Cebu Week Vacation [Days 7]

MONDAY - Nov. 13, 2006

5:45 AM - Wake Up and Shower

yawn! hehe... i waited long for the sun to come out... and i did it! yehey! sunrise... o sunrise... aimee and i had fun doing the pics.. the videos... the silhouette(s)... which is kinda embarassing... hehe! kaye wasn't up yet... well, u know kaye... Ü that was actually my first experience to fully focus on sunrise... hehe... amazing... so, that's how it comes out... so... that how it starts... so, that how big it is... bright... and early!!! yeh.. we took a long time... haha! ok stop.

6:30 AM - Breakfast

I had the Filipino brekfast in spending our last minutes at the island... so soon.... huhuhu..... we are catching the 7:30 first trip back to hagnaya port....

7:30 AM - Off to Hagnaya Port

we were the last ones to ride the fairy this time we didn't take the air-con seats... we wanted to enjoy the view.... though its hard to leave the island... wwaaaaahhhhhhhhh.............

9:30 AM - Off to Cebu City

and we're back.... this time we are taking the bus to the city... fortunately we are early.. haha.... anyway, we were confident that the trip won't be too long coz its our cebu fav bus: CERES! haha! its still a long ride, so we sleep.. saya! sarap matulog! yawn.

12:00 NN - SM City

we stop here for lunch... aimee is set to meet with her relatives then kaye and i to tour the queen city... yey! syempre prang bata na may field trip.... wippeeee! txted our very own Manong... ung sa TOPS... pra mgpasundo... we eat at Sunburst Chicken.. not bad and nothing special... gutom lng.. Ü

1:15 PM - The Cebu Tour: Carbon Market
keychains - php 10.00 each (free lettering)

we arrived here 20mins after... then started taking on the shops one by one to look for souvenirs for friends.... we were looking for keychains... after some time we found one... at first, we were thinkin twice because the cute keychains we found don't have any text on them to tell us its from Cebu.... syempre, maabilidad si kuya noel(si manong cebu taxi service) he asked the local folks if they can add labels on them and yey! they can! we had pics with them too.. they liked the pics... i enjoyed talking to them and laughing with them.... feels homie. Ü

2:10 PM - The Cebu Tour: Magellan's Cross

the famous cross.. we were there... like they say.. kinda disappointing.. nothing special.. nothing amazing about the place.. like they say.. like quiapo before.... but the ceilings of its place was nice... i like the art... we had a hard time taking pictures coz.. its too high... haha!

2: 15 PM - The Cebu Tour: Bassilica de Sto. Nino

a few steps after the cross you will reach the church... its a big old spanish inspired church... pretty obvious actually... i like the fact that its big... i like how it looks on the outside, i like the details... i didn't like the inside of the church.... except for the garden.. there were a number of people even its a monday... its a busy church...

dumaan kmi dun sa sindihan ng mga kandila.. (sorii, di ko lam tawag e.. i forgot..) i like the curved cemented walls at the back.... i had to take a picture even if i wasn't suppose to.. sorry...

2:45 PM - The Cebu Tour: Fort San Pedro

like Fort Santiago in Manila, they have this... i haven't explored Fort Santiago so i can't really compare... it was this castle like fort... that has canons on top... watch towers on the side... pure rock surrounding whatever's inside.... large wooden doors... as if im awaiting an army to come out... it looked nice inside... i like the walk ong the left side.... i didn't understand the monkey statue on the tree.... it oversized... haha! and then the walk to the right side is ronda la tienda... which means te stores are located there... souvenirs, drinks, food.. etc... upstairs is a museum which features old artifacts of the history in cebu... which we can't take pics of.. heheh! naawa lng ako dun sa guard kaya di ko na sya dinaya... hehe..

3:30 PM - The Cebu Tour: Taoist Temple

syempre... palalampasin ba namin to?! the very famouse taoist temple... we came here to take pics of coarse and primarily because of the chance u get to ask Buddha for some guidance to ur questions.... i had fun asking... i think i finished 4 questions straight yes, 1 maybe then went yes again... ang nkkinis.. ung for not-so-much-for-myself question.. dun pa sya mag-no! weeh.... hehee fine!

4:30 PM - The Cebu Tour: Casa Gorordo

this is a house full of cebu history... i like this the best from all the places we toured.. y? because it the most educational about cebu.. hehhe... it has rooms.. like a casa.. from bedrooms, kitchen, living rooms, veranda, dining and toilet! ul walk on a red carpet path to view the rooms.... ul see obviously the furnitures are old and very antique... ang saya! feeling tourist ka tlga! so sad di pwede masyadong picture! so, nakaw pics lng meron ako.. hehee... its floor grounds look nice too.. perfect for picture takin! haha! kulit!

5:15 PM - The Cebu Tour: Pasalubong Shoppin'
