Plan your trip! PUERTO GALERA EXPERIENCE! SUMMER VACATION

Still a month remaining to go out and have a vacation and enjoy the summer!

One of the most popular destination in the PHILIPPINES is Mindoro's very own Puerto Galera!
           Puerto Galera is the northwesternmost municipality in the province of Oriental Mindoro,Philippines. It is located at the southwestern end of the Isla Verde Passage, about 130 kilometers (81 mi) south of Manila.


The place is popular for its wonderful beaches, waterfalls and snorkeling and diving spots. 


This guide will help you on how to get to Puerto Galera from Manila, how much it will cost you if your planning to stay for 3days and 2nights!


First Ride a Bus from Manila to Batangas Pier


Jac Liner bus company
   Kamias Terminal
2 Mapagmahal St. Bgy. Pinyahan, cor Edsa, QC
927-6139

It will cost you about P175.00 going to batangas pier and another P175.00 going back from pier to EDSA

 

Total cost : P350.00

From Batangas Port, you will take a motor boat ride to Puerto galera, this costs about 270-290 pesos per trip, but they offer round trip tickets for P500 pesos plus you have to pay 80 pesos for maintenance and whatever

Total cost P580.00

The boat will stop at Sabang first (Popular for its diving spots and snorkeling) then at White beach (Popular for its long white sand beach)

Upon arriving at the beach lots of activity coordinators will ask you if you already have a place to stay, but booking online days before the trip is better.

Many hotels offer budget friendly prices..

P500 - P2500 per night depending on the number of pax!

I suggest you book in hotels that are just in front of the beach!

How to Survive the First Year in Med School

With all the books you have to read, with all the tests you have to take, the sleepless nights, when coffee becomes your friend and time is the enemy.. Yup, you are a Medical student.

Frequently asked question "How do you survive your first year in medicine?"

Honestly, entering the field of medicine is a suicide, how ironic that people that pursue medicine wants to cure the sick but forget about their selves.

So, how did i survived my first year?

LISTEN, LEARN, LIVE

Listening - one of the most underestimated tool, always listen to your lectures, chances that things mentioned here will be on your examinations.

Learn-  do not end a day without any lessons / new information learned.. Try writing in a notebook, anything that you have learned from that day. There are lots of things to learn in medicine! enjoy the fact that you are now seeing things in a different perspective :)

Live - In my case, every friday is a movie day! DEVOUR a mouth watering burger! Laugh! Relax! You must not forget to live life, and enjoy the little things. Yes, medicine will be very tough and stressful but a warm glass of milk, a good laugh and seeing your favorite tv show, will help you keep your sanity :P

*Get enough sleep! - this is very important, atleast for me :))
 never take an exam without getting enough sleep, remember your brain organizes your thoughts when you are in your deep sleep :P
