Aloguinsan, Cebu

Aloguinsan's famous Bojo River

My officemates invited me to explore Aloguinsan a municipality located southwest of Cebu. I hurriedly said YES to them thinking "this is gonna be FUN" .. I was not wrong as a matter of fact after that mini vacation I invited my family to spend a weekend there and also recommend it to my other friends.  Going there by bus is not hard and not expensive, You will spend around 80 pesos (as March 2012) by bus to Aloguinsan from the South Bus Terminal. It took us 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach the place. Accomodations are easy and no hassle, I recommend Al maxi Apartelle, I tried there twice first with my officemates and second with my family. The rates are affordable and the caretaker is so accomodating. The caretaker's name is Aping just text her and set a date.  09104299687 - Al Maxi Apartelle

As of March 2012 the rates went up to 1400 per unit. 4 persons and additional of 400 per excess. 

Here are the pictures inside the unit in AL MAXI

BEFORE JULY BIDS GOODBYE

Its been centuries since my last blog, well I'm just metaphorically speaking though, It's been 18 months to be exact. I've been reading blogs there and there and that made me come up with blogging again. I left tumblr for good and back here in blogger. 

I've been so blessed this month first my first blog entry for Accenture's BP2B was considered one of the top 10 blogs, there were around 60+ entries and to be included as one of the top bloggers for Quarter 4 made me happy. Though I was not the best blogger for Quarter 4  but to be part of it was enough for first timers like me. second was my birthday celebration I shared with my friend Leslie third I watched Nikki Minaj's concert in Manila with Normel Go Tan :)

JULY 5, 2012

I turned 22 last July 5. Its been a good year for me in return I celebrated my birthday with the people who made me laugh harder and smile brighter.. Leslie and I combined the celebration since her birthday was not far away from mine, her birthday falls every July 4. It was just a simple celebration that took place in our office pantry. (all photos stolen from Poyetch) hihihihi..

NIKKI MINAJ PINK FRIDAY CONCERT

SM MALL OF ASIA ARENA

Flew to Manila with Normel and watched Nikki Minaj's Pink Friday concert. That trip was full of adventure.

I've been to Manila many times but that was the very first time I was not accompanied by my parents or teachers. 

Nikki Minaj's concert was not just about grooving and rapping but there are souvenirs sold around but too bad it was so expensive. It costs around P1000 each shirt.

Nikki Minaj - lucky to be near the stage 

Half of SM Arena..Imagine how big the venue was :0
