in love

We took our vacation on Holy Week at Misamis Oriental, to penitent.
We traveled going to Misamis Oriental April 22 very early in the morning. HAHA
This is the stairs going to the Statue. So many people,
and the stairs, oh, this is a very looong walk. haha
Our first destination is Divine Mercy @ El Salvador, but before going there, we took our breakfast at McDo located near Limketkai. Bad thing is I didn't like their food. It SUCKS. :'( After breakfast, we continue our ride going to El Salvador City. It's half hour ride, I think. We got there and oow, the people are everywhere. So busy out there.









El Salvador is famous with their Divine Mercy Statue:



The whole place was also maintained by its beautiful flowers. Different kinds. :)



Then, first thing's first. We do the Stations of the Cross. 14 Stations all in all. There were really a lot of people there. I won't post pictures on this. It's a lot. XD
After that, we went to Villa Arcadia @ Talisayan, Mis. Or.. I thought first that there were only few people who check in in that resort. hahaha. When we arrived there, wew, a lot of cars were parked on the lot. Good thing there were available rooms for us to avail. Villa Arcadia, is an hotel and resort with their beautiful sea shore, swimming pool, mini golf, bar, hotel, playground, and they also have a baywalk. 
Their sea shore 'daw' is the Bohol Sea. They got a WHITE SAND. :D Fine, white sand:
That is there sea shore, the mountain beside us is the Sipaka island. :D and beside Sipaka island is the Camiguin Island. :D

There is their fine white sand. :) It is really fine. You can hardly find big stones there, because all you can find is shells. :)


Caroline @ Villa Arcadia hAHAHA.. so messy!


you can see how fine is there sand there.
Well, actually, the fine sand can be found to the next resort, and I don't know how to get there thru National Highway, but you can go there thru exiting the gate near the fences @ Villa Arcadia. XD


This is their swimming pool, it taste salty. HAHA




This is their Baywalk. :D It's scary to walk right there because the bridge is only made up of wood, and it's kinda already old.. But, worth walking!

':) 

The sign is in vernacular but it says: "Please don't lean and sit in the railing because it isn't that strong to hold"
hahaha


It's a bench, facing the sea. :) It's good sitting here, the wind is so refreshing!

This is my sister, and she is sitting on a bench facing again the sea but on different location. XD

And, ow, that's the way to the other resort where you can find the white fine sand. XD

Sitting on the sand. :) smile!

this is the room we accomodate. It was worth, I think PhP 1,800.00, but only good for two persons, but you can add additional beds for PhP 250.00 per head. :) Kinda costly and it doesn't satisfy that much. :')

and yeah, the rooms we always checked-in during our vacations would be messy like this, HAHAH.. and Oow, the rooms have high prices, but the TV? you see that box over there? that's the tv available on the room, with ONLY a DVD player and no cable connection. Sad Fact, too, is that the TV is not that good, the sound from the movie, cannot be heard and the video cannot be clearly see at first, but later, yes. BUT it really sucks.

good thing their beach is good. :)) It's morning that time, so it's still low tide. XD

They got also a Coffee Shop. :) Sipaka View because you can clearly see the Sipaka mountain inside the shop. :)

they also have a jacuzzi, I don't know. HAHA but, they got this thing above the pool. XD

We went to the baywalk again. :)

They got a balete there, the sign says: BONZAI of the Century BALETE; for hundreds of years, this balete tree grew and survived on top of these rocks. This is how Mother Nature creates WONDERS.

This is their bar, I think. They got a billiard. When we got here last April 22 in the afternoon, many guys played this thing and they are very noisy. HAHA


here's their bar. :)

their place was full of nature, with lots of trees and flowers and plants, you could also see eagles there, and monkeys. :) this is a gumamela which is one of the flowers that can be found there. :)

They also have the mini golf course, BUT we never tried that one, we always spend our time on the beach and pool. HAHA

that! Costs PhP 1,500.00 HAHA with the trip to Sipaka Island. XD cave2x, diving3x. :D But, we also had not tried that. :D

hanggang picture lang yan. AHAH. Glass bottom. :) The boat has a glass on the floor where you can view the marine life below. :) We also had never tried it. XD

Karaoke! on their coffee shop. My sisters were to eager to sing, and when my youngest sister starts to sing, HAHA. Brown out! XD

This is our breakfast. It ONLY cost for PhP 120.00. TOOOO Expensive for a sunny side up with burnt sides and a friend chicken. XD

that's their address, I think my sister took that picture. :) we're already bounding to CDO!

HAHA. My sister and I. :) Who's more beautiful? hahaha


models of Villa Arcadia. HAHAH. just joking. :D Bye Villa Arcadia. Thank you for the  nice beach, and please improve you food and rooms, :D

And, then, we went to the Maria Lourdes, I don't really know what saint is she. :) but, she heals and answers prayers. :) It is located at Binoangan, Mis. Or. 

That pool right there is a spring.
the water from the spring believes
to be miraculous. :) Many children
took bathes the

That is the prayer chapel where everyone who enters and willing to be prayed at, will be. 


After the prayers, we bought some things in the place, I bought a necklace, I forgot what its called. ahaha. And, I don't know if it was really a part of the plan, but dad is looking for the house of his grandson, zarry. :) After many inquiries to people,we found their home at Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. :) Ate Zara, Zarry's mom was so shock that we're there. You see the smile in her face? I think she's happy. :

That is our pamangkin, Zarry, with her mom, Zara. And his dad, is I don't know where big brother is now, HAHA. He's working at CDO City. They're not yet married to each other because kuya is still studying as well as Ate Zara. And they're too young to be married. 



The kid was no comment? haha, Dad's face, you can see how happy he is seeing his cutie patootie grandson. :)

HAHA. Me, my sister and Zarry. Titas and the Pamangkin.

Me and Zarry. haha. He was really uncomfortable that I carried him. He nearly cried. HAHAH

He's so handsome. :)

He smiles! weeeh.. hahaha


I think, Zarry resist from dad. HAHA Grandfather and Grandson


We then, say our good byes to them. 'til next time cutie patootie. :) Be healthy! and stay strong! I wish you could visit us here @ Malaybalay City. :D
Then, we continue our journey to Cagayan de Oro City. We took our lunch at Lemkitkai, at Mang Inasal. I was really hungry, good thing, they served fast! hahah




We then watch that ^ movie on theatre. :) ahaha. It was a good movie with the cast of:  Vic Sotto, Bea Alonzo, Santino, and a lot more. The movie was funny, with romantic scenes,too. And you can also see the love. :) haha you better watch it, you'll never regret it!

Dad and mom left us there at kitkai after the movie because they got something to find on the market. They just gave us PhP 300.00 each to buy whatever we want. hahaha. We searched for the things my sisters want to buy, me? I don't know what to buy, haha. so, I just go with the flow. HAHA. I only bought foods, like nachos, ice cream and zagu. I also bought a necklace pendant, with the shape of a letter C. :)

We went to goldilocks because mom will buy some pasalubong for my uncle who was left in their home at our little compound. :D We then took the picture above, a spongebob cake. HAHA. I was sitting there, and  the guard asked us not to take pictures of their cake unless we get the permission from the inside of their office, hahaah.. WTH, we just took a picture of it because it IS spongebob, not because the design of their cake. HAHAH Stupid people. @Goldilock located at Limketkai, Cagayan de Oro. 

After that, we went home already. A 2 and a half hour ride going home. :) We took our dinner @ radney's batchoyan. HAHAHA.


the time we got home, I look first for chulilit, my rabbit pet. But, she has run away from their home again. :'( I searched for her everywhere at the house, but I can't find her. I was so sad, I want to cry. :'(

When I woke up this morning, I searched for her again, nut still, no signs of her. HUHU. where are you, chulilit? I miss you! ;'(


well, goodnight. I want to sleep, I am super duper tired. :'( And, I am still sad that my pet was lost. :'(
-April 22 & 23.

I will post April 24, tomorrow. I am tired!
