Coripot Coron

Sorry about that looooong hiatus. Sometimes, there are things not worth writing nor posting about for they just only belong to my memory bank alone. Scribbles on the papers and posts on the online space will surely fade and crash, but vivid memories will last a lifetime... or even beyond a lifetime, no one alive can tell.

ANYWAY, yeah! We travelled on the 2nd year of 2015. They say do things you want to do on New Year's Day, so you will be doing it for the rest of the year. Let's see if that old saying applies to my year!

BIG Tips!!!!

1. Never ever book the last flight from Busuanga to Manila. The last flights are usually get cancelled due to sunset limitation. It is best to book the first flight in the morning if you don't want to ruin the entire holiday mood!
