Bohol, The Gang

My officemates and I went to Bohol for a summer ender, pass by Cebu before going to Panglao, Bohol.

At NAIA Terminal 3, waiting for our plane to Cebu.


From Cebu Mactan International Airport, we are headed to JY Mall to buy our Fast Craft tickets for Bohol.


before going to JY Mall, we headed to thier IT Park for breakfast at "Ila Puti".


Our first night in Panglao, Bohol. Dinner and drinks at Lost Horizon Beach Resort.


Lunch at the floating restaurant, Loboc River.


This is a highlight of our trip, super laugh trip! this is in Butterfly Farm.

before heading back to Manila, we had lunch in Cebu. We ate at Golden Cowry restaurant and the food was great and it's relatively cheap!

Bohol, The Scenes

Okay, so here are a few pictures from our Bohol Trip last May. I know this is already a month late, but I was so busy reconfiguring my blogsite. hehehehe! excuses I know.... but here ya go, hope you like the pictures....


We are travelling to Cebu via Cebu Pacific and from Cebu, we are travelling via a fast craft that would bring us to Bohol.


Here's a view from my window in the plane


we stayed in Lost Horizon Resort in Panglao Island, Bohol. The place is okay but the food and beverages are quite expensive.


This is outside Baclayon Church, they say that the face markings on the wall is actually of a certain priest who first built this church... can you see it?


this is the bell tower in Baclayon Church


I really like this picture... it seemed that there's a certain pride from this bird.


this is "Proni" the biggest Python in Bohol


Lunch in Loboc River, the floating restaurant


I consider this as one of the highlights of our trip, this is the "Man Made Forest". It's amazing that this is actually man made, the vibe there gives you a certain feeling that you are not in the Philippines anymore. Simply breathtaking!

of course your Bohol trip will not be complete without visiting the Chocolate Hills, we also learned that the reason why it's brown is because most of the hills are actually coral and not soil.


this one is from the butterfly farm.


This is the Blood Compact Shrine.

Another Year

Once again, it's MAY 01!
and it could only MEAN one thing...
I am a year OLDER!
A year older and HOPING that also a year WISER.
No fancy CELEBRATIONS this year
just an INTIMATE dinner with my PARENTS.
a BUCKET FULL of wishes
and a measure of HOPE
that SOON enough...
a realization of a DREAM COME TRUE!
enough amount of COURAGE
plus the OPTIMISM I always have
and the right amount of ENCOURAGEMENT
with overflowing LOVE from my FAMILY
and brimming care from FRIENDS
equals
a bright and PROMISING YEAR ahead!

Holy Week '09

I spent my holy week in White Beach, Puerto Galera with some very good friends, friends that are almost like family to me.

We arrived Thursday, April 09 at 730AM. After taking our breakfast we head for our room to rest a bit and prepare for what's in store for us the next couple of days.

It was 4 days and 3 nights of blissful fun, a collection of unguarded memories, a bundle of heartfelt laughters.

We left the beach Sunday, April 12, 2PM and arrived Manila around 630PM. And as the day is almost over and as I prepare myself to sleep, a very good friend texted me this message:

Galera will never be the same again. I love it. Supermega Bonding, super saya. Super taas ng memories pwede na maabot ang mga clouds and mountain sa kabilang ibayo. Yes, may mga hurdles, pero we made it through. Sabi ko nga, if you want to be happy, then fight for it. Mag megarun tayo for happiness kasi we all deserve it.

One night for you, more for me! Good morning Galera!

Reptiles...

Here's two of my favorite pictures, taken from Lumphini Park in Bangkok, Thailand.





Just Letting It Be...

I know letting go is hard? But can letting go of something that wasn't there be any harder?

I know that there's no point in crying over spilled milk but what if there was no really milk in the first place? what if it was just an empty glass? will it be less painful? will it just be alright? how can you let go when there is nothing to let go from? how can you move on? and move on from where or from what?

They say that the hardest of part is when you ask yourself "what if'", and I know that there is such a thing that "we could have been" but I know, we are above that already. They say that we had was something more mature than the rest, that "that something" is more deep than what it seemed. Maybe and maybe not, I wouldn't know...


I am not perfect, and even if people see me as a mature person, there will always be times that I will be childish about things, that I will be in touch with the kid in me! Sometimes I might even ask myself what happened? That it could have been "US". And sometimes I will tell myself that "we could have been happy together!" But at the end of the day, I will be me, and all I have are "what ifs"... So as I go back to reality and myself, let me just say this:

I am not letting go! I'm just simply... letting it be!
