South Cebu - 500 Peso challenge

1/29/2018 Family Reunion
Yung 9:00 AM flight namin delayed na move siya to 1:00 PM.

3:00 PM Arrived at Mactan international airport.
Walang kwenta, kami lang na move samantalang un ibang kamag anak namin with same flight number hindi delayed. What sorcery is that? I asked for explanation but not clear information from them. Pati sila clueless. Kaya nagpa chicken joy nalang sila, sayang nga kasi konting oras nalang free flight na sana yung kapalit.

Exploring South Cebu | Sample itinerary

This is not my first time visiting Cebu. I already explored north Cebu (Bantayan Island) that's why I was excited when my Auntie told me to make another itinerary for our family trip in South Cebu. 
Hindi lang ito basta basta trip kundi isang malaking reunion na rin for our family since it's been ages since the last time we saw each other.

Here's the itinerary I made before our trip.

Hong Kong Itinerary - Storya ng virgin

Hola! I am sooo backk -- Actually nahihirapan akong bigyan ng time yung pagsusulat ko kasi I have a full time job (excuses) pero totoo - tinatamad lang talaga ako at mas pagod sa trabaho and I guess I am more focused on the new path I am currently paving "Motherhood".

Alam ko naman hindi niyo ako namiss pero gayunpaman -- I will still share my first out of the country trip. WOHOOO! 

Nakagawian ko na talaga na mag draft ng itinerary to follow before the trip and making sure na nacover ko lahat like how to go from this place to another. Spots to visit (especially yung mga hindi ganun ka famous). Sabi ko nga this is our first time na lumabas ng bansa kaya medyo information overload yung itinerary na ginawa ko.

Patience is a virtue (Sohoton and Siargao 3 Islands tour) 10/21/2017

As early as 5:30 AM We left Nine cloudsPHP 4500 (1500/pax) 3 Islands plus Bucas grande and Sohoton

Bought fruits to the boulevard
PHP 54 Banana
PHP 126 Ripe Mango

Kaso upon arrival at the boulevard wala pang tindang isda kaya we had to wait nalang sa isang karinderya

See you soon My love (Bye Siargao) 10/22/2017

No need to wake up early - yung feeling na you can stay in bed for extended hours kasi wala ka ng iniisip na tour. Partly sad rin kasi you know you're leaving the island na.

Ate breakfast at 7:00 AM, oh before I forget - you should try nine cloud's breakfast.
Masarap at affordable + instagrammable!

After breakfast we headed to cloud9 for photo ops.
Yung mga kasama ko nag rent ng board to surf while ako naman nag enjoy lang sa ocean view habang nasa hammock.

Super restless ko during this trip, I was actually planning to walwal and party hard pero lagi akong pagod at antok every night. Little did I know that I am already 6 weeks pregnant hahaha.
Grabe natatawa nalang ako kapag naisip kp mga ginawa ko dito. I am glad we're both healthy ni baby shark and makapit siya. :)

Around 11:00 AM nasa port going to Surigao na kami kasi we have a 7 PM flight.

Pag dating ng Butuan airport ayun cancelled flight buti nalang yung kasama ko may kamag anak where we spent the night.

Our flight was re-scheduled the next morning.

This ends my Siargao journey.
Kindly watch our trip's videos here

Sugba sa Sugba Lagoon (Sugba Lagoon) 10/20/2017

It's sad - I was not able to back up my blog post.
Draft was accidentally deleted.

Since I am too dumb to back up my notes about Sugba Lagoon, I will just post photos of our trip and provide feedback on the experience.

PATAWAD!!! Lesson learned for me.
BACK UP EVERYTHING!!

It was Love at first sight (Siargao) 10/19/2017

Cash on hand: PHP 2120

4:15 AM Left the inn, took us roughly 15 minutes to find a ride.
We are trying to catch the 5:00 AM trip, some blog says first strip is 6:00 AM while some are saying 12:00 noon, maybe their ferry schedule changes that's why it is much better to give them a call ahead of time if you have a tight schedule or go there early just like what we did.

There's none But'wan (Butuan - Surigao Del Norte) 10/18/2017

Cash on hand: PHP 4000
O diba ang tikas ko, babyahe ako PHP 4000 lang dala ko.

5:00 AM Airport bound
5:30 AM Arrived at the airport
Online kiosk to check in kasi wala naman akong dalang for check-in baggage

Butuan - Surigao - Siargao sample Itinerary

So ito na nga, syempre hindi naman ako sasabak or pupunta sa isang lugar kung wala akong itinerary na susundin or if hindi man 100% masunod eh atleast may guide.

Sa totoo lang na torn ako between staying in Siargao or to explore Butuan (including Britania island, Tinuy-an falls and enchanted river) pero since umiral ang akin pagiging surfer blood and napilit ako ng isang kaibigan na nauna sa siargao nag decide ako nadumiretso ng isla agad agad. booom kara karaka!

Adrenaline filled day in CDO and DAHILAYAN Adventure Park

Day 2 - December 12 2015 (Saturday) – Adrenaline rush awesome day!
I remember, one of my friend recommended to try the zipline in Bukidnon, I researched about it and found out that this was one of Bukidnon's pride - Dahilayan Adventure park, Asia's longest dual zipline; who wouldn't want to try that? I added it right away to my bucket list together with the CDO’s White water rafting. I continued my research and found a very affordable Raft and All Zip package from Great white water tour that’s why I reserved a slot for two; they merged us to other group since there are a minimum people needed for the rafting. Package rate is PHP 1699.00/pax which includes round trip hotel transfers, snack at Dahilayan Adventure Park and Lunch which isn’t really that bad at all.

Entering the Northern gate of Mindanao: Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental adventure - Settling down

Day 1 - December 11 2015 (Friday) – Settling down

It was just another SOSO (same old, same old) day at the office, missed my midnight lunch (I work at night), had to stay 1 hour past my shift to make sure all my deliverables

 were properly endorsed since they won't be able to get a hold of me for few days.

CAGAYAN DE ORO - BUKIDNON - CAMIGUIN itinerary

Hey guys! it's me again, I just wanted to share the itinerary I made for our CDO-BUKIDNON-CAMIGUIN TRIP. Please take note that our actual itinerary had change due to some unforeseen circumstances but below is still doable.

Exploring North Cebu | Sample itinerary

Booked our Cebu flight last November 28 2014, when i saw an online ad about Cebupacific air offering piso fare I immediately grabbed my laptop and booked a flight bound to cebu. The main reason why i wanted to go to cebu is because I wanted to see the whale sharks again, my first encounter with them was summer of 2014 in Baler but it was short unplanned encounter that's why I've decided to visit them in Oslob Cebu. Upon further research about the place, I discovered that swimming with whalesharks in Oslob is discouraged by some environmental groups because it affects the ecosystem and putting the whalesharks at risk. They tend to stay in oslob for good because they became dependent to the feeders (tourists and boatmen).
