Goodnight Cebu, Hello Bohol

04.12.2012 by Leah // 4 Comments

AJ and I chose to have night flight out from Manila to Cebu last Thursday because of the long lenten break and we wanted to avoid the traffic and the long line at the airport.

There was no traffic or line at the airport at all.  NAIA Terminal 2 looked almost deserted with very few people waiting for their flights.

We traveled light.

I always bring a book with me every time I travel.  For this trip, I brought with me Elin Hilderbrand’s Barefoot, which was so good I was able to finish it in 3 days!    A perfect summer read.

Thankfully, our 9:00 p.m. PAL flight was not delayed and we arrived at my brother’s place in Cebu at around 11 in the evening.   We hit the sack right away.

We woke up early on Friday to get ready for our ferry trip to Bohol.   My darling little nephew, Liam, greeted us in his cute bike:

For our ferry ride to Bohol, my brother booked us seats at Ocean Jet.  It was a peak season for travelers, and the seats he was able to get for all of us were those in the business class section already (the cheaper seats have sold out).   But am glad he got us the most expensive seats, because the comfort we experienced in this 2-hour ride was so worth it.

Even Liam enjoyed the ferry trip.

The only downside was that they do not serve food.  They sell chips and instant noodles – that’s all.   No coffee, even.  And while I appreciated the movie they played on-board, it was so boring (and corny haha) so now you know why I was able to finish my book.

Thankfully, the water was so calm that day (and my cellphone too) that AJ and I were able to catch some sleep and re-charge for a busy afternoon that we will have in Bohol.

We arrived at our destination a little after 11:30 a.m.  – time for lunch!

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
