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 C

Still hungover from our Tour A, we head on to Tour C on our second day at El Nido.

I haven't said this before but I think I enjoyed Tour C more than Tour A. The amazing islands included in the tour were just too mesmerizing including Secret Beach, Hidden Beach, Star Beach, Helicopter Island, and Matinloc Shrine. If I would suggest one tour amongst all the other tours in El Nido, I would say do not skip Tour C ever.

Also, I think I enjoyed it more because in our boat, we met this group of Filipino barkada with a couple of foreigners (whom they also met along the way.) Most of them were locals in Palawan, and they were such a friendly, jolly bunch and since most of them are Filipinos, we clicked right away.

They brought a basket full of green mangoes with bagoong in our boat. #VeryFilipino

During our lunch, I tell you, there was a time there when I was sitting in the sand, having a little rest from all the island hopping that we did, and I was just admiring the whole scenery. I couldn't believe how majestic the place was. I remembered when Astronaut Howard from Big Bang Theory was asked "How's space?" and he said, "Beautiful, beautiful, same old same old." - That's how I felt on our second day. I started to become more immersed into the beauty that is El Nido, that it felt like...-. Like when people asked me "How's El Nido?" and the only answer I can give is "Beautiful, beautiful, same old, same old.". You see, there's no way you can say the place was ugly- or even mediocre. Nope. The place was so grandeur. It's almost paradise. You can be at ease with it, be used to it, sometimes you don't notice it anymore because you've seen it quite often enough, but still beautiful.

This is us during our lunch break. Such a nice feeling to meet new people during travels. We still keep in touch up to this date.

Our hearty tropical meal composed of fresh seafood, fruits, rice, roasted pork, etc. Empacho was on the way, but who cares?

At the end of the tour, hubby and I were too drained and exhausted, given that the last two days were spent in travels and island hopping. Also, we needed to head back to Puerto Princesa for our Underground River Tour. Still, I felt sad thinking it was our last day in El Nido. Our body may be tired from all the kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, and other beach activities that we did, but my heart was full with all the memories El Nido has given me.

Before we went back to Puerto Princesa, I whispered to El Nido a little thank you for allowing me to see her beauty. For once, I thought she was just a dream, a fantasy. But I was so thankful fate brought me to see her. I guess dreams really do come true. You see, I just got married to this beautiful man, we had a wonderful wedding, and then we were able to have our honeymoon in an amazing island called El Nido. Just like the song said "Almost paradise, how could we ask for more?"

But I did ask for more-- that in time, if fate permits again, I wish to go back. Hopefully. And I know I will go back. Someday.

(Next post will be about our Puerto Princesa Tour)

See you in a bit,
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, ...

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...

Wedding Bliss

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.)
