Coron, Palawan .... Paradise

Thank's Dermin for this heartwarming video :) it only reminds me a remarkable place that left inside my heart CALAMIANES ISLAND-CORON :) 

It's more likely about leaving in a hectic world ( haha!! nakaka-relate :) busy city, traffic,work, emails, work, phone calls and most of all WORK!!!) hmm All i know is that, We want to get away from all of this.. right!!? hahaha at ang galing mo nga dermz eh you choose best song pa for our video.:)

 Is it good sometimes to have time for ourselves, to chill, relax and reflect. Be thankful for all the blessing and still counting it!! don't forget to pause for a while and have time to appreciate the beauty.

Really a great song

Anyway, It's true that it's more fun here in the pinas :) my own version haha :)(picture above)

"Mula apari opps mali mula BATANES hanggang tawi-tawi nyahaha :)

This is one song I loved most, and would say that it's really touch my heart and INSPIRED me A LOT!! hehe, diba napaka-meaningful kasi nung lyrics kung pakikinggan mo :).

Well i admit it... nakakarelate talaga ako sa song na to hahaha :P it did happen to me a year ago.. and i know it's really hard to move on from the beginning naiiyak ako lagit at ang lungkot(WTFish! napapamura pa nga ko dati hehe)  but as time goes by mare-realized mo nalang at mapapasigaw ka pa sa sarili mo na yes, I DID iT!!! thanks mga superfriends ko nariyan kayo lagi hahaha!!

It made me realized that my journey for life must be continued no matter what happen .. maybe there are some good reasons behind it and only acceptance will counts!

when we loose somthing important, a better one comes along the way!! yahoo! I know kaya ko ito at tuloy parin ang buhay kahit masakit!!!

Mt. Tapyas Coron, Palawan

Wahh! super na-extend pa kami ng isang araw sa Coron!(Me, Leny, and Bestluck JJ) How sad 😢! our supposed 9 AM flight was delayed and later on na-cancel na due to some technical problem (DAW) ng plane and to makeup for the airline's inconveniences, we were given a free food and hotel accommodation plus a free ride pa from airport to the centro town which is Okey na sana kaso sobrang badtrip!! as in 😭 at my pasok pa kami kinabukasan WHY kaya? hmmm siguro may mga hindi pa kami nagagawa sa Coron 😜 LOL 

Mount Tapyas - Coron, Palawan (view from top) 

*think Misay, think!!! ouch.. OO nga! as per bestluck JJ nakalimutan nya raw bumili ng pasalubong at as per Leny gusto nya raw mapuntahan yung kubo sa  MT. TAPYAS and ME well, hindi ko pa naakyat ang MT. TAPYAS at isama pang may kaylangan kaming resbakan sa AMPHIBi-ko ang isang staff nila roon hahaha *just kidding! (well brutal term nga eh noh as in RESBAKAN hahahaa LOL pagbayarin ba naman kami almost 1K as in lahat kami take note!! pagbayarin ng mga utensils na hindi daw namin naibalik at matress na binutas daw namin duh!! as if naman na kinuha namin yun diba!! dadayo ba namn kami ng pagkalayo layo para lang mangulimbat ng mga kutsara at tinidor 😂

Naku ha!! need talaga irefund ng Amphibihiko yung mga binayad namin ko or else (mawawalan sila ng mga costumer in the near future kung ganyan sila). Kaya if I were you guys! if you're planning to go to Coron I wont suggest Amphibiko lodge. Period!

Maiba naman tayo sa aming lahat ako lang naman ang di umakyat sa MT. TAPYAS. (I made up my mind not to climb in Mt. Tapyas dahil nga ang taas-taas at di ko yata kakayanin 😂 and yet isa pa ako sa na kasama sa macancelled ang flight argh!! parusa ba talaga 😂 

mga sad face 😭 except si Joel mukhang siya lang ang masaya 😂

Maybe it is true that you won't leave Coron without visiting the famous Mt. Tapyas (one reason I guess why I needed to stay 1 day more in Coron haha just to conquer it). 

As soon as the van left us in the hotel we immediately went to Tapyas and my nightmare start! To those who don't know Mt. Tapyas is one of the popular destinations in centro town Coron and the main attraction is the big white cross plus you can see the view of the whole island. This viewpoint is really high that you have to walk up a lot of steps so don´t forget to take some bottled water with you. Wear comfortable shoes and breathable clothing because the mountain has 700+++ steps to reach the summit but once you’re on the top, embrace yourself for another breathtaking view of the coron bay.I recommend you to go there before the sunrise and sunset to catch the amazing view.

Me : MISSION ACCOMPLISHED at the foot of the cross
Main Highlights!!

Lusong Gunboat | Shipwreck Snorkeling - Coron, Palawan

The next stop was something that tickled my curiosity mind! THE TITANIC!!! 😂 hehe just kidding! Seriously speaking this post is all about shipwreck. According to our boatman (James) there were about 40 or more shipwrecks at the area but only a few of it were seen in Coron. Shipwreaks are scattered throughout the islands and some of it are still in one piece and completely intact. 

WOW! we captured it very well 😊

Banol & Coron Youth Club Beach, Calumbuyan Island

Nature is not a place to visit, it is home

:) It's true that nature is not just a place to visit like any famous places in the world.. It just as simple as what we called HOME :) where you find  your comfort zone , friends, love and serenity .

Another exciting day for me!! wondering what is waiting for me on the other side

Next destination Banol Beach :) It was soo beautiful, I saw limestone rock formation and different kinds of cottages (KUBO kung baga hehehe!) this is bulit for excursionist for them to have a place to stay. I noticed also a small store in the island where you can buy chips and drinks...It has small stretch white beach that is enough for us to stroll and hang around for the next few minutes of stay.. :) Some of my friend decided to have a quick nap of one of the cottages, while me and Leny of course Lol :P we roamed around the beach looking for a great view that will fits on our picture perfect souvenir hahaha so  it's time to click and flick!! :)  haha ito na ang tinatawag na paitiman :P 

Approaching Banol Beach  and all I can say is WoW! :) 

SIETE PICADOS, BARRACUDA LAKE & TWIN LAGOON

This is the continuation of my Coron escapade, My second part of continuous journey!. I have my previous post before and if you haven't yet  read the first one, click here. ☚ 

We started the day having a breakfast in Amphibiko lodge. Breakfast time to start the adventure! right?😉 So I had a small serving of Cornsilog which is a short term for Corned beef, sinangag (fried rice) and pritong itlog (fried egg) plus a cup of kapeng barako that somehow helps complete my meal! then off to another expedition(but seriously I'm still GUTOM!! haha gutum much!)

Chitchat for a while 😊 enjoying the cool breeze coming from the veranda 

Off into the ocean and we went to our first stop SIETE PICADOS: We went snorkeling there and I was so delighted to see different kind of fish, especially the stripe one! I like it so much! Many of it like to swim with me too but I was just at the stairs holding my lifevest (takut eh!) 😂. The boatman told us not to step on the bottom because there are many sea urchins laying or hiding on to the corals so better be careful guys! (it is bit scary! right? but because I am not a good swimmer, it's okey for me to staying afloat hehe. All in all we just spend 30 minutes in that place taking pictures and exploring the place.

Siete Picados: They said  it was one of the greatest snorkeling spot

KAYANGAN LAKE & MAQUINIT HOT SPRING - Coron, Palawan

We had our trip last February 16-20 this year. My friends and I rode on Cebu Pacific to Busuanga and availed of DIY Coron's service. BB my officemate is the one who made all the effort to make this trip worth a cent. DIY arranged everything for us (don't know how much we cost for that haha basta enjoy ok na Lol :P) services include airport transfer, lodging, boat trips, fees, breakfast an lunch during the tours, merienda ( which is maruya and softdrinks) :) haha everything except for the airfare and DINNER!!.

We're here!!

From the minute we landed into Busuanga Airport, they took care of everything. With banner pa nga hehe as a warm welcome haha. We were picked up by Kuya mabait (forgot his name) hahaha with his white van and drove us to Amphibi-ko lodge where we will stay.

 

Amphibi-ko lodge is just  a couple of steps away from the port area..:P  hmm really accessible hehehe.

The more the merrieR!! :P Cost sharing Lol  :) 

CORON, PALAWAN, Philippines....♥!!

The title itself shows what I wanted to tell, I heart Coron. I fell in love with this place and I'll surely be back and explore more of it!! After my Camiguin escaped last year, I will consider this also as one of my favorite summer getaway. :) hehehe

It is true that "It's more fun in the Philippines" and I could say that one of the must see destinations here in our country is Coron Island located in the Northern part of Palawan and just less than an hour boat ride from the centro town. Can you imagine travelling in a crystal clear blue water with the cool breeze of air coming into the ocean and blowing your hair off ...ahhhh! what a nice vacation..!!!.

Hmm to start with, thanks to my officmate BB for giving me an opportunity to joined with them. :) well, I know our tour package, itinerary and accommodation was made by DIY coron. We stayed 3 days and 2 night at Amphibi-ko Lodge in a deluxe room, with aircon and personal sized ref. ooh I forgot we have small TV too. Bathroom was clean and well kept, but the water coming from the heater was slow plus dumumi. Free toiletries such as tissue paper,2 pcs small soaps (hena de pravia soap) hahaha and a towel. In terms of services hmmmm i might give them 50 % rate. Free breakfast and lunch. It took them so long to preape the food. We were not satified with with the servings at super to the maximum level ang bagal.

/Our room is in the 2nd floor where you can see the  mountains and the  ocean/

I would like to share it with you guys how beautiful Coron is. Places we've been for 4 days was  soo awesome!. Kayangan lake is indeed beautiful, we had to climb up the slippery trail, and it was exhausting (sobrang taas ng mga steps) whaaa i almost give up but when I saw the the mountains  duh! and the lake was worth it, went swimming, very relaxing. Had lunch (super kain kargador ) haha mga hungry monsters.I love the maquinit hotspring and even though we just stayed there for 30 minutes i guess.. lol i still like it :).. by the time we went there the weather is gone bad.. heavy rains poured on us.. bad timing. Good thing water in maaquinit was really hot,comparable to a hot wet sauna, which relieved our tired muscles. But the sides of the pool were full of moss!! (di bagay sa mga maarte na ayaw ng lumot)
