El Nido and Puerto Princesa Trip

After visiting the Batak Tribe in Nanabu Roxas, we took the chance to explore El Nido and Puerto Princesa. Who wouldn't want to take that chance to see another masterpiece? 😍😍

tour about to start

Clear waters.

This is my favorite spot of the boat.💦

I always see to it that I swim, swim, swim. Don't leave Palawan without swimming and snorkeling but don't touch the fish, don't destroy their place. We're just visitors. 😍

Food. Seafood. Shrimp. I'm a shrimp-er so don't blame for eating a lot.🌊

Puerto Princesa in Three Hours

From El Nido, we arrived in Puerto after dark and has planned nothing the next day noting that our flight is at eight. So Ate Bing suggested that we do a city tour. Goodness gracious one of us was able to get the contact number of the tricycle driver we rode in that night. 😼

Yes. A tricycle is all you need. For P800.00 we were able to tour around the place roughly for about three hours. We went to Palawan Wildlife and Rescue Conservation Center, Butterfly Eco Garden and Tribal Village, Hacienda Mitra / Mitra's Ranch, and Baker's Hill. 🐾

BUTTERFLY ECO GARDEN AND TRIBAL VILLAGE

This kind of house is really relaxing to the eyes.

Amazed that they have their own language.

Thank you for preserving the culture and tradition of these beautiful people with us.

HACIENDA MITRA

What a family! and what a mansion!

Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing this view.

What a life the Mitras have!

BAKER'S HILL

ako gihapon nag gunit sa selfie stick 😶

Love them ladies 💋

Lovelife, come fast! Me bored na! 😂😆

Then again, there are even more beautiful photos to show but I'll keep them to myself and to my friends. You need to go to the place to see more of it. You'll surely be left in awe. And I think we have differing opinions. But I must say, that the whole Palawan trip was splendid. Thank you Jesus.

Salamat Koyaaaa 💓

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku) While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website . 2. Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno) This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey. Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo. 3....

Favor! As I was preparing to apply for this job, I felt that certain peace and assurance that this would go well. True enough, I got shortlisted for an interview. But it wasn't only an interview, there was also a written exam and a teaching demo. All happened in one day. Then the waiting starts. Two months to be exact. This position isn't always available. It's uncertain how many teachers the city would accept in a year. And a lot of us would want to get in. The perks and benefits that come along this direct employment are something foreign workers are longing to have. Then they called me and told me I was first on the waitlist. We were all put on the waitlist. I heard there were over a hundred applicants. Less than half got called for an interview. Then about twenty were considered for the position. But it was still uncertain how many of the twenty will successfully sign a contract. Another week passed when I finally received a mail. It was the contract package. Then they ...

But Before Summer

Today, I held back my tears as I was watching my student hitting his head while saying, 'Atama ga warui' which literally means 'My head is bad'. The more precise translation would be 'I'm stupid' or 'I'm dumb'. The students were using their school provided tablets to do some listening tasks and yet this particular student was just carelessly tapping the screen, opening random school apps. So I approached him and tried to help him navigate the school portal. And as soon as we could open his digital workbook, I left him so he could find the pages and the audio file on his own. I went around the class to help the other kids. But I would from time to time check on that student at a distance. Then not long, he started hitting his head again and repeatedly telling himself 'I'm dumb'. It was so painful to watch. But then suddenly one classmate sitting next to him stood up and helped him and another one followed. I was moved by such sight. H...
