No more narration. I'm sure all these photos can summarize how we felt when we visited these islands in Coron. It was a quick 4 day birthday trip but it is a definitely a trip to remember. From the black outs, storms, uncontrollable happenings to amazing beaches and food. Can we just live in the beach? You know, pack our bags and stare at beach for the rest of our lives? Sounds good to me. :)\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/i65.tinypic.com\/veyq90.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.maayalegaspi.com\/feeds\/2273584553311290261\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/www.maayalegaspi.com\/2017\/04\/coron-palawan-bulog-dos-banana-and.html#comment-form","title":"1 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/3760548448812987226\/posts\/default\/2273584553311290261"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/3760548448812987226\/posts\/default\/2273584553311290261"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/www.maayalegaspi.com\/2017\/04\/coron-palawan-bulog-dos-banana-and.html","title":"Coron, Palawan: Bulog Dos, Banana, and Malcapuya Island"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Maaya Legaspi"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/10175924963575211047"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh3BjOMHg0AVmLcjpZy8qmbyHpgkPV4x4Q0ibrw3T2WG035M3C-LPhQaxlHgzbpRR2yKGPoJvWQ2gQNBv9HYgnKtPki7fFwSbKW7zU8zCn2kYWN8CUhjWNo9iCX6IHMgQ\/s220\/IMG_5916.JPG"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-QEZgE0PxEJ4\/WPB1Z1BBTFI\/AAAAAAAAIXY\/ZT36rPcnEPooczIk89kStSaUJZhcN4oDACLcB\/s72-c\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B5.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"1"},"georss$featurename":{"$t":"Coron Island, Coron, Philippines"},"georss$point":{"$t":"11.9283293 120.23973360000002"},"georss$box":{"$t":"11.6797288 119.91701010000003 12.1769298 120.56245710000002"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760548448812987226.post-7402154218068392965"},"published":{"$t":"2016-04-04T11:49:00.001+08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-04-04T11:50:09.748+08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"random"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"summer"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"travel"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"vacation"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"9 Quick Tips on Planning for Summer Vacation: Employee Edition"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Kw7wIQOrkIM\/VwHgh-P39HI\/AAAAAAAAEDs\/R4mt0EI4dz0iFBUzlFT8MsZw5OH6Z5rMg\/s1600\/209.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"summer vacation\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Kw7wIQOrkIM\/VwHgh-P39HI\/AAAAAAAAEDs\/R4mt0EI4dz0iFBUzlFT8MsZw5OH6Z5rMg\/s640\/209.jpg\" title=\"summer vacation\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue light\u0026quot; , , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , sans-serif; text-align: center;\"\u003EWe're both on the same page if you can't plan your summer well because you think you will run off of vacation leave balances or well, you just can't because you have a lot of stuff to do at work.
