Finding A Ride: Tacloban To Palapag

Image
Let's go! But... What Where When How? After asking around, I learned that it is only D'Turbanada Transport that has regular scheduled direct Tacloban~Palapag trips. So I went to find their terminal in the city. Easy to find because they are on google maps , and they have an FB Business Page ! They even have a people profile also on FB that looks like the most regularly updated. Click click click and... I wasn't satisfied, so, I went to their Tacloban Terminal, 2 days before planned departure. Why? Because I needed to know the differences between a big-bus , a mini-bus and van . Why? Ay, for longer trips, my long legs need to know! At the terminal, I was told it takes the van 6~7 hours from Tacloban to Palapag, but due to the waiting at San Juanico bridge, it at times becomes 8 even 9 hours. Hiyay! I knew that was a bit exaggerated. I noted that anyway, to manage my expectations. Then I saw these... all taped at various parts of the tellers' glass-wall...

Pink Sisters, My Cebu Experience

Image
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...

Arriving At Iloilo International Airport

Image
On a domestic flight that is! I just came from Cebu this time hehe. But there is not much of a difference here. You just omit the immigration and customs arrival proceedings. So here we were. I mean "they" my fellow passengers, getting out of the 'eroplano' and going to "arrive" at the airport. This place they are walking on is called the "aerobridge", that movable thing that physically conencts the airport to the airplane. By the way, so you do not get confused, and for "dagdag kaalaman", the aerobridge has so many synonyms. It can be called an "airbridge", skybridge", "airtube", "jet bridge", "jetway", "jetwalk", "airgate", and many other names. They all mean the same thing. And here we were making our way to the Arrivals Concourse... note its going down... The empty hallway to the left, is part of the boarding gate - where departing passengers will pass later when th...
