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

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...

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.

Begin Your Love Story with Friendship

My love story started with friendship. Friendship with myself, that is. Most people would talk about how to find love and how to make it last forever, but people rarely talk about who they are before the love story began. No one has taken the time to look at where those people with wonderful relationship came from. We mostly talk about what's happening inside a love story, but I guess it's time we talk about the pre-production stage and see how loving our own "single" self makes us suitable to be a loving partner. Before I had my first boyfriend, all I know about romantic love is the imagination set to me by the embellished words of Elizabeth Browning and Shakespeare. I had my first boyfriend at the late age at the ripe age of 22 (I am happy to admit I am still with the same man now that I am 28 years old.) While some of my friends are getting married at that age, or maybe they have collected few boyfriends already, I was just starting to know what real relati...
