MEMOIRS OF A SHORT TRIP: Canlawilaw, Dalaguete Cebu



September 1, 2013, Sunday - off to my husband's relatives in Dalaguete Cebu to celebrate their Annual Fiesta.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to take a picture of the home-cooked lechon but I was able to take pictures of some really interesting highlights of our trip.

Our adventure towards Dalaguete was via bus from the Cebu City South Terminal towards Dalaguete then from Dalaguete via habal-bahal to Mantalungon and finally to Canlawilaw Dalaguete Cebu.

THIS IS CANLAWILAW, DALAGUETE, IN PICTURES:



(I woke up on Monday morning asking where the red light was coming from and realized the sun was actually bright red so pictures HAD to be taken)


(I know it's too early but with a view like this, who could resist a selfie and the "holding the sun" picture.. hehe)


(Why moths and butterflies? Good question. The night before, a huge ghecko aka "tuko" kept us nervous all night. When I saw all these, I realized he was actually hunting for food as it was very abundant there! These little winged creatures also looked very nice and colorful and we rarely see them in the city anymore - too bad. This is to keep them alive, at least even in pictures.)


(Pictures taken while strolling - view of the mountains and a fruit tree known as buongon)


(A 12-year old kid who drives the motorcyle - he could not even reach the ground while on the motorcyle yet he drives it! I know this is technically illegal but WOW!)


(My stroll buddies: the bald cutie is my hubby Itoy, the man with cap is my father-in-law Papa Matias, in orange is our nephew Matmat and our little jumping and running boy Izel.)


(This is me all covered up and tired on our way back to Cebu. I slept during half (if not 3/4) of the bus ride but I was acting when this picture was taken. hehe)

I am definitely going back soon! I just need to bring an SLR camera, water of our own because the water there made my tummy sick, more cash so I can buy more pasalubong and more time because overnight is just too short!

Last Splash for Summer 2015: Busay Holiday Pools

Image
It is almost the end of summer or has it ended yet considering the rains have been pouring heavily for the last few days? But just because it is almost the start of classes, doesn't mean you still can't have just a little bit of summer fun, right? That's what we did at Busay Holiday Pools yesterday with the Endoma clan and it seriously was a great "huling hirit sa tag-init!" It was actually my second time there and every time I'm there, it always leaves a good feeling in me - although definitely tiring but in a good way! haha.. Ever since I discovered the place, I've been recommending the place to pretty much everyone asking for a nice summer get-away! The clan was supposed to to go the beach and good thing they changed their minds because we sure had great fun! If the clan didn't have plans to go there, we would have gone only the three of us ( me, my hubby and our little boy) because for some reason, every weekend after we were the...

National Holiday: Pinoy Native Games Day 2014! :-)

Image
If I could implement and declare 1 national holiday, it would be called “Pinoy Native Games Day” and it would require everyone to stop whatever they are doing to play the native games we used to play and celebrate it. When I was a kid, the only games we would normally play were ones that required other people’s participation and the best place to be in was always outdoors. Right now, most kids are just glued to their computers, phones and whatever gadget and prefer to be in the comforts of their own room as opposed to getting all sweaty under the heat of the sun. Today, I am celebrating that national holiday (albeit without an approval from the Philippine government)… Happy Pinoy Native Games Day to all! And in the spirit of this celebration, here are the Pinoy games that we so loved before but have been forgotten by the newer generations… Sungka This game is usually played indoors and requires 2 players to move a number of “sigay” (cowry) shells in an ...
