kengkoy moments.....

1. Sitting at the boat for 6 hours was very exhausted, try to hire an

Airplane for they have a runway at the island.

2. Since it was a fishing boat, expect that the smell of the fish will

be your smell to,,( ayoko tlga nito.)

3. You are not comfortable int the boat because you are sitting in

a wood which is part of the boat with no back rest. (sandalan)

4. Pick friends with unlimited stories to join you. you will not survive the trip without this.
