30 Magical Points in Palawan

1. Like in Vigan, Puerto princesa's locals mostly go around town in tricycles.

2. Street lights, water systems and good road are lacking especially ones away from the city.  Going for a night trip to El Nido from Puerto Princesa? Then you'll know what I'm talking about.

3. No wonder Nemo's hard to find.  Sooo small. Smaller than you think it is.

4.  Fact: El Nido will take your breath away.

5.  It's Lord of the Rings fan days again.

6.  I once thought I wouldn't dare swim with fishes.  But there I was, feeling like being surrounded by cute preschoolers.  I wanted to hug them all! haha

7.  Don't know how to swim?  Don't worry, if you got your big goggles with you then that would double as floaters.  Believe me it's like having floaters on your head without looking like a wuss.  The next best thing to underwater camera.

8. The underwater camera.  The best thing you'll ever have in the beach. The picture explains why.

9.  Stick to the resto you KNOW serves good food.  Don't wallow and get curious to check on others.  There wouldn't be a rave online for no reason.  Save yourself the time, money and from disappointments.  Go eat good food.

10.  The road to adventure is squishy and green.  Makes you want to think what you did wrong for you to be forced to walk through all these goo!  

11.  Too much of exploration could get you pretty snotty and sick.

12.  Spending few hundreds for a whole day city tour IS possible.

13.  Hotel staff will make your stay easy breezy, from getting tricycles, having underground reservations, booking bus slots, and a lot more. You can't help but smile and give them chocolates for being so bloody helpful.

14.  Low quality bird's nest = egg soup.

15.  The cheapest food could sometimes turn out to be the best food in the whole trip.  Go vietnamese bahn mi!

16.  Eat the nastiest dish last. You'll forget what goodness you've eaten the entire day.  Boo tamilok!

17.  Sometimes you'll see Jurassic park.

18.  Sometimes Halong bay.

19.  What you thought as sparkles in the sea are just bunch of luminescent jellyfishes.  

20.  That there is no such thing as too much photos.  The limit just doesn't exist, even taking bunch of pictures of the same damn thing still makes you feel excited.

21. You can never have enough of selfies in a day.

22.  The beach is not only a place to swim, it's also a place to be "dramatic".

23.  Go ahead, touch nature.

 

24.  Whenever you see a chance to play on the trampoline, always always ALWAYS grab that opportunity.

25. My mother is beautiful. Inside out y'all. Inside out. 

26. The family who argues with each other is a normal family, the only family I know who doesn't is The Brady family.

27.  You can be a stranger to your own land.

28.  That you can still smile even if you just slammed your back on the wall of limestone.

29. You CAN hide fear.

30. The family that does crazy things together, is crazy.
