Fresher's party ( cub's night) and visit to fabulous puerta galera

In AIM , the freshers are officially welcomed to the AIM by a party mainly called Cub's night( As you know- Cub is the name of the tiger kid ).
In the cub's night party which is hosted by the institute especially the senior batch.In such night ,There are certain interesting contests which are held every year like MISS AIM, Miss AIM sexy and Mr AIM. During our time, Miss Aim was won by a diminutive Filipino lady named Tinni Espritu and the prestigious Miss Sexy AIM was won by
An Indian Femme fatale named Sakshi chopra.Well to tell about her she is a Punjabi kudi from delhi whose skin is as fair as that of a typical Chinese girl and five foot six inches in height.
The party was fabulous and it ended with an Song and dance sequence from the music selected from the Indian ,Filipino and the English numbers.
In the month of September, 2003 we had hectic time in order to finish the course subjects before the mid - semester break from 25 -1 october,2003.
It was during this break I took the first step towards the tourism in manila.It was for the first time in my stay in AIM ,Philippines that I had decided to go out of the manila city to be more precise out of the Luzon island to a small island famous among the tourist - Mindoro island - the destination was Puerta Galera.It was famous for beaches and other beach related activities.My puerat galera visit was preceded by the visit to the taal volcano- which is considered to be the smallest active volcano in the world.
The trip to taal volcano was arranged by our Filipino batchmates in group of ten people .In this short trip we were taken to the ayala highlands - the home to rich and famous , churches and other holy places and many more.It was a good experience.
Now on 27 th September, I started my journey towards puerta galera in mindoro island.
In the morning of 27th sepetember, 2003 I went to Buendia bus depot by the air conditioned taxi available near the Aim building.In buendia I board off the bus which was going to Batangas port. As expected I reached Batangas port from where I reached puerta galera by steamer boat with in an hour’s time. It was four O’clock when I reached the shores of the puerta galera. As I landed on the shore of puerta galera I was approached by some people who were asking me if Iam interested in the hotel or lodging facilities.
After talking with one of them for sometime I agreed to proceed to a certain hotel.
