Going to Philippines last week was a blast! This is Tian getting out of the Piper Warrior after we waited for over an hour for him and his instructor to pick us up at Cebu. 
It was really interesting when we took off in that tiny plane. I've never rode in such a small plane before, and I guess when we hit the air pockets or whatever (as Tian would say, when it got "gusty" -except that it was gusty the whole time, eh?) then it got a bit scary. A bit like a tiny drop on a roller coaster. Very exciting for a non-pilot person like me! Anyway, here are some pics of Cebu island as we flew over it. Man, that's one long island...  
Ma and I in the backseat of the plane! 
Anyway, there was nothing much to see/do at Dumaguete except hang out with Tian (that was the main reason anyway). But we did get to enjoy the sunset and sunrise by the beach! The sunset was really quite nice even though it was behind us, but we missed the sunrise and it was rather cloudy anyway. We did a bit of touring (more like window shopping) at Cebu City on Saturday before coming back, but it was raining and I guess we were just so tired so we hung out most of the time at the airport that day. OH! My new all time favorite drink is avocado shake! It's smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness and really refreshing! And it's a pretty substantial drink, too! *smacks lips Anyway, will upload more pics when the time is right (patience, Tian...). Mabuhay! |
