I Just Need to Get Away

Last December 26 until 28 (though the original plan was until 29, Daddy asked to cut it short -__-) of 2012, my family and I went to Cebu and Bohol for a vacation. Finally! haha because this is our third (and final) attempt to go there. The first was supposedly last 2011 but I suddenly got sick during the day of departure (I know, I’m sorry). Second attempt was, I think, when our family suddenly had a retreat to attend to. So now I can finally say, I’ve been to Cebu and Bohol to take a picture with Lapu-Lapu and tarsiers.

So let me introduce the family first from left to right: Mommy, Daddy, Karen, Ate Kat and I. My face is still kind of swollen because my wisdom teeth (one from each side) was extracted just a few days before this. And btw, you could see Daddy smiling here. Yup, that’s already counted as a smile for him.

Though the tarsiers are still sleeping because they’re nocturnal, I caught one tarsier who was sleeping in late and took a picture of it with its eyes wide open.

Such a bad-ass tarsier still awake when it’s already late in the afternoon. Tsk smh.

I won’t detail our trip because that may consume a lot of space haha so I’ll just pick the highlights or my favorites

We went to Magellan’s Cross since it is a historical place there. It’s like the mark of the spreading Christianity throughout the Philippines.

We even bought five candles (one for each of course) with different colors; each color representing what we want to pray for. Ate Kat chose green for success; Daddy chose yellow for good health; Karen chose (or maybe she had no choice at all) blue for Mama Mary; Mommy chose red for love; I chose pink for happiness. I don’t think I need to say why I wanted to be more happy than I already am. :)

We did not really roam Cebu since we did not have much time but I really liked Bohol. I bought a shirt with tarsier and hearts all over it because I SINCERELY love Bohol.

I even had a picture with the biggest python (I think) in the Philippines, and it just needs a bit more to beat the current record on Guinness World Records. I was scared at first, especially when they said its meal is a 60kg pig, thinking I might be mistaken as one haha. Eventually, “napasubo” ako since no one in the family wants to take a picture with it.

Meet Prony! It weighs over 300 kg but I forgot its current length.

We stayed in Crowne Regency Plaza along Jones Avenue and its Skywalk Adventure was really thrilling! I had the greatest scare of my life. Ate Kat and Karen did not join us because they were scared. I was, too! But I did not want an opportunity like this to simply pass.

Image

Highest point of my life. My heart was beating so hard and fast with excitement, terror, thrill and whatever feels I felt back then.

I swear after the picture was taken, that sweet smile of mine was replaced with an :O seriously. I just really wanted to stand already. You could even see my whole legs hanging out! I could have died either from falling or so much nervousness.

I don’t think I have any more to share (or if I still have any space to use) so I’ll be leaving you all with my mom turning into a fairy. Peace out, yo!
