Find those words for yourself hehe. This big big signage is nailed to a tree over at Isla Del Sta Cruz Grande’s pink-sand beach! Yep, in the city of flowers :)
Enchanted River, Brgy. Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur "What a river" - you can use that expression to mean so many things. Let's start with this.., That's not a metropolis parking area. That's the road - about a kilometer before - the Enchanted River! I was already "pre-warned" by my driver that the place would definitely be more crowded than Tinuy-an Falls, but I didn't expect it to be this crazily crowded at 10:27AM. If you arrived in a 4-wheeled vehicle and this late, you'll be unfortunate to be walking about a kilometer from where you may park your car. Those who come in motorcycles have a shorter way to walk - only about half a kilometer hahaha! That's because motorbikes are allowed to a certain nearer point to drop passengers and/or load, then exit back to a designated parking area. Eto pa, for some reason rain stopped and sun shone harshly! Here here, for posterity shots (after the long walk), smile even if you are panting ...
Ok now, call me outdated or way behind the news on recent technological trends or financial sector developments. But I must swear this was the first time I saw it. Just this afternoon actually, as I emerged from the CICC having roamed the multitude of booths and displays at the "1 Cebu Expo 2011".
What is it? An ATM, yes. Oops this time, I mean an Automated Teller Machine and not the "automatic tubig machine" as you may have read here .
Mobile? Well yes, as you can see it is an AUV. The machine is installed in its mid-section where the 'crew' (driver and guard actually) retract a small platform for you to climb into, so you can reach the machine and face it squarely! They even also spread a square material atop the van that becomes a canopy to protect you and the machine from sun and rain. Nice thing eh!
I saw the guard open the back portion of the van so I peeped in. There is a small table and a seat like what you see at the rear portion of an FX. ...
What place comes to mind when you hear the phrase "Pink Sisters"? Hmm, yes, Baguio, then Tagaytay - in that order, right?! But did you know there is also such a monastery in Cebu? Ah, well, not really Cebu City since it is already a few steps away from the boundary. It is in Mandaue City. Yep, that is the 'Adoration Convent of Divine Peace' - a monastery for nuns clad in pink habit, reason why its called 'pink-sisters' and I think you know all about that part, right?! Anyway, this convent (and chapel of course - that's my topic in the first place) sits in an urban neighborhood that is by the boundary of two barangays both named Banilad. Yep, Barangay Banilad, Cebu City and Barangay Banilad, Mandaue City! And that is along AS Fortuna Ave., - the famed strip where many notable restaurants and branches of virtually every bank in this country are located with or without ATMs! Oh yes, as of this writing, AS Fortuna has four hotels, two of them new - and am only...
hehe..i find signs like this so amusing. I saw someones page on fb that was dedicated to comical signs!
