Let's travel Palawan in Douglas' eyes.
Douglas Alejandria, a son of Cuyo's Vice Mayor, decided to leave their hometown and live alone and work his ass out to live in Coron. It was all good until one tourist came and changes the course of the world f...

"Welcome back to me..."
When I thought of going back to Coron, I thought everything would go back to normal—as it should be. Pero pagkalabas ko ng airport, sobrang naninibago ako. I feel like I've left something out there that would complete me. Para kasing kulang ako ngayon at hindi ko mapunan iyon.
But I'm sure I'll be fine. I've been living my life in Coron alone so knowing that someone came into my life three weeks ago shouldn't change a thing. Shouldn't be.
People would say this could be what they called sepanx or separation anxiety which I don't think I do. The way we ended things was rough. I'm not sure if she would like to see me again because when she said those words to me, it felt like she meant it. I also didn't mean to say things to her that may end up hurting her feelings.
I just don't like how we ended things. It could've been fun, would've been nice, should've been happier.
But here I am, walking down the guilt trip lane.
I walked out of the airport. Hindi ko na inabala pang tawagan sina tito para sunduin ako. Naglakad na lang ako hangga't sa may madaan na akong terminal ng tricycle papunta sa tinutuluyan kong bahay. I went straight to my bed and I feel like I had no energy to do anything today.
Hindi muna ako magpapakita sa boss ko ngayong araw. I would like to spend this day for myself. Baka kasi kapag pumunta ako sa beach ay isalang na niya agad ako. But I could just spend my day there and forget everything that had happened and think everything back is normal.
I could do that.
But I also thought I could use this day to look for Cory around and if there would be a chance to see her, I might talk to her.
I'm not sure where she could be right now. If she was staying at the same hotel or could be anywhere else. When we planned out our Coron, we will go again to the places we've already been so she can add them to her project. If she would go with the same plan, I have an idea where she could be, but there's no guarantee I'll find her there.
An hour before noon, I woke up. I didn't realize I fall asleep thinking about all these things left and right. Umalis ako ng bahay para puntahan ang motorbike ko sa bahay nina tito. Iniwan ko ro'n ang motor ko dahil hindi ko naman masisiguradong nandiyan pa rin 'yan pagbalik ko. Doon, may sarili silang garahe at mataas ang gate nila kaya mataas ang seguridad.
Pagdating ko sa bahay nila, agad nila akong kinamusta. Wala iyong mga anak nila. Mabuti na lang din ay naabutan ko si tito dahil papaalis na ito para sa susunod niyang biyahe.
"Kumusta na?" tanong nito sa akin.
"Ayos lang, 'to."
"Nasaan na 'yong kasama mong babae? Cory ang pangalan no'n, 'di ba? Hindi mo kasama?"
Umiling ako. "Hindi, 'to. Umalis na siya. Back to normal na ako ngayon."
