Been carrying heavy watch since then? That you always care about not to bump into anything? We’re on the same road..
This year I decided to invest in a good sport watch that I could wear on any occasion. So you ask, what do I look for in a watch?
Okay. Here you go:
When we were kids, it was only a dream to be able to fly. But dreams can be turned into reality. We were able to fly at just the right age. Not too late.
Call me silly, but the feeling of doing something or being at some place for the first time, like flying for the first, makes me feel like I’m being executed! Perhaps, because of the many survival movies I’ve watched, like the latest movie Life of Pi where he was shipwrecked and his family wasn’t able to survive. Okay, I know, I’ll stop the nonsense but please, allow me to tell you our story.
While riding on a boat going to small lagoon, I silently spoke to Him above, “Lord, make this Palawan trip unforgettable.” It was just weird that I had to asked for it because Palawan obviously is no doubt a paradise. The islands, beaches, lagoons, people and food were so amazing you will forget your name instead. But why did I whispered those words? Even I don’t understand, but despite, God granted it immediately.
Small lagoon was our first island to visit in our Tour A Island Hopping in El Nido. We were so excited as we approach the small lagoon. I can say by the standing ovation. So, to feed our cravings for water, the boat men/ tour guide told us {specially those who doesn’t know how to swim and those who’s motto is to be sure than sorry} to wear the life vest and we will proceed. Well, in my humble opinion, there’s no need for me to wear it, but mom insisted. And I had to obey.
When we asked Kuya Ding (our tour guide) what’s the most beautiful island or lagoon at El Nido, he could barely say one in particular, since for him, each island or lagoon is different from each other and their beauty are all incomparable.
So I reword my question, “What is your favorite among all the island/lagoon at El Nido?” He stopped for a while, thinking. Then he bluntly told us, “Cadlao lagoon. You’ll understand when we get there.”
It was our 2nd day of Island hopping in El Nido, Palawan; new set of islands, new tour guide, new experience. Everyone’s really excited, me most especially. So we climbed up our boats, ready our cameras and chitchat with our newly meet foreign friends, while our boatmen drove us to the Island of Matinloc, our first stop.
After unlocking the mysteries at the island of Matinloc, Kuya Ding {tour guide} seemed to hear our roaring tummies. So we sailed to Talisay Island, where the buffet was served.
“Our boat is coming! Give way!”
As we jumped off the boat, the first thought in my mind was, “Hello, United Nation!”.
Cost would probably the usual question in mind when planning for a trip. That is why we made sure that before we arrived to Palawan for our 5 days- 5 nights Trip, everything was pre-planned including how much would it cost for our individual tours, lodging, transportation, food {of course} and souvenirs.
