Sumilon Island

Sumilon Bluewater Resort is 3 in a half trip from Cebu city. I was so lucky to have gone to this place because fortunately it's the sister resort of the company where I am working, Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort as a reservations officer. I was actually given the privilige to stay one night in one of their deluxe rooms with free transportation and fullboard meals. It was like an early birthday gift from my boss because I will be celebrating my birthday on the 3rd of October. Heheheheh.. But anyways there's so much to do in the resort, you can go snorkeling, trekking, kayaking, diving, swimming in their sea view pool which is in the picture below and just relax and unwind and enjoy everything the island has to offer. Not only that, the island has a sandbar and has a sandy white beach like in the photo above.. I really enjoyed the whole time I was there. It was the best experience of my life. I was with one of our new associates who is based in Manila who eventually became a good friend of mine.


Just some info about the island, getting there you can take a bus from the city going to the mainland of Bangcogon Oslob. Once you reach the mainland which is still owned by the resort, you will ride another 10 minute boat ride going to the Island. Note: the boat ride going to the island is already part of your booking wether it is room accommodation or day trip only.

Day use rate is Php1,500 (weekdays) and Php2,000(weekends). This includes lunch, island activities that I mentioned above and boat transfers.

Room rate: Php7,500 w/ breakfast
Php8,500 w/ fullboard meals

For reservations: Please call 032-4810801 or 5167236

I guarantee that you will never forget your Sumilon experience and will cherish it for the rest of your life just like I did.

Bantayan Island

Bantayan Island is located in the Southern part of Cebu. Going there takes about 4-5 hours.

Going there, you will have a 3 hour trip from the city of Cebu going to Hagnaya via any landtrip transportation. Kami, we took Ceres bus and paid more or less Php150.00/person. Upon reaching Hagnaya, you will take another ferry ride going to Sta. Fe (Bantayan Island). Ferry rate ranges from Php35-Php200 depending on the ferry that is available. However, if you are on a tight budget, you can just wait for the ferry with the cheapest fare. Trip schedule are every 30minutes to one hour. Travel time takes about an hour.

We stayed in Budyong Resort, it was okay though except that you won't really be wowed by the room but it was I guess the best resort spot to stay and spend your holiday if you are a beach lover because the room that we had was fronting the beach and it is air conditioned. The rate is Php1,500 per night room accomodation only. Just a tip: don't eat inside the resort because their food is soo expensive and the price is very unreasonable, better eat outside. The resort actually is situated near the church, market and native restaurants so feeling hungry is never a problem.

The best part so far from the whole trip is that I was spending it with someone special to me.. The sunset, the serenity of the place was so remarkable that I am out of words to describe how happy I am for being there and I'd still go back for sure..


below are some of our pictures taken during our Bantayan Experience

This is our room. The good thing is that it's facing the beach which is something i love...heheheh..

Realization..

it's 11:04 and I can't sleep. I have been so blind and lost for quite sometime after making the most stupid mistake of my life. Somehow someway, I never felt any regrets for doing what I did because I do have a lot of realization.

I was constantly in a dilemma between choosing the one I wanted and the one people thinks I deserve, and yes they were right. I thought choosing the one I wanted would me a better person and would make me feel happy..but I was wrong. I fell in a trap I made for myself. I was actually putting a stone in my head and creating my own problems. It's like the world was against me. People are ignoring me because I chose to be happy, as i thought, but I wasn't.

I tried to make the best of it making a scratch to a diamond, only to think that I was played and used. That's when the feeling of being lost sanked in. I was questioning myself why I allowed myself to be in this kind of ignorance and selfless generosity. Anyways, life can sometimes play your world and you don't realize it till somebody hits you so damn hard in the face. Oh well, how can it be so cool to be played by the one person you taught is the best for you? It sucks!

I thought I'd continue to be the worsest person others think I maybe for being so self centered and for choosing the wrong decision, hell no! I'm back and I'm ready to face the world! I did hurt a lot of people along the way, but I'm deeply sorry. Now, I'm picking up the pieces again and regaining everything I lost. I will bring back one diamond I lost because of being so insesitive and totally blinded by inferior life forms existing on earth.

As what I have said before, it will pass..and yes it did.

I have found myself and not just that, I know now where I belong....
