Extreme & Enchanting Day @ E.K.

Nov.12, 2011 our last day of adventure to one of the happiest place in town @ "Enchanted Kingdom" a place wherein the kids and kids @ heart wants to go...

It is my first time to be in Enchanted Kingdom that why i am way too excited to be on the place and try the rides... since we don't have this kind of amusement place in Davao City.. sulitin na namin ito, dba??

It is a supah Hot Saturday... that' why there are lots of guest on the said park because it is a Weekend...

The Team are all lined-up... to enter the Perya!! The faces... excited lang? Haba ng pila.. tagal pa kami nka-pasok... Weekend kasi maraming tao at medyo strick cla sa security.

The weather that time is extremely hot and sunny so we decided to have Pictorials and Tour first at the park before we start lining to the rides. Had our lunch before we start with our adventure.

The most discouraging and tiring part of it is you have to line-up for almost one hour before you can whirl to the rides that you wanted to. whew!! we didn't expect it...

(sakit kaau sa tiil cge tindog sa pila) huhuhu...

But once you experienced the rides... it is somewhat shocking and a WOW! you can't explain what you feel but it is extremely amazing... would definitely blow our minds and our stomach's out (exage!!) way too unfair because you line-up for almost an hour but the rides just go for less than ten minutes...? hehehe..

Their mini games is one of the attractions and highlights here you need to pay 50.php first before you can play their mini-games and you will really love to play by seeing the lovely and adorable prizes that were being displayed. And it wont make you stop until you haven't get the target prize... hehehe.. (Maka-gigil jud xa... Promise!)

Flying Fiesta the first ride that we took. It just a so.. so.. so... not that scary. It is so relaxing and mild. The kids would very much enjoy this ride... all we say during the ride is weeeeeeeeeeee.....

Rio Grande Rapids this ride really made my day... i hate to say this but i really cried after this ride because i was not really expecting that i will get a bathe in this ride, I expect that we would really get wet but upon our positioning on the ride I was not lucky enough to get the nice seat because the seat that i had is were the water would splash the water with a blast as in extreme wetness head-to-toe... grrrrrrr... I was really pissed off in this ride and I cried it all out to release it. After it back to the game!

EKstreme Tower Rideyou will ride in a harnessed seat that will took you all the way up to almost 150 feet above the ground. The slow ascending will took for about 45 seconds and the unexpected free-fall-drop will last for only 2-5 seconds which will literally take your breath away and so as the other organs in your tummy is moving out.. hahaha..

Look at the reaction of the FACES very Priceless!! hahaha...

If you think this ride is just Easy... well, THINK again.

Anchor's Away is one the ride that is really thrilled me extremely... It really made my knees shake and my lips dodder. All that we do is to Shout it out loud to release the wobble that we felt, any moment we would like to say and shout STOP!! we don't want it anymore we want to go down already but it wont we just go with the flow and we feel any sooner we could pee on our pants... the experience is so freaking' insane. I promised I won't ride it again and in the near future. It is a big NO.. NO! for me.

The last and final ride that we had is the Space Shuttle. The longest line that we lined up to.. i took us more than an hour? we all got so very sleepy while on the line there are moments that i wanted to say No but still in my heart still wants to try it once. This ride is a more complicated roller coaster, very rapid ride and will turn you upside-down... i can't explain the feeling.. . The feeling that your soul has been out of your body for a while.

The Wapaaak Face

This ride will turn your world Upside-Down!... you will call all the saints that you know... and say "Putang Ina" "Shit" and other bad words!!!(oops.. sorry Lord)

I really love Gladys reaction in here... very funny and convincing?? hehehe...

The team really had a boisterous experience that day. The whole-day expedition at the park, the rides, the games, the shows, the snacks, fireworks are beyond comparison... I feel like a child again. There are some hassles but still we managed to had fun and make our day enjoyable.

Sabado nights at enchanted kingdom is a wonderful feeling you may witness a magical shows and concerts, that day it was Brownman Revival... like it, because it is a reggae sound at EK whow!! We also experience the fireworks display live, for the the first time I got to see it live hehehe.... (ala man gud ni sa Davao)

All I can say is it is Very sulit experience especially if you're with your Friends.

Day 3: City Tour in Palawan

November 11, 2011 our last day in Puerto Prinsesa get-away. Our flight back to Manila is still in the afternoon so we spent our whole day in touring the most visited place in Palawan. That day is very hot and sunny good thing we hire an air-conditioned van that day so that it may be easy access for us to be on the place that we wanted to go, with the help of our guide Kuya Ding he just drove us to the places where tourist usually had stopover. We just leave it all to him, his the one in-charged on where to take us. It's him already ;) (kuya Ding, ikaw na)

First stop is Palawan Museum:

Palawan Museum

More facts and informations about the Palawan Museum: http://thepalawanmuseum.wordpress.com/

Entering the museum... just like any other exhibit archive it is full of information and history about Palawan itself. You will found artifacts, maps, pots, precious stones, gems (jewelries), instruments and different kind of creations both made by man and nature in the past and in the present.

This are some of the things that you will find in the museum. Just like in Mindanao, Palawan is also rich in culture. This museum was established on the year 1991 and it showcases the history, culture, music, arts, crafts of Palawan.

Having fun inside the museum, I was amazed by the exhibit that they have made inside. Many new learning are in-stored for me about this "Paraiso sa Silangan". It is the best place for students having research work.

The Palawan Museum is easy to be find because it is located in downtown along commercial streets in the city, particularly in Rizal Avenue facing Mendoza Park. In rushing in the museum they will be collecting entrance fees Adults: PhP20. Students: Php10. (college students) Php5. (high-school students). The museum opens from Mondays to Saturdays (9am-5pm).

City Baywalk

A quick glimpse at Palawan's known Baywalk, it is only Me, Honeysol and Gladys who went out of the van just to see their baywak and have picture taking at the place.

This color-fish fish displays is one of the main attraction here in this park because it captivates the tourist attention, and it is a splendid spot for picture taking.

PASALUBONG BUYING...

It is pasalubong buying time for us, there are lots of stuff you will find in their pasalubong store but their best recommended store is the Tiange' especially the Cora Palawan Pearls and Souvenir shop it is located at Tiange-Tiange Lacao cor. Carandang st. and it is also accesible via tricycle. Here you finds find different kinds of accessories, pearls, t-shirts, keychains, handicraft stuffs and the delicacy foods.

LUNCH TIME...

Having lunch @ Balinsasayaw Chicken Grill & Restaurant, we had seafood for lunch and and very yummy desert to follow up with a Buko Gelatin. This place serves good food that will suit your taste and the place has a plus point very alternative type is also covered with green leafy plants on the area. It is one of the most visited restaurant here in Puerto Prinsesa.

The face of the happy eaters... we are very satisfied with the food being served the food is such a thumps up very tolerable. Very sulit!!

Thanks for the tour!

Palawan Butterfly Garden

fly fly fly the butterfly....

It is located at Santa Monica, Puerto Prinsesa wita a very cheap entrance fee for just Php20. you may now tour inside the garden, the fees that they collect is the one that they will used in preserving this little species. Indeed this garden has lots of flying species especially butterflies. It is a place for butterfly sanctuary and preserving them. There still different species found here, the garden is not as big as I expected. The place is covered with a net so that the butterflies can fly freely within the area of the conservatory, and because it is a garden you may also noticed different kind of plants particularly green leafy and a plant with blossoms of flowers.

Luckily one of the butterfly stayed in my hand for a while it seems that it loved my smell becuse butterflies do love the blossom smells and it a wonderful experienced for me to be with the beautiful butterflies.

This are some of the living species found in the garden.

Mitra's Ranch

Our tour guide (kuya ding) took us the this nice scenic top view here Palawan the Mitra's Ranch. On our way here we passed by a subdivision of residence and the houses here are mostly mansion type. The Mitra' Ranch is owned by the family of politicians the Mitra's. Inside this ranch you will find a big mansion in a top view highland. It is one the the peaceful place here in Puerto Prinsesa and you'll love the breeze of fresh air. Lot of picture taking happened here.

It is open to the viewing public from 6am-6pm with a Php10. entrance fee.

The famous Petrang Kabayo is here!! hehehe...

We also spare a quick time in taking pictures with the horses.

Baker's Hill

This place smell so good and the smell is so inviting that you wanted to eat again. If your looking for the best Hopia this is the right place to be. Being in this place you may buy sweets and very freshly baked pastries good for pasalubongs. Me myself tasted their hopia and it the best hopia that I ever tasted, simply outstanding.

This establishment has its own unique taste from captivating the tourist attention to be in the said place. It is so persuading, its like your in a mini-Disneyland. You will find tons of popular statues of celebrities, cartoon characters, etc.. and playgrounds for the kids to play with. Both kids and adults would probably like and appreciate this beautiful park.

And now for our final stop:

Iwahig Prison & Penal Farm

This is one of the most popular prison here in the Philippines, it is only the penal institution wherein prisoners are not locked up in a certain sell. It doesn't seem to look like a prison house for me, its more of a society and a village of convicted person living in this farm, wherein you'll see tons of houses wherein the families of the prisoners can actually live with them. the captives ge involved in some industrial and agricultural work here.

Inside the colony you will finds a souvenir shop, what they are selling are souvenir items personally made by the prisoners of Iwahig using only light and indigenous materials. This serves as your donation to them if you buy their items.

You will also be entertained by their very own Iwahig Dancing inmates wherein you may join them in dancing, they are also one of the main attraction in this place in Palawan. In fact one of my friend honeysol join them to dance the "The sign" by: Ace of Base

Iwahig Firefly watching

...continuation of day 2:

Still day 2 in Puerto Prinsesa, after our escapade in the Underground River since it was still early we all decided to go to Iwahig for the Firefly Watching. From Sabang beach our guide Kuya Ding took us to Iwahig, we run for almost 2 hours going to the place during the long drive we've almost reached dark road.

Iwahig firefly Watching,

Mangrove Eco-tourism & Wildlife Park

We reached the Iwahig River, we proceed directly to our assigned paddle-boat and could start with our paddle-boat tour right away. Each boat is only allowed limited passengers because the scope of the said boat is just petty, only 3 passengers plus one boat-man that why we divided the group in each boat on the first boat it was me, Honeysol & Ruth plus our boat-man and on the other boat is the lovers Gladys and Poy so that they could feel the moment, sounds very romantic lovers under the moonlight.

I was very excited because it is a first experience for me to see lots of fireflies and what comes into my mind is that i could witness Firefly Dancing but I got it all wrong, it was just a Firefly watching hehehe....

We were not lucky enough because that moment it is Full moon, our boat man says the best way to see the fireflies even more clearly is when it is 1st or 2nd quarter moon where there is only little moonlight. The darkest it is the more fireflies you will see. We are allowed to take pictures but are no allowed to use the flash of the cameras because it might scare the fireflies away.

We were not able to took the fireflies in action for we are getting hard of taking because we are not allowed to use flash of the camera I am just using the Night-mode feature of my camera but still we couldn't catch any firefly on cam. So i decided not to take pictures anymore but instead I just enjoy watching the fireflies as they glow one by one and even in clusters. From afar you'll see a glowing trees and you will be amazed because they look like a Christmas lights on a Christmas tree especially if they see red light they light even more brighter.

According to the boat-man when the fireflies saw Red-light glow even more brighter because red-light serves as a treat for them for an opponent coming.

There are different kinds of Mangroves found in this river all are properly preserved and well-maintained with also the help of the ABS-CBN foundation who is one of the main sponsor for the rehabilitation of the Iwahig River and preserve the mangroves in fact it was the founder Gina Lopez-Roy is the one who discovered this area and establish it.

After the tour we took pictures, and i was holding the paddle of the boat it was way too heavy. And we wished to take pictures with the pleasing guides/stuffs but they just seemed to disappear during the picture taking.

The tour run for about 45 minutes in a paddle-boat, and I've learned something about our cruise about preserving the environment. Now I know why Puerto Prinsesa is so abundant because of their Eco-friendly living by promoting Eco-Tourism Project.

This place has a uncommon comfort room, kinda creepy all the way here due to the rare of lights but you'll appreciate the uniqueness of what they have done. (go there yourself for you to judge hehehe...)

We ♥ Puerto Prinsesa

Note: You'll enjoy the firefly watching here, plus the good-looking stuffs and volunteers here.. hehehe... ;)
