The Koi At White Sands

My nth time to have lunch (day trip) at this lovely resort and the only time I came to discover they have a lot of these colorful creatures. And at various locations at that! Yep, unbeknownst to many who do not avail of room accommodations, there are a lot of them at ponds near/at the buildings where the rooms are located. How did I know about these? I got curious at 5 Japanese tourists so busy with their big cameras and whathavya gears shooting something on ground, so I went near!

There are too many of them, they are colorful and they come in various sizes – from a mere inch or even less, to probably 3 feet and; from a mere speck to as fat as a my thigh! They’re a school that must have already learned to associate humans with food. Fun to see them flock towards the side of a pond where any human would come approaching – even if just the housekeeping staff passing by! I liked watching the big ones when they come slithering forward. Though they keep a bit deeper than smaller ones, you could still see that they swim so sexy!

As a school of fish to be found in one place, I think these are the “most” in terms of number and size that I have seen in Cebu so far. Yeah, am still thinking, but I can’t remember anywhere else grander. Ah, and by the way, you can buy little packs of fish food at the front desk, in case you want to play with these lovely creatures!

Entertainment enough! Kids will have fun here… I did! Ehem!


look at front of that yellow mouth, there's a tiny little orange koi
this one I might as well call A380 - it's more than a jumbo!
some of them look like carp!
one staff told me they all have no teeth so it's ok to let them
grab fish food from your fingers! Wheh?! Ayaw ko... AYAW!
size 12 foot atop some of the bigger fry

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Carigara Delicacies as Pasalubong

Image
This was still on my joyride from Calubian to Tacloban, we naturally had to pass by Carigara. This time we "stopped-to-shop" oh ha?! My driver promised his three lovely daughters that he would bring home some pasalubong from Carigara, thus the 'shopping'. He went (I followed) to only this roadside store.., Well, he's been a driver for so long a time, I cannot contest his knowledge on where to buy the best of these pasalubongs! There are many stores on this highway strip, and I think they sell the same things! As the driver picked what he had to pick (and haggled with the vendors for more] I clicked hehe! Here's the honest deal about me and these sweets from Carigara - or other sweets from anywhere for that matter: I am not really too keen on any of them, such that I'd crave for, or plan to specifically seek them out. BUT - when I get started with ANY of them, there's no telling when I will/can stop. IF at all! I do not even know or care to know wha
