Cantilan, Surigao - Reconnecting my Native Roots

We arrived 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled arrival in the airport and the temperature then is at 31 degrees Celsius. So hot! Hence, we rode an air-conditioned van on our way to my mom’s hometown, Cantilan.

We thought we would be waiting for more than an hour in the van since our estimated time travel is five hours. Good thing we did not have to wait that long. The van was almost filled up with passengers. Off we go and the van went by smoothly. However, I was feeling afraid for the van driver since he was sharing his seat with the owner of the van. There were also instances that the van was moving sideways. My goodness!

Ocean Jet at Tagbilaran City Seaport

Due to my amazement, I'd like to devote this post for Tagbilaran City's seaport simply because of its cleanliness. I was also able to capture some pictures in the seaport. And I just so love them seeing the water so clean and in blue green color!

Did I mention we actually rode Ocean Jet from Tagbilaran to Cebu City. Anyway, here's a couple of pictures I captured in awe.

Bohol Part 2 - Secret Haven Now Unraveled

As promised in my previous post, Oh My - Bohol Trip!, here is the part two of our Bohol trip. I can't believe we toured a lot of tourist spots! 


Loboc River Cruise - Floating Restaurant

I was indeed in awe in the beauty of Bohol's popular tourist attractions. One of them is the the Loboc River. This is also the reason I look forward to seeing Bohol. The first I was amazed with Loboc River was in Cesar Montano's movie, Panaghoy sa Suba. The second time I was fascinated by its beauty was in another movie by John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo's Close to You.

Oh My - Bohol Trip!

Bohol is now one of the most visited places in the Philippines. And I did not let myself be left out of this adventure.

My mom and I did not book a hotel room in Bohol thinking it would be easy for us to find one. We initially decided to look for affordable hotels or pension houses once we arrive in Tagbilaran City.

Upon our arrival in their airport, we met two kuyas. One was offering us to ride in his tricycle. Since we have a luggage, we chose the one who is servicing a van instead.

Taal Volcano Trek

In December last year, I thought of celebrating my 23rd birthday differently. That's when I treated my family to a volcano trek at Taal Volcano in Talisay, Batangas.

While browsing the internet, I found Taal Lake Yacht Club's website for details and costs of this volcano trip. Reading a couple of reviews from bloggers who have already gone there, I chose Taal Lake Yacht Club since I learned there is a cheaper accommodation near their area.

Since all of us are first time climbers, I decided that we take the Ambassador Kenney Trail. I also learned it has more shade and the trail is easy which is
