beach?
 
Until a week ago, I haven't. I just learned it from the dermatologist that the culprits for these itchy bumps on my arms and legs were sand fleas. Three of us ( with Millete & Bien ) experienced bites of sand fleas along the shore of Panglao beach in Dumaluan, Bohol. You won't notice their bites, for they are too small. It was only a day after that the bites were extremely itchy. I had the worst, because the doctor said it reacts most on those with sensitive skin. I have it in almost all parts of my body. Dr. Mendoza, of Mega Clinic's prescription costs me almost P500 for the cream (Clobetasol Propionate) and anti histamine (Cetrizine HCL).

I have the pictures below for you to look at how my sand flea bites developed in just 2days:
I have these bites as keepsakes, wonderin' how many weeks it will be completely healed. ..

Given a chance to visit the famous white sand of Bohol one more time?
Why not ? But this time, ill bring anti bacterial ointment with me. I'll be ready with my 500 peso worth anti bacterial cream!

:-)
