More Photos from Boljoon Church link: here. 


We headed to Boljoon Church after swimming with the whale sharks.

I kept on pronouncing this as BOL-JUNE but I learned that it should be pronounced as BOL-HO-ON. 

Boljoon Church is also known as the Our Lady of Patronage of Mama Mary and was built in the 18th century
This is one of the oldest church in the Philippines. 
Ang ganda sa Boljoon!

Seaside sa kabila then mountain range 'yung sa kabila. I heard that there's more to visit in this town in term of heritage tourism but we had to leave to go to Simala.

I looked for an affordable yet decent Pension House in Cebu and found the website of Robe's Pension House. Almost all online reviews I read said that it was okay to stay here so I decided to book our rooms.
For a triple sharing deluxe room (P 900.00/night), we got a basic room for our basic needs.

What basic needs?

Clean comfort room and heated shower
Towels
Decent bed
Cable TV (Not flatscreen but works fine. Hindi rin naman kami nanood)
Free Wi-fi
LOCATION: 41R Landon St., Cebu City Philippines 
(Corner Don Pedro Cui Street)

You should book early especially if you're travelling on a peak season because they currently have no elevators. Okay pa rin mag-reserve ng room sa second floor. :))
From Robe's Pension house, we walked and rode a jeepney to Larsian sa Fuente where we had our dinner.

It's like a compound of barbecue stalls. Dun kami kumain sa pinaka-una, right pagkapasok ng gate.
Ito 'yung rice nila dun, locally known as puso or hanging rice in English kasi nakasabit.
This just made the whole eating fun and interesting.
Even if we stayed here for more than an hour, we didn't smell like smoke as we left because the grills were placed in the center part and the roof of the grilling area sucks the smoke up.
HUHUHUHU. I miss.

BOOK YOUR CEBU ACCOMMODATION: HERE.

The original cross which is encased in this cross was planted by Magellan in 1521 when a lot of Filipinos were baptized to Christianity.

The painting depicts the arrival of Magellan in Cebu and the planting of the original cross.
Up until this day, Magellan Cross remains to be one of the most famous tourists spots in the Queen City of the South.

There are women dresed in yellow who sold us candles. In return, she
 danced the sinulog dance (two steps forward, once step back) waving the candles while offering a song of prayer.
Walking distance from the Magellan's cross is Basilica del Santo Nino. This is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines. It is now re-opened to the public but the damage caused by the 2013 earthquake is still evident.
I LOVE CEBU. <3

Kerch is a (conyo-ish) variation of the gay lingo, "keri" meaning kaya/can. I don't even know if keri is still considered only a gay lingo when I've heard people of all gender and/or sexuality use it in their everyday conversations.

Anyway, Kerch na kerch ka March!! Kayang-kaya!! Ako pa ba?!

February 2015 was a tough month for me but I survived. 

I always try to be grateful for everything that happens but when times get rough, it's hard to continuously show gratitude when you're looking for the reasons why not-so-good things happen, isn't it? It's easy to love a lovable person. It's easy to be thankful for the good times. It's easy to say we're blessed when things go our way. But what if your current situation is the other way around? Let's say that you're only experiencing hardships plus the tiring people you have no choice but to face everyday make the whole thing even harder. Laslas na ba?! Syempre, hindi. Nakakapagod lang talaga. Pahinga. Hanap inspirasyon. Laban ulit. Bakit? Kasi mas masarap pa rin mabuhay. :))

Hayyyyyyyy. I felt tired and uninspired these past few days that even if I was able to laugh for countless of times, at the end of the day, it was unhappiness that kept me company. 
Then we went to Regina Rosarii in Tanay, Rizal to celebrate the first Sunday Mass and to have my much-awaited escape.

"Pag napagod na kayo sa ingay sa baba, akyat lang kayo dito." which made me miss mountain climbing a lot. I know the priest wasn't referring to trekking when he said akyat but akyat to Regina Rica/ Mama Mary on top of the hill but I am somehow having a separation anxiety with the mountains.

 I miss the hardship and the tiredness I experience whenever I climbed mountains. I miss the feeling of relief and accomplishment the moment I set foot on the mountain's summit. I miss the body ache because physical pain is better than emotional pain. A tired body is better than a tired heart and soul. 

"If you're tired and weary, seek the Lord and He will give you rest and will recharge your faith and spirit." 

Buti na lang na sa bawat paglubog ng araw e may sisikat ulit. Huhuhuhuhu. Buti na lang talaga, hindi nauubos 'yung hope. I was reminded that God can continuously supply me with strength if I would just reach out to Him. Mas okay na sa feeling ngayon. Hindi na 'ko binabalik-balikan ni loneliness. Tignan mo nga. Nakaka-blog na ulit ako. :))))
Soon. Aakyat.
Soon. Aalis.
Soon. Soon. 


Let's count our blessings not our problems.


Surprise us, March!!!!!
God bless us. :)

Hindi ko alam. Gusto ko lang magsulat ng magsulat kahit walang saysay para maubos 'yung luha at para mabawasan 'yung sakit. Bakit biglaan naman?

6 years.

May langit din ba para sa mga aso? Kung, oo. Sana, oo. Magpapakabait ako makapunta lang dun.

Nagiging anghel ba sila pag namatay? Kung, oo. Sana, oo. Abangan mo pa rin ako. Bantayan mo pa rin ako. Maging masaya ka pa rin pag dadating ako. Grabe. Ang sakit sakit. Karma ko ba 'to? Sorry. Sorry na buhay mo 'yung naging kapalit. 

Tuwing umaalis ako ng bahay namin, lalabas na 'yan, hindi papasok hangga't hindi ako nakakadating.
Tuwing hindi naman ako nakakauwi ng ilang araw, malungkot din siya, hindi kakain hangga't di ko tatawagan na kumain na.
Tuwing dadating ako, hindi kumpleto pag walang asong galaw ng galaw 'yung buntot na sasalubong sa'kin sa pinto.

Hindi naman 'yan tumatabi sa'kin pag natutulog pero dun sa mga araw na malungkot ako at ayokong makipag-usap sa kahit kanino, tatabi 'yan sa'kin sa kama. Hindi aalis kahit anong gawin ko. Para siguro hindi ko maramdaman na mag-isa ako. Para siguro sa comfort. Sana ganun pa rin kahit physically wala ka na. Pwede ba 'yon? Pwede kaya 'yon? Sana maramdaman ko na meron pa rin akong kuchi na nagbabantay. 

Sabi nila, para sa'tin bahagi lamang sila ng buhay natin pero para sakanila, tayo ang buhay nila. Maraming salamat para sa anim na taon na pinagtyagaan mo kong hintayin. Hindi man ako perfect. Marami man akong pagkukulang. Sana para sa'yo, hindi mo napansin 'yon.

Mas okay na ba 'to? Hindi ka na maghihintay? Sana totoo na lang na may kaluluwa sila para hindi na nga niya ko hintayin para kahit saan, at kahit kailan meron pala kong kuchi na kasama. Para kahit ayoko dahil matigas ulo niya, susunod pa rin siya sa'kin. 

Sana para sakanya naging mabuti akong amo. Sana kung may dog heaven man, kung sakaling tanungin siya ng ibang aso kung pano siya tinrato ng amo niya, sana maging proud siyang sabihin na ako 'yon, na para sakanya hindi niya na gugustuhin na sa iba siya napunta. Grabe. Ang sakit sakit pero mas okay na rin siguro. 

God. Salamat sa anim na taon pero ino-offer ko na Sa'yo 'yung buhay niya, 'yung lahat ng sakit na naramdaman niya bago siya mawala, pati 'yung sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon, lahat lahat po. Sana wala na 'to bukas pagkagising ko... kasi kung malungkot pa rin ako bukas at kung masasaktan pa rin ako, wala na siyang mgagawa para tumabi sa'kin. Ayoko nun.
