PALAWAN: Day 1

Hello, friends! It's been a while since I've written a post... and this is actually my 2nd official post here, Lol. Anyways, last March 16th to 18th, I was in a school trip to paradise... I mean, Palawan. It honestly didn't feel like a school trip. It felt like I was just with my friends since everything was chill- including the teachers.

Pre-departure:
Call time: 4am.

(Jade and I arrived a few minutes shy of 4am-but didn't get left behind by the bus. Thank God.) We had no sleep. At all. We've actually planned on sleeping at least for a few hours but we ended up playing. Typical us.

We also planned on taking pictures the whole way there but somehow, my charger decided to just stop working and we were left with 12% of battery and she didn't bring anything for us to take pictures with and it was all up to me and my poor, tired iPhone.

Airport:

At the airport, I was literally shaking. My feet were cold (partially my fault- wore sandals). Honestly, I get so excited about airports! I'm not really sure why, though, Maybe because I knew I was somehow escaping my reality for something new... (how deep!! lol)

My plane ticket to Palawan via Cebu Pacific. 

 My phone finally had juice when I took that photo- all thanks to Mikay Elloso! Thank God for friends! :)

Arrival:

The flight was smooth and fine. Some first time flyers were being noisy, especially those people sitting by the window- they were extra noisy but the sky was really pretty that day too so I guess it was ok to be noisy(?) since they were obviously amazed by something they've seen for the first time.

With Paul Nieves, who was my seat buddy the whole flight to Palawan and then back home.

A picture of Jade and I with the airplane behind upon arrival! Yay!

We were immediately told to change to our swimming clothes since we were gonna go Island Hopping immediately. The first island we visited was Cowrie Island.

Cowrie Island:

The two sunken Chinese ships we saw on the way to Honda Bay/Cowrie Island.

Luli Island:

I had the most fun here! The water was hella deep but then again, I know how to swim. LOL! This was our snorkeling spot and there were lots of fish and some corals. I swam without my vest so I had to keep afloat and hurt my sprain by so much paddling in the water. There was also a diving board there so I jumped (I have no idea how to dive, if I did, it'd probably end up as a belly flop). I didn't have much pictures here cause my phone decided to sleep again and I was in the water most of the time so there was no time for pictures.

Citystate Asturias Hotel

After island hopping, we went straight to the hotel. I honestly don't remember much. Lol. But we always swam and the girls and I were always taking pictures. lol

This is it fro day 1, I guess. Toodles! x
