Summer Getaway: Trip to Cebu

I don’t think it’s till summer here in Manila, since it’s already raining. ;-) Luckily, I was still able to enjoy the summer heat two weeks ago. We had a very rare beach trip, where? to CEBU! :D

I felt really excited when my sister already booked us months ago for this trip! Believe it or not, it was me and my little sister’s first plane ride AND beach trip together :D

here’s us meddling inside the plane.

for breakfast, we had:

Misua (I don’t really know how it’s called in english :) ) )

and

Sweet egg

My mom said that these food are very traditional to bring goodluck for the whole year.

I was excited to go to Ongpin! Last time we went there during the new year’s was when I was 8, i guess. I remembered how grand the celebration was. :) And so I brought a camera just to have a shot of everything we did :D

So when we got to Ongpin:

This was the first dragon we saw. It was pretty! haha! gold! But we were still in the car :( , so I haven’t had the chance to take a good photo of this dragon. And so, we went out of the car and started walking! :D
