Philippines 2013

There are times like this when I wish I had more pictures of myself! ha ha sucks being that person with the camera

My grandmother wanted to go back home so I took the opportunity to fly with her. I had already used up my vaca days last April when I went to Mexico, so thank God for stat days and thank you Chef for being so accommodating!

It was such a short vacation but Im glad I got to go back home and meet up with some friends. 

I did a looooot of things for a short 2 weeks. To think of it - My HK trip got cancelled already due to a typhoon.

I could go on all day telling you stories about my short vacation but Im sur it would bore the hell out of you so yeah...

I miss home T_T

XLII: Ketchup

Because I havent been updating much
Im doing a catch up post for today
so expect a very very long one hihi


I told you that I went back to our province, Bicol a few weeks ago right..
So Ima do a post about what we did there ~~~

Da da da da

I: Drive Around

On the way home, my dad suggested we take another route
yep the longer one..

Along the way we saw this pond full of birds ~~ Migrating birds I think
So I asked them to stop the car so I could take pictures hehe




My cousin Caloy posing for the camera XD


II: Insectography

It was a sunny morning and I noticed how many pretty colored insects fluttering around the garden

So I took the camera and started clicking





Fail!

Until I found out about the Macro button







Oh btw Chubby is also with us


he's by the koi pond found at the backyard


III: Time Travel

I went to our cousins house and found this photo


With my two closest cousins, we were so young then haha
(im the one in the middle, I used to be the shortest one LOL but now were all the same height :P)


IV: House Party

Yep we had another party
but this time the theme color was Pink & White
and we had real foods unlike before ~~ LOL

I made Carbonara and prepared some garlic breads
Then my dad cooked chicken fingers and made some pineapple juice

We also had decorations & games and super loud sounds
So it was definitely more FUN








V: Beach

Went to the beach and got deeper tan


low tide




sea urchin






even Chubby went for a swim hehe



VI: Falls

Yes we also went to see some waterfalls
It was my first time going there
It was such a mystical place
like some fairies lives there or something haha

Anyway~~








These flowers are everywhere, I dunno what its called but it kinda looks like sakura right? except that its white hehe


pretty moss covered chairs


the first falls we went to


a spidey resting on one of our bags hehe


found a tree house


another falls


found these cute little fellas on the rocks hehe there are more of them there

now look what I got


some red leaf, two heart shaped fruits (one red one brown/dried), the cute white flower, some green spiky fruit, butterfly wing & another wing from a damselfly (and yes i found these lying around the rocks by the falls)


VII: Cathedral & Peñafrancia

Its nearly fiesta or the feast of Peñafrancia..
Its the time when the whole province celebrates the feast day of their patron saint whom they call "Ina"

My grandmother wants us to see her so we went to the Cathedral
attended a mass but uh we were late
So we just went to Ina

they said if you made a wish
itll come true
~~ do you know what I wished for??
well I just asked for guidance, I was hoping I could finally be allowed to go to a Culinary school
 hehehe


and then had dinner at Chef Doys a filipino restaurant found at Avenue Square

So here the usual food pictures


batang pusit


salmon sa miso


sinigang na hipon


liempo


forgot what its called :P Adobo something~~ LOL


kinunot na pating ~ yess its shark :P

Theyre all Filipino foods so its probably weird looking for you

Anyhoo Im tired of all that Filipino food at home so it was nothing really different ~ sorry
its still good, though normal ~ for me
But if you wanna taste Filipino / Bicol foodies and your at Naga City you might want to try Chef Doys~~


VIII: Departing

So its the first day..
What we did is mostly pack up our clothes hehe
Well I did hang out with some friends
who are btw yearssssss younger than i am
haha ~~ I love kids :D

So there we took some photos and they came up with a group name using our initials
"Mi chi la chi che je ko vi chu ko"
try saying it fast and it sounds so Chinese haha

So heres some group picture





these are the sweetest kids ever...
they wrote me some letters and gave me gifts
Lala gave me a teddy bear, cause she said its what symbolizes me
cause I am cute and huggable LOL hahaha
(so kids think of me like this?) haha


so
thats my 1 week vacation at Bicol ~~
which kinda ended up in a sentimental post wahahaha
