Bantayan is it!

By ZelmarqSaturday, May 31, 2014Bantayan, Cebu travel, My LaagsNo comments

Dreams do come true. My bantayan dream has come true. Thank you Lord.
Its a nice feeling being able to embrace God's creation, to think that He really created this for me to enjoy. Im must be His very special creation.

How to get to Bantayan:

1. From Cagayan de oro city; you have two options, first is the plane, a much faster way or like me, I chose the boat which was a regret coz I was 8 hours delayed due to boat technical problems. So next time I promised myself to take the plane instead.

2. From the port took the taxi to the North bus which was a few minutes away. I took the V-hire going to bogo instead coz its more convenient and the travel is not disrupted by passengers asking to stop for a ride. It takes shorter time with the vhire than the bus. At bogo point we took the tricycle to hagnaya port for 25 pesos each.

3. Its 170 pesos each for the ferry ride to bantayan.

4. Once in bantayan you can hire pump boat to virgin island and the boat rental is from 1200 to 2000 php, we were lucky, we got the 1500 complete with snorkelling gear and a very kind boatman. The virgin island is a must see place if you are in bantayan , its perfect, amazingly breath taking you wont stop swimming.

Summer is almost over

Summer is almost over and I cant imagine my summer to end just like this.
No summer outing.
No beach outing.
No out of town activities.
Sigh.
I went to our local beach and its not that fascinating.
Its below the normal. But still many enjoyed, while me, I just sat there and dreamed something grand, with the white sand and etc....

need to really call it summer

But I have not lost hope. I still have may to enjoy and I will catch up and enjoy my summer.

Its never too late.

Im hoping I could visit bantayan late this may.

My eyes fixed on the day i will set foot that amazing island.

Im excited and I cant wait.

Tick tock tick tock the clock, the days dragged and its running slow.

Im getting ready, I have packed my bag, just packed lightly. I dont need much stuff in an island.Just myself, my tablet, my charger and my phone. A few clothes for the late summer get away and my summer essentials.

after the plunge I took a very quick pose; it flooded the other night that's why the water was not that clear

Tuyom and startfishes

By ZelmarqFriday, April 13, 2012Cebu travel, My LaagsNo comments

I call it tuyom since I dont know what that black living thing beside the starfishes is called in the english language. Reminds me of happy moments with officemate during summer outing. The smiles of those who were once with us and now already just a memory while others are still here through the many years of hard work. They say its poisonous and the only cure available for that is urine. Yes urine, you heard it right. I have witnessed our officemate sir malon one company outing, he went to the deep part of the sea to snorkel without gear and was not aware that were lots of tuyoms there and he got hurt. The sting according to was painful and so we have to look for a guy to unrinate his foot and then the company nurse helped in getting the black needle like tuyom from sir marlon's foot. It was a not so nice outing experience for sir marlon and for those who witnessed it , but also a lesson that next time we should be very careful .

Im still trying to think about the english term for tuyom. I need to make more research and post the results here.

Easter sunday food trip

By ZelmarqThursday, April 12, 2012Cebu travel, food trip, My LaagsNo comments

Its easter sunday. Praise God for the message that He prepared for us through His servants and praise God for the fellowship with new friends in Cebu, they are young and are sharing their lives in reaching out to others and spreading the good news to many. Indeed, im energized and challenged to see the kind of fire that's burning in their hearts, you can feel the passion for serving and getting involved in God's work. After the fellowship Wendy cherry and me went to our place and I toured them to my favorite place papakits, wahehehehe, I'll never grow tired going there, the place always reminds me of God's splendor with the creation like a painting changing before my very eyes.

round one

round two

round three....

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

The emblem of suffering and shame;

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain. —Bennard

To escape sin’s curse, run to the cross.
