I was on better spirits when we reach our destination and its breathtaking beauty actually helped improve my mood. It was by far the best sandbar I've ever seen! We asked our boat guide, \u003ci\u003eKuya\u003c/i\u003e Emil, to dock the boat so we can enjoy and take \u003cstrike\u003elots and lots and lots of\u003c/strike\u003e pictures.

I took a 30-minute swim in the pool doing strokes that were once an active part of me. It was good to know that I can still dive, do a perfect Butterfly, and the right breathing for Freestyle despite the mega pounds I gained and the years away from the pool. I still love swimming to bits! \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI spent the latter part of the day doing the things I love.
