June Jitters in the Island: Steps, Scooters & Feasts

My Chaotic 10k Steps

Our 10,000 step challenge with my nieces turned into a hilarious scramble! Every scenic spot, like the beautiful mangrove river view and even a charming corner of the plaza that reminded me of Baguio, became a photo op. We grabbed cheap iced coffee (mine for 39 pesos, theirs sans caffeine!), then settled by the baywalk to capture the fiery sunset. It was stunning, but just as the sun dipped down, a swarm of flying termites attacked!

Tristan’s Pizza Hauz: A Pizza Experience with a Side of Sunset in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island

Harold had been craving pizza ever since he set foot on Bantayan Island. That’s the only food he constantly mentions as we headed to Santa Fe. (Haha! As if there’s no pizza in Cebu, LOL.😋) Then he suggested that we go for a swim at the beach and then look for a pizza place. I agreed, but then I had a better idea. (Ding! Lightbulb moment 💡, haha 😆)

“Why don’t we do both together?” I asked. “We can have pizza by the beach!”

Exploring the Irresistible Street Food Delights of Bohol

I am not really that adventurous when it comes to eating different kinds of foods because I am always a bit cautious of trying new foods from different places 🙃. But today, I am feeling daring. I’ll just cross my fingers and hope for the best🤞! I’m not afraid to try new foods, even if they’re a bit risky. If I get sick, I’ll just laugh it off and tell a funny story later. HAHAHA! 🤣

Sunrise at Panglao Beach: A Reminder to Enjoy Nature’s Beauty

Have you ever experienced a breathtaking sunrise that left you speechless? That was exactly what I felt during my recent trip to Panglao. Well not exactly a trip but a work-related kinda trip. I was just happy and proud with myself for being able to wake up early (only at that time, lols😅) because I am not a morning kind of person but you know, I just couldn’t leave this place without witnessing the glory of Panglao’s sunrise, that’s why when 5 AM hit the alarm I hurriedly went outside the room and rushed directly to the beach just wearing PJs, haha!😅 I looked at my phone and I was ecstatic and thrilled because it had full bars of battery and I could capture lotsa photos and then my phone malfunctioned and died and literally made me speechless as in literal ahuhuhuh!😭😭😭
