Kai and I meet CDO and Camiguin :)

Day 1:

Kai and i left for cdo at around 11am and arrived at around 1pm. I was expecting  a sun shiny day but arrived with a gloom in the sky. As soon as we arrived, we met, janice, our tour guide. I find her nice and very accomodating. She suggested to have a trip immediately to Bukidnon to tryout the zipline in Dahilayan park. That was the shooting place of sam milby and kc conception's movie. It was a nice place. Very cold... Wrong outfit. For the first time, i did not bring any jacket for this trip. I was wearing an oversized shirt and miniskirt... And yes, i did try the zipline with that! Got a little bit scared at the beginning, knowing that i was so high up in the air and thinking if my buckles were all secured... Kai was shouting all the way. Hahahaha. After eating our late lunch, we went back to the city to settle in our hotel. Supposed to meet sasha but she cant make it at 8pm cos apparently, she's now a parent! Didnt know that! Lol. 

At Dahilayan park, Bukidnon. Soooo cooold! 

Day 2:

Happy birthday KAI!!!! The day was cooperative.  We went white water rafting! Soooo fun! Good thing, kai and i chose to ride on the last boat where the funny boatman was. Best part of the rafting was the eating of the wild seedful banana! I took home one for remembrance. I'll eat it later. :) i wish i had my waterproof cam with me. It's just too bad i didnt have the right charger :( oh well sayang talaga! I swam in the rapids too. That was fun.. Although, i missed the super fun part where we should all have jumped from the right side of the boat so we could feel the speed of the rapids. :( missed it! Kuya kasi. He said to not jump cos there 's a large rock, nahuli kasi kami. Anyway. Better safe... But still... Anyway, i still had the white water swimming... :) pwede na yun. The view was spectacular. I didnt expect to go swimming. Kala ko tipong wisik wisik lang. I thought it was just going to be a short rio grande like ride.. But noooo, it took hours to finish! :) hrmmm... The company was cool. They were not boring at all. I just didn't get their names.. 

Before prepping for the rafting day, Kai, the birthday girl, was welcomed by a happy birthday pastel from our tour guide, Ms. Janice.

The rapids, boatmates and i. My helmet and life vest looked awkward on me. They gave me the oversized one. Haha.

Come evening, We met Sasha and her lovely family in CDO after 10 years!!!

2nd day was truly the highlight of this trip :)

3rd day:

Camiguin day. It took us an hour and a half to ge to the port where we will be riding the boat to Camiguin. It was a peaceful travel going to the destination and the sun was shining. It was a pretty day. Aside from Kai, Ms. Janice and the driver, a couple named Cassy and Burnie were with us in the trip, too. During the boatride, the couple saw a whale! Darn, i missed it. But, oh well, that's fine. They took a pic of me in the boat. Haha. 

Camiguin was such a peaceful place. There were not too much people around and it was just relaxing. First stop, we went to an All-you-can-eat lutong bahay eatery. I've never seen anything like that in manila or in laguna. Awesome! :) and we just spent 125 pesos for that. Great deal!

Then, we went water hopping: falls, cold spring, bura soda water spring and Ardent hot spring. Sorry, i forgot what the cold spring and falls were called.. Brrr.

Cold water spriiiing!

Bura Soda Water Spring. It's weird that the water really tasted like soda... A bit sweet, too.

Here we are at the hot spring. Not so hot as what i have experienced in Coron, Palawan. But it's quite alright. 

And then, after dinner, we went back to the nice hotel. Was not able to take a picture of it. Sayang.

Day 4:

Our last day. We went to the white island beach. We were supposed to leave really early but we woke up at around 6am. We were able to leave for the beach at 7am. The water was nice. A bit warm in fact. And the water's light blue. It's just a bit cold and really windy. But still ok. 

Highlight: sea urchin delicacy. I ate the poor sea urchin.. Dibale, once in a blue moon lang naman... I hope they won't go extinct. (Sea urchinsn sponsored by Cassy and Bernie.. Salamats!!)

We didn't have time to eat lunch cos  we left Camiguin island at 10am. We had to rush back to cdo so the plane wont leave us. 

On our way back to Cdo. 

Saying goodbye to Cagayan De Oro...

That's it, pancit! Til we meet again, CDO :) 

To my dear friend, Kai, 

Thank you for choosing me among your many friends to bond with you on your birthday in CDO. After 10 years, ganyan ka parin. Hahahaha! I really had fun kahit na may times na na praning tayo sa daan on the way to Jollibee . Lol at bugnutin na kasi gutom. Sana matuloy ang Japan trip mo next year. Go get the travel bug infect you. I wish you true love and happiness. Malay mo, sa Japan mo sha ma meet. Ahihihi. Until our next trip, Kai! Tc always :)
