I'm not really picky when it comes to accommodations. As long as they're safe, got a decent room, clean toilet/shower then I'm good with it.
Duchess Pension House has been my home in Puerto Princesa for 2 nights.
Because I'm on a budget, I chose their single bed fan room which is really affordable at just P250/night. With that amount, I got a decent room equipped with a single bed, fan, and table. It could have been better if it has a chair so I can work comfortably on some online projects, hehe.

During my first night here, I couldn't get enough sleep because of a number of factors:
1. Unexpected Guest
It was 10 PM and I swore to myself that I won't sleep unless I finish the projects due for the following day. I'm scheduled for underground river tour the next day and I figure out I would be dead tired by the end of it. While I was glued on my computer screen, I heard a knock on my door and basing on the knocker's voice, I think the person is a 'he.'
The door isn't equipped with a peephole so there's no way that I can take a peek on the person without having to open the door. For safety reasons, I opted not to open it, climbed to my bed slowly and pretended to be asleep until I heard him walk away. (I spent the entire night figuring out who could possibly be that person and what he wants.)
2. Inconsiderate People
My room is one of the two rooms located near the toilet and shower rooms. So I'm one of the not-so-fortunate ones to suffer from the noise of the banging doors (inconsiderate people). I'm dead tired to get up and tell each person who use the restroom to close the door slowly so it was like a door banging party night.
3. Anxiety
I was able to grab some sleep 15 minutes past the hour of 10 but woke up at 1:30 am and only went to bed for a nap at 6 am.
Seventy five percent of the reason why I was not able to catch some good night sleep is the fact that I'm anxious for the following day's activity. The entire morning I keep on thinking of the tour group that I'll be joining in and of the underground river (excited? haha).
So I guess these sum up my epic 1st (sleepless) night in Puerto Princesa!
