here i am, back from my 6-day vaycay in palawan. i'm about 10 shades darker but it's cool. i'm glad my inner black is finally coming out. i always knew i was black in the past life. kidding ;) when they took a picture of me at night, i couldn't be seen unless a flash was put in. i'm THAT dark.

ok, enough about my skin tone. tomorrow is mikka's birthday so, happy birthday to her! i've kinda lost the concept of time. people back there sleep so early. most of the shops are closed by 7 so it feels so late into the night, but it's actually just 9:00 pm.

it was kinda boring, to be honest. we were there for 6 days, after all. palawan wasn't exactly the tourist destination it promised. there aren't that many places to go to. there's the croc farm, butterfly farm, iwahig prison, congressman's house overlooking the city, various restos, island hopping, underground cave, dos palmas, and el nido. if you have unlimited cash, you can do all this in 3 days-tops. and we were there for 6 DAYS so you can just imagine how much family fun we didn't have.

we stayed in this house just outside the city. nevertheless, it still takes 30 minutes to reach the city center. the tv in the house only has one channel-GMA. no wonder they have better ratings...people are practically left with no choice. in front of the house was this international motocross track. it was pretty cool, although no one was actually motocrossing. we only saw this one kid with a bicycle.

it was still fun, but dragged on a bit too long. i wouldn't put myself through that again. maybe when we go to el nido. :D
