Singapore to Cebu to Tacloban

Connecting flights again - International to Domestic.

This time I took an Air Asia flight Z2-7237 leaving Singapore at 9:10PM and arriving Cebu at 0:55AM. I was out of Cebu's international arrivals at about 2AM, walked up to the domestic check-in and slept at the Mabuhay Lounge until 7AM. I had the famed Arroz Caldo for breakfast and boarded my Philippine Airlines flight PR-2236 that departed Cebu 8AM and I was in Tacloban 845AM! Good enough, I guess!

Passengers (including me) on this Air Asia flight from Singapore to Cebu had no choice but to sleep it out as it was dark and it was past 9PM. Well, not after I had two cans of SanMigLight! Pampatulog ba!

P120 isa, I think hindi na masama! Dalawa lang naman.., pampa-idlip nga lang! You can't also sleep all the way to dreamland, since arrival is 5 minutes before 1AM - madaling-araw na medyo hatinggabi pa!

What happened on this flight? Wala! Tulog. Wala akong story-telling-a-lie!

Also at MCIA domestic departure and Mabuhay Lounge, I guess I was more interested in just sleeping than anything else, because after that Air Asia Menu, the next picture that I had on my phone was this.

Boarding my PAL flight PR2236 Cebu to Tacloban, just after a heavy rain! Buti tumila na in time for our boarding! Ah, if there's anything I can't be comfortable about taking this kind of flight, hindi ako naligo!

There are no showers at Cebu airport, di ba? So, my last bath was yesterday morning in Singapore pa!

Welcome to Tacloban!

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

Balantak Falls

I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
