just passing through: Bacuit Bay of El Nido, Palawan

28 October 2015

Bacuit Bay of El Nido, Palawan

I'm back to enjoy the beauty of El Nido and this time I'm sharing it with my family. In August 2010, I promised to return and explore more of its islands and beaches with my loved ones.

This time, we're staying in a family-owned and managed inn in Barangay Corong Corong about 3 km from the town proper. The area is quiet and private, and most of all, we get to enjoy the panoramic sunset views of Bacuit Bay even from the balcony of our family room. The morning stroll is relaxing as you can walk far from the shore because of the low tide.

Sail On

"Life here on earth is a temporary assignment." - Rick Warren

They say that we are just like passing ships. Wherever we go and drop anchor, we learn something that makes our lives never the same again.

Life may have brought us disappointments, failures, discouragements, broken hearts and other negative thoughts and emotions but life goes on.

Along the way, we meet people who touch our lives one way or the other. Some become true friends. Most of them just acquaintances.

We are here in this world temporarily. We are not yet home.

Whatever happens, the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. He always knows what's best for us.

Everything happens for a reason.
