Bohol: A Wedding and the Tour

It's been so long since I last wrote something here. I have been so busy with my day to day life lately and finally took a short break from everything and went to Bohol for my teammate's wedding last May 30, 2009.

I, together with my brother and 2 teammates went to Bohol last May 29, 2009. We left CDO on the eve of the 28^th via Trans Asia. It was a smooth trip – amidst the noisy environment being in the Economy section of course (lol).

One of our teammates were getting married on the 30th - and well, let's just say it was something we wouldn't miss for the whole world! And much to our surprise and delight, the ferry arrived early! We took a lot of pictures and enjoyed our short vacation.

Here are some of our pictures:

This was taken at the port - at around past 5am.





This was taken while we were waiting for our ride to fill up with passengers so we can be on our way to our destination: Doljo, Panglao




Me, Ana and Jane - just posing :)

Yours truly enjoying my very first taste of Margarita (before I got drunk and declared the ants were having a disco party while helping them by flashing my flashlight rapidly at them lol)

The Happy Bunch at Alona Kew having dinner

During our Island Hopping the next day. This was taken at Balicasag Island - our 1st destination.

The Happy Bunch at Virgin Island - our 2nd destination.

At the Boardwalk - this was our 3rd and unplanned destination. A very wonderful treat!

At the background are the healthy mangrooves growing abundantly in that area.

Bohol will always hold a special place in my heart - not just because of the friendly people and the delicious foods but also because of the great beaches and sights!

This is one place you should go and see!

Busted PC

Hi everyone! Sorry been out. My PC crashed a few days ago. Then a day after that it failed to start. Brought it to a computer shop to have it's busted power supply replaced and now - well, its still not working -- a busted hard drive maybe? Kept displaying an error message that says "windows encountered a fatal error" and wouldn't load anything up.

I'm just at a cafe now - thank you everyone for dropping by even when I'm not around. I am scheduled to leave for Cebu on the 27th and will leave for Bohol on the 28th. I should be back home on the 31st. I so much hope and pray that the PC gets fixed before I leave - so much to do and so little time to do everything.

I better go now and get some sleep - will be working tonight. Been working straight since the 18th. I am supposed to be on my rest day today but since I moved my rest day for the trip -- well....I really don't have much choice but to drag myself to work for 9 nights straight! (lol).

p.s.
Special thanks goes to Cacai and to all who came by even during my absence.

Ciao!

Planning for Long Overdue Trip

Sorry for the long absence everyone. I have been quite busy lately as I needed to plan for my upcoming trip to Bohol. Yes – finally! I am going to Bohol! I will be leaving for Cebu on March 27th with my good friends Sang and Gal. I and my friends have been planning and saving for this trip for so long – LONG as in like a year! We are planning on our one-time-big-time experience at Regency Hotel’s Sky Rise. After a night in Cebu, we intend to leave for Bohol and stay there for the next 3 days. Sounds like fun, right? I am so looking forward to it! Yipeee!

I have been out the past few days looking for bags and etc. I needed a traveling bag and a sleeping bag. And believe it or not, I spent the last 2 days looking for a sleeping bag and finding none anywhere in the CDO area!!! Can you believe that? What’s so surprising and frustrating is none of our malls here are selling them anymore. A saleslady in SM told me “Ma’am, we no longer have that available and that product has actually been phased out.” All I could say was “Since when?” (lol!) If you were there, I swear you could have seen the big question mark plastered in my face! (lol). Anyway, I’m just really surprised that malls here in CDO would prefer to sell the “Traveling Mattress” and the “Inflatable Traveling Air Bed” – and you would need to purchase and carry it’s pump separately too, unless of course if you really want to blow air on the bed yourself – well, then be my guest. For me, nothing beats the practicality of having / owning a sleeping bag. It’s not only light weight; it is also compact and neat. And unlike the traveling Mattress and Airbed, it is not bulky.

Anyway, I finally found a sleeping bag online. And the best part is, they are selling the items in Peso. They are a company in Manila and they offer 2 to 3 business days of shipping. And if you’re in the same area as I am, I suggest you check them out at: http://www.t3ckoutdoor.com/.

I will be posting more soon! And will definitely keep you all updated! Sorry for missing out on my daily EC droppings everyone – will make it all up to you I promise!

Ciao!

Long absence reason

Hello, everyone!

Before anything else, I would like to take this chance of greeting each and everyone of you a belated Happy New Year! (woohooo!!!)

I know I have been out for a while again and a lot has happened – and this time, I really mean a LOT! And not only that, I successfully managed to forget my password! Can you even imagine that? Well, I finally remembered my password just today (after so many failed attempts before) and just couldn’t stay long on the PC since I was working through the Holidays (phew, what a shame!). So now, I’m just at home, being lazy and enjoying my rest day, and I am going to blog and make up for lost times (oh yeah!).

So, I’ll just go get my coffee, feed myself before my tummy decides to come up with a Coup threat (lol) and will be right back to write about the latest happenings lately (yes, ALL as in the good, bad and everything in between!).

So nice to be back here again, folks and this time – I’m writing this blog’s username and password in my phone’s organizer - and I’m not going to lose it ever again! (Yeehaaahhh!)

Happy New Year, folks! : -) Ciao!!!
