September 15 was the day that El Salvador celebrates its independence. The Act of Independence of Central America was signed in Guatemala City in 1821, bringing in the other Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Mountains and flat plains characterise El Salvador, a country in Central America that receives an abundance of precipitation. Flor de izote, or the yucca flower blossom, is widely recognised as the country's official flower. Playa Popoyo, Playa El Sunzal, and Playa El Tunco are just a few of El Salvador's renowned beaches.

Puerto Princesa City Tour 2018
Initially, we were deciding to book our city tour (PHP 600 each) through klook.com because we’ll go around in a van but we went against it and decided to hire a tricycle driver for PHP 700 to take us around the city. And we were glad that we did because not only we saved money but we had control of our time on each place. It was gloomy that day so it wasn’t hot. We actually enjoyed the fresh wind.
Here’s a list of the places we went:
• Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral
• Plaza Cuartel
• Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center
• Binuatan Weaving Center
• Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden and Tribal Village
• Mitra's Ranch
• Baker's Hill
• La Terrasse Cafe
First stop, Immaculate Conception Cathedral. There was a mass going on and I think it was in latin.
Souvenir shop outside the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center. We looked around while waiting for our turn inside.
They’re massive. While walking above their pens, I was thinking, “Do they jump? Will they jump on us?” Thankfully, they didn’t.
The crocodiles seem to be well taken care of. Although the ironic thing is, they have a restaurant inside the conservation center and their specialty dish is Crocodile meat. So, idk. HAHA
They taught us the different types of grass they use and how to use the loom. I actually enjoyed the experience.
We were told that famous designers order bulk from them.
They also have a shop full of different items featuring the weaves. The quality is superb and they’re affordable, too! Neil bought me a circular bag from this place. I’m impressed that they are up with modern trends for their products.
Butterfly Garden. I thought that I wouldn’t enjoy this place because I was expecting it to be underwhelming. But I found it as nice and relaxing place.
There were plenty of butterflies and I learned that bananas are one of the food alternatives for them.
The staff ushered us, along with a group of Korean tourists to the Tribal village shortly after entering the garden. Different families of the Palaw’an tribe stay for a week or so here to give the guests an insight of how they live, hunt, create music, and such. Palaw’an is one of the many indigenous people of Palawan.
They showed us how they create fire instantly.
Mitra’s Ranch. There was really nothing exciting about this place save for the zipline experience and the teensy view of Honda Bay. I recommend skipping this place if you’re on a tight schedule.
Last stop for the city tour was Baker’s Hill. It’s famous for its special hopia, which we missed out on because they were already sold out. This place is very family friendly and there are plenty of spots you can take your photos.
It was only November 10, but they were already setting up their Christmas decorations.
Bootleg Shrek and family and Puss in Boots.
A sad photo of a peacock lol.
This looks like a plate of an art student executed in real life. lol.
Baker’s Hill is quite a large place with nice scenery save for the bootleg Shrek. lol.
A nice dinner from a fancy restaurant, La Terrasse Cafe. We thought of eating somewhere expensive during our trip so we decided to have our dinner here. We ordered the Adobo Overload and the Pan seared Fish Fillet. The serving was big enough for three people and we were so full afterwards.The downside of this place is the lighting. We were struggling to eat our food because of the poor lighting and we were just depending on the small candle light. Better to eat here during the day.
400 peso dessert. The best seller, Palawan Honey Nougat. This was so good, it melts in your mouth. Worth the price. Haha

First look at Chasing Wonders
A new trailer has been released for Chasing Wonders, which is set to release June 4, 2021.
Filmed over five years, CHASING WONDERS is a heart-warming story of a young boy, who, encouraged by his grandfather to live a life of hope and possibility, takes off on the adventure of a lifetime to find the magical Emu Plains. His journey through the lush landscapes of Australia and Spain leads him to the heart of the human condition - learning to acknowledge the complexity of what comes before us but struggling not to be defined by the past.

The rain stopped so I hurriedly posed for this chance to take my signature talikod shots while there was no people in the background.
I think what makes a certain place amazing is its history. I am planning a backpacking trip once again and I am looking forward to new adventures, learnings and unforgettable stories.
