Late post: Six months and an island sojourn


I haven't written in a while so I decided it's time to catch up on some of the trips the Cs' have had over the past few months. I'll be starting with a very late post about a certain trip back in December. While we've already traveled to a handful of fantastic destinations around the country, we felt the December trip needed a special vibe to it. Thus, to celebrate Christmas/New Year/6th month(!), we decided to visit the wonderful island of Boracay. Just imagine. Boracay in 6. Wow. Here are some highlights.

Lazy and Cozy Stay

Our Boracay vacation continued our trend of selecting awesome accommodations for our trips. This time, it was the turn of The Lazy Dog Bed & Breakfast to provide us with a solemn, quiet environment, a must for our travels. Let's start with some comfortable pillows and clean sheets...

...a lovely wood-themed outdoor setting for dining and lingering...

Perfect for food coma.
...delightful breakfast food for a warm start to the day...
C approves!
...and a warm, furry, cuddly guardian! 
Now I know where the place got its name.
We definitely had a terrific time in this place and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, peaceful stay in Boracay.

Food Coma Choices

Food coma has been an often-used term during our monthly jaunts and this one was no exception. We tried out several recommended food spots and a couple of can't-miss items on the island.

A serving of fajitas and the predictable calamares at Mañana Mexican Cuisine to start off our island adventures...

No food pics here. Just the requisite selfie. Next!
...a pair of hot calamansi juice at Lemon Cafe to combat the sudden rainfall...

One happy calamansi juice fan.
...paella and tapas accompanied by cheesy guitar strums at Dos Mestizos...
Finally, some photos of food.
...the famous thirst-quenching effect of Jonah's milkshakes...

Sugar, shakes, and the sun.
 ...the perfect combination of lechon kawali, kilawing tanigue, and chorizo fried rice at Tito's...

Plus iced tea, buko juice and good acoustic music!
...and finally, the very powerful Pat Power from Pat's Creek Bar. Knockout!

Instant favorite. Classic.
 The Sand and the Sea

No trip to Boracay would be complete without experiencing its pristine waters and fine sand. And while we did enjoy strolling around the shore and snoozing under a palm tree, we also discovered one fantastic spot opposite the main white beach.

Hot kitesurfer dudes. Somewhere, C is spazzing.
This is known as Bulabog Beach, a haven for kite surfing and just a few meters away from Lazy Dog. While the shoreline doesn't stand up to the main white stretch, the place offers a tranquil environment, perfect for those who want to escape the always crowded stations of Boracay. Just like these two.

Gors. And loving it.
This post wouldn't be complete without the mandatory white beach photos. Here you go.

Lovely shot of the shore and a shy C.
Majestic sunset.

Everyday is a honeymoon with you. <3

Much love. Such affection. Very happy. Wow. <3

A certain weekend back home

Image
Last weekend was a pretty special one as the girlfriend was finally visiting my beloved hometown of Orani. It was definitely a fun and memorable trip though the weather didn't exactly cooperate with some of our plans (like seeing up close the giant cross atop a mountain). Come to think of it, it did eventually, (which meant that the big, bright sun finally showed its big, bright self) but only when we were already waiting for a bus back to the big city. Ugh. Talk about poor timing. But wet and windy weather aside, the 3D2N Bataan/Subic stay was certainly filled with a lot of firsts and as cheesy as it sounds, unforgettable moments. A flashback of these memories is in order and let me summarize it in the form of notes. - The almost 3 hour trip to Orani wasn't the first bus ride the couple took (that honor goes to another 3-hour ride from Hagnaya Port to Cebu City). The distinction of this one though is that she now knows the route I take going to and from home. To take

Royal Rumble Thoughts

Save for NXT Takeovers, I don't think I've ever been as hyped up for a WWE pay-per-view as I was for this year's Royal Rumble. I guess the stipulation that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship being defended on the rumble itself on top of the countless rumors about surprising debuts/returns made the event doubly interesting and highly unpredictable. Exactly what we need given the current state of the WWE and the rash of injuries that has befallen its top stars *huhubells Seth Rollins*. Overall, it was an entertaining Rumble with several potential storylines being set-up for a culminating finale at Wrestlemania 32. Here are some of my thoughts regarding the 2016 WWE Royal Rumble.  *Pardon the large quantity of wrestling lingo and jargon. WHAT'S BEST FOR BUSINESS If you've been religiously following updates regarding the Rumble, then you might have correctly guessed that Roman Reigns and Triple H would be heavily involved in the ending and that's exactl

Take me back to that Sunday*

Prologue It was a rainy Sunday morning when I trooped into the mall for a weekend rendezvous. Good thing I got into the mall just before the rain fell as my only protection from the downpour was my trusted red hoodie and its soft, fluffy fabric. I had recently lost my umbrella to an old lady, who had served her master for 80 years, living just right across our unit. She apparently had more need for it as it would allow her to use her money on food items instead of buying a parasol. Or at least, that's what my imaginative partner for this weekend thought so after I told her someone stole my umbrella. Clever. I arrived earlier than the agreed time and immediately noticed the activity area swarming with people thanks to an Oishi event. I'm not exactly a fan of big crowds so I decided to grab a cup of ice-blended chocolate first elsewhere. That turned out to be a bad idea since immediately after the first sip, I felt my tummy start to grumble. Ugh. I remember one time she to
