Side trip at Cebu

Image
This is our last day in Cebu. Since we got the latest flight going back to Manila, we have decided to  have a side trip in the queen city. We rented a taxi for 1,200 pesos and we went to Taoist Temple and TOPS. Here's the snapshots. Taoist Temple is  located in Beverly Hills Subdivision. This is open to the worshipers and non-worshipers alike There are said to be 81 steps representing the 81  chapters of the Taoism scriptures. When you reach the top, you can light joss sticks and have your fortune read! However, picture taking is not allowed inside the temple but you have the liberty to roam around outside to take a photo souvenir. At the entrance of the temple, you will see the replica of the Great Wall of China and on the balconies, you will see the scenic view of the downtown Cebu. taking turns on photo ops since we didn't bring our tripod.. hehehe!  Since this is a temple,  you need to observe silence and the s

Meet and Greet with the Queen

Queen City of the South - Cebu! I just loved this trip.. actually,  I love all of my trips! lols This is so memorable for me, coz we were able to survive Cebu without any planned itinerary! We arrived the city with no hotels to stay in for 3 days and 2 nights, I dont have list of where to go to and places to visit. I'm confident that google would be able to help me out during those days and indeed they didnt fail me!  Thanks God, I was able to book a super cheap fare through Airphil express. You wouldn't believe it, but you gotta.. My RT fare cost me 214php only! I also got the best schedule. From Manila 7:45am-9:am Cebu, then Cebu 6:45pm - 8:00Pm to Manila. We were able to maximize our time since we got the earliest and latest flight back and forth. Upon arrival at Mactan Airport, we asked the airport personnel regarding were to look for white taxi and hotels. They gave us leaflets regarding the hotels in Cebu. We were supposed to check in at  Cebu Century Hotel and

Hooray for 2012!!  It's my first post this year and in 20mins now we'll be celebrating the Chinese New Year..  I wasn't able to post much last year as I was so pre-occupied with my job and my trips. I just have thoughts on my mind regarding the Chinese New Year.. Do they have like a New Year's resolution too? Am I going to be lucky this year considering Im a PIG (referring on zodiac)? What's in store for me this year? Honestly, I don't really believe in luck because it's us who create and decide our future.. If you dont pursue what you wanted, and just rely on luck and charms, nothing will happen... much for this... I just hope that the moon and stars will conspire and bring the best out of me this year.. Of course, I will do my best as well to make this year count! Adja!  BTW, should you want to know your fortune, check this link http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/2012/2012Pig.htm xx,
