Date: 04/14/2024
 


Rise and shine, fellow adventurers! Day 3 of our Balabac Palawan expedition was set to be a day of island hopping bliss, and we started it with an early wake-up call at 2 am. Despite the early hour, our excitement propelled us as we prepared for what lay ahead.

 
At 2:30 am, we eagerly awaited the arrival of the VAN service that would escort us to Buliluyan Port in Balabac. The journey was filled with anticipation as we discussed the adventures to come.
 

Arriving at Narra canteen, we indulged in a super early breakfast, fueling ourselves for the day's adventures. Energized and ready to go, we reached Buliluyan Port around 7 am, where we registered at the tourism office and eagerly awaited the passenger boat that would transport us to Balabac.

 

After boarding the passenger boat, the excitement heightened as we transferred to a tourist boat amidst the vast ocean. The gentle sea breeze and the tranquil surroundings created a sense of serenity as we embarked on our Balabac Island Tour 1.

 
Our first stop was at Canimeran Island, where we relished a delicious lunch amidst the stunning natural beauty that enveloped us. The flavors of the meal paired perfectly with the breathtaking views, truly a feast for the senses.
 

Next, we made our way to Patawan Island, where we treated ourselves to a satisfying combination of noodles and vanilla coke. As we enjoyed this delightful snack, we also took the opportunity to settle the remaining tour balance, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

 

Continuing our island hopping adventure, we arrived at Sicsican Island, our base for the day. We checked in and participated in a comprehensive orientation to familiarize ourselves with the tour offerings and safety guidelines.

 
As the evening descended upon us, we savored a delicious dinner at Sicsican Island, indulging in a delectable meal that showcased the local flavors of Balabac. Each bite was a celebration of the island's culinary offerings.
 

After dinner, we freshened up, allowing the cool sea breeze and the rhythmic sounds of the ocean to lull us into a peaceful slumber. Our bodies and minds were ready for the excitement that awaited us on the following day.

 

With the island hopping adventure officially underway, we eagerly anticipated what the rest of our Balabac Palawan exploration had in store. Stay tuned for more breathtaking sights, thrilling experiences, and memorable moments as we continue to uncover the treasures of this tropical paradise!

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his...

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Image
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou...

I ♥ Pundaquit Zambales 03/27/2011

Image
Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't...
