Wow! My last entry was three months ago! But technically, since it's the 1st of July now, so that would be four months ago.. (who knew a day difference would make it sound even worst ^_^). I lost my net connection again, and I just had to enjoy summer!! I had drafts lined up, though.. so you might be surprised to see 5 new old entries soon.. hehehe.
Ohhkaay.. Since I was out too long, I still have to see where I have to begin. And while I'm sorting things out, I'd like to share what had happened in the past three (or four) months in my life, and all over the Philippines.
Last April, I traveled to Cagayan de Oro City with my boyfriend, along with his family - parents, younger sister, younger brother, younger brother's girlfriend, their cousin, and their uncle - who drove us
all the way from Davao City to CDO City. It was a 7-hour drive, approximately, and we were elbow-to-elbow, shoulder-to-shoulder, cheek-to-cheek. Nah.. not cheek-to-cheek. ^_^ hehe We had to stick to a certain position for hours, and eventually try to get a chance to stretch out our muscles a tiny, little bit if the ride gets bumpy - and the ride never did get bumpy. But we swayed to the car's motion.. as the car zig-zagged smoothly in the long stretch of curved roads. It was fun. The drive was long, the music was soft, and the ride was smooth.
His uncle's family was very generous to let us stay at their house for a while.. even more generous to serve late night snacks.. and breakfast the following day.. and not-to-mention they prepared nice, clean, warm rooms for us. We went to Camiguin Island the day after - the highlight of the trip. We drove for about an hour to get to the dock, and rode a ferry to get to the Island. The sea was a little wild... we're glad we made it safely to the island, located approximately 90 km above CDO. We were lucky Typhoon Frank (or Typhoon FengShen) was a month late. Although at that time, judging by the strong winds and high tide, he was probably undergoing an extensive training, as religiously as Pacquiao was doing, mustering up all the strength so he could capsize the MV Princess of the Stars off the coast of San Fernando, Romblon on June 22, 2008. =( It was a sad day for everyone.. Pacquiao won though.. and a lot celebrated.. So did anybody here win a bet? :) I heard a lot of Filipinos were at Vegas to witness the event.. Hehe Oh-kay.. I'm drifting farrr away from my topic again.. Told ya, I have to sort things out... XD I still have my summer hangovers.. :)
Here are a few photos from my trip...

Behind us is the famous Sunken Cemetery
The stairway leads to the Old Volcano that caused a lot of damage (including the sinking of the island's cemetery) when it erupted years ago.
