PALAWAN: THE PALAWAN EXPERIENCE

July 17-20, 2009

The following posts present a journal of the three-day Palawan adjective. Our cluster is utmost humbled by the experiences of the cumulative three-day vacation leave.

PALAWAN: THE FRIDAY BONANZA
- documents the cluster's memorable arrival at the Puerto Prinsesa Airport to our eventual visit to Palawan's secret wonders.

PALAWAN: THE SATURDAY SERENADE

- the splash, the waves, the snorkles. All these and more written in the sands of Hunda Bay.

PALAWAN: THE SUNDAY ESCAPADE

- a first-hand visit to the World Heritage Park of the Sabang Subterrenean National Park becomes the exclamation point of our final day in Palawan.

PALAWAN: THE MONDAY ADJECTIVE
- we have experienced the adjective. So should you. The post is a summary, in words and in snapshots, of the wonderful Palawan adventure.

My hands had been as adventurous the whole trip. They produced three Palawan-born posts.

PALAWAN: FUNDADOR
- a drunken poem written while the author was mid-way sober and half-way asleep.

PALAWAN: HINGA MALALIM

- the simple talk that eventually lead to a deeper silent breath.

PALAWAN: BARAS

- written literally in the sands of the Sabang Beach, this poem has been translated by our tour guide to Cuyuno, Puerto Prinsesa's local dialect.

Enjoy.

Ang susunod na tatlong katha ay isinulat ko sa Puerto Princesa – isa habang ako’y nagpapatino mula sa pag-inom ng Fundador, isa habang ako’y tahimik at inuutusan ko ang sarili na Hinga Ng Malalim, at ang isa habang nakikipagsapalaran sa huni ng Buhangin.

Sana maibigan ninyo ang mga muthing komposisyong ito habang sinusulat ko pa ang mga naganap sa aming cluster outing sa...

PALAWAN!!!

DAY-SCLAIMER

[I]ve been in blog hiatus for almost twenty days now. The hibernation has been God’s collaborative effort to get me back to my reality via a much-needed vacation leave.

Ten days have brought me a lot of output – personal insights, writing-wise, or otherwise. If only I could have vacation leave as a permanent job and get paid [or at least, read] for being laidback, lazy, and real.

Ladies and gentlemen, I now present the result of my seven-day sojourn to my dear Dipolog City and my three-day pit stop at Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Enjoy.

PAALALA

Ang mga kathang may label na NAKARAAN ay hinugot mula sa Kamunduhang Inigo, ang aking blog sa Friendster. Ang mga komposisyong ito ay isinulat isa hanggang dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas, noong ako ay isa pa lamang mag-aaral sa Unibersidad ng Silliman. Sana’y maibigan ninyo (kung may nagbabasa man ng Ang Dakilang Inigo) ang mga kathang ito.
