Day 5 - 8: My first trip to Philippines - Cebu

Day 5 - Visit to Papa Kits! 

At first I  thought it's "PAPA'S KIDS". Its later then I realise its Papa Kits and its just the name of the owner =P If you fancy some horse ridding, zipline, jungle activities, ATV, wall climbing... Here will be a nice place for you to spend your day here.

Address:
Papa Kit's Marina & Fishing Lagoon
Liloan, Cebu, Philippines












Day 6 - Whale Shark Watching and Aguinid falls

I have the best day of my life on day 6! I am not really an super adventurous person nor I am a very sporty person.  Im always somewhat in between the line.

So its definitely a BIG challenge for me to go for the Whale Shark Watching at Oslob! Firstly, I CAN'T SWIM! Secondly, I don't even know how to use a snorkel properly... so don't even talk about snorkelling. Thirdly, I'm pretty scared of going into water. Lastly, it's a BIG sea that I am talking about (its not in a swimming pool. Lol!). Nonetheless, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to get close to the whale. Its a once in a lifetime experience!


The BIG WHALE! Its a pity that I didn't buy a GoPro to film it down!

I struggled like hell when I get into the water. Whenever I think back I really want to LOL at myself. I am too nervous that I can't even FLOAT properly in the water! I struggled to float and I can only stuck in the small corner to view the whale shark. There's one time the expert there was talking in tagalog and pulled me closer to the whale... I panicked and told who is pulling me because I don't even know he was talking to me. Hahaha! Thankfully, my dependable bf was there with me all the time to help me to calm down and guide me on how to not died in the sea. Lol!

Next stop... Aguinid falls! It was a big surprise for me again! I thought Im in for some nice scenary view but in the end... I will need to climb the waterfall!!! OMG! Im such a "mountain tortoise" (not well informed). No one tell me about this... and I definitely don't get this in Singapore.

Me... Still thinking that we are going to take nice pictures with the waterfall.





The climbing process was really a tough task for me T_T It looks so easy to everyone except me. I really felt like the most needy as girl as compare to the rest. Luckily, the guys (those who work there to guide us up to the top level) there were really nice and helpful. They even help us to take photos along the way.

I really can't believe Im doing this waterfall climbing. Haha! 



This is not the top level yet... When I looked back, I wonder how I climb up here. 

Go Kristin go! 

YAY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 


YES! Totally no regret at all! 
On the way up was already a headache for me... Now WE NEED TO GO DOWN! It was really a frightening experience for me as there was 1 part that when we were going down, that area was very high and steep. I slipped and fell to the bottom straight from the top!!! =O Thankfully, my angel, my bf caught me from the bottom... If not I think I may suffer from a broken leg, feet or whatever. Thank God that he was there, ready to catch me when I fall T_T 

Hehe! Only me who need so many help from the guys. =X 

Back to civilisation... Hahaha! After the 2 tough challenge of the day, its time to relax and take some photos.



Day 7 - Kawasan falls! 

Another falls! But this time Im not going to climb but just pure viewing pleasure =) 

Good morning peeps! 

Ready to go! 





Hehe! The lead actress was the naked lady behind me =P

Taking this raft to go through the waterfall was soooo fun!!! It's like doing a body massage. Haha! 



Alright... time for some pre-nup picture taking again. Hahaahahah JOKE! 




Day 8 - A new fun experience in Cebu zoo! 

The zoo definitely don't look very "appealing" on the outside and as compare to Singapore Zoo... Its too far behind BUT! The experience there was really fun... Here's why...

You can go up close to the snake...eagles and even the CROCODILE! =O

Day 1 - 4: My first trip to Philippines - Cebu

I am very excited about this trip as it's gonna be a long 2 weeks trip andI know absolutely nothing about Cebu. Hehe! Its my bf who keep on telling me that I should go there and have an eye-opening experience. The best thing is... Its the first time that I don't have to plan anything when going for a trip! =D

At first I was pretty sceptical about going to anywhere in Philippines as the news always have something bad to report about Philippines - Terrorist, robbery etc. Even my parent is very worried about me going there (even thou baby is going with me). Hehe. I guess, alot of people has stereotype Philippines in a wrong way.

The moment I reached Cebu, there was REALLY nothing much to be worried about. Yes, you may still need to be careful with your belongings it is not as scary as you think it is. Cebu is a city that has huge shopping malls, supermarket and etc. It look pretty safe to me.... and everything is cheap! Haha!

Alright, so heres my adventure to Cebu...

Day  1 - SM Mall! 
Nothing much as the time we reached Cebu its already 5pm. Hehe. So we stop over at SM mall and have some Dim Sum to fill up our tummy.

Our dinner for that day

Day 2 - Attending a church wedding
We went to baby's auntie church wedding and went for lunch afterwards. Its my first time going for a church wedding. Hehe. I get to see the things they do. I heard that this is already a simplified version. The actual one will take HOURS.... =O  


Lunch time at Lantaw Floating Native Restaurant! The food there is nice but.... the only thing is that there is alot of flies! The waiter and waitress have to keep on fanning them away until I find it so hilarious and have to video it down =P 

Address:
Sa Baybayon, Cordova, Cebu, Philippines


Watch how the staff there have to keep on fanning to keep the flies away. Hehe! 




After lunch, we went to Mountain Top. (I wonder why there isn't a special name for this place.) The view is really beautiful. 









Day 3 - Rest and relax day. 
We just went to his relative place, shopping and EATTTTT! First stop... We went to uncle Steve's house to check out the status of the renovation. Then we went to the place where my bf 's aunt stay. It is a nice place... Its like a house where I used to dream to have... I know I can never own a house with 2 storey in Singapore because its wayyyyy too expensive! Now, at least I know where I can go. Hahaha!!!

My bf asked his cousin to speak a few words of mandarin to me but she is not very fluent. Still, good effort! Haha! Better than my bf... Chinese but can't speak mandarin =P Okay, at least he can speak fluent English and his own dialect. Haha!

Baby's relative from his Dad's side. The aunt keep on telling me to find a bf for her daughter. Haha! 


Im always amazed about their set lunch - Every meal MUST HAVE RICE even when theres already noodle. 

Complete the steady hand and win a pen. Haha.  

Dinner time @ Ayala Mall! The food was really yummy =D







We bought a couple tee. Hehe! 

Day 4 - Chinese Taoist Temple 
Took tons of pictures. All thanks to the one and only selfie stick. Haha!

Their local dishes looks like Singapore "Cai Fan" except that here is no "Cai" (veggies). Haha! 

Baby's very cute parent. 




Wacky pose! 

Back to Ayala mall for dinner ^_^ 
"Take enough photos already hor!" 
TBC...
