Small Lagoon

Where: Miniloc Island, El Nido, Palawan
It was the first time that I did kayaking. The place was amazing. It felt like that I was in the Jurassic Era, as if anytime I Pterodactyl will just fly above the cliffs. There were small caves as well that one can explore.
It’s so wonderful that there are still secluded places such as this where Nature’s beauty reigns supreme and man’s modernity hasn’t tarnished it.

This Is A Starfish

Starfishes are pretty beings. We like holding them and even wish to bring them home. But thing is they can’t stay out of the water too long. During low tides, a lot of starfishes die because they dry up.
When we were in Vigan/Snake Island, it was low tide. We saw a lot of starfishes. Most were already dead and were stinky, smelled like rotten fish. But there were still some that we’re struggling to keep themselves alive. And like rescue workers, we tried to save as many as we can, brought them to deeper water.
Snorkeling

When: October 13, 2007
Where: Pangalusian Island, El Nido, Palawan
I don’t know how to swim. I’m scared to allow myself to float. I don’t like putting my head down underwater.
This was the first time I snorkeled, and if I hadn’t placed my head underwater I wouldn’t be seeing some lovely things under the water, I wouldn’t have found Nemo… (there were lots of clownfishes in El Nido)
The same thing is true in life, you have to do something you’re scared of in order to find things, lovely and wonderful things…
