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,

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

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 ...

Happiness and All in Between

Source Life is freaking awesome, let me just say that. I’m happy to finally say I am happy (forgive the redundancy). I am so overwhelmed with all the blessings I see around me. Much more, I am filled with peace which is far too precious than any other material things in this world. Last night, while I was doing my “journaling” routine, I reviewed my bucket list I made at the beginning of the year. I called it “PUSH MO YAN, GIRL” list. Three of them I already ticked off including the last one which says “BE HAPPY.” For the past two years, I feel stuck. I don't really know what to do with my life. Along with my self-imposed crisis, I felt truly unhappy, but God has helped me make better decisions in life that has led me to find happiness with who I was, who I am, and who I want to be in the future. Now, I feel so much better- the best version I could ever be since my quarter life has began and I am no longer afraid of my dreams. I am no longer at lost, I think. Large part o...

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

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...

Inspired by JLO's Nude Lips: In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz

I have always been on the hunt for a nice nude lipstick that can beautifully mute my pigmented lips. The desire to rummage around for the best neutral lipstick started when I would always see myself being drawn to wearing dark hues of eyeshadows, only to find out I have no nude lipstick to pair it with. I would always end up wearing light pink lipstick which I think is just fine but I wish I could have a neutral colored lipstick so the eyeshadows can pop rather than making the lipstick clash to the eye make-up. Should I say my hunt is always a fail. Sometimes, it’s too pale, too light, a lot of browns, lots of pinks, always a fail. What I really want to have is the kind of lipstick that will definitely erase my lips but won’t make me appear sickly. Arrrgh! Women are such confused beings! Anyways, this is how nude I want my lipstick to be… Girl crushing is on! I always wonder how JLO rock the nude up until I saw I video of youtuber Jenn Im where the girl uses not brown or light...

Honeymoon in Palawan: EL NIDO TOUR C

El Nido: Tour C (Travel Date: April 22, 2018) It was our second day in El Nido ( Read our first day here ) but we woke up too early for our tour, so we went to beach front first to enjoy the beautiful morning sun. I have always loved mornings at the beach, and I loved it even more now because of El Nido. "It's gonna be a marvellous day," I said to myself. Indeed it was marvellous much. This is one of the several posts I made about our Trip to Palawan. Here are the links to other posts for your convenience: El Nido Tour A El Nido Tour C Underground River Mitra's Ranch Bakers Hill, Butterfly Garden and Tribal Village, Immaculate Conception Cathedral Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center Palawan Museum and Plaza Cuartel Beach hair, sunkissed skin, amazing view... more of these please EL NIDO TOUR C Still hungover from our Tour A, we head on to Tour C on our second day at El Nido. I haven't said t...

Tragedy after Tragedy

My heart is breaking right now that no amount of manicure can ever heal. I thought of creating a nail of the day post (since this is what this blog is all about) but then it pains to see my countrymen face tragedy after tragedy that I feel a need to set aside a polish post and to really share what I feel and see around me. As of this writing, my lovely country, the Philippines, is under national calamity because part of the Philippines suffered from the super typhoon Haiyan. Prior to the typhoon, the country also bear magnitude 7 earthquake, heartbreaking terrorism in Zamboanga, and the additional issue of pork barrel scam. Millions have suffered and we Filipinos have suffered enough. There is no room for laughter. Any amount of fun is a sign of insensitivity. It is not easy to watch the news without crying because you see your country being whipped from head to toe and you feel so bruised and battered. Amid all these things, I see greatness here and there. Different fund raising p...
