#MichaelandhisArmie (Destination Wedding)

My high school friends and I have been so lucky to be invited in my friend's sister's wedding. I know right? That's a lot of association right there. While I've never really spent a decent amount of time with the bride, I've known her for a long time thanks to the maid of honor which happens to be my high school friend.

This was actually a destination wedding since none of the newlyweds are from Cebu. Ate Armie is from Negros and Kuya Michael is from Luzon. They've been both based in New Jersey for a while now and along with their family and friends, they travelled far and wide all the way to Cebu to celebrate the wedding.

Whale Sharks in Oslob, Cebu

Welcome to my first Wandering Wednesday post folks!!! :)) So excited to be sharing with you my first travel entry...although I'm not quite sure if this is going to last considering the fact that I haven't really traveled that much over the past few months. To add to that ball of a mess, I don't have pending plans either! Hahah!

Friends, blogger readers and uhm, random strangers who stumbled upon this blog for some weird reasons, let me present to you a memorable trip during one of the hottest and most depressing summer seasons of my life. Okay, I may only have 3 readers in total. Pardon the exaggeration.

Anyhoo, I have written about this in preview last June. When news came out early this year about visible whale sharks in Oslob, the town has immediately turned itself into a tourist spot. 

Oslob is in the southern part of Cebu, which is actually just less than an hour of travel from Sibulan via pumpboat or fastcraft and bus. They hold their 10-minute orientation at Brgy Tan-awan, Oslob where former fisherfolks turned tour guides await.

By the way, whale-watching is only open in public from 6am-1pm so it's ideal to be up and early at dawn to fully enjoy this trip.

No Other Concert: Annebisyosa in Cebu

I had one of the best surprises ever when I found out that I was going to Cebu to watch Anne Curtis-Smith live on stage! My initial reaction when Sinta broke the news at 2 in the morning? I literally went up-and-down-up-and-down-up-and-down-up-and-down jumping AND crying myself to death. I couldn't believe it was true so my excited mouth was all "Sure ni Ga? As in sure jud ka? Way joke? Asa ang ticket?" LOL

Sinta couldn't make it to the concert since he had some work-related things to do in Bayawan. However, Elvin (Sinta's brother) and Jo Ann (Elvin's wife) got themselves tickets too so I had companions! Plus most of Jo Ann's workmates were there too so it was really a riot!

I figured my readers wouldn't really care about other stuff in this post aside from the photos so here they are...

My Sinulog 2011

It is Sinulog weekend once again and it sucks big time to be me right now because I won't be able to go to Cebu. The moment I found out that I can't go was the moment I had my first  tears this year. (Second time was when I thought I lost Sinta's receipts yesterday. Phew!)


Anyway, I decided to do a self-torture today by reminding myself of how great I spent my Sinulog last year. I was in Cebu the whole time (because I was working) and I had  Mama and Sinta come over to celebrate with me. And since almost all of my college friends (Ka-gangs) were in Cebu, we unanimously agreed to celebrate it altogether.    

Dinner at my place!
