My First Time in Bohol

I got this coupon for a Bohol getaway for 4 via dealgrocer.com that was reduced to P20,000 instead of P53,680. What a steal, right? Perfect for mine and Jim’s birthday. We went with the boys, Jim, Manny and Ernest (minus Cholo huhuhu) and we enjoyed Panglao Bluewater Beach Resort too much that we did nothing but stay there instead of exploring the rest of Bohol!!!

But, really, how could we leave this place?

This is Aplaya restaurant. Their food is AMAZING. Our coupon came with a free welome lunch platter.

Yup we mostly hung out by this pool

And took pictures of the awesome garden

And rode the golfcart a hundred times

We had complimentary breakfast buffet meals (look at our lazy asses hahaha)

We were going to stay at our resort and be lazy under the sun the whole day but decided to go to at least one attraction – Bohol’s famous Chocolate Hills!

It was so beautiful. Well worth it!

It was a long walk to the top

But we had three guitars so we were singing the whole way!

I also shot this video of the boys performing their next single Roundabout. This song has been stuck in my head for so many days now!! You should hear the album version. Get Ernville’s album, Greatest Hits, available in Odyssey and Astrovision :)

Here are the lyrics so you can sing along

Well I can see we were lovers
Strolling down a splintered hall
Our love was compelled by two distant spells
Who would argue we’d steal what they owned
You light up the sky with your luminous mind
My lips stammer on to the gleam of your eyes
You’d rule the airwaves the world was your stage
I’ll be here when the curtains fall
Can we try this, may we try this
Can we try this again?
I know we can make it
I know that it won’t get too old
Reliving our first kiss
The fight to attain this
It was all for you
Now these words they flow candy whistles blow
My heart it beats to the beat of your jangly walk
Dive into the skies jump cliffs for the high
Fear was a ghost for you were the prize
The famous roundabout your name it lit the town
I’ll be here when the flame goes out
The famous roundabout, I’ll be here
Can we try this, yes we’ve tried this
Can we try this again?
I find direction in your lack of certainty
I find elation in my utmost certainty

No I didn’t get to see any tarsiers. I did, however, witness a guy proposing to his girlfriend. It was the sweetest thing – I cried!! I’d never seen a proposal before. She said yes, of course. <3

About Saab

I like plastic balloons, polly pockets, cheap cake and spooky couches.

    IDK if you saw my tweet but I told you sayang di tayo nag-abot sa Bohol! Swerte nyo kasi mukhang maaraw when you went. When we were there (fieldtrip) the weather was kinda gloomy, paulan-ulan. Sana you tried din having lunch at the floating restaurant at Loboc River!

    BTW, nice photos! OTP ko na kayo ni Jim, hehe :)

    last time i heard ernville was really a long time ago..they performed in the up fair dont know exactly what year was that..i remember they sounded like blink 182 *maybe because of the accent* and the hair of the vox was kinda lil bit longer, their music is heavier that time, good song! the band evolved a lot!
