The schedule was to be in Manila by Saturday afternoon, Aug. 14, 2010... That was, as of the ticket purchased for me and labsy last year... Nonots was scheduled to be in Manila by that day as he prep for his work... But by I-don't-know-how, Papo's ship was in Batangas starting 1st week of the month and will still be there on that day and maybe onwards... So, by Friday, Aug 13, by virtue of authority of Mamo, purchased 6 tickets (her, me, labsy, nots, kels and neng) for a first flight from Davao to Manila the following day. After arriving in Manila, we went to the bus terminal in Buendia and went straight to Batangas to meet Papo... Thanks to my PPA family, we had a place to crash for our stay in Batangas. We visited Papo's ship, through a lil' boat going there (since it was only on anchorage). The weather was fine that day so, not much worry on the waves as the boat stroll along... Well, we didn't get nervous but Mom did... :)) But Papo was there to comfort her, s...

It's June 30, 2010. President Noynoy of the Philippines Inauguration Day. It's also my officemate/friend/kuya Jerry's advance birthday celebration (his birthday is tomorrow). Not just any birthday celebration, we went out of town, off to the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS), Davao del Norte. And not just any part of Samal Island, we went off-peak, out to the mini-Island of Malipano with a perfect place, a perfect beach and a perfect group of friends hangin' out... The trip started from the bus going to Samal, into the ferry, and stepped out in Peñaplata, Samal (bus cost us Php 20.00/pax from Sasa). From there, Kuya Jer requested a multi-cab to take us to the pier going to the Island. The Bus from Sasa, Davao to Babak, Samal (ferry) is just 'bout 10 minutes, but the trip from the ferry to Peñaplata was about 30. Then the multi-cab trip which if I may add, took the route in a cliff (scary), took about 45 minutes. Whew! It was fun for me though some of us were to...

At my last post, I asked, WHERE TO NEXT? Here's the answer!!! Off to Hongkong, Macau and Boracay!!! Well, we bought our tickets on a Cebu Pacific Airlines promo last May... Imagine, MNL-HK-MNL was only about Php 5,200 for me and labsy? Nice, right? and our MNL-KAL-MNL (Caticlan flights were canceled) was only Php 1,200? Who would not say yes to that? :D So watch out for more promos next time at www.cebupacificair.com, or better yet subscribe to the promo alert, so they will email or text you whenever... First Day - Sep 26: Manila and HongKong I woke up on a very jumpy Saturday morning (Sep 26), don't know why but I just have this annoying feeling inside, butterflies in my stomach I guess... Well, anyway, we went to the airport for our DVO-MNL flight, but instead of taking off at 12NN, we took off at 3:00 PM, flights were delayed due to the bad weather in Manila... The disastrous typhoon Ondoy came... We were told that Ondoy's here in the Phil., but we never knew how bad Phi...
