Better in Real Life Than in Photos: The El Nido, Palawan Experience

May 12, 2015 by Anna — 21 Comments
Filed Under: Travel

Just got back from our annual beach trip, out of town, with my college friends. This year our destination was El Nido, Palawan. That’s after Cebu, Bohol, Boracay (unfortunately I didn’t get to join them). We’re slowly going around the Philippines, y’all! 😆

I only have seen Palawan, or its more popular destination, El Nido, in photos relating to Philippine tourism. I’ve always thought it’s impossible to go there. Well, a few years later, here we are!

It is as good as it is portrayed in photos, or in some videos (be it for a movie, or TV show featuring the place) but one thing is for sure: It is MUCH better seen in real life than in photos.

Not my usual TLDR post, nor it’s going to be as detailed.. but that’s what other serious travel blogs are for. 😉

Before I spoil you with photos that will hopefully convince you to head to a local airline website to book your future trip to this huh-mazing destination…. here’s some fun facts and whatnots from my experience, after the cut!

Lunch at Loboc Rivercruise Floating Restaurant

February 16, 2015 by Anna — 15 Comments
Filed Under: Travel

Right after we checkout from the beach, we jumped in the van to complete the rest of our day tour around Bohol. The thing is we haven’t had a decent meal since that morning during the island hopping tour. We were looking for a place to eat, and while the driver slash tour guide wasn’t very helpful with recommending us affordable places to eat (he kept showing us the expensive beaches along Panglao as we passed by), we somehow ended up in Loboc.. to the Rivercruise Floating Resto.

Loboc Rivercruise and Floating Restaurant

Initial fees: PHP 350 fee for the cruise and lunch buffet, PHP 100 for the entrance. A total of PHP 450/head and you can now join the group for a lunch buffet inside the boat for an hour and a half (or two?). Gonna be an afternoon of singing, eating and enjoying the spectacular views along the river. 🙂

An Overnight at Panglao Island, Bohol

February 13, 2015 by Anna — 8 Comments
Filed Under: Travel

My friends and I always make it a point that every year, during the summer, we go out of the city and explore a place somewhere in the Philippines. If our budget allows it, we’ll go outside the country. I think we can consider it a tradition since this is the third time to be a part of this. For the previous year, we went to Leyte and Bohol.

Trip Recap: Singapore

January 26, 2015 by Anna — 18 Comments
Filed Under: Travel

So.. Singapore. Where do I even begin with you? You were my final destination in my series of random overseas getaways last year. I had to make ends meet, get in touch with some people, just to make this trip push through. I almost backed out, too, if you knew the whole story. But I’m glad I didn’t.

Coming to Singapore on a solo 5-day trip wasn’t my original plan. I had it planned with a friend, but it didn’t push through. I had already backed out of a trip, I wasn’t about to waste more money. Besides, I’m always game for outside of the country trips. Somehow I trust other countries more than my own when it comes to safety.
