PHOTODIARY and VLOG: Bantayan Island Cebu Summer 2014

I love this photo. My new cover photo on my facebook and twitter account. :) 

Hello everyone! :)

As promised, I will have post of my trip to the beach weeks ago. When I went to Bantayan Island for the first time, it was our company outing (spell: Lucky) when we had no worries with all the expenses all we have to do is to prepare ourselves and pack our things.

This time, it's different! When my friends and I decided to have a getaway to the island because we are being bothered with the "beach-weather" whenever we see the clouds and sunshine outside our office window. I know, not productive, but we are being creative.

I had no choice but to organize the trip. I ended up booking our trip in Beach Placid Resort. The place where I stay few years ago.

We decided to be early as possible so we can spend more time there. We left at 1:30AM going to Hagnaya Port we took V-Hire ride, so we can have our own space (okay, so we can sleep...)  and will save more time than riding a bus. We were so early! :) 

Van Hire Fare: PHP170 | Ferry Fare: PHP170

YAY! Our first group photo when we arrived at Beach Placid Resort. We got the beachfront room good for 4 persons for PHP3000/night and PHP300/pax for additional. :)

 Overnight is very short, but if you are productive then, you feel that you're in island for days.

I hurriedly take off my shoes and wear my flip flops! Oh, I miss this sugary sand of the island :) 

Life is better in flip flops, eh?! :)

Our room! :)

 Thought I will not see palm trees at the beach. Good thing they are strong to survived Typhoon Yolanda last year! 

Breakfast. Filipino style! Danggit (dried fish), Egg, Fried Rice and Coffee. 

For our meals during our stay, there are local residence near the resort that offers to cook meals and will charge for only affordable amount. We bought our food at the market and they will cook it by our request. We love it! We saved more and help locals there for an extra income. 

After our breakfast, some of them decided to catch some sleep. I tried to wake them up to join me and Issa will hitting the beach! Sad to say, my powers didn't work out. HAHA!

Gadgets by the beach.

Remember my photos on this post? Issa took it and me took a photo of her! :) 

Oh. Beach weather, so lovely! 

YAY! Make it light :) 

Cloud porn! 

While watching the clouds and embracing the sea breeze, Hendrix was taking some selfie shot and because his camera lens is wide, I was also in the photo. HAHAHA! I love it, so candid! :) 

Then someone came out from the room and still sleepy. But really, I am loving my transition lens eyeglasses :) 

Excuse my sunblock lotion on my forehead :D

STALKING TIME! :) 

Billiard afternoon session. 

The moment when I have to prove that my College P.E. was billiards! Btw, I won! :) 

Sunset! Unfortunately, the sunset is on the other side :( Still I had fun taking photos.

 Palm trees!

We noticed that there were no live bands at the other resort, because most of the residence there are still on process of moving on from what happened to them last year. 

Stars! :D

PHOTO BY HENDRIX! 

The next day, we were all excited to take a photo of sunrise! Unfortunately, we don't have any because dark clouds was covering the sun. Pfftt.. better luck next time. :)  Anway, we did so much fun! Here are our photos before we leave.

To sum up the whole trip, I edited the video and tried my best to gather all the moments of our trip. I love the song I used in this video, recently, I'm listening to summer-vibe songs. So, hope you guys, enjoy! :)

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
