We left saturday morning (June 30) and arrived at Mactan International Airport. Walang sinabi sa domestic airport ng NAIA.. ehheehe.. We headed to the port to go to Bantayan Island. We stayed at Kota beach resort, and luckily we got to see the sand bar. Afterwards, before snorkeling, we went to Ogtong resort to see the cave. Ayos naman, mas nakapag swimming ako sa cave dun kesa sa Hingdanan cave in Bohol. When we were about to go snorkeling it rained (bummer), so we went back to Kota. Nothing beats beach + beer + cigs + cool weather. We ate dinner at "Marisqueara O Portuguese", eat all you can baby for only 195 bucks! Seafoods itech! Gusto ko pa mag crabs, kaya lang I was too full. After eating we were tired so we headed back to the resort for a drinking session. It was a perfect setting... drinks, full moon, summer playlist, and great friends. Tamang inom lang, we weren't drunk at all before we went to bed.

Day 2
The weather was finally clearing up. Breakfast and photoshoot before we went to Malapascua. It was a 2 hour boat ride (ng walang sandalan). We were hoping the rain clouds we saw won't reach Malapascua. Malapascua is a small island that you can tour in 2 hours by foot (sabi sa brochure.. hahaha). We checked-in at Blue Coral Resort. The view from our veranda was great! Shore sya na mabato pero malinaw ang tubig.. Nakakatuwa.. heheheh.. We had lunch at La Dolce Vita. Panalo! Promising! Gusto namin mag franchise! Hahaha. My 300+ worth of lunch was woooorth it! Gambiretti alla Sorentina.. yum! And also their panna cotta. Hahaha. God was good. The rain in bantayan was a blessing. You see, we were not planning to snorkel in Malapascua. But since it rained in Bantayan, we decided to go snorkeling. Ayos ren kasi diving spot pala talaga ang Malapascua, so ok ren ang mga snorkeling sites niya (although for me, mas maganda yung sa Bohol, plus lang na may Japanese shipwreck sa Malapascua). Dun ko nalaman na maliit lang island, kasi inikot namen sya. We also saw that the place beside the view from our veranda was acutally a graveyard, creepy ahahahha. We had dinner (which did not reach the oomph level of La Dolce Vita) and went back to the resort to sleep.

Day 3
Some of us woke up early for massage, while I stayed in bed. Hehehe. After breakfast, we headed to the beach for some swim and sun. Dun kami sa tapat ng La Dolce Vita kasi hindi masyado mabato dun. Some kids were even fishing while we were swimming.. as in sa shore.. Ang linaw ng tubig dun sobra! I just love it. Photoshoot ren, pyramids, jumps and dove poses (which I do not there show you guys =p). Had early lunch at La Dolce Vita, sarap kasi eh. Tapos we got ready to leave Malapascua for the city. Muntikan na nga kami di makaalis because we were left behind by the ferry (mga late kami ehehhehe). Buti na lang may mga special trips. Ang haba ng biyahe from the port to the city! Almost 4 hours, pero ok lang kasi chikahan galore kami sa van. It was already dark when we arrived in the city. A little cleaning up and rest before we headed to TOPS for dinner. Ang ganda ng city lights, plus full moon pa. Sayang lang we forgot to bring our tripod.. and jackets. Pero ok ren. The food was ok, lasang tocino yung barbecue. After dinner (and picture picture), we went to Ayala mall for coffee. Bo's coffee kami since locally made naman sya. I like it better than Starbucks because starbucks coffee is too sweet for me. After coffee, we headed back to the hotel to rest. It was the latest sleep for me sa whole cebu trip.. 1 AM.. o diba?? ang tanda ko na I can't stay up late anymore. Hehe.

Day 4
City tour! We first went to Sergio Osmeña's ancestral home. Interesting place. Cool cadillac. 1940's ata yun tapos aircon na and auto transmission. Next stop, Basilica del Sto Niño and Magellan's cross. Then Philippines Taoist temple before going to sutokil. Mehn! Seafoods galore!! Well the city tour was spent more on photo-ops. Hehehe. We arrived at the airport an hour early so we had to wait.

I had fun at Cebu, but it's such a big place. Four days is not enough. Hehehe. Panalo yung mga kasama ko =D. Maraming memorable "lines" (especially from Joy, example na lang yung title ng post) and places. I want to go back, especially to Malapascua (beacause of the place itself and La Dolce Vita).
Anyway, the above post is too detailed. Ang boring basahin, pero ayos lang, binasa niyo pa ren. Haha! Rami kasi namin ginawa and I was too tired to blog agad, kaya yan.. walang thrill. Hehe.
Oh did I tell you I almost drowned? Well not really, I just got tired from threading in the water. Before the "almost drowned" part, manong bangkero was nice enough to throw the ropes to help me go back to the pump boat.
And the japanese shipwreck rocks! Kahit unti lang nakita since takot na ko lumayo, and I'm tired. Creepy ren kasi feeling ko may makikita akong japanese sa ilalim ng tubig. Ehehehe..
Tapos, yung dinner sa malapascua, we were beside japanese guys who were with pinays who were loud. They keep shouting "shot! shot! kiss! kiss!" (I'm not sure if it was shoot or shot pero they were drinking so I assumed na shot). But then, nice naman yung isang pinay dun kasi we got to ask her for directions.
Rami foreigners sa Malapascua, some stay for weeks, and the people are nice (except for one crazy lady). Nicer than those in Bantayan. Mas ma-asikaso sila eh. Photo-ops are rampant too! Just remember, wag pagpaliban ang mga magagandang kunan, kasi baka di niyo na daanan ulit. A lesson I learned during our snorkeling trip, iikutin pala namin yung island, eh I thought dadaanan namen ulit yung mga nde ko na kunan ng pictures.
Sinabi ko na ba na masarap sa La Dolce Vita? The first italian restaurant in Malapascua?
Basta, masaya sya. And maganda. I don't advice staying in the city if you're in Cebu, malaki sya so go explore!
Just like Baler, for more info visit Shelley's blog. Although di pa na post as of the moment. Some of the pictures are taken by Shelley, Joy, Tar and MJ. Maybe I'll post more picture on my next posts.

But seriously, while waiting for the plane, I can't wait to go home. I missed Manila. Hehehe.. The trip helped a lot, since I realized that when I got to work, I accomplished more than what I usually finish. Hehe.. Refreshing kasi... Can't wait for the next PLG trip =D
