On our way to Cebu and we stop over in Carcar, Cebu to meet and greet Kuya Ganing and to have some pork chicharon on our way back. We returned in Cebu to assist in the baptimal of our niece. The rites took place in St. Francis Xavier Chapel and the reception in Casino Español de Cebu. We ate at the famous grilling place in Cebu, the New Larsian, where different kind of grilled food (Pork BBQ, isaw-chicken intestine, necklace-chicken neck, betamax-pig's blood, walkman-pigs ear, squid, fish, seashells and a lot more) are served with their famous puso (steamed rice wrap on coconut leaves). The place is smoookiiing. Then we went to Taps, a place that is overlooking the city. Cebu is just like Manila, the city busy street, traffic and reckles driver without MMDA.
I notice the vending machines in Cebu, the ATM (Automatic Tubig Machine). I remember this machine was one of the finalist or candidates in the National Inventors Week last 2006. Now it is a famous water refiling station in the metropolis.
On our way to Palompon, Leyte we took the route to the north of Cebu to Pulambato wharf in Bago.We drop off my youner sister at the airport in Lapu-lapu island for her flight back to Manila, her class have already started. Pulambato warf was part of the Nautical Highway. It was inagurated on April 28, 2008. During the three hour voyage the sea was very calm. We arrived in palompon safely at 12:00 noon.

Island Hopping 2008: Day 3 to Day 5 in Siquijor
During our stay in Siquijor it was cloudy and rainy, so we did not bother having sun burns. We enjoy swimming in the beach of Salagdoong in Maria and the Seawall in Banban. We toured around the Island and saw the improvements. We went to Lazi for a festival and visited five houses of our distant relatives and ate on a buffet. We went to TRIAD, a bar and restorant on top of a mountain which sits on the boarders of three municipalities of the island (Siquijor, Larena and E. Villanueva). The white spherical roofing of the bar is very noticable in Larena, overlooking on the bay of Larena and Siquijor and seeing the islands of Cebu, Negros and Bohol. The oldest house in Siquijor was built in 1890's and it is still standing. The local authoirities of the island have made several restoration and repair of the house.
Siquijor is surounded by white sand and rocky coarals, most part of the coast line are mangroves. Siquijor have improved its ecological preservation. They have made several protected marine sanctuaries and mangrove nursery.
Their are so much to see in Siquijor- Camp Bandilaan, new discovered cave, monkey's place, marine sanctuaries, waterfalls and more.

Island Hopping 2008
May 11 Day.jpg)

Its summer vacation and I just finished my Basic Safety Training (BST). I'm on my way to Cebu. So excited I arrived in the airport 3 hrs earlier and my flight was delayed for another hour. I thank God for having televisions inside the pre-departure area and watch Dragon Ball Z. I arrived safely in Cebu, I was meet by my family which they left earlier in manila and went to Boracay via land trip (The Nautical Highway).
We ate at SUTUKIL (Sugba, Tinuwa ug Kinilaw), its like Dampa in Manila. Where you buy in their market of any fish, crustacean, seashells and it will be cooked the way you wanted it. A.jpg)
fter eating we visited the Lapu-lapu Park, where the battle of Mactan took place. Then we went to Plantation Bay & Resort, there are a lot of changes were made since we last checked-in last summer of 2000 (thanks to Tita Marie). Then we went to Robinson's Place Cebu.
A funny move....
While waiting in the pre-departure area, I was thinking to be first going to the plane (Trip trip lang ba... minsan ka lang malibre at makasakay ng airplane) So I constantly monitor which gate that Cebu Pacific will open for my flight. I notice that crew members gather on th.jpg)
e table between gate 2 and 3. So I slowly jump into seats getting near to it so I could be first in line. Then, they opened Gate 1, which I was very far from my seat (hehehe... sablay! Inihi ko nalang...) I went to the comfort room and did my thing and thinking how to get good pictures as I walk towards the plane.
