Travel: Bohol, Philippines 2016

Our first trip together! Thanks for this mini vacay from work (internship), Ate. It was our first time in Bohol and it was perf. Our hotel was perf, flight was okay, tours were satisfying enough and cheap refrigerator magnets! We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights and here is how we spent it. 

Our flight was late in the morning at around 11AM and there were no delays, surprisingly. We went by AirAsia and as short hauls are, it was unpleasant. We reached the hotel, checked in and finally got to chill right before sunset... since you can't really do anything Bohol things (what?) once the sun's out, we walked around Alona beach and chilled in the pool until dinner.

Second day, we went for a countryside tour. You can see the list of places we went to down below, we skipped the zipline and all those activities, you'll need more than 4 days if you're into that. The tour was from 8AM to 3PM, it can be longer it's really upto you. 

Third day, we went for a sea tour. The same tour guide with his boat friends (lolwhat) took us to see the dolphins, the marine life of Balicasag and this virgin island... Before we had lunch, we went for a massage by the beach and fell asleep. 

On our last day, we just stayed in our hotel and spent our last hours there. We finally had the bee farm ice-cream whatever we've been eyeing the whole time. 

Our hotel was really nice, if you want to go to Bohol you should stay there it's the least expensive expensive hotel. Our tour guide was okay, not the best (what do I know) but you can also hire him if you want to (lol) scroll down for his contact number. People knew Kuya Bernard or what he does so you don't really pay for him where there are fees for entrance, environmental, etc. FYI, it's not a legit tour guide (what are those) but he is a local who has a car/van and can drive you around. There are no cabs in Bohol, you just hire carpool and they can also become your tour guide. I saw tourists with scooters, Idk if they rent that. We just met ours at the airport, he dropped us at the mall for an hour and then to our hotel. The next day he was also the one who took us for the countryside tour and on the next day sea tour. Hotels provide tours too, we just thought we'd save money if we didn't have it from them and I think that you have to go in a group if there were more people.

Event: Bloggers United 6

Oh, Blogging! I am so back. I got inspired again after attending the sixth installment of Bloggers United (on December 7, 2013) after missing the last two. Anyway, it's becoming more and more intense after every event. There was a long line before you could get into the room where the event was. It was exciting because the doors were shut close and they would only open it when they were ready to let in another batch of shoppers in! The first picture below shows how I was the most patient of them all.

I met Kryz Uy, Patricia Prieto, Lissa Kahayon (I was surprised how excited I got when I saw her! #fitspiration), Ava Te, my personal friend Rafa Concepcion and in my surprise the girl who I discovered in SoundCloud who turned out to be a blogger, Reese Lansangan!
