Paradise

Went to Coron, Palawan. The best place in the Philippines I've visited so far.

Dive Link Resort - Hotel we stayed in. Very beautiful and the only resort that is on a different island. Ten minute boat ride from the Coron Port and Town Proper. Met the owner, was a great fella. Good food and nice lodging. Great people as well.










Kayangan Beach and Kayangan Lake - The best place in Coron in my opinion. Had to climb a steep mountain to get to the lake. Was out of breath one time but it's worth the treck. Clear and nice temperatured water. Lots of swordfishes and shrimp.










Banol Beach - Beautiful beach beside high mountains. White sand and very clear water. Had lunch near the sea. I LOVE IT!











Twin Lagoon - Most awesome site I've seen. Lagoons enclosed by steep high mountain walls. Makes me want to cry.

We also went to Maquinit Hot Springs, a spring just beside the sea. Dipped for 30 minutes and it was fantastic! Water was really hot (natural, hot spring nga eh!).
There are still a lot of places on the island that we didn't went to, too bad we had limited time. MAGBABALIK!

I plan to go back every year until magsawa ako. Beautiful.

Look Around Round Round

Prudence noun (pru-dence) - the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason; skill and good judgment in the use of resources.

My "Cerebral iPod" still has the LSS virus (Last Song Syndrome). I've tried every anti-virus, spyware, and firewall but to no avail. This is one of those virus that wouldn't just go away. Now the new song that is on infinite REPEAT on my brain is the song Dear Prudence.

There is something about that song that soothes me. I know John and Paul wasn't talking (singing) to me, they're talking to Prudence; who seems to be in a bit of a slump. That is why I think I can relate with Prudence, and the words affects me in a good way.

I kinda like it, my life having a different soundtrack every month. Good thing only profound and class A1 tunes are on my playlists. But had "Basang-Basa sa Ulan" by Aegis for one week back when I was still with my last ex-officemates, thanks a lot Dan! Buti na lang na-delete ko sa iTunes!

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out and play?

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes.
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies.
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything.
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Look around, round.
Look around, round, round.
Look around.

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile.
Dear Prudence, like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

That's goddamn right!

A Severe Case of LSS (Last Song Syndrome)?

George Harisson's song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" has been playing in my head for about a month now. I don't know why but it won't stop. I'm not complaining, it's a fantastic song but I can't seem to find the connection or the reason. It's the acoustic version that's on non-stop "REPEAT" on my cerebral iPod. Side effect ng meds? Hmmmm...

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I dont know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I dont know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I dont know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I dont know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all . . .
Still my guitar gently weeps.
