: : carpe diem! : :



You only live once, so live & enjoy life to the fullest! Carpe Diem! Seize the day! This has been my on-going mantra for the past couple of weeks, & I must say, life is good! :-)

First off, my Palawan trip was great FUN! It was definitely an adventure from the very beginning right till the end...
~ Oct 28. We left Manila aboard a ferry & sailed through the night to Coron Palawan. We were a group of 12 - a hodgepodge of people from various depts who's game for anything - & I mean ANYTHING! And boy did we rock the boat! :-) We drank, danced, & were merry the whole night. Hehe. Pole dancing anyone? Although the pole wasn't exactly a pole but more of a pillar!
~ Oct 29. Arrived in beautiful Coron... The scenery was breath taking!!! We just checked in our luggages(did I mention that I had a lot!), changed into our swimsuits and headed back on a boat for island hopping galore. Sarap!!! No work! No worries! A day of swimming (though I can't swim), snorkelling(with my mini fins!), sight seeing, & a bit of trekking - & all with a splash of adventure written all over it. Night time was a whole different story... Hehe. Had my first taste of "bilog" & boy did I regret it the next day... But it's all good... Still FUN.
~ Oct 30. Another day of island hopping galore on our way to Calauit Island. GHOSTLY NIGHT at Calauit!!!!
~ Oct 31. Safari Ride!! Giraffe feeding! :-) Coulion Island, used to be a leper colony. The unending steps to the cross... And I'm not even religious! Makinit Lake. DRINKING TIME!!!
~ Nov 1. Buhbye Coron. Hello HOC! :-)
