Missing Coron.... I never liked the rain... it makes my days seemed so gloomy. I can't do much and makes me feel lazy... it may sound exaggerated, but when it rains I feel like anytime it'll be the end of the world... Since it's been raining occasionally and almost every week now, I suddenly wished that it was summer once again... and then I thought of Coron... I miss Coron...

| Coron from up above |
Coron is one of the most beautiful Philippine destinations I've ever been too. Well, it's on top of my list... I've been to few tourist spots that claim that they're the best. But for me nothing, still, beats Coron; especially its beaches! I've been there twice (once in 2010 and the one was in early 2011) and I will always go back whenever I have the chance. It's a complete paradise in Coron! There's so many things I love about Coron... the destinations, the locals, the town, the food, and our host! You'll be surprised to find yourself to be the one surrendering from all the things that you can do and from all places that you can go to.

The two times I went there, we never ran out of things to do and places to see! We were the ones surrendering to all the activities and places-to-see in Coron. Imagine yourself swimming with schools of fish, snorkeling, hiking and sight-seeing all day long! Yet, I still long for Coron... I can't get enough of of Coron! You ask why? let the photos speak for themselves!
