Hola, Candy Girls!
I am back from the beautiful island of Palawan—tanned, golden, and loving my new color! My blockmates and friends have been constantly bugging me about my uhm, skin tone because I seriously look so dark, they kid around that I should smile just so they could see something white.
Why thank you for the mockery. Good to know I have great friends. :|Â Just kidding!
My cousin and I were roommates in Dos Palmas for 3 days and 2 nights. And for those days of pure bliss, we sucked up all the sun, went kayaking, had a massage (and refused to laugh out loud because we’re both so ticklish), and ate so much it’s a miracle the airline didn’t charge us for excess baggage.
I am actually quite guilty though because of all things that I could forget, I forgot my digicam (que horror). It was some last-minute packing and I really don’t cram so well (I forgot my sunglasses, too!). So I apologize for my lack of pictures.
I wish I could bring all you girls in Palawan. The place is amazing! Although, I do honestly believe that Boracay sand is just insanely awesome (no contest), the serenity and peacefulness of Palawan is something you will NEVER ever get in Manila.
It was quite funny though because I was still studying while I was getting a tan. I had two long tests due, so you could just imagine the irony that an 18-year old clad in a bikini was busily flipping notes for Psychology and Spanish while overlooking the sea. And yes, the sea does inspire you. Surprisingly, I was actually able to study and I got my results the other day. I was able to get above average scores! Booyah!
Palawan has that effect! =))
After the last night in Palawan, I seriously was considering chaining myself to the bedpost because I had no intention of flying back home. But then again, I’m here writing this post for you girls so yes, that didn’t work out so well now, didn’t it? LOL
Aboard the plane, I was still flipping through my index cards (my aunt was disgusted), when a young man went in front of the plane, grabbed the microphone, and proposed to his girlfriend in front of all the passengers.
I died out of kilig. It was such a Kodak moment!
Too bad I didn’t bring my camera (I am still so bitter!)
Regardless of my lack of packing abilities, I still had a wonderful time in Palawan. No words can encapsulate such a terrific getaway and I highly recommend that you at least get to see the wonders of your own country. We do live in a beautiful country and it’s about high time that you amaze yourself with such great scenery! Forget Hong Kong, Singapore, or Vietnam!
Fly and experience Pilipinas!
Sun, Sand, and Sea,
Sandra
