All i can say is that Coffee is on mainstream and lives age to ages.. One thing that surely won't start your day right if you haven't take a dose of it! Have you heard of "Drinking Coffee will dehydrate you" A lot of articles online have been spread and if you are a Coffee addict drinking more caffeine won't took its effect and it is suggested that you must be well hydrated in order for your body to response. 

Similar post from Chris Bailey Caffeine can make you a lot more productive, but only if you drink it right. To get as much energy out of caffeine as possible, don’t drink too much, drink lots of water, drink caffeine over a longer period of time (and wait a bit before your second cup), stay away from sugary energy drinks, don’t drink caffeine on an empty stomach (or first thing in the morning), and eat very well if you consume caffeine.

Mostly, who drinks coffee? Those who stay up late at night like call center agents, they can't live without this do you think they would survive graveyard sift without this? As we all know, coffee contains caffeine that is a stimulant that means it enhanced alertness, wakefulness. That means, Coffee at work will help you focus better..

However; Drinking too much coffee can result in some very unpleasant adverse effects. According to a study by researchers at the University of Oklahoma, "caffeine can cause anxiety symptoms in normal individuals, especially in vulnerable patients, like those with pre-existing anxiety disorders."13
In addition, "caffeine use is also associated with symptoms of depression due to either a self-medication theory, or a theory that caffeine itself causes changes in mood."Women who plan on becoming pregnant should be cautious. Researchers from the University of Nevada School of Medicine reported in the British Journal of Pharmacology that regular coffee may reduce a woman's chances of becoming pregnant.14
Medical News Today examined the positive and negative effects of drinking coffee in an article in July 2012, Drinking Coffee: More Good Than Harm? Article from: Medical News Today

The Public ferry fare is Php 50 per person. a 45minutes boat ride

(This is how far we walked due to Low-Tide from the Bonsai attraction up to the Resort (because we ride in a private boat they drop us in our resort) that was around 2pm i think, this is the reason why they fetch the passengers at the Pantalan port around 4pm)

THINGS To Know and Must Bring;

  • The Island Electricity is only available from 6pm to 6am because it is only power generated
  • Don't forget your h20! and foods.

We've stayed at Villa Cleofas you can check their website in the link. Thanks to tito Tonet for guiding us in our trip especially for accommodating us at the Resort.

Going to the Port we were guided by the officials kids around the resort it was at least 45minutes walk. And the ferry on Weekends trip earlier than the schedule time, again there are 2 trips going back to Mauban 7:30am and 12noon only.
