Sunset at Tab-ang Leyte en route to Canigao Island

I was checking out old pictures in an effort to clean my computers memory since I notice it’s starting to run very slow considering it’s a Core DUO. I remember taking this picture around 2 years ago, it was a family trip to my lolo’s home town tab-ang Leyte. Just opposite of the place is Canigao island; a small island which is also a marine sanctuary.

Canigao Island is actually a perfect place to relax and unwind since the water is clean and very cold. It’s actually a very nice Summer Destination! It’s only a fast craft and a multicab away from cebu.

Tingko Beach Alcoy

Tingko Beach in Acoy was not bad at all for a late “Day at the beach”.

We decided to a day trip to there so that we could relax.

It has been a while since me and my friends had a beach day, two years to be exact.

But the 2 and a half hour ride from the city is quite exhausting, thank god tart and I grabbed a light drink at VIP the night before. So basically we just slept through the entire bus trip.

HOW TO GET THERE:

All you have to do is ride a bus (South Bus terminal) or V-hire to Alcoy. The Bus fare for non-aircon is only Php 90 while for the aircon is around Php 120, I am not sure about the v-hire though.

But one thing I would recommend, the Bus is more comfortable because of the leg room.

The travel time would actually depend on the mode of transportation, since one of the common reasons why our travel time reached almost 2 hours in a half  was because our bus stops all the time to pick up passenger. If it’s going to be a private vehicle the travel time would only be around 1 hour to 1 hour and a half.

Since Tingko Beach is considered a public beach, do not expect it to be like a resort.

You can rent a cottage there for as low as Php200.  Not a bad deal actually and we rented a volleyball for only Php30 unlimited use.

Tingko Beach Alcoy Cebu

Alcoy’s sands and sea is exactly what they said it would be, the water is great and the sand is very fine.

We were able to play beach volley and dive in the sand without any scratches and bruises. Unlike other beaches were their sand contains coral stones; in Alcoy their sands has minimum to no coral stones at all.

Beach Volley + Fine Sand + Good Friends + Alcohol = FUN FUN FUN

Jump Shots!

I have visited a lot of beaches of course but aside from looking forward to the destination, it’s also nice to know that you are with your closes friends and love ones.

The Jeep and its Glass Shift stick!

It has been almost a week since I last updated my blog. I have been pretty busy with Life, Love and Work lately (No Pun intended!).

Last weekend the gang decided to take a day trip to Alcoy for some SUN SAND and SEA.

The beach was awesome! Watch out for my post with pictures!

As rode a jeep towards the South Bus Terminal and I couldn’t help but notice that the jeeps Gear or shift stick.

It’s actually made of Glass or a material similar to glass and it has glitters inside!

Now that is a jeep with a sense of Style!

Good Job Manong Driver!

Till next time!

Boracay Escape

After our Iloilo escapades, we were a few hours away from our main destination which is BORACAY.

We stayed at station 1 Crown regency prince for 3 days and 4 nights, and wasted no time. Then moment we arrived in the hotel, we immediately hit the beach and basked in the sun.

Enjoyed eating at d’talipapa, you have never been to boracay if you have never eaten their.

Went clubbing at CLUB PARAW where we danced non-stop and I fell in love with their raspberry mojito.
The next day, woke up with a headache but was thankful that starbucks already invaded the island of BORACAY.  The best cure for a vodka hangover is a cup of your favorite starbucks drink and Tylenol.

We definitely enjoyed our summer get away.

Can’t wait for our next destination!

Till next time!

ILOILO'S BATCHOY

Iloilo’s batchoy is said to be the best since basically it originated there.

So when tart and I planned to have a vacation, we decided to take the scenic route to Boracay that is via ILOILO.  When tart ask me if I wanted to try something in  ILOILO the first thing that came into my mind was BATCHOY!

He took me to Ted’s old time La Paz Batchoy, and we ordered the super special batchoy.

It was definitely a feast for my taste buds; it was both yummy at the same time very tasty.

And they are very generous in their ingredients, since I feel that they placed more meat than noodles.

 If ever you found yourself in ILOILO, you should definitely try their Batchoy!
