Right after our church wedding last December 13, 2011 in Caleruega Church called as "Transfiguration Chapel" located in Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas, - we packed our stuff, drove to the  airport, and  headed down south in the majestic and  scenic - Palawan.  Yes, we now belong to a "December Wedding" couples - if there is such a thing. It was my long dream to reach Palawan - a dream that has been put into halt for several times due to hectic schedule way back then. Luckily, I never thought that I'd reach this awe-inspiring place as our "honeymoon getaway". 

Originally, we've been planning to celebrate our honeymoon in Bangkok - reason why early on during the wedding preparation, I had been in constant communication with my good friend (now kumare) Cecile- who is based and working in Bangkok, Thailand. But due to heavy floods occurring incessantly in Bangkok, we were advised by Cecile to find another country as a replacement. As much as she wanted to accommodate us, she's afraid that the shifting and unpredictable weather condition might ruin our stay. Right after hearing that news from Cecile, we planned to explore Singapore. But were a bit hesitant if we will still be pursuing an out-of-the-country honeymoon. After my fiancee (now my wife) and I discussed thoroughly about the budget and other considerations, we finally let go of Singapore - consoling ourselves that we will just visit the place some other time. 

I then quickly suggested by saying "Why not explore our own, there are numerous and equally fascinating places in our country?" Hurriedly, I suggested Coron in Palawan to which my lovely fiancee agreed on. So we searched from the internet and luckily found "CLUB PARADISE" in Coron. So we booked and bingo! we're done with our honeymoon woes. 

And I would presumably say that baby Damien Caleb were made in Coron? - wahahaha! I would like to think so? hahaha! (laughing my ass-off) hahaha!  

Okay! Whisk-it-off guys! never focus on that -lols - it would ruin your reading concentration and eyes' ride to the awesome and captivating photos I took while we're exploring Coron. I was just completely awed by the place and so the poetic side of me turned on. And here are some few masterpieces that I took upon which I composed a description fitting enough to put these photos in motion through striking tailoring of words.

The real peace of God
Starts at any spot, sirene and lucid
Thousand miles from the nearest land
In its abyss you'll find the grace land

As our side trip's companion Clarice Castello - an Italian American living in Miami, Florida would say: "I never thought that a place such as this still exists. This is truly nature at its best.". Awesome indeed.! The photo above were growing limestones formed thousands of years ago.

Lo! and Behold!
A lake's presence is landscape's most beautiful feature
Without which eclipsed its natural beauty
But its presence measures the vibrance of its own nature.

The experience that put me in awe how fascinating nature is. This photo above was taken while we are on our first stop in our island-tour adventure. The first stop is Siete Pecados -a part of the sea where you'll enjoy snorkeling. I was amazed seeing the different fish species right in front of us as we plummeted down the sea.

A paradise gateway; A man's infinite highway
Explore the serenity; immerse in diversity
An adventure out of the city; You'll be in awe of its beauty 

The photo above is one of the shots I took during our island-adventure around Coron. This is the gateway to Kayangan Lake - currently the 2nd cleanest inland body of water in the Philippines. It is such an awesome place perfect for couple's romantic getaway and an escape to the hustle & bustle of the metropolis.

The calmness of the sea is a proof of nature's timid side
Tender sound of waves caressing the shore 
Put us to sleep uninterrupted less of snore
Only in Coron's Club Paradise you can experience
Such tranquility in the deepest recesses of the night
Sheltered by the cottage in a sea-view setting 
Is coolness to behold and captivating

How majestic and calm nature is. This photo above was taken while the sun was being eclipsed by the commanding darkness. A sign that the earth will rest momentarily and will meet the embrace of the sun when tomorrow comes. 

Indeed, true to its sense,  it really is fitting to say and claim that 'IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES'
