All the places we went were one of the most beautiful and good experiences I've been. I just think that it’s not just our lucky day on our last activity because even though the place was very nice, it's just the weather and sea conditions that disappoint us which is the thing that we cannot control. We just learn how to make things better than making it more even worst. Like, For finding another way how to enjoy places even if it's far from expectation. I'm so in love with Marinduque Island and I will definitely come back because I still want to fulfill all the experiences. I came back home with lots of memories, experiences, and all the lessons I learned and that is priceless and my most memorable vacation. Again, a heart-shaped island where my heart fell in love with, Marinduque.

The next day is our last activity and the most exciting part that we planned. We planned to do some kayaking, banana boat, sunset photos, etc. at Wawiz Beach Resort. We were already getting ready at 12nn even though we were going to leave by 5 pm. We just wanted it to be perfect since it was one of the highlights of our vacation so we're getting ready early because we can't miss the sunset. We are all done getting ready and we started to walk at the beach from Maniwaya Island to Wawiz Island at 4 pm so we were going to arrive before or during sunset. While we're walking, the sky is color gray and the water is starting to drop from the sky. We stay at the nearest store beside the beach till the raindrops disappeared. It stops after a while and we continue to walk. When we get to Wawiz Beach, it was raining again so we look for another store to shelter. We waited til the rain stops but the sky is gray and very dark and the sea was low tide and pure green because of the seaweed so the owner of the beach doesn't allow any water activity like kayaking, banana boating, jet skiing, etc. on that day because of the weather and sea conditions. We’re truly disappointed because all our plans were ruined and it's far from our expectations or what we fantasize about. But we still proceed on taking photos, we did it at night to have aesthetic beach photos night shots. We still survive our photo shoot, it’s just very far from what we expected and fantasize about. But we still make sure that we enjoyed ourselves even though our plans were ruined. I'd say that the place was nice, it's just the weather and sea conditions that made us disappointed about our experience but the place was so good.

The next day, we went to a floating cottage in the middle of the ocean. My friends did snorkeling while I do freediving. The water was so blue but not clear if you were looking from the boat or floating cottage. But the water under the ocean was very clear and I can clearly see all the little fishes and a few corals. I enjoyed my freediving but the waves were so big that gives me difficulty in diving and taking videos.

Then, We left around 8:30 am at Sand Bar and then went to our next destination, Sunong Bato. Its name is derived from a local word that means "nakapatong" because the rock formation looks like someone put that rock over the cliff. The beach was small and rocky plus the sand isn’t that fine but I still enjoy the big rock where we can jump on it. We left Sunong Bato by 10 am and then walked to Maniwaya Island for an hour. It was very hot under the sun. We stayed on Maniwaya Island at our friend's home and we spent the rest of our day and night there. We played games and brought Halo-Halo there.

On our 4th day, we get ready for our third activity and that is Island Hopping. We were going to Sand Bar first that’s why we need to leave very early and we woke up at 4 am. We packed a few things, get ready and eat breakfast that’s why we left Polo Island by 5 am because we need to get there by 6 am. We rode on a boat again while still doing our makeup because we don’t have time when we were still on Polo Island. After we finished, we were star stuck at the sunrise, it was very lively and orange. We feel the vitamins from the sunrise and we let the sun touches us. It feels so good and the view of the sunrise is very gorgeous but sadly, there’s a technical thing issue so we have to wait for a while. We arrived at Sand Bar by already 7:30 am and the ocean is already on our knees. There are a lot of boats and tourists at the Sand Bar and we explore the middle island. There was nothing much to do aside from taking photos because the water of the ocean there was very blue and clear like crystal. You’ll completely fall in love with the clear ocean there!

On the third day, we spent our second activity in the main town of Marinduque because it's the procession of the Moriones Festival and the Saints. After all, it's Holy Week. We rode the boat from Polo Island to the town of Santa Cruz, Marinduque. The view looks like I'm in Palawan because of the green water and full of trees everywhere. When we arrived there, we went directly straight to see what was happening and what we can do in there. We saw many things like a lot of people wearing morion costumes, a lot of souvenir stalls, big statues, all the saints, food stalls, etc. There were so many activities to do but we decided to eat first since it was already lunchtime. We check the food in the food stalls but we just decided to eat at Carinderia or a humble local eatery. Of course, the food there are all Filipino recipes just like what we wanted. The place is small and very simple since it was a carinderia and the foods were cheap yet delicious. After we ate, we went to the church and that's when we saw all the saints. They're all big and beautiful. The church is huge too. After that, we went to every souvenir stall, and I was certainly in love with all their handmade products. We brought some keychains and ref magnet first because it was like the common souvenir to bring into our home. It was very hard to choose a design since all of them were lovely. The next one is the stall full of handmade fans or pamaypay. I was delighted because the ribbon design of pamaypay makes it very unique. The design has different vibes like floral, vintage, plain colors, etc. I brought two pamaypay as birthday gifts for my Lola and Mommy and they truly like them. After I pay, I saw a stall full of gorgeous handmade summer hats. I've been wanting to get one and am glad to meet this lovely old couple who made them. We rashly check the store and there were a lot of designs they made. While trying on the hats, I enjoyed having conversations with the old couple, they're just lovely. They also helped me to pick a design that suits me and give me a little discount on the hat summer product I brought from them. The next stall we saw selling handmade necklaces, bracelets, earrings, anklets, etc. And all of us brought to have matchy anklets and brought other souvenirs from them. We were kinda tired at that time but we saw a stall full of paintings and lots of artwork and we took a picture of them for our appreciation. After a while, we started to take photos with every morion we saw, they have different creative costumes. We were having fun taking photos with them and all of them were nice. After that, we started to wait for the procession. There are a lot of people who participated in the Parade of Saints. We watched the procession from the start til the end. The saints were bright and give goosebumps to us. It was very tiring but we had so much fun! We go back to Polo Island to spend and rest our night again there because we were going to leave early for our next destination.

On our second day, we spent our first activity outside the island of Polo Island. I am wearing orange and the sky we're turning blue and gray. There have many minimalist cottages there and lots of shells and starfishes. We eat and play games throughout the day. All of my friends swim in the ocean but I was too busy playing and adoring with all the starfish so I stay at the beach. The place is so nice especially when you're bonding with family and friends and definitely will recommend it but the sky was just a little bit disappointing because we were expecting a lovely sunset but it's fine because we can't control the sky.

Marinduque is a heart-shaped island province in the Mimaropa region that nestles between Tayabas Bay and the Sibuyan Sea. Marinduque is situated between the gorgeous Tayabas Bay and the Sibuyan Sea, making the beaches all around the island extremely popular for their pristine and world-class beauty.

We left on April 5, 2023, at 4 am so I woke up very early so I won't be late. We rode on a jeep from Atimonan to General Luna. I just slept during the ride from Atimonan to Gen.Luna because there was still not much to see on our way. I exactly woke up when we arrived at Gen.Luna beside their beach because we were going to ride a boat to our next destination to Polo Island, Marinduque. We hop on the boat and the ride is about almost 2 hours I didn't even get bored during the ride on the boat because the wind and the sound of the waves were very relaxing and comforting. I also love seeing every island of Marinduque and I wanted to remember every island. The island there are all beautiful and I adore them even though I'm far away. While being in love with the views I didn't even know we'd already arrived at Polo Island Marinduque. The ocean we're bluer than blue as the sky. At first, it was a normal island province and we directly went straight to the home of my best friend's relative to rest and spend the night there because of the tiring trip.
