Natuloy nga ba ang out-of-town??? Shempre OO!!! Biglaan ba naman eh. It was definitely a BLAST - as in BLAST!!! - last weekend. One of the happiest ever! It was my first time to go to Cebu and Bohol as well. At nakasama nga ba si Neil??? Shempre OO!!! Kidnapin ba naman namin eh! Haha! The rest of the gang were Roanne and Mary. Ang saya-saya!! At eto pa-- t'was my first time to ride a plane! (so they say now I have culture) Har har har... I was excited and a bit scared at the same time before boarding Cebu Pacific. I even asked the kinidnap, "Neil! Tabi tayo!" har har har! I definitely loved the flight! Ako pa, eh I love heights :) Bitin nga eh, 55 mins lang. I wish it was longer.

So we arrived there Saturday afternoon and met the overly-excited B'ley (ang demonyita hehe... bagay talagang maging trainer, magaling mag-convince). After a little bit of rest, we headed to Magellan's Cross and visited some of the old churches. Then we went to a bar and danced the night away with the long lost Mio, Mars, and a new found friend and Cebu counterpart, Van (hehe, figure it out). It was super fun but exhausting. Coming from the Friday graveyard shift eh, why not?

About 2 hours after the bar, we rode a boat going to Bohol. Yon naman! Bawal matulog talaga- hindi kasama sa itenerary! Pero madaya kami ni Neil (wehehehe) - we slept for a little over an hour. Anyway, the entire Bohol day trip was the highlight of that fun weekend. Picture-taking here and there. Plus si manong driver ay gamers sa pagiging photographer. Panalo!

In Bohol, we drooled over the clear waters of their beaches wishing we could take a swim - even if I don't know how. Ang gandaaaaa!!! Then picture-taking. Then we went to the Baclayon church and its museum. Moving on... next stop was at the tarsiers by the Loboc river. Oh how cute these little creatures are! Makes you want to baby talk them and they're friendly too :)

Next, we took a boat ride "cruisin" the Loboc river - yeah, that one in Cesar Montano's movie. It's such a beautiful river with clear waters and natural spring and best of all, may falls!!! Woohooo! We did a second "cruise" via the floating resto where we had our lunch with matching manong singer on the side-- who thanked us for helping him out because we upstaged him haha!

Time to hit the road again passing by (and taking pics of course) the man-made rainforest (winner!) and at last, we arrived at the 8th wonder of the world - Chocolate Hills! One of the hills was made into a viewing site and that's where we went. When we finally saw all of it, we went "OH MY GOOOOOD!!!". It's breathtaking! As in, "there IS a God!" :) They go as far as your eyes can see. Manong said there are about 1,600+ of them. Amazing!! The last and final Bohol attaction stop was the 200-ft hanging bridge. Some of us were scared to death but I luuuuuv it!!! At 6pm, we're off to Cebu again.

Monday was departure day. We shopped for pasalubongs and had our last lunch at Bigby's Ayala Center with B'ley. And I was already getting anxious because we're supposed to be checking in already by that time not to mention that I have to buy a guitar for my dad. Argh! I hate this kind of pressure. OC pa naman ako pagdating sa oras. We said our goodbye's especially to B'ley, whom we'll not be seeing for another 2 weeks. Aaaawww. She said she was really sad to see us go. But we'll see her soon :) At talaga nga namang hindi matapos-tapos ang adventure galore. I was not feeling okay in the cab thinking about the time and getting anxious- really anxious. At mag-joke pa ang Neil na, "Myls, sarado na raw yung bilihan ng gitara sa airport". He's just not going to get what he wants. I said, "Pabubuksan ko" in monotone and a blank reaction on my face. Hehe! When we finally got there, we checked in, bought the guitar and heard the final call for the flight. We had to run for it! Haha! Photo finish!

Yay, another flight :) And yes, I'm sitting with Neil as usual. About 30 minutes after take off, we're able to view a spectacular sunset.

"Visions of a sunset... just appears when I close my eyes... takes me closer to heaven... when the flute starts to fly and the violin cries..." by Neil and I, with an exaggerated Mariah Carey gesture on the side. Hahahaha!! Roanne could only say we're crazy. Wahaha!

The flight home was even shorter *sigh*. When we're all on the road going home, I got a text from Neil:

"B'ey / Myles, thanks 4 giving me d chance to experience that VERY FUN wkend. Not sure why u did. Nvrtheless, pls accept my SINCEREST thanks. Vry grateful. C u! :)"

Hehe. I replied telling him that we love him and that he's tanga to even wonder why we kidnapped him haha! It was all worth it. The next day, Tads and I met because I had to help him with something too. And this is another person I really really miss. If only his schedule would permit, we would've kidnapped him as well hehehe.

Haaaay... from this trip and forward, I've been having really good vibes. There's nothing like the feeling when you know that you've helped somebody, especially people you love. I can hardly wait for the next one... and for B'ley to come back... and the next gimmick as well! :)
