I know I have not been that active for the past months of 2019. My last and latest post is my 2018 year-ender and I haven’t got to posting any new contents for this blog of mine. I know that I don’t have that much supporters and readers that read my blog but if you are reading this, I apologize for just creating a new content again and I thank you very much that you are one of my supporters that keeps coming back supporting me; and if you are new here on my blog, welcome!

First and foremost, I apologize for not being that active on creating contents for my blog especially during these past few months due to the fact that I don’t have that much free time to do anything outside of my academic life. Now I can say, college life is really no joke and yes, I know that I am still new to such a thing and that it would soon get worse as I progress more into collegiate level but it is really no joke. One reason why during last summer I was so active on creating contents was because it was summer plus I didn’t have that much to do so all my effort and time were spent on creating contents. But that all changed when college came knocking on my door and took all my time, the only free time that I get I spent it on relaxing or rather sleeping just so that my human body and mind can rest for a bit before it is beaten up again by the academic life.

Yes, I am now telling you that this is more of a personal type of content because I have a lot on my mind and inside that I would like to let out and I know that writing about it can help me last through the struggles that I am going through right now.

The biggest struggle that I am going through right now is about my academic life, specifically with my History subject. I am not really a big fan of all that subjects that would require you to be a bookie or more efforts into memorizing and reading a plethora of information, but I do appreciate and adore History. For me, what makes history exciting for me is that I get a glimpse on what the world was back then plus discovering exciting facts and information that would help us learn why our world is what is right now. But with this issue, I am really struggling plus the professor is really not being of help at all. I an giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is really intelligent and amazing just to be intact with all this information BUT the way he teaches history – Philippine History – is nothing. Instead of giving us reliable readings or references where we could read and learn more about what he is talking about, he would only spit out all this information to us, not knowing if what he is talking about is still in align with the course module or not anymore, and then expect us to excel in his course. I mean that is just nonsense.

Personally, from a perspective of a student from this generation. Teachers should also ask themselves if their students nowadays are still learning from what they give their students or how they give it out. Teachers should realize, especially teachers that have been teaching for a long time now should think about changing the way that they teach their subject because they are not teaching the past generation that they know such ways worked; they are now teaching the future generations which we came with change and are here for change, so if the teachers would want change from us, they should also change first for the betterment of the students that would eventually affect the future better.

I know that this content would not really have a lot of attention, but if any one of you would like to share this content to people that are feeling the same way to how students or some students are being taught then share it because I know that it would help them also have a light on them knowing that they are not alone in feeling such ways towards certain types of teaching ways.

I’ll end this content with this for now, I still have a lot to share with you guys about my life and realizations that I am having in my life but that would be on another content - hopefully soon. So, thank you guys for reading and hearing out one of my major struggles in life right now.

I do runs, I can jog for a good 30 minutes or do 20 rounds of jog if necessary. I am athletic as much as I can be – I’m once a member of one of the most prominent Cheerleading Teams here in the Philippines. I can do and be all those things if needed or if I want to. But why the heck is it more tiring when you choose to chase and run after Love?!

Okay, this is my first time writing a content that is really personal, especially coming from my point of view and being posted here on my blog.

So, I’ve been chasing for the ones that I like or had/have a crush on since I became maturely conscious to this world of ours. And to all my friends that knows me and all this shenanigans that I’m writing for this content — PLEASE KEEP QUIET! SOON LET’S MAKE GOSSIP HAHAHA! So the idea for this content actually came to me on a spontaneous note. Spontaneous being me whilst at the gym, then after my program for the day then it hit me *boogsh* then snap - over think.

I replayed all my puppy love and infatuation moments through the years, and I know I'm still young (just 18 years old) to do a content like this. This replaying happened during my break after the workout, fyi. And this lowered my mood through the entire afternoon, until the night.

It got me thinking: how the hell did my stamina kept on going? How did I manage to chase them for a good period of time and never get tired? And YES I know you'll think "You should keep on going, for it is Love." Yes I know that it "might" be Love, but I'm only human and our species tends to get tired on a normal basis, right?

Then on that day, while I was thinking of all the chasing I've done. The weight of each came crashing down, all the tiring that came with those chasing came crashing down on me during that day when I decided to think about it. Then there I felt tired.

I don't plan on making this long, I just want to say that I'm tired. But maybe for this time only, my perspective on this content may change through the course of time because everything in the world changes, even us. So yeah, for the mean time I'm tired but I can't wait for those chasing moments again but I wish that it would be me now that can and would be chased at. J

So a throwback to our week in Palawan, most of our time was spent at El Nido. A location that belongs to Northern Palawan, El Nido is actually a province of Palawan and not a city. The only city in Palawan is Puerto Princesa – that’s for another entry.

Traveling to El Nido is a bit expensive rather than traveling to Puerto Princesa, that’s why we decided to fly out 1^st to Puerto Princesa then once we land we headed straight off to El Nido. The travel time was 4 to 6 hours via rental van.

Our 1^st day in Palawan was already a planned day all on its own. We accommodated ourselves with El Nido’s famous Package A for the island hopping experience. This was the package that takes you to El Nido’s well-known sceneries, from the famous Big Lagoon to their Small Lagoon where you will need to go via kayak just to get into the place.

It was the middle of September and here in the Philippines, it is within the country’s wet season. Fortunately during that day, the sun was up and lively, but not too much because there were plenty of clouds here and there.

The 2^nd day was not so much of a happy weather, the day started off with huge rain droplets and strong winds but nonetheless we still went through it. The day was scheduled for the Package C which is the second well known package in El Nido. The Package B was mostly consisted going into secret beaches and small lagoons that were really hard to get into but were still beauties.

If you were to ask me, I liked Package A. I truly recommend the Package A especially if you’re in a tight schedule and you only have limited time in El Nido.

So unfortunately after our 3^rd day in El Nido (which was the day for Package B). 5 am in the morning we were already scheduled to head off to Puerto Princesa this time, again via van.

Actually I told my mom that I was gonna come back to Palawan in the near future, specifically El Nido. I truly enjoyed the place, and I really want you guys reading this to experience it on your own. It will be worth every peso that you’ll spend on it. And also the Puerto Princesa entry will be up soon so watch out for that.

By trivia, this place is considered the Most Visited Place in the Philippines. The trivia alone can provoke you in booking a plane right away, taking a leave from work, absences from school, then start packing your things then you are off. A place that is filled, healthy, and purified with the beauty and capabilities of nature. The Most Visited Place is Palawan.

Palawan is considered as one of the most stunning locations not only in the Philippines but also across the globe. Housing of course one of the Seven Wonders of Nature – the Puerto Princesa Underground River. It is located at the western most part of the Philippines.

So this trip was actually a spontaneous one, because this trip of ours was officially funded by my Aunt and her husband, as a way of saying thank you specifically to my Mom and Dad. So all in all, we’ve let her decide and schedule what we were gonna do while we were there, and also where will we be staying, and also what activities we will be doing throughout the trip. Our trip lasted for 5 days.

The 1^st day was mostly spent on traveling from Manila to Palawan, then from Puerto Princesa Airport Terminal, we were guided immediately to a van which we would ride for 5 hours heading to the northern part of Palawan which is El Nido. We spent almost 3 full days in El Nido. If you wanna get a full glimpse of myself being in El Nido, watch out for my new contents here on my blog, soon.

On our 4^th day in Palawan, we were up very early in the morning so that we could catch our van heading back to Puerto Princesa where we will be spending the rest of our time there until our flight back to Manila on the afternoon of the next day. On the same day actually we went to visit the crowning glory of Mother Nature in Palawan – the Puerto Princesa Underground River. The Underground River was very thrilling, the experience of witnessing a spectacular piece which only nature can create is truly breathtaking.

On our last day, luckily our flight isn’t due until 5 pm in the afternoon and being with Cebu Pacific Airlines plus the heavy rain falls, surely the delay is amidst. So we spent the rest of the day touring around Puerto Princesa City which is the Capital of Palawan. A full blog entry about seeing Puerto Princesa will be posted soon here on my blog so watch out for that.

With these 5 consecutive days, I truly saw, experienced, and felt as to why would Palawan be called the Most Visited Place in the Philippines. If you’re a backpacker looking for a new place to discover, or just like a Travel Blogger yearning for travel and making the most out of the places he visits, Palawan is truly a recommendation. I told my parents that I will soon be back in Palawan, especially El Nido because El Nido was actually my favorite, hopefully with some other people especially my friends. It is More Fun in the Philippines.
