Bohol

I’ve always loved traveling. When I was still a trainee at JobsDB, I remember being envious of our marketing people because they get to go to different places. Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, they’ve been everywhere. Well part of it may have had influenced me to be in the same field.

Last year was my first ever out of town trip that required me to ride a plane. Our company sent me (together with 2 other colleagues) to Cebu for a business trip. Even though we had limited free time to go around the place, I was enthralled by what the city can offer and promised myself that I’ll be back someday for a pure clean fun—no pressure from bosses and all. Yes, you are hearing 3 or more days off from work.

Earlier this year I made an oath of visiting at least one tourist destination within the Philippines every year. I started with Boracay last March not knowing that our company outing will be in Boracay as well. So after 2 months (May) I get to visit the place again. What a bummer, I should’ve visited Palawan instead.

Bohol has always been one of the places I want to visit (including Davao and Palawan which is scheduled next year and the year after it consecutively *crossing fingers*). 2 months from now, I can tick off this site from my list of must-see places because I already booked a flight to Cebu with 3 other friends and are planning to have a whole day tour to Bohol as well.

I don’t like myself when I’m excited. I can’t seem to focus on work and all I could do is google Bohol and make itineraries this early. And since I’m in petiks mode right now the things that made my list are: The Chocolate Hills of course, Hanging bridge, Loboc River cruise (while having a sumptuous buffet lunch), Cute Tarsiers, Must try squash muffin at Bohol Bee Farm, Blood Compact Shrine, Hinagdanan Cave, and Butterfly Sanctuary. If it’s still possible, hopefully we can take a dip at one of the resorts within Panglao.

And oh! I almost forgot, the century old churches. I heard there are lots of it in Bohol. And because its my first time in the place I get to have 3 wishes per church right? Let's say we visit 3 churches, does that mean I have 9 wishes??? wow! That sounds interesting.

Err… So that makes it 2 non-business-out-of-town-trips for this year. Oh well, I still consider myself lucky for that.

I better stop now, this entry makes me even more excited. Gotta go back to work. Ta-ta!

**The originally planned family Bohol getaway didn’t pushed through due to Kuya’s chaotic schedule. Thanks to my ever reliable friends who saved me from a possible 2-month-long grouchiness.
