Oh Hello Bohol Day 2

Mountains and rivers were covered on the 1st day. So on the 2nd day, we went beach-ing. Yay!

First Stop: Panglao
I never thought that I'd be blogging about trips that time so I didn't really take note of the things we did there. Haha! But I have pictures...super glad, the boyfie's friends are addicted to pictures like me too. :P




It was too hot to swim so we just had photo shoot.
Above are just my favorites.


2nd Stop: Flushing Meadows Resort
This resort is famous for their infinity pool. When we were there, there was a wedding. It would have been perfect without the rain. I remembered telling myself to take out beach wedding off my list. Haha!

Infinity Pool Shot!

Huhu!
I want to wear 2 piece back!

Oh Hello Bohol Day 1

After the first trip to CDO, the idea of another trip didn't appeal to me, even if it's already 5 months away. I was worried when the boyfie told me it would cost Php3000. That time, spending that much on travel is a no-no. I have too much responsibilities then. The boyfie offered to pay the whole trip again. My heart goes out to him so I agreed with a condition that the money would not be forgotten...it's a loan.

Weesam Express took me for the first time in the land of Chocolate Hills. The trip started on the night of April 2 until April April 6, 2009.

On the ferry!
It was night time when we arrived in Bohol so we settled at Aning's house - our official accommodation for the entire trip. Now as I think of it, that must be one of the reason why the trip is not that expensive for a 5-day escapade.




Day 1
1) Sagbayan Peak










2) EAT Danao












Up Next Day 2: Beach-ing!

Fiesta Summer in Bohol


This was my 3rd time in Bohol. The first was a 4 days/3 nights tour with Migo's  friends 4 years ago. The next was Migo and I attended a college friend's wedding.

When I decided to have 30.30.5, I was thinking of not going back to the place I once been. I broke that  goal last year when I went back to Cagayan de Oro. With that, I made an amendment of the goal...it's OK to go back as long as the places I visited were different. That's the one consideration I had on this trip. I'm thankful that my consideration was met. Besides, even if the consideration was not met, I would still go. I wouldn't want to miss the chance to bond with these cool group. Not ever!

We arrived in Bohol via Starcraft to Getape. Fare is PHP 220. From there, we rode a tricycle for PHP 10 to the hiway where we rode a bus bound to Talibon for PHP 25. Most of us didn't had breakfast so we were starving when we arrived at Ryan's, our host for the tour. We settled for a while then had lunch.

While waiting for the feast!

Hungryyyyy!

Yum! Yum! Yum!
The foods were all yummy but I especially liked eating crabs. I ate 3 big ones. Hahaha! I was glad Kim and Lawrence joined me on the quest because if they were not there, I'm sure I wouldn't stayed that long on the table. Hahaha!

After lunch, we decided to chill. Since we don't have anything to do, Migo's board games were bored savers. We played "no thanks", "uno" and "bohnanza".

I only played "no thanks" once. Then transferred to "uno". Charina won  "no thanks"  twice, then later replaced by BBbear. Migo, Ramer, Ricco, Jellie, John Jay and I played "uno" . I hate that game. Ahaha! It was too long. We we're not able to end the game properly. I quit because I got so bored I wanna play "bohnanza". :P

We only had 1 game with "bohnanza" because we were served snacks. Hehehe! After the snacks, John Jay suggested we play "in-di-an-pak-bom". It was a fun action game. I wanna play it again. Hehe! After rounds of that, Kim suggested we'd play "Wolf2x". 

We had 2 rounds of "Wolf2x". The games was like "The Resistance". The players will each have their roles. The roles were hunter, spy, wolf, witch and villagers. There were 2 main groups wolves and villagers. Wolves win if they can kill all the villagers, villagers won otherwise. The witch can kill or heal anyone wounded by the wolf. The spy can spy on starting on the 2nd night. The hunter is not that useful. Haha! 

On the first game, my team "Wolves" won. Yahooooo! On the 2nd game, the "Wolves" still won. But I'm no longer a wolf, I was 1 of the witches. And I protected the only wolf who survived. I hate that twist. Tsk! I wish I just go with my instinct. I should have killed Mira even if it means killing myself. Mira and I was a couple in the game. If she dies, I die. So when she was wounded, I healed her. On the last part, there were only 4 people alive. Mira, Jellie, Me and Ramer. Ramer and I are witches. So the decision was either to kill Mira or Jellie. I wanted to kill Mira because my instinct was strong that she was the wolf. Ramer insisted that we'd kill Jellie instead because we have healed Mira before. With that, we lose. :( Next time, I would really go on my gut feel. 

UNO!

No Thanks!

Winning Wolves!

The 2nd Game!

After the games, we decided to stroll. Went to light candles, took pictures in the plaza and had grocery for the tour the next day.









Then dinner came. After dinner, I was so tired I slept while the others are chatting. At around 11 PM, the "singles" decided to stroll. It was fiesta after all. :)

We woke up early the next day for our tour. =)
