Five Seconds of Summer

Hello! Another backlog to blog about. When I mentioned on my previous posts here and here that I went home with my sister Precious last month for a short visit to Dad over the Valentine's weekend feels like I've spent only five seconds there. Travelling from Cebu city going to Southern Leyte is roughly ten hours from ferry to bus trip, really long! Most especially for the first timers and even if I used to visit our place once in a while, still feels like always a first time. 

When we arrived, we took a rest, woke up because of the summer heat and look for something cold to eat: HALO-HALO! :D  

We brought some goodies for Dad. For the record, my hometown, Hinunangan is also experienced Typhoon Yolanda, November last year. Though there were no damages (thank God!), our place is affected with the goods delivery coming from Manila which will pass by Tacloban. All the supplies there are now have minimum stocks and the price is high than the usual. They are getting supplies from Mindanao and Cebu as of the moment which already a bit pricey.

Still, I'm so happy to visit and hang out with my friends there :) Photos loading in 3...2...1...

Bus ride going home. 

Cool stores outside our ancestral house, though we lost our garage space to extend the space of the establishment. There's a small boutique they have good fashionable clothes, shoes, accessories and bags! So when I forgot to bring something to wear such as swimsuits or if there's a party to attend and have nothing to wear, I can buy it here na! :)

We went to cemetery that afternoon to visit our grandparents. :) I really like this old tree! :D 

Then after we went to the beach! wohoo! so windy and the waves were big. Did some crazy photo opts. HAHA!

Told you, so windy...

YAY! My Godson Grimmie, visited me at home! I thought I will never see him during my stay. He's so big now and I can't decide yet what gift I will give to him for his second's birthday in May.

It's been almost ten years since these two met each other, fell in love, in a long distance relationship (because of work) and still in love with each other. This couple is Grimmie's parents :) Sorry, I don't want a cheesy post here on my blog. HAHAHA!

Salve and Joemark

Videoke night!

Eiros, Janice, Salve

Meet Salve, who's into blogging since Friendster's days, visit her tumblr Witch Hail. I'm so happy to spend the night with her. Wehad a long conversation that night because we really have to catch up on each other about the latest news with our lives such as getting rid of belly fats! HAHAHA

Okay, we ended our hangout with a cheers at 2 AM. I left with no choice, since I don't like beer, they recommended this San Mig Lemon flavor and I like it! (only that night) 

We went back to the city as early as 6AM to catch the ferry trip at 11AM on Sunday. Here's a photo view from Hilongos port, Southern Leyte. I will post the other photos soon. ;) 

Leaving this post with this song: Try Hard by Five Seconds of Summer - Enjoy! :)

Have a great day everyone! :D

Photo Diary: San Pablo Island, Hinunangan So. Leyte

Spent my last days of summer in our hometown with my family! This is the best part of the season that I am looking forward to every year. I will get a chance to visit my Dad and spent time with him. 

We were surprised that there's a Tourist Help Desk for tourists and locals that will going to the islands. Hooray! Hinunangan Tourism! :) 

Clear splash! 

Hinunangan So. Leyte Photo Diary

The reasons why I had a short vacation at our hometown Hinunangan So. Leyte last week because I want to have a break from work and to attend our annual family gathering (last year beach outing here). But I didn't mention that it was also our Grandmother's Felicidad Sumbeling Delgado, retired teacher and military nurse, first year death anniversary on my previous posts and rants here on my blog. We offered prayer for nine days until the day of May 5th. We also attended mass as early as 5 o'clock and went to cemetery.

One of our plans is to go beachin' at small island in front of Hinunangan open bay. I'm not sure, but there are two islands (big and small) and they call it St. Peter and St. Paul islands. We didn't have enough sleep, but we were all excited.

 

We were at the shore as early as 7 AM :) Photo opts in 3... 2....1!

Life vests check! We don't know how to swim. =| With cousin Angela and Sister Precious. :) (Trivia: my name Jewel is after my sister's name. =D )

Beach Hut goodies! Sunblock for face SPF 65, what can I say? O_O

Sunblock for body with 100++ SPF to beat the heat and protect your skin. :)

Precious with beach hut frisbee! :)

We traveled 15 - 20 minutes going to the island and this is how lovely the place looks like.

Imagine yourself here. Yes?

Crystal clear water that made us swim when we arrived! :)

But before that, I had a quick shot, just don't mind my face I love the place, cool background eh? :)

 

YAY! Swimming time :)

Sami, Gang-Gang, Me, Angela and Precious

All the troops are complete. Cool shot by my brother Jericho! :)



Jericho! It was my turn to take a photo of him. He decided not to swim so I asked him to take photos of us while we are in the water.



And to he collected these cute sea creatures while we were at the island. You don't have to worry because he returned them at the shore to live! :)

Look what I've found! Heart shaped coral :) Of course, I keep this one as my souvenir. <3

Everyone was busy doing their own thing at the island, so self-portrait is the answer when my vanity striked.



Board shorts by Roxy. <3

Crystal photo of the sea water going home. We had a short stayed at the island from 8AM until 12NN. O_O What can you say? But we didn't felt that it was just 4 hours because we're all had fun! More photos to blog soon! :) <3

Few weeks until the summer ends, how will you spend it? And some of you will experience the summer next month! It's your turn now. :)

Have a great day everyone! ♥
