Life of fashion, culture and adventure

My next blog is supposedly about our adventure blast in Coron, Palawan. But before I give you the good part of the journey, let me tell you a warning about an airline's way of handling canceled flights situation.  Our flights last June 7, 2012, inbound Coron, DVO-MNL & MNL-USU were both okay. Although our MNL-USU seemed to be a bit scary for some of the passengers. I was mostly asleep within the flight time, but was already awake when the pilot announced he cannot see the runway and will try to go around. Next thing I know, we have landed and the instant that we did, most of the passengers were loudly clapping and cheering for gladness. I asked Labsy if the flight was bumpy, and he said yes, so I thought, "Thank God" we've safely arrived. Some of the passengers even took pictures with the Captain and congratulated him and his Co-Pilot for a job well done. Well, I'll be telling you about our great and not so great times in Coron next time, but for now, let...

@ Viewing deck January 23, 2011 came. Labsy's 33rd birthday. Last year, Labsy spent  his 32nd birthday alone while in Dubai. We were online on skype or YM, and I saw him celebrating his birthday with noodles. :( So I thought, next year should be a little more special than being alone and away from the family with a bowl of noodle soup. This year, we met the 00:01 of January 23, 2011 in a dessert hangout in Katipunan, Manila, the Banapple, eating banoffee cake and drinking capuccino. Rested for the whole dawn and woke up early morning to go straight to the airport to head for an underground river and Palawan sea swim birthday extravaganza! Arriving in Puerto Princesa Our flight from Manila via  Cebu Pacific Air  arrived in Puerto Princesa at 9:00 AM. We wanted to visit the underground river in Sabang same day, since Doy and Lay will be leaving Palawan on the 25th (January), so they only have two (2) days to spare. Normally the tour to the underground river ...

Near Kidstown entrance in Sagbayan Peak, Bohol Bohol is a place next to home for me... Well, that said, I guess we need not count the times that I've been there. Mamo and Papo is so fond of their home place, why of course! But late November of last year (2010), Mom, despite our convincing schemes and pre-bought tickets, she did not join us on our Bohol trip. This time, me and Labsy, my neice ("Neneng"), my mother-in-law ("Ma Susing") and uncle-in-law ("Uncle Rudy or Manoy to most"), got our gears up and went to Bohol for a somewhat homecoming and some pleasure escapades. Checking In for MNL-TAG flight So, Nov 26, we all went to the airport for check-in. Me and Labsy were a little worried for Mama since she's half-paralyzed and so she is differently abled. She can walk though, but very slow and she could easily get tired walking. But when we reach to the check-in counter, and requested a wheelchair, there were no worries from then on, we ...

Still in Bacolod, now on our afternoon of the second day... After a full inasal lunch in Manukan Country, then a few buys in SM Bacolod, we called our taxi driver contact (by the way he was so kind and helpful and if you want his contact details, PM me) and agreed to a Php 600.00 whole afternoon going around the city and neighboring cities. First stop, Bacolod's Museum. It got us thinking, Mom actually blurted it out to us, that we have been visiting museums of the places we went to, but we haven't been to Davao's own museum. We answered, maybe we should set a schedule and visit it one of these days... That was November last year (2010), but until now, we haven't gone to the place since. :D We were greeted and welcomed by our tour guide, and mentioned the rules (where taking pictures are and not allowed). The museum was a collection of Bacolod's colorful history. We were in awe, as he mentioned the personalities who came from or who's ancestors are from Bac...
