Coron, Palawan

We capped off our two-week vacation back home with a 4-day trip to Coron, Palawan. It was our anniversary trip this year, where to next year?

Travel Misadventures

Everyone knows that mishaps are inevitable when you travel. Anyone could tell their story of at least one trip that didn’t really go the way they planned it. From choosing your plane seats to planning your itinerary, you always make it a point for things to go smoothly as you think. You pick the best hotel deals, highest rated tours, and google to-do’s and spots to check out on your destination. Everything’s all set in your head, but sometimes, some things just don’t agree with you.

Recently, my husband and I went for a two-week trip back home. It was such a short time to try and squeeze everything we want and need to do, but, I think we managed to do so. Overall, our trip was super in spite of some travel hiccups we’ve encountered. I’ve always believed that careless is my middle name, so I admit that most of our mini troubles are courtesy of me.

Sunset in Stanley Park

There's no better place in the city to catch the birth and death of the light of day than Stanley Park.

Never The Same Wave Twice

Never take anything for granted, thinking that the very same waves will wash the shore again, over and over. It never will, for the same waves never kisses its soil twice. When it has gone, you have missed it.

Our Favourite Spot

 Grab your blankets, pack up a light lunch, bring your picnic basket, and we will take you to our favourite spot!

We spent a few of our summer days going to this lovely place by the water. Every Friday, they would have a band play in the park, and people would just come sitting down with their chairs and blankets, ready for the music and the summer breeze. The place is located in a bay beside a small town, the kind where everybody knows everybody. Everything you need is just a few steps away from each other's stores, and the people are laid back. mind you, they politely do not welcome skateboarders in their park.

The day these photos were taken, the band that was playing was paying tribute to The Beatles. Everybody just sat in the grass and enjoyed the 'here and now'. Most of the oldies went up to dance the afternoon away, while the younger ones swayed and danced along in their seats. People would smile at each other whether they were strangers or not.

This is my kind of thing, no hardcore parties and wasted girls in their skimpy skirts (if there is any). Again, I am not a hater, I just love me some laid back lifestyle. It's quite a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. My husband really, really love this place. We're looking forward to come back next summer and do a bit of water activity. Cold water activity.

Cultus Lake in Squares

Cultus Lake Park is located somewhere in Fraser Valley. Its river (Sweltzer River) is said to run through the  Soowahlie Indian Reserve No. 14. I have come to discover that this Indian Reserve has its own form of government: the Soowahlie Band. It is intriguing to know more about their said government but I won't probe deeper into that, I am, after all just talking about Cultus Lake.

Deep Cove

There is this one place that my husband and I love to go back to. It's quite far but worth the travel.

North Vancouver

This is a throwback --- from when my workplace was in North Vancouver. I love North Vancouver so much because it made me appreciate the mountains more. I've always loved the beach when I was back home in the Philippines, but not the mountains. I miss working there, and I miss the people I was with! The bus rides might be exhausting but the view is worth it. 

North Van!

I remember looking out the window and seeing either bright warm sunshine, a garden with slowly growing wildflowers, or the ocean wrapped up in fog. I have always wondered how it would feel to be in one of the boats at sea when the fog was so thick. Not so lovely, I bet. Whatever welcomes my eyesight outside the window, I was always in awe. Not just of the view, but by the Creator, the painter, and maker of everything that I see. 

God is so awesome.
