its amazing how time flies like Superman high on amphetamines. 3 months have gone by so fast, feels like my life is running a 50k marathon without stops or on a car chase of 120 mile/hour speed. i cant believe that in a few days fall officially starts and my long chasing-after-summer vacation is finally coming to a close. in as much as i would like to stay and watch the beautiful seasonal senescence of leaves, plans are brewing back at home and i just cant wait to wear my optimism on my sleeve. life here is nothing short of wonderful and i feel so blessed to be surrounded by warm, beautiful and kindhearted souls. but before i get all mushy, slushy and sentimental in this comeback blog, here's a big shoutout and thank you post to Anshe and David T! i love you two and you both know why! i shall see you and NYC soon! if not this year, maybe next? ;)
anyway, im so hyped up for fall and i cant wait to bring on the warm mustard-color goodness of the season!

first day in bohol was spent visiting all amazing tourist spots. its our third time here but the place never fails to amaze us. its incredible how they've kept their pier clean and well-organized. what was even more impressive was the seaport's comfort rooms! for someone who is so anal about commode cleanliness, tagbilaran seaport will surely get my vote should there be a cleanest seaport restroom contest.
the family stayed at Panglao Bluewater Beach Resort and although the place was still undergoing construction, our stay was truly remarkable.
to give you a better perspective of the resort and its amenities, here's a little note from the hotel's brochure:
Panglao Bluewater Beach Resort is just 30 minutes from Bohol Airport and the Tagbilaran City's shopping and commercial district. It is close to popular tourist destinations such as the historic Baclayon Church, world-famous Chocolate Hills, Loboc River Cruise and the Tarsiers.
For accommodation, the first phase of the resort comprises of 54 elegantly appointed guestrooms and villas. In the pool wing, all ground-level rooms have a private veranda with direct access to the pool. First floor rooms have private balconies and for guests who prefer a more luxurious accommodation, the Villas offer premiere rooms with private outdoor dipping pool. Deluxe pool view is a spacious guestroom that surrounds the main swimming pool.
since we're a big family, we got two rooms and luckily (as always! lol), the sister and i got 1 room all to ourselves! instead of sharing it with our two younger brothers, my dad insisted that the boys stay with them! how cool is that?! but that should not come as a surprise cos ever since we hit puberty, dad practiced that we get a separate room for us girls only! nice, eh? haha :)
their deluxe room is simple yet elegant and furnished with cantilevered beds and its very own iHome system(!!!) among all others. although the first phase's first floor rooms are still under construction, the place is already beautiful! too bad the weather was all gloomy that weekend, would have soaked it up in their secluded beachfront! oh well, maybe next time? :)
i dont wanna bore you will all the other details so here's our itinerary:
• Loboc Ecotourism Adventure Park. their Zipline has a breathtaking view of the Loboc River and it has two levels! it's a must try! and can i say that i just conquered my fear of heights?! yeahbah.
• Loboc River Cruise. after the exhilarating experience, we all made our way down to the Loboc River for our sumptuous lunch buffet.
• Tarsiers. a short drive from our drop off point was the place of our little primate friends. we were all glad to see that most of them are no longer caged.
• Chocolate Hills. our third time here and its breathtaking, still.
• Baclayon Church. we made a short stop here but wasn't able to take some decent pictures since it was already dark.
• Hotel. to freshen up and get ready for another delectable buffet.
can i just say that we had the best tour guide ever? Ate Tessie is sooo talkative and funny and she knows all the common species in the region. of course its her job to be oriented with these kind of things but she made learning about Bohol so much fun! thanks, Ate Tess!
