This is my first travel blog. Hope I would do justice to this very beautiful place. A day after our official field work was finished, my officemate (Mami Sielle) and I prepared ourselves for a short trip around Bohol. Our itinerary: 1. The Blood Compact 2. Baclayon Church 3. Man-made Forest 4. Chocolate Hills 5. Simply Butterflies 6. Loboc Tarsier 7. Loboc River Cruise 8. Biggest Python We rented a car (w/driver) for P1,800 to tour us around the place. Our first stop was the site of Datu Sikatuna's and Miguel Lopez de Legazpi's Sandugo (Blood Compact). Quick Fact: The Sandugo is performed by making a small cut in the arm or breast of each party. Two or three drops of blood from their arms are mixed in a cup with water or wine. The drink is then divided equally between two cups and drank by each party. Destination information: Classification: Historical Site Cost: none Activities: Picture-taking After a short picture-taking session, we continued our journ

My Final Fantasy II

"Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw, walang iba kundi Ikaw. Salamat sa liwanag Mo, muling magkakakulay ang Pasko. Dahil Ikaw Bro, ang star ng Pasko!" Galing! Very powerful lyrics. Tuwing Christmas, madalas pinag-uusapan ang Christmas Tree, exchange gift, mahabang bakasyon, at si Santa Claus. Yung tunay na bida ng Pasko, madalas nakakalimutan na. Naaalala ko nung elementary pa ko, may isang article sa school paper namin tungkol sa kantang "Santa Claus is coming to town".

Santa Claus is coming to town", e samantalang birth ni Jesus ang ipinagdiriwang natin? Anyway, sana ngayong Pasko huwag naman natin syang kalimutan. Blogged with the Flock Browser
