Highlighting 2011 Part II: Travelling

This is the second part of my 2011 highlights and my favorite parts of the year that make me realize that I could probably be a travel and food blogger in Cebu me self – but certainly not as good as my idol, Estan or Enrico or Anton Diaz, and Sinjin.

Ah, who could ever forget the series of beaches, sunbeds, canopy beds and sunsets that I have had affairs with last year? In the first month of 2011, the gang trooped to Hilton Hotel Cebu, the last quarter of the hotel’s pinkiness before it was turned into Movenpick Cebu.

With the best setting, the perfect weather and the busog high after a Sutukil lunch, it was the perfect weekend for a fun shoot. The Hilton Cebu was turned into one production setting that day! Thank you to our photographer friends who indulged us that day. Yves did the styling, Joy and Aoi modeled while the rest of us goofed around!

Come Valentines week, the boyfriend and I wanted to do an annual Valentine-in-Boracay thing and started that tradition in 2011. I cannot stress this enough – the weekend after Chinese New Year or the second weekend in February is the perfect season to be in the island especially when people go to Boracay for New Years and Summer – less people means lesser queues and if there are lesser queues then it means everything is not expensive!

When we went parasailing in Boracay, the rates were still 1200 each. Peak season charges are twice that price. Publishing a few photos from this travelogue – Continue reading »

We tried, Moalboal

We owe a lot to this lovely island who took care of us when our spirits were lost in Moalboal. My second time in the northern part of Cebu brought a lot of memories. It was our first trip together and Basti’s first out of town getaway. He was so tiny when we first brought him here in 2009. We can’t help but take another photo of the same spot where he held up Basti at the restaurant of HK Resort. The patio that overlooks the beach still has the same view two years ago except that Basti was 2lbs heavier now.

Virgin Beaches of Moalboal

I finally got the vacation I wanted for summer! Well, not entirely just this vacation but I meant, you know, quality time with the boyfie and the Prince Sebastian, the dog. Best time to get away? Memorial Day Weekend! Because there was no work on Monday, the boyfriend and I decided to go to Moalboal Beach (South) on Sunday morning. We have NO idea how to get there and we thought of commuting all the way to Moalboal Beach so after asking around, we found ourselves on a non-aircon bus at the South Terminal heading South. Bus fare by the way was P180. Measly. 

Two hours, 3 packs of Carcar chicharon later, we got off the bus and had lunch at some fastfood place by the road. Basti got sick the entire time he was on the bus. Carsick too bad he puked twice. The second time he vomited I had to place him near the window so he could get air. The lady behind me wasn’t too happy when she got a faceful of Basti’s ugh, breakfast. Sorry! He only eat dog food so it is not really that gross, I think.

See how cute my babies are! Haha.
