I had a lot of realization during my trip which I am going to write very soon. Christmas is very much celebrated in the Philippines, it's the most awaited time of the year, we start the celebration from the month of June, would you believe that? Philippines is the only Catholic country in the Asian continent, I supposed while others are Buddhist, Muslims, etc. We Filipinos value family among all other aspects of life, and it's the main reason why people searched for jobs outside the country, they want to earn more because they want the best for their family.

Day 2

We went to Papakit's Marina and Fishing Lagoon on the second day. All six of us, me, Mac, Jean, Earon, Jillian and Dharel (Jean's boyfriend). It was my first time doing the zip line, we also tried horse back riding. Earon was a bit scared and nervous at first, but he get over it. They tried fishing but failed. In the end, we just had dinner in the expensive with slow waitresses restaurant. Our Calamares took ages and when it arrived, it just came with several pieces.

For this day, Mac and I took the flight to Palawan, despite of the typhoon signal. I have booked it a long time ago and we just took the risk of spending the time here. Our underground river permit got rejected so we just expected to have some island hopping with explorations around the city. Unfortunately only 900 people are allowed to tour the river a day.

My impression with Puerto Princesa is like this: it's a city surrounded with beaches and lush green scenery. It is a bit expensive and very touristy, it has their own disciplined laws in regards of cleanliness and protecting their environment. Maybe because of the gloomy weather that we don't feel that extremely happy compare to while we were in Cebu, we were just one level below satisfaction.

The things that we enjoyed the most is staying in  Purple Fountain Bed and Breakfast, just 5 mins. driver from the airport.

I find it joyful visiting Baker's Hill because of the delicacies that I can smell upon entering, it's a place full of funny statues which is good for family. We just spent 15 mins. here, I would rate it 3 out of 5. It's joyful but didn't really amazed me.

Errr... I'm not really a fan of crocodiles... Now if we're talking about food, I strongly recommend eating at Inato! Food is good and  worthy with its price. It's just a couple of blocks away from our B&B. Lovely ambiance it is! Day 4 Unfortunately, our island hopping got cancelled as well. Fuck the weather! The waves are huge and it's not sailable at all! Instead, we went to the nearby beach, the Pristine Beach. Too bad it's the low tide season and so we spent the day walking around, having sunbathing and taking pictures.

Day 5

I am giving you a glimpse of our B&B, Purple Fountain who have gave us very good and very personal services! 

There I am, grew very fat for such a short time.

Before we proceed to the airport, we had a sumptuous dinner of liempos cooked in our very own home. 

Here's Tita Paz and Ate Bibing doing the grill!

Yum, isn't?
