Figures and Faces of Karsts in Palawan

-


This is a peacock in my eyes!
***

Karsts do not only astound us, they also spark our imagination as we traverse the high seas of Palawan... Check out the photo below if you can at least agree on one of my figure interpretation.... 
Just sharing you my travel joy...





This is the Helicopter Island. On the left is the tail and on the right is the face 
and the protruding part is the propeller. See, see?
***



This looks like a turtle to me. The not-shy head is on the right and the shell is the bigger portion! 
You get what I mean? 
*** 


A sleeping dog. This must be snoopy. On the left is the folded leg, then the body with long ears, then the eyes and brown nose and another contour for the ears. Got it?
***



This is a mushroom. And we have no problem with that, do we?
***


Two skeleton devils or two dinosaur fossils. 
Whichever you see, they are not pretty for sure.

My mother enjoying the boat ride and the view.

My father is seriously figuring out the figures presented to him by the karst.

A bust looking on the left side. 
The eye is the portion with a white dot, the nose is pointed and the lip is pouting. 
We got Naomi Campbell on this one, huh?
***


A sleeping giant as the it faces the sky. 
From left is the chin, then a smirk, then the protruding nose, and then the eye and a forehead....
***




A clown or Joker? Facing the right side, I can surmise an eye, then a quirky nose, 
then a chubby face and a pouting lip.
***


This is a sleeping rat facing the left side. 
The head and body of this rat are lying flat on the sea floor.

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

-

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It

The Legend of Isla Gigantes in Carles, Iloilo* In a place called Punta Bulakawe in the town of Carles, there was a childless couple who endlessly asked for a child. They were blessed with a son who grew up too fast. Too fast he grew that he can no longer enter thier house when he was one and all men were only as tall as his knees. The giant child grew up and spent his adolescence in a mountain known as the Beheya Hill. Everytime this giant walked, the surroundings shook. Each of his step meant earthquake for everyone. This made everyone fear him. Because of his steps, he was called Higante Tay-og -- literally means Giant Quake. Higante Tay-og decided to remain in Beheya Hill which he could access by two or three steps only. To entertain himself, he learned to smoke cigars. Each time he exhale smoke from his cigar, the surroundings dim. When he accidentally inhaled the smoke, he coughed; the folks feared it like thunder that shook the surro
