as early (or should i say, as late?) as december, i was scouting for places that we could go to for our HM. i didn’t look outside of the philippines because i wanted to explore our islands first before venturing out of the country. besides, my passport’s expired already and i thought it would be wasted if i renew it and after a month or two, have it renewed again (change of status, name, etc.).
top choices were bohol and palawan. so i searched the net and we finally decided on palawan. this was a last minute decision, we decided i think 2nd week of january already, when i booked our tickets. good thing PAL had tour packages that were really affordable. Cebu Pacific had some too but I wanted to use the new airport (which wasn’t really that new), so we chose the package offered by PAL.
We could have had a better time if it wasn’t raining so hard. When we got there, we took the city tour first. But it really was raining so hard, so we didn’t enjoy it as much as I think we were supposed to.
Second day, we took the Honda Bay tour c/o the hotel that we got (Legend Palawan) — a tour of the islands/island hopping. The islands were really beautiful, but it was raining so hard that instead of having it the whole day (which was what it was normally), we cut it short to about after lunch. It was difficult to snorkel while it was raining. The water got a little blurry/murky. We were with a couple of sexy English girls in this tour. Lunch was included in the tour also. At the hotel, I kidded my hubby on why he didn’t talk with the English girls. I told him he was being anti-social again. And I actually thought his answer was cute. He said he thought I would get jealous if he did. Hahaha. (i don’t think I’m the jealous type though)
We weren’t decided on whether we would take the Underground River tour. First, I think I’m a little claustrophobic and second we really didn’t want to go touring if it was raining again. We’d rather spend the day in bed. Hehe. But the tour guide told us that a trip to Palawan wasn’t complete if we didn’t go to the Underground River. He said that there were a lot of beaches in the country and it was better to go to the Underground River than island hopping. When we got back to the hotel after our Honda Bay tour, we heard other tourists say that it was really very sunny at the Underground River. So we finally decided to go there on our third day.
The fourth day was spent shopping in the public market (prawns & tuna), for our trip back to Manila was at 1030 in the morning.
We really felt it was ‘bitin’. Mr. antuken actually wanted us to go back in the summer but I’ve used up all my leave credits.
Wana see how much fun we had?
Happy to know that you had a great HM experience. Make it HM event everyday.

Oh, hello there! It is nice to stumble upon a blog that has the same layout as mine :D. We just have different header image.
Anyway, looks like you had a great time touring Palawan. I was there a couple of months back and I really had fun lao na sa starfish island. Sarap lumakad dun sa long sandbar hehehe. Kumain ba kayo sa Kalui where you have to eat barefooted? Masarap food nila dun. I wanted to visit the Vietnamese Village while I was in Palawan pero kulang sa oras. It was also nice to experience visiting the Iwahig Penal Colony.
thanks for dropping by my blog! napaka-generic ng layout ko. ni hindi ko nga napalitan yang header eh. yan talaga ang header nya. some friends invited me to try out WP a few months back. sa katamaran ko, an nff transferred my posts from blogspot to this one. ni hindi ko napalitan ginawa nya. nagdagdag lang ng onti. magaling pa naman gumawa ng header yung friend na yun. hmmnn… gagawan nya kaya ako? hehe. we went to ka lui’s. parang a puerto princesa trip won’t be complete without going there ata.
Why you call yourselves antuken is beyond me. You both seem to be enjoying life and not sleepy at all. Nice photos – makes me reconsider including Palawan on the sites to see.
Congratulations Mr. Antuken and Best Wishes Mrs. Antuken 🙂
Napadaan lang po – may nagasabi lang na may seksi daw dito – tama pala 🙂
that’s our term of endearment. hehe. we used to be sleepyheads esp. on our way to work (while on the shuttle). daan ka lang lagi dito. and thanks, i don’t actually think i’m sexy, pero sa kung sino man nagsabi sayo, pakisabi salamat na rin. 🙂
wow sarap naman sa Palawan.. hehehe bata pa ko nung nakarating ako dyan with my mom.. At ang sexy nung naka two piece ha.. 😀
Wonderful collages! I’ve never been to Palawan but I think Jules went there when he was in high school. I’d love to go there someday especially after seeing a recent documentary about the magnificent Honda Bay.
