Coron Resorts

Coron is a municipality in Palawan Province and is composed of many islands. The main part of the town of Coron is on the southeastern half of Busuanga Island. Being a town that is composed of many islands makes it a good place for beaches and good resorts. Coron is popular for its clear seas, pristine beaches and untouched environment. I am hoping to reach Coron in the future just to see the beautiful things that it offers.

As for now, I will content myself in giving a list of three Coron Resorts.

1. KokosNuss Garden Resort

This is a Coron Resort that has a weird sounding name. But when you consider the fact that it KokosNuss Garden Resort is owned by two Germans, then you will see why the reason for the name. This Coron Resort is located on a hill about a kilometer away from the poblacion or center of Coron town. As the name implies, visitors of this Coron Resort will experience the relaxing ambiance of being in the middle of garden.

This Coron Resort have nipa huts as amenities for its visitors. This Coron resort has a garden restaurant where visitors can enjoy local, Asian and European cuisine.

2. El Rio y Mar Resort

Another Coron resort is El Rio y Mar Resort. This Coron resort is located about 30 minutes from the Busuanga Airport. The resort has an outdoor pool, billiard tables and massage areas. Visitors to this Coron can enjoy fishing and sailing. The rooms in this resort can only accommodate maximum of two persons. This Coron resort offers an airport shuttle for its visitors.

3. Club Paradise Resort Palawan

This Coron resort has 52 rooms available for its guests. Club Paradise Resort Palawan offers ballroom dancing, beach volleyball and billiard tables. This Coron resorts also has conference rooms that is suitable for out-of-town forums or seminars.

Zooey Golden Box

Orocan is the most popular brand when it comes to plastic wares and furnitures made of plastic. Of course there are brands that are competing against Orocan in the Philippine local market and that is Zooey.

Zooey touts itself as the “maker of quality plastic.” Just like Orocan, Zooey has a wide variety of plastic-made items and one of those items is the Zooey Golden Box.

Zooey Golden Box is not actually made of gold nor just a big box. It is a cabinet with six drawers. In the past, when we need a cabinet, all my father has to do is make one. However, now, it is easier to buy a cabinet than to make one. That is why when my mother needs a cabinet, she just went to the palengke (market) and buy her cabinet from the local stores.

The price of Zooey Golden Box is around 1,000 pesos but you can haggle with the store owner to lower the price. The plastic cabinets can be used to store many things like clothes, papers, etc. The top two drawers have a lock but can’t be relied upon to secure valuable items because the lock can easily be opened by any item that can fit in the keyhole.

Zooey Golden Box is a fine product but because it is made of plastic, this cabinet is fragile and can be broken into bits. However, if you are a sort of person who are careful then owning a Zooey Golden Box is not a problem.

Zooey Golden Box can be bought from the dry section of your local palengke or market.

HIIT Routine

Last week, I read about HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training from the blog of my friend FoongPC. According to him, he is doing HIIT routine to replace his routines for his exercise. FoongPC said that he likes HIIT routine because it saves time, strengthen the heart, helps him lose fat more effectively, helps him look younger and help him build a better looking body.

I believe that HIIT is a good form of exercise. A HIIT routine is composed of high intensity exercise followed by low intensity exercises that help the muscle and body recover from the high intensity exercise. Another good thing about HIIT routine is that it is not confined to only one form of exercise. You can apply HIIT routine to other activities like running, walking on the treadmill and other form of exercise. To help you in your exercise, here is my friend’s HIIT routine:

My friend’s HIIT Routine:  Jogging or Running

HIIT routine for jogging or running is the one preferred by my friend. According to him, he start his HIIT routine by running fast for one minute. After that, we jog or walk moderately for 3 minutes. He alternate fast run and the moderate jog for 6 to 7 times. My friend said that HIIT routine for jogging or running quite demanding that is why he is only able to do it for 2 to 3 times per week.

If you are looking for another HIIT routine, I suggest that you visit Body Building website.
