Honeymoon in Palawan: Palawan Museum

Palawan Museum and Plaza Cuartel (Travel Date: April 24, 2018)

This is my last post about our honeymoon trip in Palawan. If you haven't read my previous posts, here are the links for your convenience:

PALAWAN MUSEUM

Palawan Museum is a small museum located in the center of Puerto Princesa. It looked like a little government office and if not for the sign "Palawan Museum", we wouldn't have found the place.

But even if this museum is a bit small, it has a lot of interesting things to offer, showing a bit of history, not only of Palawan, but of the Philippines as well.

Some artifacts

Old tribal version of a backpack

Native bags and baskets

More bags and baskets

Hubby trying to understand the board

Write up about "Baybayin", which is an old form of Filipino writing

A cute story of a proposal.
This has got to be my favorite write-up among all the ones I've seen in the museum.

I love this piece! It's an old tablet that has writings in Baybayin.

More articles regarding the old language

Sea Corals in different forms

Interesting piece

Different type of seeds

Ancient items

Hunting devices

Another interesting piece

I love this still-life presentation of tribal babaylan (I think)

More baskets

Old-fashioned hair accessories

Vases

This one is a huge shell. And you can touch it, too.

PLAZA CUARTEL

Nothing much to see in Plaza Cuartel but I believe this park has been a part of American World War. Pretty historic, right? It somehow reminded me of small spot in Intramuros. Here we just took advantage of the quietness of the place and took a little rest before heading back home to our hotel.

Beautiful front of the plaza. Very Intramuros, right?

After our City Tour, we went back home to our hotel to fix ourselves and prepare for our flight back home.

Our Palawan trip has got to be the most memorable travel we have ever done up to date. My heart's so full of the stories and experiences, like I really wished I could do them all again. In my heart I really wished for more chances of travel like this. As I type this extro, I can't help but shed a little tear because it feels like saying goodbye again to Palawan. You see, when you are in a happy place, sometimes you wish it to last. But all I could do now is to wish again, that someday, I may go back to Palawan again. I wish by that time, I am with my family escpecially my little one. I want them to also see the beauty of Palawan.

Cheers to more travel experiences!

Till my next escapade.

Love,

Revlon Color Lustrous Lip Gloss in Gold Frost

Ever since I started working, I have been wearing lipsticks all the time and neglecting the joys a lipgloss can do. I don't know if it's the age or maybe I have worn a lot of gloss when I was on my teens that I feel lipstick is for my twenties. But, when I saw Revlon Color Lustrous lipgloss, I cant help but fall in love once again with lip glosses. Why do I love this gloss? Let me count the ways.. 1. The shade is a beautiful golden nude that has a bit of shimmer, not glitters, that creates a lovely shine to the lips. 2. It glides on smoothly and is not sticky to wear. 3. Opacity is just right, not too opaque, not too sheer. I got this on sale so the price is way lower than usual, I got this for only P200 (such a steal right?)\The sales assistant told me that Revlon booths placed in the middle of the malls have more sale items compared to counters located inside the department stores. So, if you are looki...

AT LEAST I CAN STILL SEE: Living Life through Amblyopia

All my life, people thought I am just banlag (squint) or someone who has a scar on her right eye. What some people do not know exactly is that I am almost blind. After thousands of eye tests to different ophthalmologists and optometrists, mine is a rare condition called Amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) coupled with color-blindness. Let us first start with my right eye. If you will look closely into my cornea, it has this white scar that originated by birth. If I will only use my right eye and let my left eye be closed, I will see everything in blur. Because of an inborn scar, there is a small white cast blocking my right eye, I cannot see the details of an image. I only see a vision, a blur, a shape. For example, if there is a calendar in front of me, looking only through my right eye, I would only see a white rectangle with dots and some lines. Imagine watching TV with white sheer cloth in front of your eyes-- that's the perspective of my right eye. God must have pi...

NOTD: Bride and Bridesmaids

This post will be photo heavy so beware. Anyways, been wanting to try out some nail stickers but I am not really sure why I haven't had the chance to actually buy and put them on my nails. However, a visit to a craft store led me to find these cute flowers so I thought of giving these stickers a try. I like them actually. What do you think? These nails remind me of my brother's wedding which I actually attended as the maid of honor... I am the girl next to the bride... and as the wedding singer as well... Me and my Marvellous Man So, here's my nails again for your viewing pleasure. That's all for now. I promise to tell you more next time. Bye!

My Birthday Shenanigans : ABS-CBN Tour and ASAP Live

August is my birthday month so instead of doing my usual "Pieces of My Month" series, I decided to make it more special by doing series of posts called "My Birthday Shenanigans." I know that this has been an overdue post as we are already running through "BER" months, but as I have said before, it is better to post late than never. Anyways, one of the major things I did during my birthday was to take a tour around ABS-CBN studio. ABS-CBN is the largest broadcasting network in the Philippines as far as I know. So, if you are living in the Philippines, there is no way you do not know what ABS-CBN is. It has produced tons of television shows, entertainers, artists, broadcasters, movies, etc. My brother and my sister-in-law (who was also celebrating her birthday that day) were kind enough to invite me to join them in seeing the "behind the scenes" of TV production.
