KL-SG Trip: Hopping on-Hopping off

Heyah lovelies,!

Here’s the continuation of my KL-SG trip. I still have quite a few posts from our trip. I hope you enjoy them too~

KL-SG Trip: Conquering the Twin Towers

Hey lovelies! Here's the first post of my Malaysia-Singapore trip <3

I’ve loved travelling ever since I can remember.  I’ll definitely go backpacking without any itineraries or plans at all, just going with the flow someday. For the meantime though, let’s just stick with the conventional way of travelling. Once a year, my family goes on a major vacation. This year is a bit special because this will be our first out-of-the-country trip  <3 Originally our plan was Hong Kong-Macau but some unexpected things came up so we opted for a Malaysia-Singapore trip instead.

Life: After a year...

I can't believe I haven't updated my blog for almost a year now >.< So many things have happened during that 1 year.

 How to start with my updates? Probably the most major change that I've went through is that I got a job and got a feel of what the world outside of school is like. It was quite hard and frustrating at times but I really did enjoyed that worthwhile experience and it's paid well too! :))) After five weeks *yay* I've got the certificate and I can add the credential to my resume <3 I'll get the paycheck soon too :) WOOT Enjoyed and got paid, I loved fruitful and productive summer days~

                                          The certificate, after five weeks. Ah it feels so good :)

Travel: Sagada, Mt.Province

Our last trip before summer vacation ended and school officially began, was in Sagada, Mountain Province. Sagada is famous for its caves and water falls. It is a thirteen hour drive from Manila. We left at around 10:00pm, we were bound for Banaue first, where the famous hand made rice terraces is located. We pass through several province like Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, and Nueva Vizcaya. The ride was okay but I didn't get much sleep because I wasn't use to sleeping on a moving vehicle (I prefer my soft bed, thank you very much ^_^) but I did get may be an hour or two of shut eye. After 10 hours of driving we finally arrived at Banaue around 7:00 am in the morning. This was what greeted us :)

Travel: El Nido, Palawan Island Hopping

El Nido is a 6 hours drive from Puerto Princesa. It's like Manila to Baguio :). The long drive is definitely worth it when you arrived. Let me tell you, El Nido isn't like Boracay. It's a place where you can relax, enjoy and be one with nature while in Boracay it's more like parties and events. The main beach in El Nido is so-so. What you want to do when you go there is Island Hopping. There are 4 island packages there but the most popular one is tour A so that's what me and my family opted for.

We arrived at El Nido around 6:00pm, too late for island hopping so we decide that we'll just have it the next day. The tour started at 9:00am, it's a whole day trip because you'll be visiting 5 attractions. The first one in Package A is the Small Lagoon.

Travel: Puerto Princesa, Palawan Underground River

We started the day early since our tour van fetch us at around 7:00 am. One thing that you should know about me is that I'm not a morning person, seriously I start my day at around 12:00 in the afternoon already so I don't like waking up early so I'm a little bit grumpy.LOL. Anyway It's a 2 hours drive from Puerto Princesa City proper to Sabang, where the underground river is located. We arrived at Sabang at 10:00 am, our tour isn't until 2:00pm so we have a lot of time to spare. The tour guide brought us to a nearby beach resort, Parao Beach, where we can swim and eat until our Underground tour and boy, the place is gorgeous! Look!

Travel: Arrival in Palawan, Philippines

My first post for my Palawan summer vacation!

We left for the airport at around 1:00pm our flight isn't until 4:00pm but my mom, always the early bird, wanted us to be at the airport two hours before our flight and since our house is like 15-30 minutes away from the airport, we were there around 1:25pm but luckily they were already checking in our flight so we checked in and bought some snacks. Me and my little brother were both bored out of our wits so I opened my laptop and we watched Harry Potter but then he got bored so we switch to Wanted. Before we knew it, it's already time to board our plane. As always my little brother got the window seat but it's okay since I'm a really really a nice older sister :).
