Quick Update

-
To All friends who follow on my blog:

Thank you so much for making the effort to visit, and while I am away for the meantime, I want to let you know that I enjoyed my Bora getaway.

Last Friday, 17, we went to Cebu for a one night stopover in order to wait for another flight to Caticlan, and while we were there, the kids, hubby and I had no time to waste. We visited The Basilica del St. Niño, the Magellan's Cross, Fort San Pedro, and The Lapu-lapu Shrine.

The trip to Bora was the best, although what I got aside from the beautiful experience, is the sunburnt back, it was the best.

This day, until Friday, we are scheduled to visit relatives here in Iloilo City and what best to visit in Iloilo than the beautiful olden churches!

Come Saturday, hubby and I are scheduled to visit Bacolod for a night visit, and back to Iloilo again to continue touring the city.

I will be visiting your blogs, promise! I haven't edited our pics yet, so please wait awhile. I know some of you are excited on it as I am to post it. But I am truly enjoying here that I cannot find the good time to post pics yet, kinda' busy strolling Ilonggo roots. I have finally visited all of your blogs, and commented away on each entry, and I will be visiting as often as I can.

Thank you all for waiting. I hope you enjoy yourselves. And god bless you all.

I'm glad you had time to get around a little of Cebu. I remember I was so excited to get to Lapu Lapu Shrine. But incidentally shocked to see that Lapu Lapu wears something like a diaper. Lol. =)

I miss Iloilo's butterscotch and La Paz Bachoy. Did you get to have a bite of the authentic inasal while in Bacolod? I gained much weight in my 2 weeks stay there. Best food and people.

I'm excited to see your photos, especially those taken in Bora. Take your time and have quality time with your family. =) Btw, thanks for the bookmarks and card. Really made my day.

coolness! you're in ILOILO!!!

i'm Ilonnga, pureblood. heek. and I recommend:

1) wolfing native chicken in Tatoy's

2) getting gluttonous with both Ted's and Deco's batchoy (then try to compare)

3) get a complete kikay everything -- mani, pedi, hot oil, spa, all of them because they all cost ridiculously cheap in iloilo

4) visit the growing Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Jaro

5) buy Guimaras mangoes, nylon shells, sugpo, crabs and lobsters from Roxas

6) stuff your intestines with oysters -- enough to last you five centuries

7) say a little prayer in Miag ao Church

8) cross the strait, frolick in Guimaras beaches and hike in Guimaras mountains

9) visit Museo Iloilo and watch one season of Dinagyang. hehe

10) JUST HAVE FUN! Ilonggos are very friendly. So don't worry about anything, it's a very sunshiny city.

If you enjoyed Boracay, it means it already recovered from Frank's devastation. I hope its the same in Kalibo.

I'm glad you have a swell vacation. Pakita naman ng pictures.

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e...

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion . ( via ) I have heard about this new landmark that Surallah boasts o...

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s...
