it's so fun gyud!

island life

as RT used to say: it's holy testicle tuesday!

Bohol, PH -- september was a great month for all things bisaya:

1) mag:net high street featured bisrockers faspitch and urbandub. faspitch: a pogi band that knows how to rock out. paging those screaming groupies!
and urbandub was a welcome visitor to manila. haven't seen them since the nu rock awards a few years back. first of summer and a new tattoo just made my dark, twisted night.

2) the self-declared long holiday on the island of bohol was a blast. was rushing stuff at work like crazy so i could hop on the next plane to tagbilaran. thanks to my gracious & lovely host dutchie, i had no room for pseudobackpacking at all (except for my backpack). first class all the way gyud.

alona beach

trip highlights:

• the beach! morning, noon and night.
  
• chocolate hills (and only because we got rained on when we reached the top)
• tarsiers by the road (the critters were literally perched on trees several feet from the roadside. i thought they'd be in the forest or at a zoo)
  
• poker conducted almost entirely in bisaya (i lost due to the language barrier. and my full house just didn't cut it)
• dolphin-watching near panglao island (nothing like seeing them in the big blue ocean)
• snorkeling at baricasag island's fish sanctuary (our guide: "may nemo doon sa baba! may nemo!")
• having the eskaya beach resort all to ourselves (sobrang sosi nakakaiyak. freebies make things 2x as fun.)
• food, glorious food. try to have a lazy lunch at bohol bee farm.

thanks for the care package, lim!
