Journey to Puerto Princesa City Part 2

Ang sarap ng gising namin kase ang ganda ng accomodation sa CFBB . ang tour time namin starts at 7:00am so breakfast sa hotel by 6:30am, nadisappoint ako kasi mataas ang expectation ko sa food haha!! fresh fruits, milo hot drink, sandwich, and 4 season flavored juice. Underground River Tour package 'yung inavail namin and I guess tama lang kasi 'yun naman talaga gusto namin puntahan...

Naenjoy ko 'yung travel papunta sa PPUR. Because super kulit ni Ate (I forgot her name) super kwela and ang daldal (super sanay makipagconnect sa tao). Parang roller coaster ang van na sinakyan namin kasi late na kami, hahaha! Sabang Port, then boat going Cave, it takes about 10-15minutes, maeenjoy mo na din yung sceneries papunta and the clear water.. :D

Before kami pumasok sa loob ng cave, of course may safety precautions na reminders. Natawa ako when our tour guide told us, "...dalawa lang ang classifications ng liquid particle na babagsak from the top of the cave, its either HOLY WATER or HOLY SHIT..." because of the bats, the pee and pee and pee :DDDD. Zero visibility pag walang ilaw sa loob. Exciting and amazing! Lagi ko nalang sinasabi everytime may nakikita kami, "...WWOOOOWWW!!!.." hahaha!

After the tour inside the cave, buffet lunch naman sa Taraw Beach Resort, actually ang ganda din ng view dun, and nag enjoy naman ako sa foods :D

Then, the time gave us permit so nagka chance ako na mag rock spelunking sa Tagabinet. :D
Super exciting and ang bait nung mga tao dun sayang lang kase wala ng zipline nung bumisita kami.. :D

Here are the pictures: ENJOY

After a very tiring and suoer sayang araw time to relax naman! So 'yung relaxation ko BAR HOPPING hahaha!!! We saw Tiki Bar and Resto sister company ng hotel na tinuluyan namin. The rates? Hmmmm just like bar along San Miguel By the Bay in MoA..But that's ok I love the place! :D

So alam niyo na where the word TIKI came from??? :DDD

So nung pabalik na kame ng Manila, WTF!!! more than 3 hours delayed Zest Air... :D and hindi sila marunong mag apologize sa mga passengers nila ahh.. :D

Journey to Puerto Princesa City Part 1 (May, 2011)

T'was summer (2011) when I decided to travel in Puerto Princesa City. Actually kaya din natuloy kasi nagka promo din ang Zest Airways so  yun P2,052.00 roundtrip na (not bad) hahaha! So 'yun I keep on researching about Puerto Princesa and I saw St. Paul Subterranean River or most popularly known as Puerto Princesa Underground River. Nominated pa pala 'to sa New 7 Wonders of Nature (and nasa Top 7 na siya).

So here's the story line :)

First time ko din to ride in a Zest Air Plane, and based on reviews na nabasa ko "DELAYED" daw so medyo na curious ako.. 3:30pm flight namin nun eh based on experience, ON-TIME naman. 4:45pm na when Z2 420 landed in Puerto Princesa Airport.

Casa Fuerte Bed and Breakfast kami nakapag book and the driver fetch us outside the airport.  6:00pm na kami nakarating sa hotel kasi inantay pa 'yung isang batch ng travellers via Cebu Pacific.

Rate: P1,500.00 and up

Ang sarap mag relax sa ganitong ambiance! pero ang malaking problema? ang lamok talaga :DDD

So if you're going to stay here, don't hesitate na tumawag sa front desk for Mosquito Repellent Spray hahaha!!

HONDAGUA, LOPEZ QUEZON and KAMAY NI HESUS in LUCBAN QUEZON

Hondagua Lopez  Quezon, province where my father came from..

Uhmmm ano ba meron dun? madame.. hahaha! fresh fishes, beaches, Skates (modes of transporation along the riles) hahaha.. what else? great and kind people, actually kilala naman yung Manalo Clan dun.

Maraming beses na din ako pumunta dun especially Vacation, since I was a kid.

But you know what? 2011 is one of the most memorable and exciting visit I ever had.

Why? here..

First Part:

When my Tita asked me kung gusto ko daw mag volunteer for a medical mission, no doubt I said "yes!"

First time ko din kase yun and besides I want to help din naman :). So it was an easy job for me :D taga input lang ako ng data ng mga pasyente with the use of my laptop.. Sobrang successful nung mission :D

then umuwe kame with a smile :) Kase alam namin na in a little way, malaking bagay na din yun sa kababyan namin.

Second Part:

Kauuwe ko lang from my High School reunion when my father asked me if I wanna go to Hondagua again, whew! may hang over pa ko that time, and what makes me more interested to go back is when my bayaw told me na yung motor gagamitin namin for break in! Whoaaahhh!! So yun na nga papunta palang the estimated time travel is 9hours kase 40KPH lang ahahah!!! Super nangitim ako but I enjoyed a lot! 

Here are the pictures!

(Off to Manila, by the way nasa Bituka ng Manok Road kami nito)

Sorry for not so good camera shot! :D

(Motorcycle that I used during my 2nd visit in Hondagua)

(What the???? Sobrang init that time)

(Papunta at pabalik we stopped over here)

(When I was a kid, super naniniwala ako nagiging tao tong sirenang to.. hahaha!)

(I was here! hahaha.. sulit ang pagod :D)

BOHOL JANUARY, 2011

Bohol? Una ko 'tong narinig sa teacher ko nung elementary sa subject ko na HEKASI. (way back year 1997) hahaha! and as a child curious ako kung ano meron dun lalo na when my teacher discussed all about Bohol Province and its tourists attraction.. Actually, dalawa lang naman yung spots na I guess super interesting eh, yung Chocolate Hills and yung Tarsier :D. I tell myself na someday makakapunta ako dun...

January, 2011 

My friend and I decided to go in Bohol to spend a memorable vacation there. T'was raining there a week before our travel date. So bothered ako kase I heard muddy yung daanan especially going up to Chocolate Hills. Luckily, sa mismong araw ng travel namin sobrang maganda yung weather. Ang airline na sinakyan namin is the AirphilExpress. (That was my first time to ride in an airplane so sobrang excited ako). 4 hours before the time of our departure when we arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. Super excited? hahaha!

(my first time in NAIA Terminal 3)

(AirphilExpress in Tagbilaran Airport)

So nag stay kame sa Matig-a Seaside Pensione, and I must say ok naman dun kaso, unlike other hotels sobrang simple lang niya. I like the hospitality nung nasa front desk nila. :)

(Room Rate: 1,200 and up)

Tip for the Travellers:

There are lots of Cars, Vans, Motorcycle and even Habal-Habal to be hire outside Tagbilaran Airport. But be smart! the cheaper the better:) Mura lang naman ang cost of living sa Bohol.. I'm sure you'll love to go back once you tried it!

I must say that Bohol is one of the place in the Philippines!

Friendly and Kind People!

We'll go back after a year!

for a Panglao Island Tour :))
