September 2009 - WoW Philippines

Spent my compliance leave in my home country. There are a lot of things I miss in Manila, but likewise there are a lot of things I've gotten used to in my new home that I am sure I will miss later on when we decide to migrate to Canada.

My 10-day leave was spent with my family & friends. Days flew so fast that it felt like I only spent hours in Manila.

My eldest sister was on her chemo therapy fighting against Stage 3C Breast Cancer. :( It was sad but we had high hopes of winning the battle.

Highlights of the trip are as follows:

CEBU-BOHOL TRIP WITH FAMILY

Facts that you may be interested to know:
  1. Chocolate Hills -- 1268 hills in 30-50 meters high; the hills are covered with grass during wet season and turns chocolate brown when it's dry season. Up to this day, geologists have not reached consensus on how they were formed
  2. Baclayon Church -- one of the oldest church in the Philippines
  3. Tarsier -- is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men's hand.
  4. Man-Made Mahogany Forest -- a 2 km stretch of densely "planted" Mahogany trees
  5. Loboc River -- a natural emerald-green river
Shangri-La, Mactan Cebu

I would always want to go back to this place...always. It's pricey, but hell worth it!


CATICLAN, BORACAY ISLAND

And this is our first and only love.

The finest white beach sand I will ever see (probably) in the whole world. I'm a beach bum and if I just have the time and money to go to ALL the beaches in the world --I would. But I am thankful enough, that this small island is in my hometown. I pity those who haven't been here because they haven't seen the best.


My partner and I stayed at Discovery Shores, Boracay as part of our birthday celebration --partied the rest of our stay; fully utilized the hotel's amenities and hotel room...it was just perfect and completely unforgettable!
