November 2009
If this is not paradise..then it’s a place close to it, I murmured to myself one early morning while I was sitting at the balcony of The Alternative facing El Nido beach and sipping a precious cup of instant coffee that cost me Php50 ( but it’s only Php5 at the sari-sari stores).

Thank God I didn’t order any other food or else it ruined my budget! (more…)
El Nido is just one of my many unplanned trips. I hate planning my trips because when i really get excited, it always ends up being canceled. I was standing at the ticket booth still undecided…Busuanga, Boracay or Puerto??? Then I instructed the ticketing agent, “Book me for the cheapest flight to and from Puerto Princesa please”. 
By far, this is my saddest trip, personal reason I should say,so I tagged along one of my cheap lil teddy named LOVE so I won’t feel so alone. I’ve seen some travelers tag their lil toy w/ them (normally characters that loves to travel) whenever they travel and take their souvenir pictures on their destination. I find it cool! 
On the plane, I was assigned to sit beside a lady in her mid-30′s. (more…)
I see the beauty in the imperfect.
