Planning trip to Balut Island
Posted: September 11th, 2016, 4:43 pm
Ok, I was all excited about going to the Philippines, specifically to the Balut Islands, as someone I know lives there.
It was no surprise to me to find out the she was telling the truth that it is a very remote place. This place is so remote that it is not only at the bottom of the bottom of Philippines but there are no planes to fly there and very few boats go there and at select times. The transportation I learned about was from reading about it recently.
To be honest, I really should have known this was a very remote place from all the pictures she has sent me and you can see the scenery from the background, where much of it seem untouched. It is so remote that a flower delivery service will not go there, something else she has informed me about.
Now, I see why when I am on the phone with her, I get poor call quality and many dropped called.
Now it did not bother me about my concerns of being there when in the course of a month, she got Dengue fever, a cold and then a bad dog bite, which she sent pictures of that too to prove to me that she was in the hospital. I really wish she didn't show me the pictures of her in the hospital and her leg as that was my first time ever seeing a real wound even though I been in many motorcycle accidents. But none of those had gashes as deep as her leg has. But hey, at least when I go there we will have matching legs, as I had a small chink of flesh ripped from my leg when a bike pedal bar broke off. But atleast, I know she really is this very petite woman I see in all the pictures.
But anyways, now I am thinking that me going there will be like the Revanent with Leonardo DaCrapio in it.
Now, I have raised myself to have unbiased views of many things and to block out multiple emotions, despite me never having a real fear of anything, I am definitely scared to go a remote island that even many of the Filipinos aren't even aware of.
The thing is that I was also looking forward to go to the Philippines to get away from this great divide in present situation.
I got a father who only knows how to work but yet understand what a loving and healthy relationship is supposed to be with anyone, a mother who is legally insane but always had a bad temper, loves to gamble, sell drugs, thinks I should deal with her verbally abusive nature. Then there is my psycho soon to be ex wife. She thinks she can abuse the system by keeping a restraining order on me, yet trying to keep me on the back burner, tries to incriminate me to take away my visitations with Johnathan as she had no control or any influence over the general Magistrate's decision for, tries using third party communication with me, because I do not trust her nor do I want to talk to her and not going to yield to her games, I utterly refuse to allow her to establish third party contact me. Because if she really cared about our son, she should have thought about arranging a means of monitored communication with me. instead of always finding ways to point fingers at me for stuff, threaten me and make claims that I am a bad parent.
With me, the stuff does not end with my first wife, Jackie, I even go so tired of her stunted I had called the police and even brought it up in a court hearing. Yet, I am growing increasingly frustrated on how they can worry about her rights to protection but want to do nothing about her actions.
To make matters worst, the people who are supposed to be supporting me, my parents, does not see much fault in Jackie's actions nor do they thing she is out of control, which is a surprise as much of my entire family does not like her, how disrespectful she was to my family, how they objected to us getting married and having a child, well they love our son Johnathan to death though, despite him being bi racial and his mother side of the family is racist.
Sorry to mention much about my first wife as this is not the only time I have mentioned her, but it is just many headaches for me, which is why my first trip to the Philippines was going to be 2 months, plus it would have given me time to really understand my relationship with Sherly.
But here is my concerns with questions.
Does many foreigners even go to the Balut Island?
Is there anything else I need to worry about in Balut Island other mosquitoes and rabid dogs, such as lions, tigers and bears?
Even though this place is remote, in case I needed space and to get away for a bit, am I in a tight situation where I will really have no where to go, let alone finding a secure place?
I read when taking the boat to Balut Island that I need to keep my possessions secure, especially if I am a heavy sleeper and the boats apparently, leave at midnight. So with me having a $2,000 dollar laptop that I use for college work and game development, I am especially scared to leave America with it. Is there a way to make sure it is safe, during my travels while I sleep as we all know I will not be allowed to put an electric lock around my bag that can discharge small volts of electricity will not be able to make it through airports?
I assume that because this place is very remote, all fantasies of going to a tropical island to enjoy fancy foods and pretty mixed drinks would be limited?
Just for kicked, can't I just take the route of convenience, by jump from a plane to land on the island instead?
