What About Bohol?

Aside from the initial drama/adventure, these are the things that made the Bohol trip super fun and memorable.

1. The peace and quiet one can get from the beach. Not magulo like Bora. My 1 hour worth of cat nap felt like deep slumber for 5 good hours!

2. Bohol Beach Club. Super laki ng resort. Picture taking to death.

3. We had the best tour guide everrrr, Majesty Jala. She was not able to meet us up at the airport kse di nagising on time! Nagpakita na sha sa amin 8pm na!!

4. The yummy dinner we had at Bohol Bee Farm! I miss the cabcab already!

5. Accidental catching up with DJ at the airport! (tagal ng di nagpapakita ng lola. nag FA lang nawala nalang bigla)

6. Steady inuman. Buying our drinks from the sari sari store! (Nasa akin pa ang deposito slip!)

7. Baclayon church. The name still makes me smile. And of course, this conversation with Maj:

Trina: so why is this church special nga ulit?

Maj: kse oldest church ito in the Philippines.

Trina: how old is this church na ba?

Maj: as in tinayo sha before pa dumating dito ang mga Spaniards.

Trina: (confused and ready to burst into laughter if not for the fact that they were still inside the church)

8. Poma’s obsession with his DSLR. That means I don’t have to take much pics and I get to be in most of the pics taken!

9. I did my very best to be friendly with the Tarsiers. (di ko talaga kaya)

10. The man-made forest!

11. Partycrashing in Tagbilaran City. (party hosted by Maj’s friend, Pam)

12. And of course, the best part of the trip…….CHOCOLATE HILLS!!!

Much thanks to Poma and Maj. Cheers to CH!

I had a blast!

Amazing Race to Bohol

Trina from gimik, Poma from slumber..both on their way to NAIA Terminal 3! We got there at the same time. Amazing Race begins!

We realized it’s still a bit early to check in so we decided to hang out outside the airport to chat and smoke. Flight’s scheduled at 5:30am and it was just 4:00am. When we finally went inside the airport, the guard asked for our e-ticket. Mam, ang byaheng Tagbilaran po hindi dito. Sa NAIA Terminal 2 po ‘yan. Poma tried to verify with the ticketing section (for purposes of this kwento, let’s just call it that). NAIA Terminal 2 nga.

wrong pit stop!

Run. Run. Run. We need a cab! AArgghh..Amazing Race!!

We got to NAIA 2 around 4:40am. At the check-in counter, they asked for the credit card used to purchase the tickets or a photocopy of the same. I used my Tito’s credit card. I don’t have a photocopy. I’ve been flying and was never asked to present the card or photocopy of the card. And it’s way too early in the morning to ask my Tito to fax a copy of the card! I went to PAL office trying to reason out. (Although deep in my heart, I knew I can’t talaga argue! That policy is written on the e-ticket, tange!). And so, the plane left us. I couldn’t get a copy of the card. The next flight (8:00am) can accommodate us but we need to pay the fare difference. That was not okay with me and so I made THE calls (at 6:30am!!!). Much love to the people I called. Super. As in.

and so i took the last (and best) option remaining

Off to Bohol.

And I was still in my gimik clothes complete with accessories sheth!

Landed. Was calling up Maj (who was supposed to meet us up at the airport) but she didn't pick up! Poma and I decided to take a cab going to Bohol Beach Club.

Despite all the drama, we were both giddy still. We managed to laugh at what took place. Haha!

But really, kung Amazing Race talaga, wala na kaming aabutan sa Pit Stop!

And so we decided, we can (and will) never join!
