OH I LOVE CEBU!!!


After Bohol, Takz (TaskUs colleague) and I decided to go to Cebu by ship. We decided to leave Bohol by 6 AM and arrived in Cebu at around 8 AM. We decided to go to Cebu by day tour which means we will be going back to Bohol from Cebu at the end of the day.

Plaza Independencia
Our first stop in Cebu was  Plaza Indepedencia and Fort San Pedro. These places are more of historical places which houses a museum about the founding of Cebu and historical facts about Magelland and Lapu Lapu.

 After Fort San Pedro and Plaza Indepedencia, we decided to have lunch at SM Seaside. We ate in the famous Mang Inasal which I need to admit it was a regret since I want to try food that is only available in Cebu and not in Manila. But we are budget conscious so we decided to eat in Mang Inasal. 

 After lunch, we decided to go Magellan's Cross which is the most popular landmark of Cebu. A trip to Cebu is not complete without a trip to Magellan's Cross. Magellan's Cross is beside some of the oldest and popular churches in Cebu City. The location is somewhat similar to the Quaipo of Manila. 

 We also went to Colon Street which is the oldest street not only in Cebu but the whole Philippines. We also visited old houses in Cebu which is what Takz (my TaskUs colleague) loves about Cebu City.

We also visited Ayala Center in Cebu since it is one of the popular malls in Cebu City. In short, we visited two malls in Cebu City: Ayala Center and SM Seaside.

At around 6pm, we decided to go to the Cebu port area to back to Bohol. Our 12 hour stay in Cebu is short but meaningful. It is actually my second time to go to Cebu. My first time was when I was still in high school.

I have been to Cebu twice but both visits were in Cebu City. I never went to the beautiful beaches of Cebu which I plan to visit when I go back to Cebu SOON!

PALAWAN

  When I was in 4th year high school, I decided not to attend our 4th year high school student seminar in Palawan for the main reason that I was now looking forward for college life. It was one of the biggest regret when I was in high school. Since then I have not been to Palawan. But last March 2021, it changed. This is my first time and hopefully not the last to go to Palawan. At the same time, Palawan is my top Philippine destination for places that I have not been to. My dream to go to Palawan has been achieved. I am with my cousin, Karlo, on this business with pleasure trip.  Day 1: Our first day in Palawan was spent in San Vicente, which is a developing island in Palawan. Our first day was spent on this beautiful island which is still less developed compare to El Nido and Coron but has the potential to become of the most beautiful island in the world.  While my cousin is busy doing business in San Vicente, I was busy swimming on the beach and enjoying the white sand...

BALER

Last August 2016, we went for a five hour bus trip to BALER from Manila, not just to have a vacation but also to celebrate the birthday of my cute little sister. We stayed in an exclusive resort named Costa Pacifica which is I think the best resort in Baler. We are six in the group namely, Lester, Angela Faye (the birthday girl), Tito Jessie, Tita Nennette, Tita Baby and MYSELF. The Baler Group minus Lester Baler is known to be a surfing spot along with La Union and Siargao. Honestly, I do not know how to SWIM and SURF. I just swam around the swimming pool and the wonderful BEACH of Baler. Sand Surfing SEXY Me Aside from swimming and surfing, we also visited some historical places in Baler such as the house of Dona Aurora, the wife Don Manuel Quezon, and the Museo de Baler.
