When we were at Baker's Hill, I was kind of wondering why it's called as such because it looked like a park and not a bakery. Later did I know that it is actually a theme park with bakery inside.
BUTTERFLY GARDEN
One of my favorite attractions in Puerto Princesa, Butterfly Garden is the home to hundreds of butterflies, (hence the name, of course!). Here you can actually hold the butterfly and see their habitat up close. This place is also a home to some bugs, insects, and other reptiles.
I was so thrilled to touch such beautiful butterfly!
I actually don't remember the time a butterfly is in my hand. I think this was the first time-- and it sat on my hand for more than a minute! So cool!
This is the butterflies' food.
Some reptiles
...and bugs.
PALAW'AN TRIBE
Inside the Butterfly Garden, there was a local tribe that you get to see a gist of their culture. You can also have a picture taking with them if you want.
They showed us their habitat; how they hunt for food, their musical instruments, and other forms of their culture.
Huge snake!
You can also have your photo taken with the Palaw'an tribe members.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CATHEDRAL
Then we went to Immaculate Conception Cathedral and I honestly thought it's as huge as Manila Cathedral. I kind of have an impression that "cathedrals" are these gigantic churches. I guess I was wrong. Or maybe I was deceived by photos I have seen online and I thought it's humongous. Nevertheless, this cathedral may be small but its history is effin huge. This church was built in 1870s and according to Mr. Google, this is where the first mass in Puerto Princesa happened.
Also, I have always been fond of visiting new churches especially old ones like this because I love seeing amazing architectural structures. Plus, there's a superstition belief amongst Catholics that if it's your first time to visit a certain church, whatever you prayed for in that church will be granted.

Another reason why I love going to new churches: Architectural Structures
We lit these candles for our departed love ones.
Also, I thank God for giving us a beautiful wedding and amazing honeymoon trip.
I also asked for our safety on our journey back home.
We then went to other places such as Plaza Cuartel and Palawan Museum, but I am gonna be sharing about them in my next posts.
Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...
Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...
I was doing a little stroll along beauty section when the sales assistant asked me, "Ma'am, ano pong nilagay niyo sa kilay nio, ang ganda kasi e, sanay na sanay kayo magkilay..." "Maam, what product did you use on your eyebrows? You are really good on doing your brows!" Truth is, I wasn't always this good with brows. I had my fair share of uneven brows, messy brows, overplucked, bushy, wrong shape, wrong curves. But by having those mistakes, I learned how to perfect my brows, I learned by doing, which I think is one of the most important thing when it comes to make-up. You learn every single time you do it. I still do mistakes from time to time, and I am still improving every single day, but I guess that's just the beauty of make-up. Sometimes, you've created a masterpiece, sometimes, you've created a trash... in that way, you enhance your skills. Okay,did I just became very sentimental about eyebrows? Yes, I did. Anyways, ...

June is said to be the wedding season of the year. So, I thought of doing a series called Wedding Bliss where I share all things I learned when I planned my wedding last year (April 2018.) In a series of blogposts for the whole month of June, I will talk about my suppliers and my thoughts on them. I will share some insights, dos and donts, and important reminders on wedding planning. I will also put some Do-It-Yourself projects that I did during our wedding. Hope you guys enjoy this series for this wedding season of June. Love,
Last year, I did some kind of a monthly gratitude list wherein I gather all images of important happenings in my life for that certain month. I never get to do that this year so I am planning to do it once more. It has helped me to become more positive in life even though I have been struggling with lots of things and that my life is too far from being perfect. Also, I want to realize that there are certain things I need to be grateful for because sometimes I am not able to see good things happening around me. So in accordance of my "coming back to blogging" thang and because this is also part of my birthmonth celebration, I am listing down some pieces of my August. Big part of my month is the celebration of my birthday with my family. We went to VIKINGS, a luxury all you can eat buffet. It was my first time there and I was just so happy to be with the whole family because I guess it was a rare chance that we get to eat out together as a whole. Being a Vikin...
