Although lately there has been rumblings regarding the communist China to take over Taiwan (<i>by force</i>) estimated by year 2027, we took the liberty to fly out to Taiwan to appreciate our other neighboring country. Also, to fulfill a promise to my late father to bring my mother there as soon as possible. The time has come to fulfill that promise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So we booked a flight to Taipei via Cebu Pacific and catched the morning flight of 7:10 AM bound for Taoyuan airport. We arrived by 9:15AM without delay.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>DAY 1 - ARRIVAL AT TAOYUAN AIRPORT, NEW TAIPEI CITY ACCOMODATION AND XIMENDING AREA</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the tourist who visit Taiwan knew that there is an on going project by the Taiwan tourism department regarding a promo(?) which is called the <a href="https://5000.taiwan.net.tw/index_en.html">Luckyland</a>. We tried our luck for this so we signed up online before we saw the kiosk at the airport. Unfortunately, we didn't won. Then we exchanged our money at the machine just right outside the exit, bought our sim card with 5 days of unlimited data to install on my TP-Link wifi. After that, we proceeded to the food hall of the airport. We ate our morning snacks then we rushed to the train area to catch a ride going to Taipei. We took the purple line as it is the fastest train directly to the Taipei city center. The other line is a public train commuter with a lot of stations. The purple train line costs about 150NTD per person. Oh, we also bought our Easycards inside the train station to be used on other train lines after the purple line. The train ride going to Taipei Main Station took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the destination.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDzmvQuGztmR9jOm9vP3NyHIOnQ90JJq1WDQqX-UmF54nYhRk58La1HjTrMNtwptXzNieVxUWY1fluUN2_zLrvof5-6MP_61Dc_WZuzf9kX0zH-03WNMHs12UJFcVqjvA3Ehnb11oBtQPQCqF7yFWIA6oLhX_pYR97QuhLsSP5hmhaDcN6m63abAgcG48/s5120/IMG_20231109_093641.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Our accomodation is located at Zhengyi which is called the Walker Hotel. It is in the heart of New Taipei City so there are more stores and a lot of locals in the area. We even have a local cinema located at our street. Our check in time is 3:00PM and is the common time of check-in at Taipei. Other countries are 2:00PM. We settled down a bit for two hours then at 5:30PM we're bound for Ximending. We also decided to take the public bus; which is a first. We mostly take the train and a bit of taxi when we're overseas. Time to brave another adventure. But surprisingly, it's too easy to ride the bus in Taipei as compared to other countries. I am only using Google Maps throughout as we navigate online. Lucky for us, most of the information needed are all provided by Google maps already. So I never get to download any 3rd party applications.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrBHzr-Ih3WdUrvk5IPdJTSHgKdfW8ZiL_ObTLYKhvM2Vc1gqINA9wjF29jfGVoa2h3Ir52xbLNtFYtNE5k9aY0Oku18JDVS-2gIDT4mLd3KvVp6qOwKioj9hrzID_ZYzSBn4IN1cVAW1FWdvA1c1vO3j4Nr4PTVs3C8-lSw1wU9k1jDzQT_SOi18DKwA/s5120/IMG_20231109_175305.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It was the best destination on our whole trip to be honest. It was the most casual coldest weather I've experienced. This is where we decided to shop around than go to a night market such as Shilin night market. What we observed during our entire stay is that they were selling the same stuff; items, foods, clothing etc., even if you had to transfer on a different area. Since Tamsui is huge and is selling the same items, we walked around and bought our pasalubong here. Then we had our lunch there also before we set out for Chiang Kai Shek Memorial hall.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQZXme7N4TQ4V00QFBllFhFjI4Xm9wR2LklwYTj4qloqzb4t6hn2M0MeB9f12jiqE3ofq1W5veOyFMYVUs1qPgwWWdywd5Ui204u-e9owraNSSE-mG7L1ERBUK3IXXiLnagDzQ-pBJObuK_9ZJ_pDu1KqDxeOsmceFkw1S55IuDAzimkzSrXRlY7Vmyk/s5120/IMG_20231111_104128.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Here, you have to choose between the regular cabin or crystal cabin. We chose the crystal cabin as it provides a better angle of the whole scenery while inside the cable car. The floor of the crystal cabin is transparent unlike the regular cabin. Although, the regular cabin is faster in line. The crystal cabin might take you a while. I suggest you choose the crystal cabin going up, then regular cabin going down, or vice versa. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic4L6sJbvGoelIZ9BPiRs_Qhtcj6TXsZhrK3tj65meZq316aRqNZokJ0pLkWtoOap5AyC9PH1yKhi8wOqdRt7L10NL_TlyBEUwaFcMe08PANEunCx2-C0aeO4I_WAn_cIVksixnju9emEofqlaS2fz1SLY18Abn9XgpUJhStP9J84fUPg0q9uLb-eBxps/s3648/IMG_20231112_111335.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic4L6sJbvGoelIZ9BPiRs_Qhtcj6TXsZhrK3tj65meZq316aRqNZokJ0pLkWtoOap5AyC9PH1yKhi8wOqdRt7L10NL_TlyBEUwaFcMe08PANEunCx2-C0aeO4I_WAn_cIVksixnju9emEofqlaS2fz1SLY18Abn9XgpUJhStP9J84fUPg0q9uLb-eBxps/w300-h400/IMG_20231112_111335.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBq-COUkvcBIhpZ_hrFEOjUsNZGZKiaIyAsqffSDyPHewPh4vxC9a0F_mL_4OI2sz6T-YMy9c7F2ete2egLg0oitLJ3zdsGs9tIJjjMEdytDAu2SEz0SUfn1m6GFDBY8PK8hAjoahd2AVUX7Qm7_tgGStoYYIogjomyKzQImcTM1HR05Awbe6X5g0FciA/s3648/IMG_20231112_111336.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBq-COUkvcBIhpZ_hrFEOjUsNZGZKiaIyAsqffSDyPHewPh4vxC9a0F_mL_4OI2sz6T-YMy9c7F2ete2egLg0oitLJ3zdsGs9tIJjjMEdytDAu2SEz0SUfn1m6GFDBY8PK8hAjoahd2AVUX7Qm7_tgGStoYYIogjomyKzQImcTM1HR05Awbe6X5g0FciA/w300-h400/IMG_20231112_111336.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon reaching the last station, It was extremely cold.

We only had a soup there at a local shop, then decided to go back asap and proceed to Taipei 101. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjePIYy1H1Uujxk4hmG6llgv9OWEkhotN8uvumNTorydFkYXQ3M8RUc5EF85gclIPzi-ntUdH1TZjpb0GMWa1O534etkY-rh0vORW4sJqdUw-qcBzdygVY_PTyLvYdbw8CXa3MRZamHm8UUme0oqjYPAJYWLvbwKk5KBhtPJw4lrpEZkUIE1EwgQPOYNJc/s3648/IMG_20231112_130434.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjePIYy1H1Uujxk4hmG6llgv9OWEkhotN8uvumNTorydFkYXQ3M8RUc5EF85gclIPzi-ntUdH1TZjpb0GMWa1O534etkY-rh0vORW4sJqdUw-qcBzdygVY_PTyLvYdbw8CXa3MRZamHm8UUme0oqjYPAJYWLvbwKk5KBhtPJw4lrpEZkUIE1EwgQPOYNJc/w300-h400/IMG_20231112_130434.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbU9mIZnRursaJSz_B6_iT8AJHsJ8fxONbURGTysp85N8dL5KdceAg-Y27Uj76fFcb431MJdo5Hj7q_vtzO5S5MxhWtKR8qfL5ATdTbyvk9A82h-NoQ_qcuy2J6PfygQS1TI9UFyAT1fsFf-xjQbTchYXr7XI4zZz2V5lZuHqlKM8DZ8ZfeM_3dS6TiQk/s3648/IMG_20231112_130445.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbU9mIZnRursaJSz_B6_iT8AJHsJ8fxONbURGTysp85N8dL5KdceAg-Y27Uj76fFcb431MJdo5Hj7q_vtzO5S5MxhWtKR8qfL5ATdTbyvk9A82h-NoQ_qcuy2J6PfygQS1TI9UFyAT1fsFf-xjQbTchYXr7XI4zZz2V5lZuHqlKM8DZ8ZfeM_3dS6TiQk/w480-h640/IMG_20231112_130445.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg45TPtyiMK9BG-Qh-tqwKyeq5ERJmoq2pUn4JOVO7kV0E8pn30rL7XiP0c3xa6-hdzj2JsAyMTGDyw3_DGlinVFRuGPLJFvckuH8TDsTrlvnrsFrzW_O1bqa4f2uTQyaGCwxpqiZFWnBl1QV4pT-Gp3fTWMfndHJLUxiM7KbAj-dCtjJSZHglNK304OAg/s3648/IMG_20231112_130620.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg45TPtyiMK9BG-Qh-tqwKyeq5ERJmoq2pUn4JOVO7kV0E8pn30rL7XiP0c3xa6-hdzj2JsAyMTGDyw3_DGlinVFRuGPLJFvckuH8TDsTrlvnrsFrzW_O1bqa4f2uTQyaGCwxpqiZFWnBl1QV4pT-Gp3fTWMfndHJLUxiM7KbAj-dCtjJSZHglNK304OAg/w300-h400/IMG_20231112_130620.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5md0Mm_nVHPWpmbB_bai3m_lZIJsLfeKJGGZeQA6uZj4Sumu1cvqXvuREw8bfm46q6NC5J6GRZbh5un3OYaUGJIK8srZ_ntRvtPvUVAYrrVTOJEOUwpcmMGiVMag9XqO7GzbF0UCFYwEbGoZ-hoqs_mZTUrBN1SAVorFtscTQrHWUvFrSoIxC80KZFrw/s3648/IMG_20231112_130632.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5md0Mm_nVHPWpmbB_bai3m_lZIJsLfeKJGGZeQA6uZj4Sumu1cvqXvuREw8bfm46q6NC5J6GRZbh5un3OYaUGJIK8srZ_ntRvtPvUVAYrrVTOJEOUwpcmMGiVMag9XqO7GzbF0UCFYwEbGoZ-hoqs_mZTUrBN1SAVorFtscTQrHWUvFrSoIxC80KZFrw/w480-h640/IMG_20231112_130632.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From Maokong gondola station brown line, we returned to the red line Da'an station, then off to Taipei 101 station. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was still raining upon reaching Taipei 101 station.

I should know since I've been a frequent visitor of Baguio for several years. Yet, this long winding road paired with great skilled driving of the bus driver of <a href="https://bustickets.ph/joy-bus-manila-to-baler-bus/">JoyBus Premiere</a>, makes it more interesting though. We came in a time where its rainy season and I say that it's been burdensome. </div><div><br /></div><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We departed from Cubao around 2:00 AM in the morning, arrived Baler around 8:00 AM. Upon disembarking, we opted to find a local eatery for breakfast. Luckily, Google Maps found us a Tapsilog place called Ram's Tapsilog. After which, we're picked up by KCs cousin's husband to spend a little bit of time to bond a bit and visit her kids. We requested them if we can borrow a motorcycle that'll be our official ride going around Baler's famous tourist spots. So for those who are asking how we managed to roam round the area, yes, I drove a motorcycle similar how Siargao works. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGR62N9H1UpSjjmTyEP5Xiqc8renejHqLm0gXl0GiITuLezSDmE11fBVCB4lYKth9KJyc1ChY9Cfh7V5ZCkwi5m5XL-trVYLXCYMiv8tYeFFCLxYK_e8GOVo2L7Q9FoDhsTed_Rmy4mu2DY990_4jT8AbB0HDvUc1INl6LC3-piLsLodZKZB89HR1Xi3s/s3648/IMG_20230713_013706.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGR62N9H1UpSjjmTyEP5Xiqc8renejHqLm0gXl0GiITuLezSDmE11fBVCB4lYKth9KJyc1ChY9Cfh7V5ZCkwi5m5XL-trVYLXCYMiv8tYeFFCLxYK_e8GOVo2L7Q9FoDhsTed_Rmy4mu2DY990_4jT8AbB0HDvUc1INl6LC3-piLsLodZKZB89HR1Xi3s/s320/IMG_20230713_013706.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ31P_qDpLikrkjCXQr6UQwzff0HAs3ePzS7p9cBfCmB5o6JxkZ15bxf_sJflgskCQvnLKzJDqtBi2zDNTyKC7DFa2di7K5xKrMBNOkwj6BHJfpQpHqaP9c91FQeL0yYDf8k_H-edjq5BGuWMt3DBMNhBp1WV48TGB9n97_RYMGf2i0tPVb4R_i7EBW38/s5632/IMG_20230713_081111.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4224" data-original-width="5632" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ31P_qDpLikrkjCXQr6UQwzff0HAs3ePzS7p9cBfCmB5o6JxkZ15bxf_sJflgskCQvnLKzJDqtBi2zDNTyKC7DFa2di7K5xKrMBNOkwj6BHJfpQpHqaP9c91FQeL0yYDf8k_H-edjq5BGuWMt3DBMNhBp1WV48TGB9n97_RYMGf2i0tPVb4R_i7EBW38/w400-h300/IMG_20230713_081111.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>After a short time with ate Lea, kuya Howie and the kids, we're set to check in at <a href="https://cube-baler.business.site/">The Cube</a> at Baler.

So the rain started to dwindle down a bit. And we just encountered a problem. We had trouble booking us a bus going back to Manila. So we decided to get off of our hotel to go to the bus station around 6:00AM to book us an afternoon bus ride going home. Fortunately, we ended up booking the same JoyBus premiere departing at 1:00PM. After which, off we go to the local market to buy pasalubong and grab some breakfast. We returned the motorcycle we borrowed with kuya and ate, then we just took a tricycle to go to the bus terminal. </div><div><br /></div><div>Baler is such an amazing place. It was so alluring and inviting to the point that we can't wait to go back there and see other spots. Also, I'm tempted to bring my own motorcycle, but - who knows right? </div><div><br /></div><div>You can watch my mini reel of our Baler trip <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O66QVOd8BGk">here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>###</div><div><br /></div></div>Blightfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13569298292045033609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874074100518889896.post-91619537419856486382023-01-12T05:53:00.003-08:002023-01-12T23:42:37.750-08:00Post Pandemic Trip: Back To Bangkok, Thailand<div style="text-align: justify;">I wanted this blog to be short and concise.

I don't know though, probably because we promised to get back to the country ASAP. And since pandemic stopped the world for two years, it became a reality. And Thailand so far is the first Asian country to open it's borders to everyone, making it an attractive destination.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, here we go.

Now, we altered our flight back to Manila from 3:00AM departure to 11:30AM. So we got ourselves some time to sleep and prepare for our flight back to Manila at December 16.

Then we just detoured around Siam Discovery to reach the famous walk crossing to MBK Center. As we entered MBK, I finally saw the factory outlet of shoes which is the Superstore. We bought a pair of shoes then we shopped around the ground floor of MBK center as it showcases a lot of cheap items such as clothes and accessories. Were just killing time because our check in time to our accommodation is 2:00PM. As soon as we reached 1:30PM, we checked Grab App so we could go there faster. But seems like there's a demand in hailing their services, we immediately switched to BOLT app. There, we managed to book a car going to Sukhumvit area, then reached our accommodation a bit late of 10 minutes. But way convenient since we still have our luggage with us. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBFs93hzskrRwgjT377lOzPUq6Y-VHJhybD5FvbePjQbARU7ndYQf6R4J8o1jMayMwjAinCARvHcou3b35OelFeWRMmg6pW7Lq6LREoero6s2oqpsWypDVIaEydGKskF2Sm7e9VNlodgdZEyZOWUq7l8s96yZ-7DZS_AyR_ntbnnkWC8CXqBOvJESG/s5120/IMG_20221212_130816.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="3840" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBFs93hzskrRwgjT377lOzPUq6Y-VHJhybD5FvbePjQbARU7ndYQf6R4J8o1jMayMwjAinCARvHcou3b35OelFeWRMmg6pW7Lq6LREoero6s2oqpsWypDVIaEydGKskF2Sm7e9VNlodgdZEyZOWUq7l8s96yZ-7DZS_AyR_ntbnnkWC8CXqBOvJESG/w300-h400/IMG_20221212_130816.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzcAN5y5sS0iwwCBKa3-1FbitZFPcT2yx6cpTX0G7PO0FSY7-G3XperbXahLh_Ies3z82DYZ7zWP_v2fHdXqCf5gOPKtR8edqivdX-C1NxalAD26oU04D0U2QQBd1co1fSxhagZoGMWB4cvJMfsmezcJn4LzpyfWGNwc-NlgoRyCEB_lH5EfduG1Z/s5120/IMG_20221212_131942.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3840" data-original-width="5120" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzcAN5y5sS0iwwCBKa3-1FbitZFPcT2yx6cpTX0G7PO0FSY7-G3XperbXahLh_Ies3z82DYZ7zWP_v2fHdXqCf5gOPKtR8edqivdX-C1NxalAD26oU04D0U2QQBd1co1fSxhagZoGMWB4cvJMfsmezcJn4LzpyfWGNwc-NlgoRyCEB_lH5EfduG1Z/w400-h300/IMG_20221212_131942.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon check in, we rested a bit, bought ourselves lunch at the nearby 711 just outside our place.

It was all smooth until we get to rent ourselves a golf cart that we can use to roam around the ancient city as it was huge.

It was originally planned to go to IconSiam if not for the Lazada 12.12 event. So we opted to go there right after our tour of the ancient city. So we took a chance at a nearby taxi whose waiting, told us that we can book him until Kheha BTS Station at 100THB. I think that's a good deal considering we can actually use the Songtaew or their version of the jeepneys, but using pickup trucks with a cage like appearance. So we booked him until Kheha BTS station, took us like 30 minutes to reach it, then we booked ourselves a ticket going BTS Siam station, and interchange to BTS 2, going Saphan Taksin station. It took us almost 40 minutes to go to Sathorn Pier. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At Sathorn pier, we took the free shuttle to IconSiam (Thanks my vlogger friends from Thailand!) and after 15 minutes we arrived in IconSiam. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8YDq1bXxMB4kJd9EijWD1ODvf2-SY0QQJ8qxiUv84JteljYx6Lb_s7gzk6XzBwI0KgoaMtAVctmBg8iSoOEsYUHFaAsfZ3qFX4FYRuc3ioVt_vwPdI2pRLwj67oGw5ed8Ry2ejHIy0ulGlSs9lvgrSQ1Ol5pwUg85fDNjUHq_oHzYvcx5HPU8krPr/s5120/IMG_20221213_191618.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3840" data-original-width="5120" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8YDq1bXxMB4kJd9EijWD1ODvf2-SY0QQJ8qxiUv84JteljYx6Lb_s7gzk6XzBwI0KgoaMtAVctmBg8iSoOEsYUHFaAsfZ3qFX4FYRuc3ioVt_vwPdI2pRLwj67oGw5ed8Ry2ejHIy0ulGlSs9lvgrSQ1Ol5pwUg85fDNjUHq_oHzYvcx5HPU8krPr/w400-h300/IMG_20221213_191618.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyMFr8Gthgt35j3bjEMCjor5M83Ub-ttIq3QyvphN_uNUuqBUWCcZZDCyoBwnwxqlL3aL2pX82ejgYjApsUgLN7bRkk_UmRqwI2MWqvhGCLuXtPSynTzlah9GdxkML8wQmWn2BDwIDqNyPXa5IBYjfQSaXJ7RimPycGEDBdbAgsEEhlGVOjESuB_qz/s3648/IMG_20221213_192427.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2736" data-original-width="3648" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyMFr8Gthgt35j3bjEMCjor5M83Ub-ttIq3QyvphN_uNUuqBUWCcZZDCyoBwnwxqlL3aL2pX82ejgYjApsUgLN7bRkk_UmRqwI2MWqvhGCLuXtPSynTzlah9GdxkML8wQmWn2BDwIDqNyPXa5IBYjfQSaXJ7RimPycGEDBdbAgsEEhlGVOjESuB_qz/w400-h300/IMG_20221213_192427.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We decided to get our dinner inside Sook Siam, and inside Sook Siam, we saw the Japanese restaurants inside Siam Takashimaya, and we just ordered there.

Never got the chance to take pictures or vlog at least because I can't think of creative ways to show the places we've been to. Very similar to what our 168 Mall is the platinum fashion mall but very affordable price.

So what we did going to Chinatown is we took a BTS train to Asok station (just a station away from ours), then interchanged to MRT (their subway), and purchased tickets going to Wat Mangkon station. We opted for Wat Mangkon station versus Hua Lamphong station since it's near the golden arc of Chinatown. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon arrival at Wat Mangkon station, we walked over Plaeng Nam road, then saw a Thai massage service along the way, assessed the price, then finally decided to go for a 45 minute foot massage that rejuvenated us from walking.

I almost shed a tear as we hopped on the plane back to Manila. I sincerely felt that I left a part of my soul in Thailand up until I was writing this. I literally fell in love with the country as a whole, and realized that it might be a prelude wo my dream destination which is Japan. Thailand is mostly influenced by Japanese culture and you can actually hear, feel, see why. They have plenty of Japanese restaurant there especially at our street. And they actually have this OTAKU mentality. I realized it late since we got back home. They are passionate, forgiving, calm and steady. Probably their Buddhism might be a bit similar to Japanese' Shintoism. But, who knows right? Until now, I still wonder of the vloggers, articles related to Thailand. Even their slight changes in entry rules posted in January 9 which they eventually retracted. I really love Thailand. Its truly amazing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My home away from home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can watch my Thailand 2022 vlog here</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://youtu.be/6dTL1FPExWs" target="_blank">Day 1</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://youtu.be/daWBIiudIVI" target="_blank">Day 2</a> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://youtu.be/i_lVQAhHnzA" target="_blank">Day 3</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">###</div>Blightfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13569298292045033609noreply@blogger.com0Bangkok, Thailand13.7563309 100.5017651-14.553902936178845 65.3455151 42.066564736178847 135.6580151tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874074100518889896.post-21679981653924916442021-05-21T00:16:00.007-07:002021-05-21T19:47:25.208-07:00Spontaneous Trip to Bangkok Thailand<div style="text-align: justify;">2019 has been nice to me. That year gave me another reason to smile, and gave me an important boost spiritually. I've been fighting depression (not clinically diagnosed) for the past couple of months and having to travel again on a far away land made me feel loved all over again. Not to mention that I traveled once again with my mom for this spontaneous trip, both of us benefited on this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why call it spontaneous? Yes, it's not planned for a year, but it was planned just two (2) months. We were able to book a cheap flight via Cebu Pacific Air going to Bangkok last August 2019. This is the first time we're doing this because we're mostly fond of planning a year ahead. Especially on an international trip, which is risky. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the record, Bangkok, or Thailand itself was never in my bucket list. I never wanted to go there, because I know upon research that it was quite similar to Manila. Scams are rampant, some people saying that the locals are very similar to Filipinos. Neither of this I cannot tell as of the moment during pre-planning, because at the back of my head one thing that I kept reminding myself that we should not be scammed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpWbMEWgXJzm2cR36-jkNQNbRqJYh-e8yQOMhLOhbWvSbqQsVTuNf74gS_uk5trF0ZiLJ5c-BHWhmTfZkr1Nr0JO8iBHdhDQQh7gZowL8IU2AyuQk3ySLBb7Csu1wslbsLfdW1POIrO8/s1206/thailand+map.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Map of Thailand and neighboring countries" border="0" data-original-height="1206" data-original-width="822" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpWbMEWgXJzm2cR36-jkNQNbRqJYh-e8yQOMhLOhbWvSbqQsVTuNf74gS_uk5trF0ZiLJ5c-BHWhmTfZkr1Nr0JO8iBHdhDQQh7gZowL8IU2AyuQk3ySLBb7Csu1wslbsLfdW1POIrO8/w436-h640/thailand+map.jpg" title="Map of Thailand and neighboring countries" width="436" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Map of Thailand and neighboring countries</i></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Keeping my hopes high, I remain optimistic. Since this is my second time going abroad, it's more of excitement than being nervous. We researched everything what we should be doing in Bangkok, and added Ayutthaya as a whole day tour. The rest of the days is just more of immersion, spending time with the locals and just appreciating what their culture and country has to offer.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Our departure from Manila going Bangkok is at 7:30 in the morning (PH time). We arrived in Bangkok at 10:15AM with approximately 3H + air time. Upon arrival at the famous Suvarnabhumi airport, I am surprised by the cleanliness of the place. It was outstanding for something we kept on comparing to Manila, as it was huge and spacious. The toilets are awesome clean too, and everything was organized and detailed. This is the first time that I actually get to encounter pure-blooded Thai locals (works for the airport) and I was already astounded by female local beauty.

I was also amazed by how their immigration system works, they don't need to ask you a question and they're just going to look at you and do the biometrics. I was scared that time since the immigration officer that'll do the checking for me was doing something more than just check my passport. He's cutting papers and he was not even trying to look at me! I was so scared that time he might not grant me entry inside Thailand. It took me like 6-7 minutes (usually 4-5 minutes per person as per observation) and finally I got my stamp.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, there comes culture shock. It was a bad habit of mine. Since I was the one who planned mostly of the trip, I never had a thorough research about how to exit the airport except I know that the airport rail link is located downstairs. When we were at the conveyor belt area for baggage claim, we had an argument where to go next. I was forced to ask the information desk since I'm scared at first they might not receive me very well. Mistakenly, they're good at conversation! It was far-fetched from the other reviews/vloggers saying that the locals are not that good in English. Believe me, THEY'RE GOOD AT IT.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFI5soxsHb85181_P8dCsLwCnVUvi-1FlZZjy1li1Bc5kt3HXDkIPnYd7x4onkyDWMIcUD7CqieUg6fnIBiGRpOe52Gz1as67TZW79H6KtFD77exRlRPCcU9p8CtQd-bap7vxPs2liiBk/s2048/IMG_20191128_115936.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFI5soxsHb85181_P8dCsLwCnVUvi-1FlZZjy1li1Bc5kt3HXDkIPnYd7x4onkyDWMIcUD7CqieUg6fnIBiGRpOe52Gz1as67TZW79H6KtFD77exRlRPCcU9p8CtQd-bap7vxPs2liiBk/w300-h400/IMG_20191128_115936.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>AIRPORT RAIL LINK @ Airport</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">We exit at gate B and head downstairs via the escalator near the arrival area. Airport rail link is situated at the basement one floor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh I forgot!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We also <a href=" https://www.kkday.com/" target="_blank">rent a Wi-Fi device from KKDAY</a> throughout our stay. The kiosk of KKDAY is located at the front of airport rail link station so we first go there to fetch our Wi-Fi. After that, we proceeded at the ticket station of airport rail link. Sadly, I forgot the cost of our ride (I didn't take notes of the train rides during our entire stay I'm sorry) but I do remember that it is quite pricey for my preference. But it is the best transportation we could afford.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our point of destination from the airport rail link is at Phaya Tai station which is the last stop.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglUS_ixtyhDrW_vW7e-2Y0Cr1dQDtKcFuKOAL5loL4Z0kiqhNR1qNmkQ0wBKsoLu6xihJElol4zHnFMmk6bqMPpZ5vMk0MBydaacZovwOPyU28_zptzpeN65DHAU1uFUXX0JNNHCOA_dw/s2048/IMG_20191128_122730.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglUS_ixtyhDrW_vW7e-2Y0Cr1dQDtKcFuKOAL5loL4Z0kiqhNR1qNmkQ0wBKsoLu6xihJElol4zHnFMmk6bqMPpZ5vMk0MBydaacZovwOPyU28_zptzpeN65DHAU1uFUXX0JNNHCOA_dw/w300-h400/IMG_20191128_122730.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGOqwkInvQO3CtEVGPr47S9kHaYnJdX-c6MOA0e_Wdlh_5TxzmSSYfFmmsIT7Dqszh0aSh-Mk07VdmmsS4PQAmDkPhUc_KrvAdFabfcX7ayh4ldZBd-HWIfB37LHe94gP_nhdMuHDD4ZQ/s2048/IMG_20191128_185215.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGOqwkInvQO3CtEVGPr47S9kHaYnJdX-c6MOA0e_Wdlh_5TxzmSSYfFmmsIT7Dqszh0aSh-Mk07VdmmsS4PQAmDkPhUc_KrvAdFabfcX7ayh4ldZBd-HWIfB37LHe94gP_nhdMuHDD4ZQ/w320-h240/IMG_20191128_185215.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>ARRIVAL AT BANGKOK CENTRAL @Phaya Tai station</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">When we got off from the airport rail link train, we decided to go to the nearest mall where we can grab our lunch. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to really explore Phaya Tai from that point because we have luggage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We decided to just go to victory mall as it is the next stop from Phaya Tai via BTS Skytrain train. It is a different train line but it does connect airport rail link and BTS skytrain at Phaya Tai station. The signages are very clear you won't be confused by the directions. There we arrived at BTS Skytrain and bought tickets. Just a train stop away from Phaya Tai station we alight at Victory Monument station.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since this is the first time we've been to Bangkok City proper, everything is new to us. Our check in time is at 2:00 in the afternoon, so we decided to take our lunch at Victory Mall at the Victory Monument station. This is the formal arrival we have in the country so immersion is indeed a must. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We all know that Thai food is being promoted in the Philippines as they served plenty of rice and spicy food, but we had an unexpected surprise that time. We decided to dine at KFC inside Victory mall. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The shock is literally a shock, as we we're going to order, there was no rice available. It's not out of stock. They just don't serve rice. I mean, what? LOL</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So we just took three orders of single piece of chicken and paired with Coke and Mashed potato. That's enough to suffice out hunger for the next hour of expected "finding our accommodation" trip.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>BTS SKYWAY EN ROUTE TO PHROM PONG STATION AND ARRIVAL AT PARK 24 ORIGINS</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After a short rest and lunch, it's now time to board the BTS Skytrain once again and now try to alight at Phrom Pong Station located in Sukhumvit area. But before that, of course we tried to take a peek at the stores inside Victory mall.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We bought our train tickets and ready to depart. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On our way to Phrom Pong Station, we are amazed with what we experienced and saw inside the train. We're casually speaking in Tagalog yet there were no eyes rolling. They're literally accept us speaking casually. Although not so loud, but we did talk in Tagalog without cold eyes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We saw different malls as we approached every station. There was the Siam Paragon mall in Siam station, Terminal 21 in Asok station. Then the Emporium at Phrom Pong which happened to be our stop. It's amazing how these malls occupied two blocks of the street as they were HUGE compared to what we have in the Philippines (e.g., Ayala station - SM Makati in the south bound part but there was no SM mall in the north bound part) so yeah, it was humongous. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We got off Phrom Pong station, and followed signages which lead us to the Emporium Mall's department store. From there, we took a 10 minute walk in Sukhumvit 24 road until we reached Park 24 Origins.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We got our <a href="https://www.airbnb.com" target="_blank">accommodation via AIRBNB</a> and they promote affordable packages for your travel needs. We have paid everything in advance back in the Philippines before we fly out to Thailand. The owner of the unit emailed us detailed instructions to how we're going to pickup our keys. This is not your typical hotel style accommodation as this is an apartment style accommodation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As soon as we entered our unit, it was perfect. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>FIRST DINNER AT TERMINAL 21 MALL</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After we settled down a bit in our unit, it's time to grab our first dinner in Thailand. What way to cool down someone's excitement is to rush over the place we first planned on going. <a href="https://www.terminal21.co.th/asok/" target="_blank">Terminal 21</a> mall. It's our main landmark of everything; near our place, the middle ground of transportation, middle of food crawls, shopping etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I personally grabbed an authentic Hainanese chicken to serve as my dinner. KC had a Tom Yum noodles whom she said was good, and Mama had Pad Thai noodles. After eating, we spent rest of our stay to roam around the mall. They have several floors, and each floor represents a different country theme. Surprisingly, most items doesn't cost much. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We then head back Park 24 to prepare for tomorrow's tour.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZoDpAfDxaJfm_Ord-wHrvtd6t9a0BGKHcjhP7iGsgy_1IVfeMBj_bys6dUakYbJdAjbQ-xx68DkVBqdlFD2fku2PLj1niq_kDZtCzPDNdwfiyjex91jWCF3YR7AplVwh5V5AWVB-hpc/s2048/IMG_20191128_190051.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZoDpAfDxaJfm_Ord-wHrvtd6t9a0BGKHcjhP7iGsgy_1IVfeMBj_bys6dUakYbJdAjbQ-xx68DkVBqdlFD2fku2PLj1niq_kDZtCzPDNdwfiyjex91jWCF3YR7AplVwh5V5AWVB-hpc/w240-h320/IMG_20191128_190051.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQ7wFcdCHSSGXtPdJA2GmR1-xzGbFwwgQUqa-0f89j-_40O-M-oel54fhyPo-mgZ43C6UvWZ_PhCFWBaFBsufy268XLPaMZDxXsZDdmyXFqA5yYeTflAH1nzz1F8qm4ZO8xnCfYqS3ek/s2048/IMG_20191128_191534.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQ7wFcdCHSSGXtPdJA2GmR1-xzGbFwwgQUqa-0f89j-_40O-M-oel54fhyPo-mgZ43C6UvWZ_PhCFWBaFBsufy268XLPaMZDxXsZDdmyXFqA5yYeTflAH1nzz1F8qm4ZO8xnCfYqS3ek/w300-h400/IMG_20191128_191534.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETKQHRFSb_z6zOajpFhop1pNaN0iXI-cJlz9c4oF8zDIBd4PYnCFrnF90OSRI_eZBI40rtJO8EuZvrdmHF5uXFU6USZzIvle3u1Xo5PsL_4qLt7T9033B-VMyyY9_ZzKjeugFxyFyyGg/s2048/IMG_20191128_192328.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETKQHRFSb_z6zOajpFhop1pNaN0iXI-cJlz9c4oF8zDIBd4PYnCFrnF90OSRI_eZBI40rtJO8EuZvrdmHF5uXFU6USZzIvle3u1Xo5PsL_4qLt7T9033B-VMyyY9_ZzKjeugFxyFyyGg/s320/IMG_20191128_192328.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioPQ1Wr-oc1CX2xl6GxXgOBszEkoFTiWQHHpsSSpKaKXzn3Rw1MabacS7X1A-2g33mAInw6cFpfPZJG-3GiaXaRBJHptDU9CoWbZkinoVaWHEIY9nNgyyEWT4dXaP6LIXGF7ZgO01FaTo/s2048/IMG_20191128_194126.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioPQ1Wr-oc1CX2xl6GxXgOBszEkoFTiWQHHpsSSpKaKXzn3Rw1MabacS7X1A-2g33mAInw6cFpfPZJG-3GiaXaRBJHptDU9CoWbZkinoVaWHEIY9nNgyyEWT4dXaP6LIXGF7ZgO01FaTo/w400-h300/IMG_20191128_194126.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS9r3V6f5uEc3-Vl5yUXpW9ZJ1As9x1ElYV4pezXPWBGKrTqDerQky_UeUj6DYgLfpFFmzgE4ScgNhrInfQpYM0F0IPmdH5OXMPtO03xyJ9ees7M5cP9NBIdqN0CBi2KHWDJq_E-xJJyw/s2048/IMG_20191128_202212.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS9r3V6f5uEc3-Vl5yUXpW9ZJ1As9x1ElYV4pezXPWBGKrTqDerQky_UeUj6DYgLfpFFmzgE4ScgNhrInfQpYM0F0IPmdH5OXMPtO03xyJ9ees7M5cP9NBIdqN0CBi2KHWDJq_E-xJJyw/w300-h400/IMG_20191128_202212.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>AYUTTHAYA TOUR VIA KLOOK</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here's the whole day tour by <a href="https://www.klook.com/" target="_blank">Klook</a> to Ayutthaya!

It was called summer palace formerly used by Thai Kings. We arrived around 9:15AM, and the sun was already scorching hot. I remember going down the bus to find a toilet since I've been doing that since forever. We also found some useful shops that sells Thailand stuff such as Sarongs and souvenirs. They got great discounts too, same as what Manila offers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a humongous place, only then you can scrape out most of the palaces if you happen to drive a golf cart. What we did is we decided to rent a golf cart for 300 Thai baht. It's reasonable for me as the place was just big. But we're time restricted for an hour and we rented the cart for an hour too. But since there were several tourists, there was traffic. Everything is Instagram worthy, so I took most shots for KC and we just enjoyed driving while under the sun. Oh, and it's the first time I drove a right handed vehicle. And they asked for my driver's license too. They never allow underaged drivers and should be a drivers license holder. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimi_QWtrCaPEv2DqBHTQt_niyhr40V_yzr0GCKRGI1iFWvG2QadlT9DczYXgp1j_kFSrsrmRwH2ZWc-XlgAEf7bWwkoD3hOJm6iYXSymtoeYWwk2FyVB3IN7qgKP_05L66GCI5ZOnfsI0/s2048/IMG_20191129_091422.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The funny thing here is, before we got off the bus, the coordinator told us some useful Thai phrases that might help us order the food. What I can actually remember is "<i>Mai Ped</i>" which means not spicy. Since Thai foods are known to be extremely spicy, there's a need to like heads up the restaurant people. And that's what I did. I told the waiter "<i>Mai Ped</i>" and ordered I forgot the name. LOL. Anyway. he served mine and still it was that spicy. But it's delicious though. I'm just not used to eating spicy food.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilkwVaQ-WsA2zbsW563y_zgTCAPOObAI53S0WcRONABobXzhJzhiUaDjiqkkytObzjV8SDGFrCcWUkHsfjQ-Uh22yL19bKbupJmmrdjz-hVSxtrUL5UHSS87sjbd4xizPisbgEKzAnHWI/s2048/IMG_20191129_114401.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilkwVaQ-WsA2zbsW563y_zgTCAPOObAI53S0WcRONABobXzhJzhiUaDjiqkkytObzjV8SDGFrCcWUkHsfjQ-Uh22yL19bKbupJmmrdjz-hVSxtrUL5UHSS87sjbd4xizPisbgEKzAnHWI/w400-h300/IMG_20191129_114401.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiago6MauS-HeW6WB2hp5pKtdtWalAAOzB4U_-w45kNa7ZHk-R9B1qIhE6kTjZ2yr4yYjYP0BZJN8NU2CMfFXZJ4Bpoi_Zl0pczstsgTasN0CYy8imOLWRkOqfFsXd7o8ZgtG0-KCraGvI/s2048/IMG_20191129_120452.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiago6MauS-HeW6WB2hp5pKtdtWalAAOzB4U_-w45kNa7ZHk-R9B1qIhE6kTjZ2yr4yYjYP0BZJN8NU2CMfFXZJ4Bpoi_Zl0pczstsgTasN0CYy8imOLWRkOqfFsXd7o8ZgtG0-KCraGvI/w400-h300/IMG_20191129_120452.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">VISIT TO SEVERAL TEMPLES, ELEPHANT VILLAGE AND THE SUNSET BOAT RIDE</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh sorry, we first got to elephant village pala I just double checked with mama rofl and it's great! During our pre-planning to go to Thailand, we actually agreed on one thing; not to ride on elephants. For us, it's like animal cruelty. Well, it's us naman. For me, it was the second best destination we've been in our Ayutthaya tour. They had a lot to offer there, they have street foods, they got the famous floating market, lots of souvenir shops where you can buy quality silk clothes and the like. It's fun! We actually had fun there as we're not that familiar when it comes to shopping in the country yet. So this is a great start for us. We get to know how to ask for discounts and pick the best food. And we get to see the elephants up close and personal. We just never rode it. Both KC and Mama just bought a lot of souvenirs there since we're not planning to go to night markets during our stay... yet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGE-hks6NJBddrOP9hzTzoWYxfhqO3l5aparFT4VAE5HzbTctXD_ykoPncSRPS0Ni5dV3x66P8Q9RGPFjYFki8Rf0LVtSQIr5f44lpFVEo4Xvc16Wj0oQ_eWJBiDWicstqHuX7iWffEws/s2048/IMG_20191129_125111.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGE-hks6NJBddrOP9hzTzoWYxfhqO3l5aparFT4VAE5HzbTctXD_ykoPncSRPS0Ni5dV3x66P8Q9RGPFjYFki8Rf0LVtSQIr5f44lpFVEo4Xvc16Wj0oQ_eWJBiDWicstqHuX7iWffEws/w400-h300/IMG_20191129_125111.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbEkGikHtLFs4bDPnwd-uQzTqbyffPwXMuexJnGiGJINasokQ3xMLg-1HDOGboyzZ9ujnuvhHQbfj5f3UiMHUYahldcy1qXCq666ukrbGzVXnyHYNWfr0W-2eEegQCawNHPomwr5GLNc/s2048/IMG_20191129_125558.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbEkGikHtLFs4bDPnwd-uQzTqbyffPwXMuexJnGiGJINasokQ3xMLg-1HDOGboyzZ9ujnuvhHQbfj5f3UiMHUYahldcy1qXCq666ukrbGzVXnyHYNWfr0W-2eEegQCawNHPomwr5GLNc/s320/IMG_20191129_125558.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyZu_PNUMi8HGWoe9jfjiwSU0FVXYUJ32b45gaKQOiz-Pp9_fPU-8TUpS-7t61D_dxdETuhya0GQfSJxhqlpVtr9iJrx5UhAVZGzLNF4yGlG583-C0j1_yoabv1YsAqqWTFQxh-_x1jiI/s2048/IMG_20191129_125629.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyZu_PNUMi8HGWoe9jfjiwSU0FVXYUJ32b45gaKQOiz-Pp9_fPU-8TUpS-7t61D_dxdETuhya0GQfSJxhqlpVtr9iJrx5UhAVZGzLNF4yGlG583-C0j1_yoabv1YsAqqWTFQxh-_x1jiI/s320/IMG_20191129_125629.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_cURuqjuQscjVuO2eLOPaCFsQtIyJAP2t4kvErxxxZfnNoG6Fb2MBdKZt0toJAu9oVaxVXYzg-UKOV5-ipG3qXW_S4ozE5uML3Eyotot2K7hOFdJX8YyiPjPP09pAofFNXjKPHY4szWI/s2048/IMG_20191129_125629_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_cURuqjuQscjVuO2eLOPaCFsQtIyJAP2t4kvErxxxZfnNoG6Fb2MBdKZt0toJAu9oVaxVXYzg-UKOV5-ipG3qXW_S4ozE5uML3Eyotot2K7hOFdJX8YyiPjPP09pAofFNXjKPHY4szWI/w300-h400/IMG_20191129_125629_1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After that we visited several temples which I cannot remember all their names.

<div style="text-align: justify;">The culminating activity and my personal favorite, the sunset boat ride. Not sure if it's connected in Chao Phraya river, but it's big and we get to ride for an hour! There were tons of Instagram worthy silhouettes during the ride, I managed to salvage just one photo and just enjoyed the ride as it was really relaxing.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the boat ride, we got off the boat in some sort of market where we had our merienda and tried some Thai street foods. We get to buy juice and a waffle like food that's immersed in Hershey's Choco syrup. I forgot the name! But it was delicious.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the end of the Klook Ayutthaya tour and we head back to Bangkok Victory monument mall for two hours. We decided to take a picture with Enju, our Korean friend we met during the tour, exchanged contacts and bid our farewells. We had dinner inside Victory mall before we head back and rode the BTS Skytrain again to Phrom Pong.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdmo1mIjqQhhpqOcdg3-UAfktTqK6qfwReTDdhL3p07FmZ4KspMQid_GpbEHHbecbpEogemL37CHyj4pT5dMHDTbihCfQG-hN48m-vpI6YAQsfiAm60RsSOkprje9wguahnvtiHbPuIYY/s2048/IMG_20191129_143151.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>WAT PHO AND CHATUCHAK MARKET</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next day, we planned for a DIY tour of <a href="https://ph.hotels.com/go/thailand/wat-pho" target="_blank">Wat Pho</a> and <a href="https://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/grand-palace" target="_blank">Grand Palace</a>. The route goes as this -- Phrom Pong BTS station to Asok BTS station, then cross to Sukhumvit station MRT going to Sanam Chai MRT station. From there, we will be walking to the nearest entrance of Wat Pho. Sanam Chai station is a big station and we got lost for a few minutes. We just realized that it was new when we get to walk going to the escalator.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As expected, there were a lot of <a href="https://onemoredestination.com/en/tuk-tuk-thailand/" target="_blank">Tuk-Tuk</a> outside the walls of Wat Pho as other bloggers stated. They were known to be notorious when it comes to transportation scams. We actually proved them wrong. I find our tricycle drivers more intimidating than them. When they were asking us to ride the Tuk-tuk, I happen to like say a firm "No" and they just got off our backs without hesitation. Meanwhile, ours is like... no comment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We found the back entrance (the nearest from the MRT station) of Wat Pho because we noticed a group of monks walking in an awkward direction. I told the two to like let's follow them. And eventually, we found the back entrance. We didn't have to walk far until the front entrance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once inside, we paid our ticket per individual it's around 100 baht per person. We took a couple of photos as we walk towards unique structures. It was scorching hot that day so it was kind of uncomfortable walking for too long. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>We were in the middle of something where we noticed a long line piling up. That's when we realized that the reclining Buddha is housed near we rested. We decided to enter the reclining Buddha but we have to remove our shoes and put it in a provided plastic bag. </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, and we actually saw a local giving away free water. And he's angry at Indians for some reason.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyEDTs6meglvbVuprVdF8fLiTsAAk6tcMaEUwZlt1xbl8bl_g4Dx7szTQsJPDtHDVmQiHYscAlUcPtBOdqBP3k5nLHT3XrWo0DMmPAFFwkEa0kxRCzsomH4tk2aFZFnsLtPP4vTYUE-JI/s2048/IMG_20191130_111322.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

After arriving in Phrom Pong Station, we bought dinner at McDonald's just below <a href="https://www.emquartier.co.th/en/" target="_blank">Emporium Mall</a> to serve as our dinner. Then we walked back to our accommodation. Our flight is around 3:00 AM the next day and the time we got back is around 10:00 PM. Mama slept for a bit while KC and I just fixed our things and planned how are we supposed to go back to Suvarnabhumi airport. I told them to just do the same and check out around 10:30 PM. As planned, I told them to do BTS Skytrain to Phaya Thai then cross to Airport Rail Link. The problem is, these trains operate only until 11:00 PM. So the time is kind of tight and Mama is still asleep. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then I remembered something. I once read that the GRAB app is connected globally. So I tried my GRAB app which I downloaded pa in our house sa Pinas. To my surprise, I mean shookt ako -- It technically traced me until Thailand! I tried to booking a GRAB Car to know how much from Park 24 to Suvarnabhumi airport, and again shookt nanaman ako, it's around 400 baht. Wow, super cheap! Actually, everything around in Bangkok is cheap to tell you honestly. Then that's the plan now. We'll just do GRAB Car to the airport so we won't be restricted by how tight the schedule is. International departure as a rule, always 3 hours before the flight. We let Mama sleep more until she wakes up around 11:30 PM, then instructed everyone to like checkout by 12 midnight. Then that's when we got back to the Philippines safely.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7-modxSSGueYmsAZgTw5OXLt4N1-J1BlbskquiH4BRxQbxTLJzrmz5oZsrtDOwZPNrE3WIi4_9VYyqzffOdUFwl8-VGHR3D4PyhmBL9KtNk08gfC1r6DEY0K4gTDarTTOES7Nl_owqhw/s2048/IMG_20191201_103002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

No need to convert in your mind, just remember that if the price is around 90 baht, think of it as 90 pesos. Kasi hindi talaga sya nagkakalayo. Magkalayo man, siguro 30 pesos difference lang. Hindi kasi sya ramdam unlike nung nag Singapore kami.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We decided to have a common fund. Since I'm with my Mom and girlfriend, we have like 1000 baht per head sa common fund. To our surprise, during the whole trip doon lang kami kumukuha. Basically, wala ako kinuha sa wallet ko and the last time I remembered na kumuha lang ako doon is yung pang Golf Cart rental namin sa Bang Pa-In palace. Second is yung kumain kami ng Chicken lollipop etc. sa isang mall sa Chatuchak market.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">711 is the go to shop sa everything. We bought most our breakfast and dinner sa 711 lang din lahat. Super kumpleto sya. Lahat din ng binili namin dito is from out common fund. And their Nissin Creamy Seafood is the bomb! Super sarap! Even their sandwiches, my gosh super sarap. And their serving is big. Oh, nakakita na rin pala kami dito ng Nissin Creamy Seafood sa Robinsons at Shopwise, ang layo ng lasa ng natikman namin sa Thailand. Promise super sarap.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our budget per head is Pxx,xxx ALL IN. It incudes airfare, transportation and kung ano ano pa. Wala naman show money upon entering Thailand so okay na okay na. To tell you honestly, super laki na ng Pxx,xxx per head para mabuhay ka sa Thailand. Ganun sya kasulit! And mind you, may common fund lang kami na 1k per head. Halos gastos namin dun lang kami kumuha. Mama and KC naglabas ng sarili nila since nagshopping sila ako naman wala mai-shopping kasi panay pang girl din mga items doon. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Transportation nila is super smooth. Medyo comparable sila sa Singapore train lines and super disiplinado ng tao. Nag tatagalog na kami doon minsan ng malakas pero wala silang pakealam. They don't mind if you laugh hard and is kind of obvious the way they like shrug you off like a local. Sobrang belong kami doon. Di mo mararamdaman na iba ka sa kanila. And we Filipinos look like them and we think that's a factor.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most vloggers and blogs say that Thai's don't speak English much. Nope. They're good! Sila na mismo mauuna mag English para sayo. Hindi sila mapilit. Sobrang babait nila.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rent a pocket Wi-Fi. You can choose the likes of Klook or KKday. Maganda naman Wi-Fi nila, ang problema lang tingin ko, sobrang laki masyado ng Bangkok at nakakapagod maglakad. Having a pocket WiFi helps you decide agad kung saan kayo pupunta. And masaya mag take ng photos kasi marami sila Instagram worthy places.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thailand for me is the best basic entry level travel para sa mga newbies. Damn, I fell in love sa lahat doon except food kasi sa sobrang tipid namin, we never get the chance to try ung mga famous restaurants nila. Sobrang higpit namin sa budget kaya nakakatawa parang may natira pa kong 10k+ sa budget ko.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dress neatly. First time ko nag travel na hindi ako nagshorts. All the time naka pants ako, iwas hassle na lang din since very religious ang country nila.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">GRAB APP works and the car driver we had is a female and she even offered us three water bottles upon arrival sa airport. Doon ako na inlove na lalo sa Thailand. THEY'RE FREAKIN' POLITE AND KIND. Ang layo sa ating mga pinoy. And our Grab Car price is only 380 baht. Given na malayo sya.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, I thought I fell in love with Singapore since it's my first travel, but now? THAILAND IS MY FAVORITE COUNTRY, everything they presented made us feel good in a short span of time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Given the chance bumalik? YES, gladly. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. BABALIK AKO NG THAILAND! So many unfinished business, tourist spots, Baifer, Davika.. kahit na lang ung mag relax sa Café dun. Mas mura pa sya kesa pumunta ako ng Mindanao area. And, our airline tickets is NOT PROMO FARE. It's a regular fare flight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">###</div></div>Blightfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13569298292045033609noreply@blogger.com070 Sukhumvit 24 Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Tan, Khet Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand13.7251071 100.565923713.708431377229546 100.54875756230469 13.741782822770455 100.58308983769531tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874074100518889896.post-69624188195162220582017-10-22T23:31:00.000-07:002017-10-22T23:31:07.631-07:00Southwoods Mall: The Latest Mall Experience In The SouthI thought of blogging this one as I recently dropped by <a href="http://www.megaworldlifestylemalls.com/mall/southwoods-mall">Southwoods Mall's month-long grand opening celebration</a>.

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">PERSONAL RANT WARNING.</span></b> Hear me out. I studied in Colegio San Agustin Binan from 1993 up to 2009. Those who studied in the institution would probably feel the same as me. I am totally envious of the present students who are there now. Before, we had to endure a P40+ of tricycle ride up to Pacita Complex, which is the nearest leisure place we could ever visit. Pacita served as out sanctuary before, and it was extremely far from the school. I never envisioned Southwoods to develop so much to the extent that they would be construct a shopping mall which we can literally crawl to reach. As an alumnus, I knew I was unfortunate. Anyway, <span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">moving on.........</span><br />
<br />
That's me being honest. But of course, its a good thing to all neighboring subdivisions. People from Juana, Silcas, Silmer, San Francisco, Rosario, Olympia, Chrysanthemum, Adelina, Pacita and those I failed to mention, perhaps this is the biggest development so far in the nearby areas. I used to watch the developments unfold before my very eyes each and every year. I can still remember how they built Southwoods exit, re engineered each and every access to and from our areas to north and south etc. Even the construction of Splash Island and its museum before (<i>unfortunately I forgot the exact name but its connected to the word Ecocentrum</i>).<br />

I never had the chance to attend the ribbon cutting of its exact opening date. But I was able to attend the festivities especially the guests and other performers who graced the celebration. I am a band fanatic and I never missed the chance to meet some of my admired bands which came in to play. I only focused on some of those I personally know.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So there was the first Sunday of October, which I had the chance to see the bands Southern Lights, Mayonnaise and the iconic Ely Buendia. Southern Lights is a up and coming band from Las Pinas, Mayonnaise, well you know them pretty well and Ely Buendia, of course.<br />

Then I happen to drop by at the third week, which showcased the bands Jensen and the Flips (they are officially one of my top live performers now and they were excellent!), Madeline (who sounds like Barbie Almalbis), of course, the great Marc Abaya and the rest of Kjwan, and the chic magnet Champ Lui Pio and the rest of Hale. These performances are my main highlights. There are other guests who graced the event on the 2nd week such as KZ Tandingan, Michael Pangilinan and the like. I'm not a fan of them so I let them be.<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots I took during the band performances (not in order)<br />

KC, Mama and I had the privilege to watch the show for free. Thanks to KC's high school classmate whose now working for <a href="https://www.ticketworld.com.ph/">TicketWorld</a>. It was indeed a treat - not just for me and her, but also to my Mom whose extremely busy nursing my cutie pamangkin (on a daily basis).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always remembered my childhood as a 90's baby; as I turned on our old television to watch cartoons on a busy weekday mornings before I attend class. Popular cartoon programs are being presented by both giant television networks (GMA and ABS CBN) such as <i>Charlotte, Julio at Julia, Tom Sawyer, Hiede</i> (<i>whom I still fathom on how the f*** can she slide down on a rainbow</i>), <i>the Dog of Flanders</i>, etc. to name a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Honestly, one of my personal favorites would be <i>Si</i> <i>Maria at ang Pamilya Von Trapp</i>. It was the Japanese cartoon rendition of the Sound of Music, depicting the daily adventures and struggle of Maria. I've always been fond of Maria and the Filipino dubbed cartoon because we were literally kids that time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, since mobile phones or cameras are restricted when show is running, I managed to take a few snaps of the place and the ending bows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks again for the free complimentary passes, Ms Jacky! Hope to see another West End plays soon. Hopefully Wicked. LOL</div>

Tinkering some ideas -- most of all a path for my future, and my over all life.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every now and then, I get to browse and read a lot of articles mostly about life. I've been carefully examining myself (tbh) if I have a lot of flaws by the way I interact, the way I socialize, the way I look at things and events -- in short, my perspective.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today, I crashed in to a Facebook friend's post. It was shocking, for it was absolute truth. Again, for the nth time, I reflected. I questioned myself once again, if these failures and misfortunes in the last three years is to blame myself, or the world that I'm living.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The country I'm living now is in a constant mess. Tons of problems being faced each and everyday, and I want to point out poverty as the root cause of the problem. And this I realized, I am now an advocate for labor aspect equality and ethics. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My countrymen perhaps, is now a rot to the gut. Politicians who are an absolute corrupt from head to foot, followed by lower government officials that seems to practice the same false activities, down to the lowest. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, with regard to the post that I'm pertaining, I wanted to question companies and how do they hire talents. Last week, I get to experience an interview overseas which I took as a "turning point" of my life, that turned into a nightmare. I was shocked that the interviewer was a Filipino. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Benefit of the doubt, I was optimistic that the fellow countryman had already removed that "Crab Mentality" which Filipinos are known for. I was so optimistic that, the company thrives for attitude first, then skills later. During my interview via Skype, I get to express the nicest form of conversation I had ever done in my video call life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That person was the chief of technology and chief human resource officer of the company based in Malaysia. I did a little background check on him to get a slight glimpse of his personality, turns out that he was out of the country for at least 10 years or so.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, trying to be extremely optimistic -- the success he's now enjoying should translate the way he should view candidates for a certain position. I've cleared myself of everything -- thinking that I should present myself in the nicest demeanor as possible. When I first received his call, sounds like he was already grumpy, or should I say unenthusiastic with talking to me. As a communications graduate with a broad experience of face to face negotiation(s), I could already translate his tone to what kind of mood he is in. Turns out, he was extremely unenthusiastic already. He never managed to ask me the right questions to begin with. He was emphasizing on personal growth, which obviously, I have no confusions at this point of my life. He was trying to provoke me in a manner that the only goal is to embarrass me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I held myself composed while he's asking subjective questions which frustrates me as our time ticks. He highlights my personal being not asking for skills and work experience. I was appalled his demeanor, which left me speechless at the end. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He was an extreme a-hole I guess. I tried my best to be as nice for they were seeking for attitude. I never asked him anything that would hurt him for most part. I respected him, but I never received the same amount of respect that I deserve as well. He never thought that I am a fellow Filipino, which in turn asking why I wanted to get my "ass" out of the Philippines as he exactly stated. If I had the choice to answer again, I'd tell him "the same reason as yours". For sure, he had every ounce of idea why Filipinos wanted to get out of the country and work overseas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was a failure. I never get to advance to the next step as he already concluded my application and put a halt to my dream working there. He never even said "hello" and never said how am I doing. It was a crazy, unenthusiastic interview ever. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It made me think that the myth is true. Filipinos worst enemy is a Filipino as well. Crab mentality at its best. If the interviewer turns out to be a different nationality, he/she might not ask subjective questions and becomes objective. They needed my skills and expertise, and I don't deserve to work for a-holes like him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was a sad experience. But I know when and where to get my myself back up. I'm still optimistic, enthusiastic, and it never broke my spirits. Time will come that I may bump into him in the future, looking at him eye to eye with my head held up high.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know what leadership meant. Leadership is a collection of failures and errors made during your life. It was the first page of writing the success story. That's how I view leadership and if it means questioning decisions made by your executives, stand firm and correct them. Selfish decisions will put others work/jobs in jeopardy.</div>

We always knew that whenever we hear the province of Aurora, we automatically remember its famous surf spot, Baler. Last April 23, we get the chance to venture one of Aurora's unexplored wonders, Dingalan -- which was now termed as "Batanes of the East".<br />

<br />The plan for this escapade started when a close friend of mine offered this Dingalan tour package. At first, I was hesitant as the price doesn't seem to fit a one whole day tour. Brutally honest, I find it expensive. The tour rate includes transportation from Manila-Dingalan <i>v.v.</i>, boat rental(s), and entrance fees. It does exclude the meals so the stopovers will be helpful to purchase food. (Or pack your own food)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tour rate starts at P999 (not bad actually) and we're offered to pay another P150 per head for our sumptuous lunch to be personally cooked by the locals. Again, not bad.</div>

<b>ARRIVAL AT DINGALAN</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
As we arrived at Dingalan Feeder port around 5 in the morning, we were asked to register. After which, we took a quick breakfast at a nearby food house. We ate native longanisa and egg, as well as Tocino and egg and a mango shake. I never had the chance to take a photo for I was the one carrying our luggage. As soon as we're finished, we are again asked to have an assembly in front of the registration area, and instructed us to board our boat.<br />

<b>LAMAO CAVES</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the interesting things I saw in Dingalan is its archipelago. It is presently untouched and is similar to Caramoan. But its rock formations had a lot of green and I might be able to compare it to Scotland, or any picturesque similar to it. The formation is firm, and its cut clean. It has least rock edges and quite fascinating. This is also the first time I saw an archipelago with a lot of caves.<br />
<br />

<br />
As soon as we board the boat, a 30 minute ride is spent to reach the Lamao caves. Personally, I am not impressed, as tourists can only alight and take pictures outside the cave. So I resented to disembark and decided to stay on the boat as the scenic view is waaaaay much better when you're board the boat.<br />

<b>THE WHITE BEACH</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
After we ventured the Lamao caves, we then headed to Paltic, and it's actually a white beach. This is also the jump off point for trekking going to the view deck and the light house.<br />
<br />
Our coordinators rented two (2) cottages for us (van 1 and van 2). We're also instructed to put down our bags as we took a short break then we're off to trek at the view deck first, and the light house after. Our guides also told us that the view deck trek is easy than the light house, and the advantage of going to the view deck is that the path is shaded as compared to the light house. We're also given the option if we can take both treks or just choose one. Our coordinator told us that its only advisable to trek at the view deck as the light house (structure itself) doesn't allow anyone to enter the structure anymore.<br />
<br />
Before we started to trek, we took out first group picture. BTW, we are a group of 30 pax (2 vans with 15 pax each).<br />

<b>THE TREK TO VIEW DECK</b><br />
<br />
KC and I took the view deck trek only. It was not easy for somebody who stopped any extreme adventures for 2 years.. so yeah, it was hard for me. I took deep breathes several times. Thank God for proper body training during my hay days, the mind over body thing made me effective during the trek without any casualty. I was really worried about my body weight and I was not prepared for trekking.<br />
<br />
PS: I don't advise trekking for senior citizens on both view deck or light house. Believe me. I've had a hard time and this is 100% honest.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One word: Breathtaking.<br />
<br />
It was quite a trek, and reaching the top seeing the majestic view of the archipelago. It is indeed the Batanes of the East.<br />

After which, we trekked back to our cottage and took our lunch.<br />
<br />
As soon as we finished our lunch, we tidied up and had a quick dip in to the sea -- and relax a little. We had a small chat with some locals at the front of a small store, asked about Dingalan's best places, where to buy fresh seafood and such. Our coordinator even exchanged digits with one local to promote his cottage that can be a future reference for those who wanted to stay for a night in Dingalan beach front.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>TANAWAN FALLS</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We're now ready to head back to feeder port and ride our van. We're now headed to our final destination, which is Tanawan falls. Local tour guide(s) told us that it'll be another 15-20 minute trek to reach the area of the falls, and in an open field. We needed our sun protections once again.<br />
<br />
Once we reached barangay Tanawan, the jump off point will welcome tourists of the entrance fee. Our coordinator paid for our fees then off we go to disembark to the parking area.<br />
<br />
The parking area is composed of some local houses and a store which offers "<i>banlaw</i>" and "<i>bihis</i>". (Shower and change clothes). Rate is P20 per head.<br />
<br />
Then off we trek once again going to the falls. Upon reaching the top, tourists will be welcomed by registration before descending down to the falls proper.<br />

<b>MY OBSERVATION</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
There's no doubt that Dingalan is a rising tourist destination in the Philippines for it boasts a great amount of green lush environment with a bit of "wild". The province of Aurora seems to be rich with this kind of environment, not to wonder why Baler is famous.<br />
<br />
But in my own opinion, Dingalan is not senior citizen friendly, and they may take away the word "trekking" as it may confuse the tourists that they'd just take a long walk. The path going to view deck and light house is a warning for those joiners as it may be termed as "hiking" because it involves danger with stone edges and slippery path.<br />
<br />
Spending a whole day in Dingalan is enough. It's a real quick escape for those who are intoxicated in their lives in the metro. If I returned, I'd make sure I'll be spending most of the time relaxing at the white beach only. I do find the white beach relaxing. I'm not sure if my colleague of joiners did a little bit of relaxing there, but we do find it relaxing. Staying at the cottage reading books and sippin' coffee or any cold drinks can suffice your whole day of stay.<br />
<br />
As for the organizers; a job well done! I do think there are quite a few complains along the way such as picking up other passengers which heavily favors them, and those who sacrificed their time to reach the meetup point does seem a little bit of unfair. Both KC and I came from Laguna, and yes we did find it unfair. But, what choice do we have? Anyway, I'm used to doing it so its not an issue.<br />
<br />
A note to both coordinators: Yes, I both find you funny, kwela, and some sort. But I, as an experienced traveler (having the luxury of traveling with big businessmen) don't want to have this kind of vibe always. Being funny and responsible had strings of differences, I didn't felt comfortable not offering our driver any food, drinks or even a bite of candy. As much as I wanted to butt in, I never wanted to take out the joiners' respect on them. A little expression of heart can create a ripple, the drivers are the ones responsible for our lives so treating them as mere "drivers" only can cause us any untoward violence resulting to accidents.<br />

Caramoan is located in the eastern part of Bicol Region, particularly in Camarines Sur. It is a vast, rich and lush environment which is an extremely perfect getaway from the pollution around Metro Manila.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Traveling on this place is very easy as you may take transportation via land or air. Cebu Pacific presents an affordable flight going to Naga city. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, there are lots of land tours offered by travel agencies. Most of them are found in Facebook as pages, or often promoted by those who tried it on travel groups. Much of which are also cheaper when traveling as a group. </div>

<b>HOW TO GET THERE</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This was an anniversary getaway between me and KC. Since she loved traveling to white sands and swim on the beach, I've been telling her stories about Caramoan for a long time. Caramoan is popular for hosting TV contest, SURVIVOR. A lot of host countries are now using the islands of Caramoan to film the contest. Much of the detailed stories will be told by your guides when you get there. There are several stories and it might take me pages to finish it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We were supposed to travel via Cebu Pacific but insisted to travel there by land as our flight schedule doesn't seem to fit our tight schedule on our tour. So what we did is to research about a bus company which goes to Naga city. Also, we searched for an affordable accommodation and we found something online. Please read on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Several bloggers already published easy access going to Caramoan. What we did is do it manually. We took <a href="http://philtranco.net/"><b>Philtranco</b> Bus</a> (<i>with CR)</i> to go there. It was a fun 9 hours ride and the bus left Pasay terminal at 8:30 PM sharp. We did 2 stopovers: one is at Turbina, the other one is somewhere in Camarines Norte. It was a convenient ride since it is airconditioned and there is a comfort room inside. No problems encountered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We arrived at Bicol Central Bus terminal at exactly 5:00 in the morning. I've never had the chance to take photos during our bus ride as the conductor turned off all lights during our ride. As we're about to disembark the bus, we felt hungry so we decided to take our breakfast first. We decided to take our breakfast at the terminal to let KC try authentic Bicolano cuisine. For the first time, she tried the popular and locally made Bicol Express.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We finished our meal before 6:00 in the morning, then we walked towards the terminal which is only located at the back of SM Naga. It was a well-organized terminal. We took the Sabang van.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Since we were on the first trip and there are less tourists, we waited up until 7:30 AM and we were the only ones inside. The driver then asked us if it is our first time in Caramoan, and we said, Yes. He then told us to add another P50 per head to leave the terminal. He told us that we might not make the 9 in the morning boat to Caramoan and it might cost us our tour schedule. So we agreed. It was cheap and I felt he was honest. Along the way, he just picks up passengers to fill his van.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We arrived at Sabang port at 8:45 AM, enough to reach our boat ride. We boarded the boat at 9:10 AM and immediately left. </div>

As other bloggers were saying, once you're on the way to Caramoan via boat, you might get a glimpse of the Mayon Volcano at the south. Unfortunately and what Mayon does, it is extremely shy. </div>

It was a fun 2 hours plus boat ride, with a lot of scenery you will see from left and right. It was almost like we started our tour proper already. We arrived at Guijalo port (Caramoan proper) at 11:15 AM. We have at least an hour to prepare for our tour which would start at 12:30 PM. We were picked up by our van hosted by our accommodation at West Peninsula Villas. </div>

Heading in to the first island, these scene is very common as you will be amazed by the beauty of Caramoan. Comparisons from Coron, yes. But, Caramoan is more rich and is more untouched. It's pretty obvious by just a simple glance at the rocks and the plants. Guide told us that they are trying their best to retain the beauty of the islands as it is being used for filming. They have to retain the natural surroundings.</div>

Another island just across Lahos island. Pretty much the same as Lahos for everything is so similar, but the sand on my opinion, is much rougher than Lahos. There's also a rock formation where you can climb (but not recommended) where you can see a chance to spot the famous "<i>mahiwagang bangus</i>". Let your guide tell the rest of the story. The island had remnants of the wares used by Survivor contestants.</div>

Kagbanilad island has amazing rock formation and a cool environment. Great fine sand same as Minalahos. BTW, Minalahos and Kagbanilad islands are not used for Survivor shooting for these islands are small. But, I'm not really sure. I never saw anything worth camping for Survivor because it was small.</div>

These islands are near each other. We were able to catch a glimpse of the villas used by the staff and crew of Survivor. Most of which are white villas and quite a good place to relax too.<br />
<br />
We were able to get back at Paniman port at around 5:00 PM. It was such an great first day of island hopping!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SECOND DAY OF ISLAND HOPPING</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We had a peaceful sleep before the second day arrives. We were instructed that the call time for the second island hopping is 7:00 in the morning. We took our early breakfast at around 6:00 in the morning.<br />
<br />
We headed to Bikal terminal port. It is much bigger than Paniman port and there's a lot of fishermen. I do think that it is the main terminal for them. There's also a horizon of <i>Bakawan </i>or Mangroves present surrounding the area.<br />
<br />
So we took off, boarded the same boat we rode yesterday and the guide told us that the boat we're using is owned by West Peninsula Villas. We found it fascinating.<br />

<b>MANLAWI SANDBAR</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Let me tell you about a short story about this trip. It was cloudy that day and it was already reported in the media that there is an impending storm coming to the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) in that day afternoon. It would hit the eastern part of the Philippines so while on the boat going to Manlawi, the wind is going strong and we were like on that boat rocking. Strong waves already caught us, and our brave boatmen said to be experienced, led the boat to the strong current to avoid the boat from the corals down under. It was the first time I felt really nervous during a boat trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Thank God, we survived! Here's a short clip after we approached the high tide.</div>

We arrived at Manlawi beach and we saw the vast sandbar as advertised in Google street map. We're fascinated as there are local fishermen who sells fresh seafoods in the area. Also, there are floating nipa huts and I think its free of use. Manlawi that time is at low tide but the gust of wind makes the sandbar sink fast. Again, because there is an impending storm that time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Soon as the high tide reached Manlawi and slight rain started to pour, we then proceeded to Cotivas island. Again, there are Nipa huts present, and there is a house at the middle of the island. We're told that they are caretakers. Caretaker of the island perhaps? Or a permanent resident there, I don't know which is true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Since we spent like 2 hours in Manlawi, we took our lunch at Cotivas.</div>

<b>GUINAHUAN ISLAND</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While appreciating Cotivas, KC and I saw a watchtower from afar, across the island. Then we asked our guide if we can can visit that watchtower. He then told us, yes. Then we took off to Guinahuan island.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Guinahuan Island had residents and a lot of them. When we disembarked the boat, we passed by houses and took a rough 20 minute trek on to the top. We were also drenched in the rain as we trekked going to the watchtower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then we arrived at the watchtower. We were definitely amazed by how beautiful the view is. It is spectacular, it was stunning, and the closest resemblance (in my opinion) of Batanes. </div>

Since there are a lot of islands to visit and the next day we will be leaving Caramoan early, the last island we've been to is Sabitang Laya and the Bag-Ing beach. The island itself is the main playing grounds when there are tribal games in Survivor.</div>

It also presents tons of rock formations and is perfect for photography. You can also pitch a tent there and spend the rest of the day there. It was marvelous.</div>

It was already around 4:00 in the afternoon and the storm seems likely to be closing in on us while still on the island. As soon as we felt a little raindrop, we headed back to mainland and to the hotel.</div>

<b>LAST DAY: A FULL DAY RETURN TO MANILA</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Since going back to Sabang port from Guijalo port takes a lot of time, we already packed our bags during the evening. And the storm is already felt during the wee hours of the night the very reason why we had to go back to Naga the earliest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We woke up at 5:00 AM, then took out breakfast at 6;00 AM, checked out at 6:30 AM, then off we go to Guijalo port at exactly 7:00 AM. Here we encountered the strong pour of rain and we're at the terminal to wait for out boat to arrive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was already 8:15 AM and there's no sight of the boat. Now we're fearing that the boat ride might be cancelled. And it did cancelled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So we hurriedly took a tricycle ride back to the Caramoan town proper to catch the 9:00 AM bus to Naga city. Since it was raining so hard, the path going down the slopes of Caramoan is terrifying as we also encountered a car accident which fell on the road. I can describe the route as scary as Kennon road in Baguio, probably a times x5 dangerous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It took us 3 hours to reach Pili airport, at exactly 1:30 PM since we slowed down for safety. Our supposed flight is 2:00 PM so we are rushing ourselves to reach the flight 20 minutes before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then as we sat down the waiting area for boarding, they announced that our flight was cancelled as well. Then what we did next is plan B, we were supposed to go to Legazpi and take a plane there. But my friend from Legazpi already told us that the rain was pouring heavily already, so probably the flights at Legazpi airport might be cancelled as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Since we're too tired already, we decided to take a bus to Manila from Naga central terminal again. So Philtranco was the first choice. We headed to Naga terminal and purchased our bus ticket. We stayed at a nearby hotel at least 3 hours to wait for our 9:00 PM departure.</div>

Planning to go on a nature trip near Manila? Here's one of the ideas you were looking for! Just a few hours drive away from Manila, you might want to visit this hidden gem situated in the town of Amadeo in Cavite.</div>

It was a day where my friends whom I met during the nationwide youth leadership event <a href="http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/163973/angat-kabataan-heritage-summer-camp-revisits-conservation-efforts-in-bicol/">Angat Kabataan Camp</a> planned a nature daytrip to escape the daily grind in the metro. They live in Makati and Sta. Ana areas respectively, and I live in Laguna. Since I can drive them in Cavite, I proposed to drive them to Amadeo since I've been there before with Mama and my Kuya. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
JC (one of my friends) joined a morning fun run in Filinvest Alabang the same day. I told everyone that I will make sundo to them there so it will be easier for them rather than they go to San Pedro. Since we have an access road here that will bring us faster than the Aguinaldo Highway route, I suggested that we will be passing through the Carmona-GMA-Dasmarinas route to cut some minutes (or probably hours). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was an early Sunday morning, I picked them up in Festival Mall while they were sippin' some coffee and frappe's at Starbucks riverbank (daya nyo!!) and hindi sila nanlibre. Anyways, it was 8 in the morning, then made a quick drive thru at McDonald's Southwoods, passed by the access road in Southwoods en route to Governors drive checkpoint. I drove them directly to General Trias area where we had a quick stop to buy our food and other essentials. Because literally, we brought only ourselves and our mode of transportation. LOL </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Time check is around 10AM. Our travel was surprisingly fast as we did not encountered any traffic especially in SM Dasmarinas intersection. Estimated travel time is around 1 hour and 20 minutes to General Trias if we didn't have to go on a stopover at McDonald's Southwoods. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As soon as we finished buying our stuffs, we now turned left at Crisanto Reyes (avenue or street?) en route to Balite Falls. It was midway of the road (because Crisanto Reyes' end of the road will be at Tagaytay SkyRanch) where we turned right going to the entrance of Balite Falls.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>UPON ARRIVAL...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we reached the entrance, we already felt that there are a lot of visitors that day, judging by the number of cars in the parking area. We were greeted by people (not sure what we'll call them) and they asked us if how many are inside the van. We said 6 people, and they gave us options.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Option A:</b> Pay P100 /person without the use of swimming pool</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Option B:</b> Pay P150 /person with use of swimming pool</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(<i>Not sure if this is weekend price, but we assume it is</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, both options include swimming at the falls area. We decided to take option B to give us flexibility to appreciate the place. Oh, and they asked us if were going to rent a cottage near the falls area or pool area. We took the falls area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parking is free. Also, they had sari-sari stores which provides the basic necessities. It's cool though. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we disembarked our van, we encountered very steep steps as we descended. The steps are extremely slippery, give that the day is quite sunny. It's not advisable to leave the elderly to just go around the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had our cottage, it's enough to provide you shelter. Not cozy though. <b>Cottage rent is P400</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To give you a tour around the place, here's my girlfriend's photos of the place. All photos used here are from her, So copyright, KC Mangubat. </div>

It was a spontaneous trip, nonetheless. But it's something worth while, because visiting the Quezon Province is not something me and my family do most of the time. I've personally been to Lucban once since 2000's. </div>

Joey Faller. It was my first time to go to <a href="http://kamaynihesus.ph/">Kamay Ni Hesus</a>, and I was already fascinated by the environment surrounding it. Of course, it was really relaxing in the eyes to see a lot of 'greenery' as we approach the place. The air itself is soothing as it eliminates the toxic air brought by the daily grinds in the city. </div>

I was surprised also by the sheer number of tourists who dropped by the holy place most probably took off earlier than us. Before the mass started, I get to ask a married couple some information from where they came from and why did they wanted to go there. We had similar answers and probably, it could be the same as the other visitors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I only attended two healing masses throughout my lifetime. But this one is different. The environment provided a much relaxing experience and the serenity of the place seems to contribute for feeling the holy spirit. The healing mass commences, and it was really something. Fr. Joey Faller, is a really good healing priest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right after the mass, Mama and I managed to squeeze a little time to try Lucban original Pancit Luglug. I tried the original since early 2000's. So, mama and I did a little walk in the vicinity, and stumbled down the church "canteen". There, we ordered one Pancit Luglug just for the both of us.</div>

When we left Kamay Ni Hesus, we took a short trip inside the town of Lucban. We never had the chance to disembark, because it was already past noon. Then we took our lunch at the original Palaisdaan in Lucban.</div>

<a href="https://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it/">Cyberbullying</a> is one of the most disgusting things I hate about the internet. I strongly condemn this act and being part of the digital world (<i>both professionally and personally</i>), I've never used the internet to smite down one's character to the point of virally shaming him/her.</div>

In my opinion, I always believed that the use of the internet is a privilege. It was suppose to be a '<i>tool</i>' utilized to broaden an individuals knowledge because of the openness it presents. The privilege of a global access wireless-ly is this day's modern way to gather significant data -- and this privilege is now being abused by a broad number of irresponsible netizens and sharing nonsensical views, articles, or any forms of information leading to either positive or negative results. </div>

These past few days, I've already encountered tons of online defaming due to several reasons. Mostly because of our country's on-going drastic changes; the President's move(s), next move(s), past move(s) -- Yes, most of which are politically related. And it's kind of irritating to read massive comments from various users on Facebook shaming the subject(s) involve in the article posted by news websites. Even though most of which are credible and reliable news websites, moderators does not have the power to control hundreds to thousands of comments being posted every minute. I personally understand the agony of community engagement via digital because I'm an online community manager as well. It requires a keen eye to control which is supposed to be posted or not. But even moderators can't withstand the idiocy level of these so-called "<i>netizens</i>" and it sucks. Believe me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hate the open world setup of the internet; especially social media. I can't help but to point out mistakes from a number of irresponsible users from my country. Sometimes, I felt shy by being a Filipino. Why? Fact of the matter is, I hate the thing called "<i>Filipino pride</i>" being shouted by my irresponsible countrymen. The global phenomena of Facebook mixed by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality">crab mentality</a> of the Filipinos is beyond chaotic. Most of them doesn't even know that if they shame someone online, it creates a ripple. A ripple in which other nations see. A ripple where negative connotation is built and makes us more of a low-life characters in a cartoon show. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These acts are becoming alarming. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AND IT HAS TO STOP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is an abuse of democracy. That's why I personally push for more discipline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post acts as proof of allegiance to various groups who strongly condemn the act of cyberbullying.</div>

It took me a few months before posting again. I guess I was too busy trying to reflect on some things. After careful planning and considerations, I finally came to terms with one of my bucketlist rides -- Daang Hari.</div>

Few people who reside from San Pedro, had an idea that there is a pathway going to Daang Hari. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daang_Hari_Road">Daang Hari is an expressway which connects Alabang and Las Pinas, all the way to Cavite</a>, specifically; Molino, Imus and Bacoor. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few months ago, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntinlupa%E2%80%93Cavite_Expressway">MCX (Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway) just opened which enters and exits Susana Heights (SLEX)</a>. It was developed to decongest traffic from Alabang proper to Daang Hari. The city of San Pedro -- deemed lucky and fortunate that it possesses such a marvelous geography.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My big bro and I decided to take that leap of faith and brave the up and down slopes of San Pedro to reach Daang Hari. It was the easiest route, but it'll make your legs a little shaky. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We took off from our house to Daang Hari via the hills of San Pedro. Unfortunately, due to the hard uphill ride, taking a photo of the road never came in to mind. Silly me!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, it took us an hour to reach Daang Hari. My Cateye reads it by.. 11 kilometers only! But the ride. Totally exhausting. 90% uphill. Some riders compare it to Cardiac hill btw.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After climbing those steep roads, ALAS! We finally made it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below are the photos we took as we cruise along Daang Reyna (a small road connecting to) Daang Hari, and Evia City.</div>

Before we head home, we took a quick breakfast at Evia City McDonald's. It was my first time there. Evia contains a lot of interesting establishments including restaurants, coffee house(s), and a Rustan's Supermarket. (I really wished I took a lot of photos during this ride. Regrets)</div>

We decided to push through one route that'll lead us directly (shortcut) to Nuvali.<br />

BUT<br />
<br />
With some extremes using our beloved rides. And we did.<br />

<a name='more'></a>We had our previous ride posted here. Then here's our 2nd time.<br />
<br />
We decided to take on a different route which is the Davilan trail to Nuvali -- regarded by most bicycle riders as the easiest route to Nuvali.<br />

We followed the trail which leads to Carmona River (<i>via Google Maps</i>). This Davilan route is different from the known uphill Davilan climb.<br />

The end of the trail will lead you to some houses. Of course as courtesy, we greet them with smiles and some <i>"Good morning po!"</i>.<br />

We're lucky to have timed our ride with a low tide. Since it was that scorching hot, there are no signs of rain, the water from the river seems palpable and can be crossed without worries or hesitation, we took time to have fun with the river taking a time off dipping in the pristine water, and some fun photos as we took our rides to a great river crossing photo shoot.<br />

I decided to fulfill one of my solo dream rides -- which would lead me to the well-famed and hidden Marcos Mansion in Canlubang, Laguna. It was a solo trip and would take me at least a half day's ride to and from the Mansion.</div>

<b><b>THE PLAN</b></b></div>
<b>
</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was planning for this ride a long time ago. Original plan is to be with a rider buddy, but since there's no one of my ride buddies are available that time, I decided to brave it all alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I get to further research the fastest and easiest route to Marcos Mansion. Since I tried going to Nuvali not so long time ago, I mapped the route easily. Also, I was training my legs, cardio and endurance just to reach the location. It took me at least 3 weeks of everyday training in Southwoods, running laps approximately 6 or 7 laps just to reach a 12 kilometer goal. One of the few bright spots of the training is how to keep myself hydrated for an hour to preserve my bottle of water. </div>

That said, I also added a few features in my ride like upgrading to Shimano Rapidfire brakeshifters for easy uphill climbs, added a generic suspension fork just to prevent breakage of my stock rigid fork if ever I get to chance encounter a rough terrain -- all to prevent hassle along the road. </div>

<b>THE RIDE TO NUVALI VIA TIMBAO-LANGKIWA ROAD </b>(First Pitstop)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I passed by my original route which is the road to Carmona, Cavite via Congressional road - to Governor's Drive, then to Carmona Bayan proper. After which, I passed by Barangay Sto, Tomas in Binan, Laguna. I took a right turn to pass by Barangay Langkiwa, then Barangay Timbao, exiting to Nuvali Boulevard specifically at the Gate 3 of Laguna Technopark. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nuvali Boulevard itself leads riders directly to Solenad, Nuvali. I passed by some subdivisions including Palma Real Estates, San Jose Residences 3, and De La Salle Canlubang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are at least 3 guard houses before I reach the end of Nuvali Boulevard, the intersection of Nuvali, Tagaytay and Balibago. </div>

711 in Nuvali got a lot of riders and their rides parked too, so I ride along the premises to take some photos.<br />

I reached the Nuvali with the goal of not drinking any liquid for an hour.. 1st accomplishment done!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I felt my legs tremble and my body weakening as I drink my H2O. I then decided not to resume going to Marcos Mansion, but time told me that it was waaaaay to early to go back. It was just 7:05 AM.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took at least 20 minutes rest. Then I decided to give it a go!</div>

After a kilometer of open space ride, I reached a turn stating that turning right will lead me to Barangay Casile. Riders from biker forums said that the Mansion itself is located in Barangay Casile. This means I'm literally near the place.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After turning right to Casile, I encountered an uphill, curved steep climb and it was a hell of a climb. It's my first time there so I forgot to switch my gear. I managed to climb the lower half of the curve but rested my feet as it was really a climb for the ages. I continued to climb by foot. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then at last.. I reached the Marcos Mansion! It was a vintage mansion to say the least. It was huge enough to accommodate probably a rich family back in the days. It deserves to be called as a "Mansion". Such an awesome sight to behold. The place itself cannot be reached that easily if you don't have a steady research on how to reach the area, since it was that remote. Strategically placed at a hill, the foot of the mountain where a shortcut to Tagaytay's Palace in the Sky can be reached. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For cyclists, the trail to Palace in the Sky via Barangay Casile, they call it Revpal, (not sure why) but it would take cyclists about how many kilometers of uphill climb to reach Palace in the Sky. Seems hard though, but surely will be my next destination. Will try Casile/Revpal trail to Palace in the Sky next time. More trainings, cardio and endurance! </div>

A place where we can ride a trail and stop by to watch people doing Paragliding.<br />

My high school batchmate, Hirayama Munoz (Yami as we call him), called me for a short ride to Carmona. He hinted me to watch some paragliders do their thing at the Carmona Ridge. Unfortunately, it was the first time I heard such a thing exist; especially a miles away from where we live!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a Saturday morning -- we decided to meet at CSA Binan. So I wear all my cycling gears to prepare myself for a hot ride. Then off I go to CSA.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yami arrived together with his friend, Kenneth -- who happens to be an alumnus as well in CSA. He resides near Yami's place. After I met him, we took some take off shots.</div>

We took the Congressional road route to Carmona checkpoint; crossed the high way then proceeded behind Carmona race tracks horses' stables.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The path is a long steep road, some are asphalt, some are concrete. The route itself obviously leads you to the foot of a hill. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The moment we arrived at the foot of the hill, there's an open area. Very wide open area. There's a bicycle path available to climb up the hill. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately that time, I still owned a rigid fork which is not safe for rough uphill stiff climbs. Therefore for safety, I didn't have time to take pictures that much. The uphill climb is very, very difficult. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I'll get a chance to get back, I promise to take some pictures of the trail itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, after an almost hour of pedal, we finally arrived on top of the ridge, witnessing the beauty of Carmona on top of the mountain. </div>

<br />
There are a few mountain bike riders going up the hill as well. We stumbled with them and had a few gossips, basking on the glory of successfully climbing up the stiff hill.<br />
<br />
That time, <a href="http://www.ironwulf.net/2014/12/22/carmona-paragliding-flying-high-near-manila/">we saw the paragliding</a> activity. And it's quite an extreme!<br />

After a few hours rest, we took off the other route, the continuation of the uphill climb. A very rough terrain I can say, prone for bicycle tire to bloat. After a few minutes, we exit at Brgy. Maguyam, GMA Cavite.<br />
<br />
Yami offered a shortcut, but then on we were so hungry we can't even pedal a bit. So we passed by a "<i>bulaluhan"</i> and ate breakfast.<br />

<b>A </b><b>SHORT PROLOGUE</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mom and I attended an event where she cashed in her calling card for a raffle. Eventually, she's lucky enough to be the one chosen for a trip for two to SINGAPORE!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>DAY 1: DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL IN SINGAPORE</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Honestly speaking, I never planned to go on international travel for as long as I X'd marked the cities I wanted to go here in the Philippines. Pressing our luck during the raffle, it made me realize that even though you fall for how many times, you should double the number to get up. It was all a dream then, but dreams do come true. I was thinking of working abroad in the past few years, I think God inserted me for the "immersion", to know how difficult to be away from your comfort zone.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was 2:00 AM midnight when we proceed to NAIA 2 Centennial Airport. Flight is at 6:15 AM and the rule for international travelers is to be within the airport premises 3 hours before time of departure. Since we arrived around 3:00 AM, we opted to check-in, sign those immigration cards, proceed to immigration, then off to the lobby area. We slept for a couple of minutes while waiting for boarding time.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Estimated travel time to Singapore via plane is 3 hours. During the flight, Philippine Airlines (PAL) also serves delicious set of breakfast. Since I'm very hungry that time, I took the food which I think would satisfy my hunger. So I took this.</span><br />

Mom and I shocked -- the people, mostly mixed races. Talking different tongues -- everywhere. The signs are up the ceiling, several of them. Can't see arrival sign. So we asked a couple of pinoys who disembarked the same flight as ours to guide us out of the situation. We saw a Pinay, whom she described herself as to meet her boyfriend in Singapore which is halfway of their locations. We took a lot of walking, then gone downstairs and saw the immigration. Then off we go to belt 16 to fetch our luggage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We got outside of the airport and being met by one of the representatives of <a href="http://www.chariot.com.sg/">Chariot travel</a> to bring us to the hotel. We got a glimpse of Singapore by land as we cruise along their neat highway on the way to <a href="http://www.theelizabeth.com.sg/">Hotel Elizabeth</a>.<br />

We arrived in Hotel Elizabeth fascinated by the neat looks of the streets of Singapore. We entered the hotel which the attendants welcomed us with warm smiles. There we saw Modesto's (restaurant inside the hotel) and four (4) front receptionists. By chance, we talked to a Pinay front receptionist. How we'd know? When asked for our passports, she then said "Po" while giving instructions. So I asked her directly, <i>"Pinay ka noh, teh?" </i>She then replied with a big smile; <i>"Opo, sir Daniel"</i>. Gladly, the culture shock we experienced decreased while conversing with her. She then prepared our room, then my kuya arrived in time.

We then relaxed on our room a bit, took showers, took some time to eat as well. Temperature in Singapore is way much hotter than Philippines. Luckily, they have lots of establishments where air conditioning is fully functional with lots of coldness stored in it.</div>

We're set to walk to Orchard road, but first passing by Lucky Plaza. Lucky Plaza reminds of our very own Farmer's Plaza in Cubao. The interior looks the same. The kiosks looks the same. Even the stores looks the same! So we're off to eat some late lunch and big bro took us at a local Filipino restaurant named Kabayan.<br />

We left San Pedro around 7 in the morning. Since there is a faster access to San Pablo today, we opted to explore this route. It was the highway that comes after the Calamba exit which is called ACTEX. It was indeed a fast ride and we even bought vegetables being sold at the sidewalks as we cruise along.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived in San Pablo proper (exactly SM San Pablo) around 9 AM with traffic. We dropped my brother and his wife-to-be in SM San Pablo, then off we go to Bato Springs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we cruised along the national road, we kinda got lost trying to find Bato Springs. I asked a few bystanders and stumbled to someone who sell "kakanins". Right after we asked, he humbly begs us to buy at least one product. Wise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We turned left in a road at the edge of Meralco, then cruised along at least a couple of kilometers to reach Bato Springs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We reached Bato Springs with a surprising cover of trees shading the whole road. Cozy.</div>

We took our packed lunch at our van since the cottages doesn't fit our budget. The distance between the parking area and the pool areas are that close so we opted not to rent a cottage. Cottages start at P500. Tip: If you'll only use the cottage to drop your things, you prolly want to leave your things in the car rather than paying P500. </div>

Do not be shocked by the water's serene coldness. It's beyond extreme to human temperature! Once immersed in water, keep your body at bay. You might find yourself screaming because of the icy water. Slowly but surely.</div>

<b>A (<span style="font-size: xx-small;">VERY</span>) SHORT PROLOGUE</b><br />

I booked both our tickets a year before date of flight. </div>

<b>FLIGHT TO PUERTO PRINCESA</b><br />

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I may need to tell this story for this is the worst waiting game for me since I started traveling by means of an aircraft. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a stormy day, probably around Signal No. 2 or 3. I called <a href="http://www.cebupacificair.com/%E2%80%8E">Cebu Pacific</a> if there are any cancellation of flights going to Puerto Princesa, but to no avail, there were no advisories announcing the cancellation of flights to Puerto Princesa. We decided to proceed directly to NAIA 3 and waited for almost 10 hours. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived at NAIA 3 around 3:00 PM, plane departed at 1:00 AM. Touchdown, Puerto Princesa at 2:00 AM. WOW! We were picked up by our service to the transient house after 15 minutes. Checked in and we're informed that our first tour to Underground River will start early. We will be picked by the tour guide around 6 in the morning. Meaning, we have to take a bath, pack our things solely for Underground River tour, and take our breakfast, the earliest as possible. Time check? 10 minutes past 3:00 AM. We need to wake up at least 4:30 AM or 5:00 AM, the latest. So sleepy. Zzz</div>

We promised to sleep a few hours before we wake up at exactly 4:30 AM. We took our breakfast at around 5:30 AM. Breakfast is included in our accommodation anyway. Will share our experience and our house later on.<br />

Our tour guide picked us up exactly 6:00 AM. I was shocked by their strict time compliance. I envy their discipline in time management. We get on board our van which is a Toyota Commuter then we're off to pick up some guests as well from different hotels/houses. Their tour accommodates at least 15-16 guests per location. Example, one tour guide is scheduled to depart to Underground River this Tuesday. At one hotel, they have 2 guests, another hotel has 5 guests, and so on and so forth only to accommodate the exact number of guests to fill the van. Such precise discipline and coordination is required to pull such an endeavor.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After two hours of travel time, we get to arrive at Sabang port. Sabang port is locally termed as the<i> Gateway to the Underground River</i>. Most wonder what lies beyond the sea (South China Sea) that splashes around the shores.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our tour guide instructed us to wait for a few minutes as she takes care of the ticket fares and boat rides. As we wait, we entertained ourselves with quite a few finds around Sabang Port. A lovely sighting of the mountains and the breeze of the sea. Such marvel will justify how wonderful the world is.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the tour guide exits along the door of the ticket booth, she managed to group us to board along the boat where there is passenger limit. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Me and KC were grouped along our tour guide and some foreigners. There's one from Netherlands, and a spaniard couple. They're quite friendly I should say. Soon as we set ashore from Sabang port going to Underground River, along the cruise was a nice and very jolly chit chat over some local topics while gazing upon the beauty of the shorelines of Palawan. Such a beautiful sight. </div>

Upon arrival, our tour guide instructed us to take some snapshots and make the breath taking scenery of both sea and rocks as the background. Also, the place is a natural habitat for wild monkeys and monitor lizards (locally known as <i>bayawak). </i>We're also instructed not to bring any plastic bags that will turn the monkeys attention and they might mistakenly perceive those as food. </div>

We're now obligated to walk down the path to the entrance of the Underground River. But there's a twist-- we will be passing by a sanctuary where there are tons of wild monkeys who can jump in front of us and steal something! Yes, you heard it right.. These monkeys are real thieves!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, the <i>mamang bangkeros </i>or the boatmen are very friendly and got tons of funny stories to tell. Their names sounds catchy too. You might find yourself onboard with boatman Piolo Pascual. Who knows?</div>

And we returned to Sabang Port, and we took our buffet lunch somewhere in Sabang Port as well.<br />
<br />
Took another 2 hours of travel time back in our house.<br />

We stayed at <b>Josefina's Pension House</b>. All I can say is, their staff is VERY, VERY FRIENDLY! They serve yummy and delicious breakfast as well! For those who wanted to travel to Puerto Prinsesa who requires affordable, cozy, and just a walk away from the town proper, I highly recommend this place. For details, the photo below is their contact information or you can visit their website <a href="http://www.palawanjosefinaspension.com/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And yes, they're the one's who organized everything from accommodations and overall tour! (How cool is that??)</div>

<b>CELEBRATING HER DAY</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make up of our lost time during the 10 hour hiatus in the airport, I decided to grant her wish of having a simple dinner at one of the best restaurants in town. Thus, I brought her to Puerto Princesa's <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/Restaurant_Review-g294257-d1762677-Reviews-Badjao_Seafront-Puerto_Princesa_Palawan_Island_Palawan_Province_Mimaropa.html">Badjao Seafood Restaurant</a>. It's actually a walk away from Josefina's Pension, but for safety purposes (since it's evening), we opted to take a tricycle instead. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quite a stupid night for me, since I forgot to bring my DSLR with me that time. We only brought my iPhone, but I guess it's more practical being safe without equipments to worry too. Like I said, it's way much better if you can see these places by yourselves. </div>

I must say that the price is pretty fair for a 5 star seafood restaurant. Not as expensive than those seafood restaurants located in Manila. In Badjao Restaurant, you can enjoy the fresh breeze of the sea. You'll get fascinated by the awesome entrance as well as you pass by tons of <i>bakawan's </i>before you reach the restaurant proper. Probably the sunset views perfect there as well. Too bad we had our dinner so we never get to have a glimpse of the beauty outside the restaurant. Oh, don't forget the very skillful pianist who made our dinner more romantic! (We get to sing along as well ^^)</div>

<b>BEACH FUN AT HONDA BAY TOUR </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It's the second day of our Puerto Princesa adventure. Again, we were instructed by our tour guide to wait for them to arrive at 7:00 AM. We took our breakfast at 6:30 AM and the guide did arrived exactly 7:00 AM. Fascinating.<br />
<br />
We got the most witty guide on board for this trip. A prototypical pinoy whose got tons of humor up in his sleeves. But, we got the most boring company on board as well. Maybe because, most of them are <i>tropa</i>, that's why the others are not allowed to jive in their trip. That's fine though. My main goal is to make my lady happy at all cost :)<br />
<br />
We got our introductions and a few do's and dont's inside the van. One of the highlights of the instruction is that we are required to pass by a snorkeling gear rental shop and rent some gears that are strictly implemented for use in Honda Bay.<br />

Pambato reef is the place to go snorkeling. We were instructed to wear our snorkeling gears and enjoy the view from below. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second island is the Luli Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why Luli Island? It'sa combination of two Tagalog words which means <i>Lulubog</i> (sinking), and <i>Lilitaw</i> (will appear). In short, you can basically say it's a hide and seek island. The white sand will appear once it is low tide, and at high tide, will disappear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This island will probably the best spot to go fish feeding. There are tons of fishes swimming around you and is seeking for food. That's where your bread will play its role. The bread crumbs are their best snack.</div>

Next stop is Cowrie Island. The island hopping tour ends here. This is where tourists lunch are served. You can go have your photos taken, sunbathing, taking some snacks and other water activities are available. Absolutely awesome.<br />
<br />
Oh. We took here our best buffet lunch in Palawan ever.<br />

And as our stay at Cowrie concludes, we embarked again on our boat towards the wharf, board our van towards home. We arrived at 3:30 PM. Had a good slumber until 5 PM then ventured in to the city at around 6 PM trying to look for food.<br />
