Vacation with Ondoy: Part 3 Crocs Farm

Wow! Ang laking buwaya! Buntot pa lang katawan ko na. Buti na lang at skeleton na lang sya. Heto pic nya oh: This dead croc is measured about 18 feet, was caught alive in the islands of Palawan, kumakain na daw kc sya ng tao kaya dapat na itong hulihin. Di pa nakontento ang palawenyo, nagpadami pa sila ng buwaya. Heto pic ng mga baby na buwaya. Kahit baby, di sila cute. Pagkatapos namin dumaan sa breeding area, punta kami sa cage ng grown up na crocs. May buhay pa palang malaking crocs... Mag-isa lang sya sa cage nya at nakahiwalay sa smaller crocs. Sa taas kami dumaan kc nasa ilalim sila. Napaka tahimik at hindi sila gumagalaw. Siguro naghihintay sila kung may malalaglag na tayo. lol! Aaaaay! Nangangatog ang tuhog maglakad sa bakal na tulay. Lahat ng crocs nakangiti. Feeling ko talaga nag-aabang sila sa akin. Heto pa ibang pic nila. Bukod sa crocs, madami naman palang animals sa loob ng park eh. Kala ko naman puro mga buwa lang. Wow! Sobra na yata kami naaliw sa mga buwaya. Ngayon lan

Sunday ng umaga. Wow! Syempre excited ako. Ang aga ko gumising. Paikot-ikot ang pwet ko at di mapakali. Naka schedule kasi ang pagpunta namin sa St. Paul's Subterranean Aquatic National Park. San yun? Underground river po sa Palawan! Tawag ako sa reception. "Hello, what time ang tour?" sabi ko. "Sir, mamayang 7am pa po. Alas 5 pa lang. Mag breakfast po muna kayo ng 6am" sabi nung magandang receptionist. Ngak! Maaga pa nga. Sige, ligo muna ako. Hehehe! Unahan ko muna mga kasama ko maligo. Ayan! Umuulan na naman. May kutob akong baka hindi matuloy ang tour. Nag breakfast muna kami mga 6:30am. Ayun, natapos kami mga past 7am pero wala pa rin advice. Maulan pa rin. Tinamaan ka naman ng lintik oh! Sino ba may balat sa pwet jan? Balik kami sa room namin at naghintay ng tawag... Riiiiiingggg! Rinnngggg! Kurriinnnng! Ayan naaaaah! Excited and lahat... Lapit kami sa phone... "Ahem...

I think this is the right time to post this story, now that typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng left our country. Buti na lang at nakarating kami ng Puerto Princesa bago pa lumakas ang ulan. I thought we left Ondoy in Manila. But we're wrong. Ondoy came with us and apparently he was clinging on the plane's tail. lol! Kahapon, nagpunta kami sa Balinsasayaw restaurant. It is very famous for their Balinsasayaw soup and Balinsasayaw sisig. Habang si Ondoy ay sumasayaw sa liliw ng malamig na hangin sa labas, we were sipping the hot and delicious Bird's nest soup also known as Nido soup. Balinsasayaw or Nido soup came from a bird's (balinsasayaw bird) nest. Locals get it from the caves of El Nido. That's why they call it Nido soup or Balinsasayaw soup. Kaya Ondoy, kahit sumayaw ka dyan, happy pa rin kami, Balinsasayaw sisig is different. And NO! it doesn't come from that poor bird's body. He's too small for god's sake. It's a mixture of squid, prawn and other se

Back in my 6th grade, I joined a regional finals for an art competition. There I met a lot of kids like me. lol! One of them became my all time crush. She's holding a big teddy bear roaming around the competition area. She's tall for a girl at her age and has a long and shinny black hair crawling down to her waist. Ooooh! I got madly in love with her. BUT we were from different schools and region at that time. I'm from the North and she's from the south. When I went to High School, I was suprized to see her. I didn't know we were classmates. I introduced myself to her and asked her if she still remember me. Unfortunately, she cant recall. I didn't bother to remind her where we met. We graduated high school and we didn't see each other again. Until now, she doesn't know how I feel for her and when we first met. Recently, I was checking in facebook and saw her again. After a decade of searching there she is. BUT she's in Singapore. She's now a per
