Palawan Adventure with Bebi

(This post got deleted I don't know why! :( So now I have to rewrite it. Boo you, Blogger!!!!)

Anyway...

Iko and I spent our first anniversary in Puerto Princesa Palawan. We were both really excited since it was our first time to travel together.

The hotel that we stayed in was pretty nice. It wasn't my first choice, I wanted to stay at Microtel because it's near the beach, but then it was fully booked so we decided to take Hotel Centro instead. It's still not a bad choice though. Their swimming pool is big and pretty (especially at night) coz it has those dim colorful lights and stuff. The rooms, however, are a little bit small but that's fine. Not like you're gonna stay there all day, right? The hotel is about near the airport and it's easy to just take a tricycle, which is fairly cheap, to go to some restaurants.

We didn't want to waste time so we started our tour right on the same day we arrived. We ate lunch, had our tours booked, and was picked up by our tour guide for a City tour. We went to Mitra's Ranch, Baker's Hill, to a weaving place, Immaculate church and to my personal favorite, the Crocodile Farm. We also went to a market for pasalubong shopping. This was a very tiring tour since we we're walking for the whole day.

Our second day was booked for the famous Underground River. It took two a half hours to Sabanga small port where you’d have to take an outrigger to get to the underground river.  The drive there felt like a roller coaster. The view though, compensated the bad road, as we kept saying "Wow!" on our way. You will see mountains that are made of limestone which feels like you're somewhere on a different country. There are also wild monkey who will welcome you on the Underground River.  It was so cool to see them that close. We were told by the tour guide not to show them our food as these monkeys are snatchers. There were also big bayawaks there which I didn't really care about. I think they look disgusting! The tour inside the Underground River didn't last that long but it was very beautiful and definitely worth it.

The next day (and last), we went on an island hopping on Honda Bay. We visited Pandan island, Snake island, and this place in the middle of the ocean where we saw corals and fishes. It was like we were in a big aquarium. The water was crystal clear and is perfect for snorkeling and fish feeding. To be honest, I like this tour better than the Underground River. 

So yeah, that's about it. For those who are planning to go to Palawan, I suggest you stay there longer. There are more things and activities to do and three days won't be enough. It's very perfect for those who loves the beach like me. I'm pretty sure I will go back there again someday. I LOVE LOVE PALAWAN!!!

Enter, Febuary

January has come and gone, and whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not at liberty to say. Or, I can just be honest and say, I have absolutely no idea what it is that I'm trying to say. I'm just trying to sound smart. Is it working? Haha.

Anyway, my blog is a bore-zone, hardly ever updated, and when it is, let's be honest, I might as well have not written anything at all. I wanna start posting more on this blog. I wanna be like those kind of bloggers who posts their dinners, their travels, and their outfits almost every day. Not like I'm considering myself as a "blogger". I don't even have readers. But I'd like to think that I have some, thank you very much.

Fine. I'm gonna go post an entry about my Palawan Trip later when I get home.

Tata!

The boss is out and I'm so bored!

As I sit here counting down the hours til I get off from work, I can't help but to be a little repulsed by my sloth-like attitude. Not that I'm insulting the humble creature by comparing my negative personality traits with its general description/stereo typed reputation (that of being slow and lazy). But really, it was the only thing I could think of while constructing the sentence in my head.

And so, thanks to whatever my mood of the moment can be described as, this entry is born. Specs as follows:

Topic: None
Purpose: None
Meaningful message: Probably none
Inspiration: Boredom

I already predict that after this post is published, I will be consumed with guilt for neglecting my tasks and responsibilities that I should have been attending to and instead opted to write this entry... woe is me.

I find myself day dreaming often these last few days. Of my life plans, things that I'd like to happen, etc. If only day dreaming about it were enough to make it happen. Then I'd probably have everything I've ever wanted in this world! But, as reality would have it, that's just not the way things work here. Because think about it; if things actually did happen that way, everything would probably be chaotic. It would erase the balance of the Universe. If everyone just got everything they ever wanted, just by thinking about it? Wow. What am I talking about?

Change thought... Aaaand, I'm not getting anything. I guess I will go now.
