Life of fashion, culture and adventure

Enough is enough... With my sadness and disappointments with Airphil Express' service. It's time to move on and think of happy thoughts. Let us fly with gladness and cherish good times and exciting adventures in life. So, that said, let me share my Coron, Palawan experience with Labsy (hubby), brother Nonots and his wife Helen, though we normally call her Kels (long & funny story behind the nickname, perhaps will share it next time). It was our plan to have a relaxing getaway this time. Not the usual, amazing-race-like-adventure that we normally do because we lack time and we want to cover everything. This time, we allotted ample time to enjoy nature and the town of Coron. Before deciding where to stay in Coron, I've checked a few websites for references. We were looking for an affordable place since we will be staying for a while, seven (7) days that is. Besides the regular hotels, inns and pension houses, there were transient homes being offered.Transient homes...

It's 2011!!! Happy New Year!!! Another new year has just started and it feels like the year that has been hadn't really went away just yet. Lot of things happened and lots of places were covered last year... There were lots of amazing rides and lots of amazing stories to tell. Well, last one I told you about was our Manila trip with friends last October, the last stop after Baguio and Subic getaway. But the race didn't end there... Before I start talking about how I'm gonna start this year's journey and adventure, maybe I'll have to tell you all stories left unsaid... And will do, later...

The 3rd of the three-part-story would be this... Our Manila stop-over before goin' home to Davao a fter Baguio and Subic escapade.   Manila, the capital of the Republic of the Philippines. It was Alden, Em-em, Hilda and Judith's first time to visit Manila. So even with the little time that we have left, we managed to experience a little taste of Manila. When we arrived in Manila from Subic, we just went to our dorm for a quick cleanup and then went out for a late night comedy bar happenings... We then went straight to Quezon Ave. for Alan K's Klownz comedy bar, where their main set then was Ate Gay. It was a fun evening, everyone had a great time laughing out loud on every joke and punch lines thrown on stage. Then we went back to our dorm with a smile up to our ears and funny memories we can take home with. The following day (Oct 25, 2010), was Em, Alden, Judith and Hilda's day to go home, back to Davao. But before going to the airport, we went to Manila Cath...

Last of the four place/country stops we had, was Bangkok, Thailand. On August 22, 2010, we were booked at 10:00 AM from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok via Airasia Airlines ( www.airasia.com ). While at Malaysia's airport, I was talked to by the locals in a certain foreign tongue that I couldn't understand. I thought they were talking to me in a Malaysian language, but no, they weren't. They were talking in Indonesian language, because they thought I was Indonesian. Now I know which country I belong, lol...   Anyway, it was our first time to visit all four countries, but in all four of them, Thailand had the most friendly welcome parties. When we arrived, we knew what hotel to go to and somehow, we just planned to take a cab and let the driver deliver us there. But what surprised us was there were lots of agencies and agents, welcoming all travelers and assisted them in getting a hotel or a tour if they need and for us, an agent gave us a piece of paper with the nam...
