Coron, Palawan: Reefs, Lakes, Wrecks, and Lagoons

Palawan is known for scenic landscapes and seascapes. Coron, a large municipality, has about 50 small islands comprising the eastern half of Busuanga in the northern part of Palawan. (Thank you wikipedia) It is halfway in-between of Puerto Princesa and Metro Manila. There are so many things you can do here especially if you're into water activities: Diving, Snorkeling, etc. And since we only had 3 days, our 2nd day went to island hopping.

Chiang Mai, Thailand: Temples and Pandas

Chiang Mai is known for mountain trails and trekking but being the newbie, we chose to explore more on the cultural side. The reason why we picked it in the first place was to discover things that we don't (or we won't) see in the PH. For one, temples. I have always been fascinated with temples because of the rich history behind it.

2014 Resolutions

Writing reminds me of dieting. It's an on-off habit i've developed ever since I discovered the internet. I started blogging during the age of Xanga, until I switched to Blogger. Last time I opened a blog was back in college wherein we were obliged to write something substantial about our thesis. Blah blah blah i'm already bored. So what makes me write again?

"I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night, blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs, experience fear, excitement, wonder. I wanted kicks -- the kind of melodramatic thrills and chills I'd yearned for since childhood, the kind of adventure I'd found as a little boy in the pages of my Tintin comic books. I wanted to see the world - and I wanted the world to be just like the movies. 

Unreasonable? Overromantic? Uninformed? Foolhardy? Yes!"
