Bohol Escapade

It was a fun trip I had with four college buddies when we explored Bohol last August 7-10. Yes, vacation on a weekday. Well, there's a logical explanation behind... CHEAP FARES! Thanks to Cebu Pacific's new marketing strategy, we were able to get roundtrip plane tickets to Tagbilaran for only P1,620! San ka pa? The resort we stayed at for three nights (Alona Kew White Beach) was not bad either. The room was spacious enough to accommodate the four of us and all our kikay stuff scattered all over the place -- the only catch: there's no television.

Being the resourceful girls that we are -- we found a way to satisfy our craving for entertainment and food at the same time. For three nights, we had dinner at a nearby resort that has television... we just had to make sure that we get there early para hindi kami maunahan ng mga half French-half Pinoy kids (they are the ones behind us in the dinner photo below) who were mga "kapuso" and wanted to watch Majika and Capt. Barbell. While us girls and the rest of the resort staff wanted to know how Dorina was kicking Lavinia's ass and vice versa... how Adrian and Jennifer were concealing their affair from Benicio... and most importantly how Albert Martinez is looking oh so yummy (rice please!).

But more than all these, we enjoyed the trip because of all the bloopers and the laughters -- this would be another entry altogether. Given that the weather was not very cooperative that time, we still had a blast just making fun of each other, oh I mean making fun of Chepay (hi girl!). Thanks Len for taking care of the resort and tour reservations... but next time be careful where you make your wish -- hindi sa pinto kahit very intricate pa ang carvings nito (with matching closed eyes ka pa ha!). Thanks Bambie for the laptop, we were able to go online, listen to songs, and watch movies... we'd like to hear more of your "encounters" (hello banker!). Thanks Cheps for the Boy Bawang which served as our merienda and midnight snacks during chikahan/tsismisan/girl talk time... pero hindi pa rin namin kinaya ang pagiging mahaba ng hair mo (may asim ka pa!) Next stop... Palawan??? Let's go gurls!!!

A Wedding That Will Reunite The Girls

For those of you who know me, you're probably reading this because of the title. Nope, I'm not getting married, not yet. I'm talking about my cousin Brenda's wedding to be held barely a month from now. What makes it extra special is that it will be a reunion for us five cousins. We haven't seen her for more than six years i think, because she migrated to the states. Memories of summer vacations in Baguio and Manila when we were still in grade school (geez that was a long time ago)... beach outings to La Union... roller skating at Camp John Hay... indulging on good food amidst the cool weather... ledge dancing... coney island ice cream... at ang pinakapanalo sa lahat... having our pictures taken, all 5 of us, inside a Foto Me booth!!! Now I wonder... pano tayo nagkasya lahat sa loob???
