It was our third and last day at Bohol. I woke up at 5am in order to see the numerous stars at sky. I was never disappointed and was truly amazed of the vast sky covered with stars. I savor every moment of it since I will never see it in Manila.

While waiting for the sunrise, we, again, strolled along Alona Beach and enjoyed the fresh morning breeze.

Kuya Ren, on the other hand, took and early deep at the beach and was able to catch several sea creatures near the shoreline. He was able to catch a starfish, a sea urchin and a small octopus while I was able to see a sea snail. It proved how shallow and clear the water at the beach was.

Happiness ang nakahuli. :)

After enjoying the beauty of the beach in the morning, we had our delicious breakfast. I had Pancake breakfast and I must say that I was very satisfied with my breakfast. It tasted good.

My heavy breakfast. Yummy! :)

Before we left Lost Horizon Beach Resort, I took some photos of its amenities. Let me commend their great service, clean and spacious rooms, delicious foods, relaxing swimming pool and Jacuzzi and very friendly staff  at an affordable prize. The resort definitely add up to the reasons why my Bohol trip was fun and memorable. I definitely recommend the place to travelers and tourists that would visit the beach. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Bohol.

 We had our prayer for our safe trip back to Manila before heading to the airport. I also took my final photos with the beach since I would definitely miss it. I walked barefooted along the sands to savor the place since I would wait for almost two years to see it again.

My super duper love ko na family :)

We checked in at Tagbilaran Airport 1 hour before our scheduled flight. After checking in, we waited at the boarding area. It has 2 floors but most of the people stayed on the ground floor making the area congested. In order to kill the guests boredom, some blind singers and musicians entertained the place. Souvenir shops were also present for last minute shopping however, the items were pricier than the souvenir shops we went the other day.

We finally boarded the Airphil Express bound to Manila at around 11am, waited for almost 20 minutes before the plane took off. Our flight was almost full of passengers. Since I was seating at the window area, I was able to see again the aerial view of the country. The most fun part was to see my next destination, Boracay. Yehey! :) I promise myself that we should visit the island very soon.

 And I'm leaving on a jetplane. Don't know when I'll be back again... :(

You are my next project... Wait for me BORACAY!!! :)

After more than an hour, buildings and several houses became evident in my sight. Finally, we were back in Manila. Hello pollution and hello stress. Haha! We finally touched down at NAIA Terminal 3, left the plane and boarded the shuttle provided by Airphil Express that would bring us to the arrival area.

 Hello Manila!!!

Nevertheless, my trip to Bohol was a great way to relax, have fun and enjoy the beauty of the Philippines. Bohol was definitely a great vacation destination. Till we meet again Bohol...

Bohol Adventure: My first airplane ride

Finally, after almost a month, I was able to make a blog on my first Bohol adventure. I got busy with graduation thus, I wasn't able to update my blog.

This trip to Bohol was definitely a memorable one. Aside from the fact that it was my first time to visit a province down South, it was also my first airplane ride. I went with my family and some family friends. Thanks to my cousins, Ate Min and Kuya Gio for initiating this trip and sponsoring our plane tickets and accommodations.

It was Feb. 27 and our flight to Tagbilaran was scheduled at 9:40am. Dahil excited kami, 7:30am pa lang nasa NAIA Terminal 3 na kami. Airphil Express was our carrier.

After checking-in, syempre picture muna. Btw, hindi pa kami kumpleto nyan.

Pictorial muna with papa at NAIA Terminal 3.

Second floor where stores and foods can be found.

Yehey! My first airplane ticket. :)

NAIA Terminal 3's ambiance was impressive. It's spacious and relatively new. I haven't been inside the international airport and terminal 2 but according to some researches I made, pinaka-ok daw ang Terminal 3.

Marami ding selections of foods sa second floor that's why you'll not get worried kung magutom ka man. May Ministop din inside para makabili ng ibang stuffs na baka nakalimutan ilagay sa baggage.

I was very excited to see airplanes up-close and was curious kung san kami dadaan para makapasok sa airplane. Super innocent lang ako. Haha! :)  Since maaga kami, I was able to take some photos and we were also able to eat. If there were things I did not liked about Terminal 3, it were the overpriced foods and the non-functional walkalator.

Savoring my experience. Picture muna while waiting for the plane. :)

Super concentrate ang mag-jowa sa paghintay ng plane. Hehe! :)

After more than an hour of waiting, we finally boarded the plane. I was so excited. I picked a window seat so that I could see the clouds and have an aerial view of the country. I savor every moment of it since it was my first.

Halatang first timer karamihan sa amin kasi sobrang ingay namin sa plane. We were 11 in the group at parang kami lang ang sakay ng airplane sa sobrang kulitan namin. When the plane took off, I got so delighted. Actually, lahat kami sobrang saya.

As we got higher, lalo akong natuwa kasi parang pwede na ako makipag-apir sa clouds. Dati tinatanaw ko lang sila, ngayon magka-level na kami. Hehe! I also discovered na ang ganda pala ng Pilipinas. Ang daming islands at ang tubig, sobrang ganda. May green, blue green at blue.

Sa Maynila lang ang puro bahay at crowded. Hehe! Seeing the aerial view of the country inspired me to work hard to earn money so that I can visit the wonders of the Philippines. 

After more than an hour flight, the pilot announced na medyo ma-dedelay kami ng 10-15 minutes because of the traffic sa Tagbilaran airport. To kill our boredom, which I wasn't, he took us on a tour around Bohol. I saw the aerial view of Chocolate Hills. At dahil dun, lalo akong na-excite puntahan yung place.

We also saw the famous Panglao Island. Sa taas pa lang, ang ganda na ng Bohol. Ang ganda ng tubig. Ang ganda ng forest. What more pa kaya pagbaba...

After touring the entire island, we finally landed sa Tagbilaran airport. Maliit siya ng di hamak sa airport ng Manila pero ok lang. It's a domestic airport naman eh. After getting our baggage, we immediately looked for our hotel transfer at nakita naman namin siya agad. 

Finally, nakasakay din ako ng airplane. Para lang pala siyang bus. Mas sosyal lang. Hehe! 

Infairness to Airphil Express, the airplane was spacious and clean. The temperature was just right. The flight attendants were nice. According to Ate Min who was able to ride Cebu Pacific before, mas gusto na daw nya ngayon ang Airphil dahil well-maintained ang airplane. At dahil jan, Airphil will be my carrier for my next trip. Kelan kaya un??? hehe!

Ang mga makukulit sa airplane. :) Hindi halatang happy sila. :)

Hello clouds! :)

Preparing for touch down. Hello Bohol! :)

Welcome to Tagbilaran Airport! :)
