Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (Travel Date: April 24, 2018)
For this post, I will be sharing our visit to Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, hubby and I went to Palawan for our honeymoon. If you haven't already, you may read our journey by clicking the following links:
This place is a home to crocodiles and other rare wild animals. Here we have seen the efforts of Palawan people to save their rich animal population especially crocodiles whose species have been considered as endangered.
They let people in batch by batch so the place won't be crowded. We waited first in this area, and of course, a little photo op.
Upon entering the lobby, a tour guide welcomed our group and he explained how to maximize our visit in the area, and what to see in the center. He also explained a little history of the place and some "lonely planet-ish" information.
In the lobby, there housed a preserved crocodile skin and bones. It was one of the biggest crocodiles ever captured in the country (and probably in Asia). Then the tour guide also mentioned "Lolong", also captured in the Philippines, who became famous because it's been said that it's the biggest crocodile ever in the whole world. Seeing how huge the preserved crocodile was, I could only imagine how huge Lolong was. Pretty scary, but I felt proud knowing how rich Philippine nature is.
This place is also the sanctuary to thousand crocodiles. Here we saw how they try to populate the crocodile specie in several basins.
In our background, those basins are where they place the little crocodiles. Quite scary knowing soon these babies will turn into monster-like gigantic crocodiles-- but they're still so small that they looked so cute. Ironic, right?

There were also cages and cages of crocodiles in different forms, sizes, and colors. I have to admit I was kind of scared seeing these crocodiles but happy to see the efforts of Palawenios to save these species.
That's one huge crocodile!
More crocodiles!
After seeing the crocodiles, the tour guide let us explore the whole center on our own. Aside from crocodiles, we have also encountered different endangered species and wild animals.
Pumba, is that you?
Leopard! I actually thought it was huge!-- but it was only the size of a cat.
But it's okay. At least I saw a leopard.
Loooooong albino snakes!
This one was so cute!
That's one gorgeous bird! I think I've seen this type of bird in the film "Rio".
More snake!
At the end of the tour, you can have your photo taken with one of the crocodiles. I was so scared but I just couldn't let the opportunity pass. So, I summon up all my courage just to carry one on my own!
This little crocodile was wiggling before the caretaker handed it to me so I was really, really scared at that time.
Thankfully nothing bad happened. They were harmless.
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...

This is a long and overdue post about the free facial and diamond peel given by the lovely people of Gluta. I am not the one to get facials because I am not comfortable getting under someone else's hands. (This is the reason why I keep on coming back to the same hairstylist). But this is free so might as well try it. (Who doesn't want free stuff anyway?) The event happened last month at Gluta booth, Robinsons Manila. This is part of the launch of their Gluta White and Firm line, which according to the lady, the first product line that was able to produce all whitening products in just one launch (facial wash, lotion, soap, moisturizer, etc.) Gluta Advance White and Firm Products Now back to the facial, they first remove my makeup with a cleanser, then they further cleaned my whole face with another cleanser. Then, they also used a vacuum to further remove deep-seated dirt from my face. That vacuum felt like some kid was giving me little kisses. It did not hur...
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...
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 ...
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...
