Photographs and Postcards for Sale :)

My creative juices went to this project instead of thesis work this Christmas break, and though I'm a bit regretful of that, it's all gooooood. I've always wanted to do this anyway, and I have now, finally. Still looking for the perfect printer company/shop for postcards (unbelievably, it is hard to find one who does unique prints!), but for now, I printed the photographs as photographs in dependable Picture City. 

And good news! You can order a stack of ten photos for yourself! I hope you're quite the old soul and paper-product-lover like me! :) For more pictures and details, click here. 

I've three sets so far (two of Paris and one of the sea), and I'm waiting for Valentine's greeting cards to arrive from where I printed them. Unfortunately, the shop said I'll be receiving them by next Wednesday (late!), so I'll have to be patient. Still, I'm excited for that too, so watch out for that! :)

P.S. YAY, played with Curves to process these pictures and finally came up with one that suited me and my style! Thanks very much, Chai, for the inspiration. :)

Palawan: Mangrove Country

AHHHHHHHHH, SUMMER. ♥♥♥♥

Look at that wonderful beach. Last year's beach trip was in Boracay with friends, and this year's beach trip was in the beautiful beaches of Puerto Princesa in Palawan with my parents.

To sum it up, Palawan was BEAUTIFUL. We only got to see one part of the whole province, but testimonies from other tourists and the Palawenyos themselves say that Palawan has so much more to offer...which is definitely going to be why I'll go explore El Nido and Coron one day in the future, because those places are supposedly prettier than Puerto Princesa, but how much more beautiful when Puerto Princesa is already such a tropical gem?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway.

We basically did what every tourist in Puerto Princesa has to do when he or she is there. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the trip, I've tasked myself to give some traveling tips for my fellow traveler. As I am normally accustomed to do, I'm gonna spam this post with lots of pretty pictures of mangrove country (I call it that because most if not all the shores I've seen were lined with mangroves!) to get you convinced that, yes, Palawan is beautiful. Mind you, Palawan's more of an adventure island compared to party-island Boracay, so if you're up for lots of island hopping, exploring marine life, hiking, spelunking in caves, etc., then, well, go ahead and plan a trip to Palawan.
