Coron, Palawan Trip with Office Friends 360 Videos

2011-07-06T04:30:00.000-07:00

Me and my friends have booked our flight to Busuanga since last year from an Air Philippines website seat sale, and we got our tickets 2,000 Php round-trip each person.

We paid 4,300 Pesos/Person for Hotel Accommodation with free breakfast and lunch including boat transfers to all the places that we have included into the itinerary.

Coron is a 45 minute ride by plane, we all meet at Ninoy International Airport Terminal 3 and checked-in 2 hours early on our scheduled flight.

From Coron Airport, we were welcomed by a Darayonan Hotel representative and we took another 35 to 45 mins ride on a van going to the hotel.

After putting all our things in place, we went out for a lunch then we climbed up to Mt. Tapyas afterwards. It has more than a hundred steps going up of the mountain where you can see the bird eye view of Coron.

The weather is quite cloudy and there are times we experience little rain showers, you don't have to worry about the water because there are a lot of people selling bottled water on top, after the climb we had our dinner at Centro Coron and went home and sleep early.

On our second day we headed to Banana Island and we have rented snorkeling gears for 200 pesos for two days, Banana Island is a 2 and a half hour boat ride from the main city bay, it is very tiring but when you're there and saw the place you'll be amazed by the beauty Banana Island has to offer. We snorkel near the shore a fed a bunch of different kind of fish, good thing our guide brings a bread for the fish to eat.

We paid 200 pesos for the entrance and the series of entrance fees has just started.

Next we went to Bulog Island where we find a Pink starfish, the entrance fee cost 100 pesos but our friend Ana is good in haggling so we get it for 50 pesos.

Due to lack of time and tides were getting lower we are not able to visit Malcapuya Island, we just took a glimpse of the place then go back to the hotel.

On our Day 3, we went to Siete Pecados Island Group a 20 minute travel time by boat, we stayed there just a few minutes then we headed to Kayangan Lake, don't forget to bring insect repellant because there are a lot of mosquito in the area where you will climb up the hill and go down by the lake, an Entrance fee of 200 Pesos was collected.

Kayangan Lake 360

We had our lunch at Sampaloc Island with a 100 Peso entrance fee and we got entertained by our little friend monkey named Bimby. After eating we went to our next stop the Barracuda Lake and we paid 100 pesos for the entrance. The place is very quite and peaceful and most of all very beautiful, we saw divers below us while we are swimming, there are few fish on the lake and some small lobsters playing around.

Barracuda Lake 360

Our next stop was the Twin Lagoon, I wasn't able to bring my phone inside the lagoon since you have to swim going inside :( so I just had a 360 shot of the entrance. Entrance fee is 100 Pesos but we got discount and just paid 80 pesos. We swim with our snorkeling gear on.

Twin Lagoon 360

After the Lagoons we went to the Shipwreck area and paid for another 100 pesos for the entrance and we fed fish with bread our boat guys had brought. Finally we visited an Island with no entrance fee, The Coron Youth Club Island. The Island is like a waste land no one cleans the area, trash is everywhere. I feel sad because the government didn't took care of the place. It makes me want to start a clean up drive but the trash in the place were astounding.

We stayed on the Island after a few pictures, the place looks very nice because of the mangroves that surrounds the place. I wish that the local government could take care of the place and clean it, and I wish people who visit that area should not leave their trash there.

We went back to the city and took a tricycle going to Maquinit Hot Spring, we paid 300 pesos for the round trip fare and the driver will wait for us after one hour, the entrance fee is 100 pesos.

The water is salty and hot they say at least 40 degrees C, the place looks really nice and very relaxing.

Then on our last day we just spend the whole day buying "pasalubong" to our family and friends.

Trip to Malaysia 360 Videos

2011-07-03T09:38:00.000-07:00

I went to Malaysia last June coming from my Singapore trip, a 45 minute airplane ride through Tiger Airways. I got my ticket online for only Php 1,200 more or less 25 USD.

From the Airport I took the KLIA transit bus and train going KL Central, ticket cost RM 12.5. I took a brunch at the KL Central for RM 5 then I went to Central Monorail Station and my fare cost me around RM 2.

Kuala Lumpur Central Monorail Station 360

I stopped at Bukit Bintang station and stayed at Bintang Warisan Hotel, I got my reservations from an online booking website Agoda.com, I got it for 100 USD for 3 days and 2 nights.

Bukit Bintang 360

After a few minutes of rest I started walking from my Hotel going to the famous landmarks such as The Petronas Towers, KL Tower, Central Market and Chinatown.

Petronas Towers 360

The entrance ticket on the Skybrigde is limited in number and in time, they open the bridge to public at 9AM then closes at 4PM so you better come to the ticket booth early at around 7 or 8 AM so you'll be the first in line. Unfortunately I didn't get a ticket because it was already sold out when I get there at 10:30 AM :(.

Petronas Towers Lobby 360

From Petronas, taxi fare cost RM 10, for me it is quite expensive so I walk, again just like the Petronas Towers, ticket for the KL tower is also limited, what the heck! and due to my frustration I got tired taking 360 videos :P, anyway I countinue my walk down to the Central Market and Chinatown to buy some souvenirs items for my family and friends.

Chinatown 360

My day ends accessing WiFi at my hotel room and uploaded pictures on my Facebook account.

I started my second day early by going to Petronas Towers again at 8 AM to get tickets for the Skybridge but the only ticket left was for 2PM to 3PM slot, I'm planning to go to Batu Caves that time and I have no idea if I could go back early on that available slot for the Skybridge so I did not buy it.

In front of Petronas Towers I took a train going to KL Central where the train going Batu Caves is Located. KL Central to Batu Cave Station cost me RM 1 but the return ticket cost RM 3.

Batu Caves 360

I got back to Petronas Towers from the Caves at Past 3 so my decision is right :).
Buy the way the ticket price is RM 10 but there is another package which includes the observation deck and it cost RM 40.

I spend the whole afternoon at the Petronas Park till night to see the illuminating beauty of the structure in KL skyline.

To Coron, Busuanga in less than 24 hours

The event starts at 4 but I came almost 7pm and a heavy rain falls for about 30+ minutes but thank God it stopped then we continued with the program by intruducing every batch on stage randomly and afterwards we can have our dinner luckily we are the last Batch called so we are all get hungry waiting.

Anawangin 360

2011-03-16T03:49:00.000-07:00

Here's another clip from my Anawangin trip near the fresh water river and the shore, what I love about placeare the Pine trees that covers the shore line, it is like you were in Baguio plus the beach.

The place is isolated, you need to travel a 30 to 45 mins boat ride from Pundaquit, San Antonio. I definitely miss the place, I want to come back to Anawangin and camp there.

There are lots of campers there when our group came, but we are not able to camp since we don't have tent with us and it is not included on the itinerary.

This is my day 2 trip from Hong Kong, at the Ngo Ping park last January. I took a cable car ride from tung chung going to ngo ping. The area is quite cold, the cable car is very high and I feel dizzy going there, at the park, you can see the Big Bronze Buddha on top on a hill with a 200 step stairs. Going up the Buddha shrine it very exhausting but I had a great time looking at the view.
