Club Paradise Resort (Coron, Palawan)

Day 1 - Club Paradise (Coron, Palawan) Day Tour

One of those Island Resorts that occupies the whole island! (Same as Sumilon Bluewater Resort in Southern Cebu). A really nice resort offering not only water activities like snorkelling and diving but also land activities like hiking and bird watching. Like in Sumilon, I believe a day in the resort would be more than enough though. We found guests sunbathing and sleeping by the pool with nothing else to do,. Specially on that day when waves were 4 to 5 ft. high. A couple of my companions went diving but they said that visibility was really poor due to the raging waters. I wanted to go snorkelling but found it really hard to get pass the shore line. And so we settled for the pool (6 ft. deep). On a good day though, their house reef is said to be beaming with marine life, and if you're really lucky, you might just catch a Dugong (Seacow, a large marine mammal) feeding by the reef. If you want privacy and are looking to laze away time, this resort is perfect for you.

January Stop (Coron, Palawan)

Coron, Palawan !!!

After years of contemplating to go to the northern part of Palawan, I finally did last January 3 to 6, 2009! With tourism in the area just starting to build up, food, transportation, and hotel rates are still quite high, but i tell you, it's all worth it! It's mother nature at her finest coupled with friendly and hospitable owners, guides, and staffs.


Some firsts on this trip:

• Stroked a giraffe
• Saw a porcupine
• Swam in raging waves
• Swam in a lake (fresh water) and at the beach on the same day.
  
• Snorkeled in a lake
• Saw a transparent Shrimp at work.
• Banana Flambe ala Vicky (Big hit!)
  
• GSM Blue + Minute Maid Orange

Clean Off Your Workspace!

January 14 is National Clean Off Your Desk Day!

I don't know if it's true but my journal says so. What a good thing to put in a journal ei! Thankfully, I did my desk and room cleaning before the New Year began. It's customary for Japanese companies to ask their employee to clean off their workplace before taking a break for the New Year's and I think I acquired the habit from them. Not to mention that my mom would nag me about it as well. hahaha (^^;)

American Idol

American Idol TV Schedule

As a new year starts, everyone can look forward to American Idol!  The 2009 season is starting on January 14, 2009.  I just realized that I haven't been watching any Star World programs lately.  Well, that will change starting this week as I find Star World's TV schedule for American Idol the most accommodating, with a live telecast and reruns at 18:00, 20:00, and 23:00.  I remember a friend telling me once before that due to lack of interesting programs in other channels, he actually watched the show 3 times in one night! hehehe (^^;)

For those who don't have Star World, I think you can still catch the program in ABC 5.
