FINDING LOVE IN PALAWAN...

"Susubok ulit akong magmahal. But this time, sa AFAM naman."

Naisip ko, baka hindi talaga ako swerte sa Pinoy? Baka sa AFAM talaga ako nakatadhana. At sa sobrang dami ng mga foreigners na pumupunta ng Palawan, I'm glad that I met Mike. He's from L.A. and this is his second time to be here in Palawan. He was a really nice guy and I loved talking to him. There was no prejudice nor have I felt intimidated by his mere presence. He was a conversationalist which I really like.

But this is not our love story.

Ngayon nakuha ko na ang atensiyon mong marites ka, may sasabihin lang ako! Hahaha. Hindi lahat ng mga nababasa mo sa social media, lalo na sa page kong "Madam Aivan" ay totoo. Yung mga quotes na pino-post ko, mostly wala akong pinapatamaan. It's just a quote, plain and simple.

The goal is to have a high engagements thus the nasty or funny quotes sometimes. But just to make it clear, whenever I'm angry or stressed, I'd post it on my "PERSONAL" account.

I hope, clear na. Wala akong kaaway. Masaya ako sa life ko ngayon.

Lalo at magkikita ulit kami ni Mike bukas. Goodnight.

xoxo,

Madam Aivan

HOW I ENDED UP IN PALAWAN...

August 31, 2022 - I came to Palawan with a luggage, a laptop bag and a broken heart. Only my closest friends knew what I was going through that time. Sa dami ng mga nangyari sa 'kin, which most of you may know, I needed some time to reflect and process everything since I've never had that chance.

Palagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko at maging sa ibang tao during that time na okay lang ako. But the truth is, I'm not.

And I'm glad that despite my flaws and shortcomings, Palawan welcomed me with open arms. And in a short period of time, this place which is considered as the last frontier of the Philippines became my second home.

Right now, I can say that I am now in a much better place. I am still heartbroken somehow. Lost even. But I am starting to pick up the pieces that was once shattered.

And I'm sure that one day, I'll be 100% okay again.

But for now, lemme share to you some of my adventures here in Palawan.
