5-day summer vacation

Monday, May 23, 2005


Bohol is not my birthplace, i didn't grew up there. but my heart is in Bohol. and for the past six years, i was sad i didn't visit the place during summer. and now that i finally step on it again, hmm....there's soooo much to tell....here's a run through of my 5-day summer vacation in Bohol:

may 18, 2005
my departure day to tagbilaran, bohol. i was at the airport about 0630 to check-in my baggage.because i had an open ticket i had to wait for the chance passengers to fill up the open seats and unfortunately the plane was full na so wala na ko kasakay.....:( and i can't wait for the next flight because there ain't one. there's only one flight to Bohol. what i did was reroute my flight to Cebu. 0930 flight to cebu was full again so i had to wait for the 1240H sched.

and at last i got the 1240H flight to cebu. and from there, i transfered to weesum express (a small boat) to reach Tagbilaran...but before that, i met up with my bestfriend Bebang at SM cebu kay gusto siya muoban mag bakasyon....:) We arrived at Tagbilaran Bohol at exactly 1830H then transfered to a bus for a 2-hour drive to my desired destination, Jagna.

We arrived in Jagna at around 2045H. we supposedly have to ride a "habal-habal" (a motorcycle) to my mother's town but bf's volunteered to fetch us (he arrived early routing by boat). When we arrived at my mother's town, Lonoy, i aggressively greeted all my cousins and of course my parents and sister and brother and the dog...hehehe

There was a show titled "double kara" in the town's plaza. we weren't able to watched it cause katulgon na kaayo mi. And we have to get up early pa in the morning kay fiesta na pagkaugma....

may 19, 2005
fiesta day! feast of St. Joseph...we attended mass celebration at 1000H.I wasn't able to sing the songs the choir sung. they're so unknown. i mean, the songs are not common to me...but they sung it solemnly. After the mass was the christening of the first child of my cuzin Dindin, baby gabb...soo cute gabby...

Happy Christening baby Gabb!!!

me and my cuzin Dindin
Bohol is popular with saying "ija ija aho aho". well, this is sooo true with their fiesta celebration. dili jud ka magutman kung naa ka sa Bohol, labi na kung fiesta. You can go to every house in the town and eat whatever you like. whenever you want...yes. this is true. they welcome every person who passes their houses to eat inside. so my technique is eat a few bites para pag abot sa pikas balay, dili pa ko busog....and i did not disappoint them kay wala ko mubalibad.....:) the whole day, puro lang mi visits with my aunt's and cousins' houses (which is tapad tapad lang kay lola's). mura mig nag-food trip the whole day! hehehe..

At night there was a disco in their plaza...the songs were so baduy (no offense but it really is baduy) but sabay lang japon mi jamming and dancing through the night....lingaaaawwww...

may 20, 2005
sayo kaayo mi sa tubod...bugnaw kaayo!!! went to other town to visit other relatives...mabuhi jud diay ko kung magpuyo ko sa Bohol kay daghan kaayo muatiman sa ako.....:) i don't know all of them but they know me...sikat di ba? hehehe

at lunch, birthday celebration sa ako pinaka kalug na cousin, Bajoy. She lives in CDO but celebrated her birthday in Bohol...that's how much we (cousins) love Bohol. Well, its fun man gud if we celebrate our birthdays with all of our cousins present.. Then bf and i sneaked out and went to Tagbilaran to withdraw money for the outing on the next day...its my blow out man gud sa ako mga cousins kay dugay na daw ko wa'y uli uli sa Bohol. So my treat to them, ligo dagat in Dapdap white beach...How civilized the town is, di ba? wala jud ATM didto...sa Tagbilaran ra....:)

may 21, 2005

woke up early to get ready for the outing...i haven't seen Panglao (white) Beach resort. But i doubt if it will be much great than in Dapdap Resort! The view is soooo beautiful. Then in the afternoon, we dive in at Delilah's rock resort located downtown in Jagna. You'll never want to return hoem until early morning the next day...it's so nice!!! pics to be followed...you'll surely enjoy looking at the view, not th people inside the pic...pero pede na rin...hehehe

may 22, 2005
my last day in Bohol. and because it is, ligo for life na pud sa Tubod, said my goodbyes to all my aunt's and cousins and pamangkins...sakay sa "Tabuan" (the only bus who travels from lungsod to Lonoy). met up with Sherlock, my bf's barkada and my cousins' bf. sakay dayon voyage boat to my hometown, Cagayan de Oro.

may 23, 2005
arrived at CDO at 0230H. hssshh...woke up early para magpa reroute na sad kay ako open ticket MNL-TAG-MNL man...i had to get back to Manila this day kay pasok nako sa gabii....:( so bf sundo me at exactly 0730H pero sirado pa man ang PAL ticket office ana nga orasa...we went to bf's house na lang to relax. wew! but imbis na magrelax, bf's mother wanted us to go to their newly acquired land in Pagatpat, para magtanom ug mais! whaaaat? yes.....corn! and fruits daw....so we went. and surprisingly, i enjoyed planting....:) even though its very hot i still enjoyed planting the seeds....feeling nako gradeschool pa ko...di ba inana man ang graders...tanum tanum...hehehe

Then we went home to get my things and went to airport para hulat sa flight to Manila....

....
So that was it! my 5-day summer vacation 2005....dili kaayo fun noh?! hehehe... ibog mo? :)

ready Bohol, here i come!

Sunday, May 15, 2005

it's been six years since i landed on the most beautiful island in the Philippines, Bohol. And three days from now, i'll be spending my vacation there. i am too excited!

yes, six years na pala since i went there. hmmm.... what do you expect, my old work doesn't gave me enough salary for my air fare. this is an example that our country is getting poorer and poorer (when it comes to economy, of course). and dili na hinuon ka visit ng mga pilipino sa sariling atin....:) imbis na atoa ning nasud, ang mga turista na man hinuon ang ga-abuse. pero wala ko niingon nga kita dapat mu-abuse...hehehe

anyway, thanks to PAL (really really thank you!) i could go anywhere in the Philippines without me thinking what do i spent for the airfare? of course, there's always the leave form to submit or else i'll be kicked off.

beaches, springs, chocolate hills, floating restaurant, old churches, ang aking mga ninuno are all found in Bohol! i missed my parents' home so much! and of course, the food!!! who would forget that Kalamay and peanut kisses, hmmm yumyum kaayo... and i would never forget the ever delicious Suman. My grandmother's (may her soul rest in peace) were my favorite. btw, Kalamay are originally made at my mother's hometown, Jagna. i used to do the "kis-kis lubi" thing when i was a child. oh, this made me think how creative Filipinos are. our hands are such blessed by God!

Now im wondering how's Bohol after six years? Hope it is not crowded as that in Boracay and Camiguin...

philosophical rambling of the day

You can be alone anywhere. or with someone.
You can be fullfilled and happy anywhere. But only with yourself (although you can have company on the ride).
Its all inside.

Haaay....m officially one of the Korean Movies/Soap Operas Fanatics. yeah. One of my favorite things to do lately is collecting Korean movies and watching them on office breaks and even at home. They are extraordinarily great eh...hehehe exag! i like their settings and the characters are best played. Most of the movies are comedy-like ones and the story is all about love...witwew! I really enjoyed watching them over and over again (actually reading them cause i don't understand their language so i depend on the subtitle). Anyway, Here are some of the Korean movies you should not miss:

1. Windstruck
2. My Sassy Girl (con't from windstruck)
3. My Little Bride
4. Love So Devine
5. My Tutor Friend
6. Crazy for Love
7. Marrying the Mafia

There are so much more pa aside from these list. If you happen to know more please tell me and i'll buy it insigida!

By the way, i just remembered our theme country last Christmas party '03 was Korea. We won for the best in decorations that year. It is a great honor to wear their National Costume (yeah that's me in the photo below):

First of all i wanted to congratulate Aldion and Jamaica's wedding! kahit di me nakapunta my spirit is always with you guys! I wish you all the best in life and may the Lord give you all the desires of your heart...keep loving each other and you'll see underneath...:)

Congratulations!!!


Iam so depressed when they voted off Constantine Maroulis. Aaaargh! my last post was about Mario's quiting and Anwar ans Nadya's exiting...and now Constantine? What's really happening to America? Do you know, tell me please...Anyway, of all the six contenders, i was hoping Constantine would make it to the Top 3 (in fairness of Bo Bice and Carrie).

Constantine Maroulis in his early twenties


I finally bought a television...yeeey! i'm so happy i can now watch tv whenever i want during my day-offs. It's not that big, kasya lang sa maliit naming haus. Now i can no longer go to other rooms to watch tv....:)

I've been busy at work lately, this is why i didn't update my blog for two weeks now. I had a deadline end of last month, but it wasn't done cause marami ang pinadagdag sa program na ginawa ko. So until now, pending pa rin. This means less blog na naman...
