again, this is a tour made possible by my school, DE LA SALLE- DASMA. and much of my tour are by my school. and in very school tour you have the people you love, hate and just don't to be with. . . your classmates.
naia 3 : not so good feeling to wait
I love to see the new terminal, it's more Asian architecture rather then a Philippine inspired airport (wounder who's the architech) it's a modern but not the state-of-the-art.
and also some thing happened, i was suppose to be on a flight at Cebu pacific. then, when i got to the airport, my locator went missing, that the code that finds your electronic ticket. so now i can't boared my flight and is got stuck to the next flight (another flight that has 'la salle' in it) which is one pm (and it was delayed... their was apparently no planes available) and being their for like 7 am, it feels kinds of a family Christmas party, you don't want to be their but you have to. being bored is one of the main thing i have to fight so me and my friends just to took a lot of pics.
welcome to palawan
arriving at palawan we were greeted by our tour guides. they gave us this seashell necklace or to my viewpoint, free thing to give anyone i said i will give souvenirs. we have a late lunch which was in a mangrove that had a pleasant view of the sea and they served well! ..... seafood duh!( well! ordinary seafood, sea cucumber is not good for a first day.)
the tour started with a trip to the crocodile farm or as i like to call were Gucci come from. we saw large crocodile that was bigger then me. they fossilize the bones and varnish the skin. we went to penal farm were good prisoners are sent to a large rice field and baker's hill,(I've never seen the tacky art work but the pastries good)
it has almost sunset and their are more things that we went that i can't think right now. after which, we check in the hotel. it was a modest hotel. but, what hotel would not have free toothbrush. i mean, the fundamental thing in the hotel is free toothbrush. i went to bed.
starfishes are ugly from the other side.
the second day , we went island hopping at honda bay. i hate the underwater world. when i see picture of corals i think it's creepy and disgusting and kind of weird. so in spite of this, i rented a snorkeling gear and went snorkeling in pandan island. pandan island is named because of the abundance of pandan trees. this is not the pandans the are for cooking or making desert. this are the pandas that make hats and bags and so on.
when we arrived some of my friends notice two starfish on the shore. they look cute so my friend pick it up and started taking picture. when he or she (he or she is not gay i just don't recall if it's a guy friend or a lady friend) flip the starfish it look ugly. it had wrinkly skin the the middle their was like suction like things that move like feet or some thing. i now hate starfish. well! not hate just disgusted.
diving into the coral reef you get to see diff rent kinds of fishes and sea creature. but, when i get in the middle of the coral reefs i some times feel warn like someone peed in that very spot. it so creepy i start to move a way. sea urchins are that one i always get away from or really want to stay away like I'm an old lady and i see a black person (what! its a Obama time now we can all laugh at racial slurs. besides I'm allowed I'm Asian.) and i don't want to get pee all over me ( the cure for sea urchin stings and a sexual arousal to some.)
another island we want to is snake island. their are no snake their but the island is shape like a snake( and beside what would a snake eat in that island. . . fat tourist. hahaha i hate my self. ohh! whatever) i drank buko and just hang out with my friend hya. we also went to starfish island because it's full of starfishes ( and as public message STARFISHES ARE UGLY)
i tried to copy my friend kuya jed who was sitting outside the boat the that the stabilizers and the boat meet (but I'm. . . husky so i don't know if doing it was the greatest achievement of my life but then here is a picture)
i only explain my action to me, god and the court.
one of the highlight of the trip was the st. paul underground river. it is now considered the number one in the short list. (personally, i voted for all of the candidates from the Philippines.)
but getting their was a disaster. i got, wet my camera was drench ( good thing pics are still good) and my mind and past-self thought it was a good day to wear shoes.
the moring was a little cloudy but the thought the weather was calm and i thought that the way to the river (even thought we are going by boat) would not get even my feet wet. some how i did not get the memo that advice student to wear sandals or flip flops when going to the underground river ( which i didn't because i did not attend the orientation and because no one texted me on the orientation . . . . i think I'm lonely. . . whatever) i just had a life altering experience. ohh well moving on.
when we got their. the pier has no way of crossing the boat with out getting wet( on the island hopping their was a long plank on out boat that can touch the pier or the sand beach.so then my shoes did not get wet because i was so smart to get in the very front of the boat. when we arrive on the shore, waves came pouring and the my shoes and short got wet. i got to the opening of the river and i got so frustrated that i just got barefoot.some of my classmate, professors and tour guide are persecuted me to having wore the shoes. so a reaction, I live and learn from my decision. weather big or small. I only explain my action to me, god and the court. SO, BACK OFF PLEASE ( with hug and kisses) and if you are who are affected by this statement. . . .Hi!
i don't know how to point a light
getting in the river was hard, you have to get a permit; find a boat; and wait for a boat to get us to the river it's self. when you are on the boat, the person in the front would have to point a light. i was sadly on the front and i don't know how to point a light. the cave was dark and their was the sound of bats and eerie thing that bump in the night. the cave/river was breathtaking. their are thing that look like dinosaurs, vegetables and the large cavern that has pieces that look like Mary Jesus and other religious figures they call it the chatheral. lastly, theirs the large passageway they call god's highway. it look so long and forever that i thought it won't end. and i felling some chtostorphobia.
what do i think
place is magical and yet it feel like time has been put on hold and all your cares and fears are put away in a small box. the land make you want to live ( i seriously want to retire their and just mellow for the rest of my life) the island will simple take you and never let you live. . . at least of course you have to leave because your vocation leave is due!!!
