Yearning for Nagsasa by Planet Kirei on May 20, 2012The only thing I know about our Mother’s Day weekend trip to San Antonio, Pundaquit, Zambales is that we will go camping and see Anawangin and Capones Island. What I didn’t expect was the numinous impression that Nagsasa Island would leave in my...

Fun Philippines by Planet Kirei on Jan 6, 2012I love the Philippines! I was born here, and here is where I will breathe my last. There are so many reasons to love my country.

All those discount coupons online are great deals, after all. We were quite disappointed with Paradizoo, though. Perhaps...

Palawan (still) in my mind — day five: Puerto Princesa Bay Dolphin Watching by Planet Kirei on Jul 1, 2011I couldn’t shake the sad feeling that swept over me when I woke up that morning.

Palawan (still) in my mind – day four: Honda Bay by Planet Kirei on Jun 24, 2011After conquering my fear of the water from the last two days’ adventures, I got so pumped up for Honda Bay and the three islands that we’re schedule to hop into. Our group of 15 was split into two. Not surprisingly, a little confusion occurred as...

Palawan (still) in my mind – day three: Puerto Princesa Subterranean River by Planet Kirei on Jun 21, 2011The thought of taking another five or so hours back to Puerto Princesa was not enough to douse cold water on our renewed spirits after that exhilarating day in El Nido.
