Bucketlist 101: A Summary of Love and Adventure

October 28, 2011

Ostrich Couple. He just got home from Manila. After taking a nap, we went to see the Ostriches located at the upper campus.  We’ve seen them way back in 2011 but we didn’t have a camera back then. It seemed like their  feathers didn’t grow so much even after a year has passed.

 hello again,ostrich!

 babath time.

 wait!

VSU Garden.  This area used to be a plain, green  grassy place where students can just lay on their backs. Now they added some benches and let vines grow on the steel-curvy-thing. It makes the area good for wedding ceremonies/reception, romantic date, or just simply to hang out with your friends (if it doesn’t rain). <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>'/>'/>

Beachy Beach.  Not just a student’s  haven but for visitors alike.  This beach can boast a good view during sunset.  Though it doesn’t have a powdery white sand, you can still try the waters.  We used to swim here when we were in highschool.  You can try it too! Just be warned that there are sea urchins. <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>

never mind the sun's heat

perfect fit!

welcome home!

Jamoke’s Coffee Shop. One moment…one nesCOFFEE. :D Had a sip of coffee while we waited for my friends to arrive. The coffee shop was small and can only accommodate a few people. But even so, we’re both thankful to have a good seat while waiting.

 small but neat

had a small table

Tinko Beach, Alcoy.  A public beach down south, Tinko Beach is known for having a long stretch of powdery sand.  It feels great to hang out with friends  and with our better halves. Lucky enough to see the moonrise and when morning came in, the sun showed us its light. It reminded us of how beautiful our world is, most specially if you have someone to share it with.

 what a beautiful day

goodmorning sunshine!

Cebu Zoo. Never heard of Cebu Zoo before not until the motorcycle driver suggested to take us there. We were so fascinated to see the different kinds of animals. They’re not a lot but still  it was enough to make us appreciate them even more.  Felt like a child again.<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>

Taoist Temple. Also considered to be one of the most photographed places in Cebu, Taoist Temple gave us a very Chinese-like ambience. A place where Taoists worship and say their prayers. You can’t take photos inside the temple but you can feast your eyes on the fascinating view outside. It’s a breath of fresh air since it is overlooking the city. Lucky we were able to take photos before we ran out of battery.

looked like a bagwa minus the mirror

KCF Krushers. Our all-time favorite. I had Cookies n’ cream and he opted for the Mango Mania. Mine tasted better hihihihi.<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>'/>'/> We still think that Pandan is the best (too bad they don’t have it now).:-D

 only at KFC :)

Maxrider. We’ve been eyeing to try the 4D in SM.  At last, we tried it out and decided to watch Speedcoaster. Haha. It felt like we were really on a roller coaster.  It was fun although it only lasted for about 10 minutes. We actually came back and tried the Anaconda. We’ll try the horror films next time. <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>

 at SM 4th floor

while waiting for our turn

Full Body Massage. Sooooo relaxing. We were both directed to a massage room. The attendants left us without any instructions  and  we were just so clueless on what to do. Haha.  Anyway, they gave us a very relaxing massage for an hour. We felt so light and we didn’t want it to end. Pwede extend? <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>Two thumbs up for the masseuse. <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>'/>'/>

 our hair looked weird right after the massage

Facial Treatment. Bongacious! I know he really didn’t want to do it at that time and I just dragged him to try it out with me. Hihihi. I remembered he didn’t want me to take photos of him while being pampered, too. But all’s well that ends well. We felt like our faces were so clean that we decided to  take a cab on our way home. Dust free. Smoke free. <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>'/>'/>

Wedding Bells. A big day for a friend who just got married. After the gathering, our group decided to stay at Adam’s place. Went home at around 2am and slept at his crib. Special thanks to his mom who prepared breakfast for us (puto, mangga and the traditional choco drink).


 goodmorning.

love to take photos while he's asleep

A Heart of Jade. Got an early Christmas present from him. It’s just so lovely and I couldn’t thank him enough. He said he bought this when he was at Antigua. They said when a man gives you a jewelry that means you are very special. And I think it shows. Much love and thanks, bhie.

thank you for giving me your heart.

Fun Fact: Jade is the celestial stone of the Maya. A symbol of life and eternal love.

Christmas Eve. We bought some Christmas presents and visited his relatives in Bunga. Meet and greet.

Merry Christmas. Ho ho ho. Happy season. We had lunch at his home in Visca and had dinner at my place. We also exchanged our gifts. It’s so much fun to celebrate it with our families together. A great way to celebrate the season.  Thanks, Santa.

Cornetto lovers. The weather has been more cooperative than on New Year. It was still cloudy but a lot better than having heavy rains. Went to Prince Mall( not sure why they call it mall though it doesn’t look like one ) and bumped into Alvin and Aubrey. Afterwards we went to Ajja and had cornetto. You and me sitting on the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.:-D

 pardon my hair. ice cream on a cold day

which one is mine?



January 14 -15, 2012


Pit Senyor. Sinulog fever here in Cebu. We went to SM on Jan 14th and watched the much awaited Pyroworks competition. We were “wowed” by the different colors. One thing we both can’t forget was that we had to walk from SM to Ayala because all the jeepneys were loaded. And yes, ALL JEEPNEYS! Come the next day was the Sinulog mardi gras. Since our apartment was just near the sports complex, we decided to hang out with my sister and wait for some celebrity to pass by. 

borrowed these hats. scorching hot outside

Viva Pit Senyor!

Fish Spa. Went to SM and came across the Tibiao Fish Spa. We tried to dip our fingers first but thought that it would be more fun to try soaking our feet. It was sooooooo tickling that we couldn’t help but laugh all the time. It was a good way to relieve any stress.<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>'/>'/>

Japanese Dish. It is always good to try something different . We had our dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Rai Rai Ken has a very relaxing atmosphere. We ordered Yakisoba and Beef ramen. Parang si Naruto lang. <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt='<img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>'/>'/>
