Cebu Trip : May 6 - May 8, 2009



Last May 6 was our 2nd month Anniversary and we celebrated it by going to Cebu. Mostly it was a business trip for my girlfriend since she was there to monitor and evaluate her OJT students and I was there because I wanted to get a breather away from work.



We took so many pictures and it was one tiring but fun and happy adventure/vacation for us. We just got back from Cebu around 4AM this morning, aboard the Trans Asia ship. We were so pissed when we left last Wednesday because our voyage was delayed for 3 hours because a woman gave birth in the clinic and the hotel manager along with the officers took her to the hospital after she gave birth. We left the port at around 12AM and we arrived in Cebu at around 7AM in the morning. We were greeted by one of her students, Dominic who gave us a slightly informative routes for getting to the place we need to go.



We settled at Shamrock Pension House and rested for a couple of hours before starting off with the monitoring. We left at around 11am and went to SM Megamall to kill the time, since we were due at SMART and INFOCOM at around 2pm. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we were delayed by annoying insurance salesmen and it took us 1 hour and a half to get away from them. Around 4pm, we arrived at the Asia IT Park and started to hike all the way to the building where Infocom was housed. After the visit, we went to the new Smart building located in N.Bacalso avenue, formerly known as PLDT building. But we were too late since the supervisor of her students already left and we were forced to reschedule for tomorrow. Not knowing what to do anymore, we decided to go to the Ayala Mall and it took us near 30 minutes to get there.

Tired and feet hurting but still with the desire to explore the place, we decided to meet Dominic there and went around to walk for a bit in the mall. It was a nice mall, but I am used to the small malls in Cagayan de Oro city and it was kinda frustrating to be lost in a Mall.

We ate dinner at Pizza hut and we tried out their Lasagna pizza, a good 14 inch thin crust pizza with the lasagna goodness. It was like eating a thick crust pizza and it was oh so good. 2 slices made me full to the brim I had to loosen my belt.

We went to Starbucks before we went home to try out their coffee and believe it or not, it's as expensive as Coffeeworks here in Cagayan de Oro and the coffee was great.

Afterwards we went back to our hotel and took a shower and finally slept after a long day.
