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 ...

Jazzy Collections Eyebrow Gel

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, ...

Bicol

This is another travelogue I found on my drafts. Just want to publish it 'coz "sayang naman" Again, more on photologs so bare with us.

EOS Lip Balm, Overrated?

I was looking at old photos in my computer and I saw these cute pictures of EOS Lipbalm and I remembered how much I love this product but I shelved it for various reasons. EOS and I had some good times, you know. I enjoyed the days when kissing it feels fruity on my lips. But then, I have slowly fallen out of love from it. It wasn't because it was a horrible product but because it didn't last on me and I think there’s so many lip balms out there that offers better service than just cute packaging and fruity taste. Let me give you the details of our love story. This product became popular last year because of its cute packaging. So many beauty gurus raved about it but lately, it has been categorized under overrated product list. (Source) It got me into thinking if EOS lip balm is really an overrated product. Why did I shelved this product anyway? I remembered it was a year ago when I got my EOS lip balm in strawberry sorbet. Believe you me, I was so freaki...

COVER: For All You've Done, At the Cross

Pieces of my Month: AUGUST 2015

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...

On Self-Acceptance

It was late September when I started "Marvellous Much." For two months, I labored myself from taking photos to writing to editing and then publishing. I took this as my own, my baby, my little sanctuary. Although I've done several blogs before, this is the first time I have ever done a blog that is somehow commercial and is focusing on a certain niche. I aim to create a professional blog on this one, something that I can give to the world. Every now and then, before I click the "publish" button, I would see myself stepping back and forth. I know I doubt myself so much. I always see myself as not good enough. Every time I would go public, things scream unto my head - words such as "what will they think of my work?" "Is this great?" "Will the people like it?" I hate this thing about myself. When you lack confidence, you lack strength. I hate myself for this. I hate that I sometimes hate myself. However, for the past two months, wi...
