March 11
Woke up 5am , then prepared na my things for todays trip. Good i ate bfast because the van arrived almost 7:30 am na and bcoz of the traffic, we arrived amost 12 noon at terminal2.. Had brunch at cafe France at the airport, then did some crocheting for a kids dress top while waiting for our biarding time which was 2:15pm...was caught my attention about the scissor that i had in my carry bag, and was allowed to bring it along when they saw that it was a school scissor for my crochet...flight was delayed and we almost take off at 3:30 when we should have left by 2:30 pm apparently from an advise from bohol of a cloudy whatever... Twuz so cold on our way to manila coz of showery rain, good i brought along a neck warmer and a shawl, coz i was just wearing my aztec dress...then again we were delayed for another 10-15 mins on air encircling around tagbilaran airspace for whatever reason, then twuz a bumpy touch down...but all in all, we had a safe flight...then from the airport, there was another 30 mins enroute to Bellevue Hotel...Im with Salia Bonus in room 110, just across the pool...twuz a sumptous dinner, with a game to culminate the night...its a lil bit chilly tonight around the hotels' surroundings...I took my bath now before going to bed, coz our hair blower in the room doesn't have an adaptor...

Woke up past 6 am then after our shower, had our bfast, then went around for some picture taking..started on time for the days activities..then for our guest emcee, we had Luis Manzano...I was chosen to be the story teller for our group, kaya I saw him really up close...actually kami nmn lahat..then after lunch, we practiced for our presentations at the fellowship night...while waiting for dinner, i finished on my bring along crochet dress top...we all had a grand time watching the loboc choral group which made the group give them some cash for future use for their international stints...then again for tonights' performer, i was assigned as the narrator...we're still awaiting the winner for now..coz there were 9 groups....we were among the people smart winners in the end...and as expexted, we all each got a bagful of bohol products and twuz culminated with a wonderful fireworks display...Salia wanted to swim but when we looked out of our room which is just across the pool, there were nobody else around, so she decided to do it tomorrow- hopefully...
March 13
Woke up early and as planned, Salia went to have her swim at 6am, while I had my shower, then I went out to get her some pictures and Dr. rubio was there watching over her until I took his place....then after bfast, we had some more picture taking with the group then went to chocolate hills after 20-25 mins ride..our tour guide was really knowledgable of the place...some of my take away notes were: there was a time when they had a decree obliging soon to be wed couples to plant 5 mahogany trees before their license will be given..then siniguelas pala ay spanish plum, which is grown around the place, their regional flowers are hibiscus and bounganvilla, they still practice the barter trades if you don't have cash, you can exchange your goods with another goods..there is zero criminal activities over the place as they are only a million population and almost everybody knows everybody...in fact, students can ask their bus or jeepney drivers to get their allowance from their parents and they'll get it for sure the next day...boholanos are really the place of friendly people, in fact ,i f they do invite you for their fiesta, you should really go, or they will really be heart broken if you dont and that includes that when they give you take outs, then you should really accept them to express your appreciation of their hospitality, coz their fiestas are really the places' main event of the year - in fact, if you have folks from their place, they won't go home even for funerals or bdays, but you should really allow them to go home for their town fiestas which is almost a month in celebration for the entire province..also, when you see a bunch if white flowers cascading down the bamboo clusters, it means soon that bamboos will die..the reason, why most of their churches crushed down after the devastating earthquake last year, was bcoz most of the structures are made up of stacked up limestones, which is very abundant in their place without any steel reinforcements..that cezar montano is their official endorser for WOW Philippines and i think he came from Panglao, Bohol..since Bohol was chosen as one of the tourists' destination of the Philippines.
I made it through the 214 steps going on top of the viewdeck to watch over chocolate hills, but its just a straigth staircase unlike bfore where there was a bell we could ribg to make our wishes come true...then, we proceeded to the Tarsiers sanctuary and waited for Dra joy and Salia and Tetet who were the last ti arrive and was joked to ride the habal habal cab if they took it a lil longer...then to our last destination, which was the floating resto and our boat was #6 and d other group was at #3.. At first, galit galit muna coz we were all very hungry at 1:00 pm, then after, we started singing with the crooners, then Dra. Samonte an OB from Naga, started singing and dancing until everybody was joining in and with picture taking in between along the side of the boat which we call- buwis buhay😂..we reall had a great time and other boat riders were all looking at us coz were all so loud in singing and dancing and really having a great time, so we were the last group to get out of the boats...twuz good coz our plane was on time and we arrived 11 mins ahead of time and it was a great touch diwn compared to the one we had at bohol...had dinner at Rose and Grace, after a long, long while...I got my fave longanisa which still tastes the same and at the end , I had the left over pata teem and grilled tuna and a pc of my lonagganisa as take out, which the kids of course partake when i got home...Paolo was still out of the house, when i arrived coming from the wake of Jay ems uncle and husband of alma..so, so tired but had some chat p nmn with ate...we were here at almost 10pm, much, much earlier than anticipated...
