The Cebu Stumble

My sibs and I, together with the love of their lives went to Cebu last Friday. It was my first time to step on its land and I was very impressed. It was like Manila to me minus the pollution.

I left my heart in Cebu!

On our first night, we went to the hotel to leave our belongings first and then went to eat dinner at Resto 27, Crossroads after. We learned that this place is Cebu's high street. In Manila, it's Serendra or Eastwood at the very least.

Poor kids living the good life...




We didn't want to sleep the night off and so we were thinking of something to do after we ate. We wanted to party and dance but we couldn't because we were with Jem. But it's okay. Jem's really a cool kid. We get along pretty well except when it comes to her hair. It seems as if she's not really fond of fixing herself yet. Haha! Anyway, it was very obvious that we were so tired already and so we just decided to go home.

We wanted to wake up at 6 a.m. to fix ourselves before going to the beach but we delayed it to 7:30. Haha, it's funny because we all heard the alarm but just didn't mind it. We met really good people, Mr. and Mrs. Irizari. They accompanied us to Tambuli Resorts and Cebu Beach Club.



Loving the feel of the salty breeze and water against my bod...


Basking in the sun...


And because we are hippy hoppy jumpees...


I love the resort. I was just a bit disappointed in the beach because it was full of algae. Haaay. Sayang.

We headed back to the hotel at around 7 p.m. and rested. Ate Jus tried her best to get a tan but her white white skin failed her just like what my tushee did to me the day after. Haha.

Sunday morning, we got ready to hear mass. We went to Cebu's Basilica del Sto. Nino. I was astonished with the interior of the cathedral. It's awesome. I love its paintings. We also dropped by its wishing fountain.

I so love this painting...




The place is like Quiapo. :)

We had lunch at Jollibee. Yes, very Pinoy! Loving the ambience eh. Actually, we were really aiming for KFC but we didn't find it after ten minutes of walking (or was it just five but it felt like ten?). What I loved the most about that morning was of course, shopping!!! It's my bestfriend, my ultimate stress reliever. Haha. I love Cebu's Pasalubong Center, I even told Mom that we should go back just for it. Hahaha! I looooooove it. I reallly do. Hahaha! I wish I had more money!!! I love their accessories, shirts, yum-yums. I love everything about it.


See? We got our pasalubongs ready! But, we didn't feel like going home yet. Haha.



In my short stay in Cebu, I learned quite a lot about it. Yes a looot. Haha. I learned three Cebuano words. Pangadaygon for purihin, Daghang salamat for maraming salamat and kayoy-i for maawa. They also don't have a "yu" sound. Say the word's Dios, they say, Diyus. And! It seemed like it's a fave spot of hybrid couples to do their smoochie-moochies. Haha. American+Pinay=Love. We look exotic daw, but grabe. Haha. These Americans really appreciate a different kind of Pinay beauty. As in you'll see a couple in every direction. Hahaha! You'll never run out of these in Cebu.
