Saint Vincent de Paul
one of the fondest memories of my university life was taking the mass every Sunday at Saint Vincent de Paul’s chapel.
i was already not a religious person at the time, but i have always enjoyed good singing. the SVP chapel had a really good choir. and i really liked Saint Vincent de Paul’s birthday because it means school holiday. 🙂
last time i was in France, i took the chance to finally visit his ville-natale.

My Moalboal Part 2: Montaneza Waterfalls and Mainit Hot Spring
As mentioned in Part 1 of this travel post, I initially intended to go canyoning, but I had the misfortune of getting sick on the day of my travel and so figured I should postpone it til next time when I come back with my family, since hubby is also interested to do it.

I told them, I feel really funny being toured around Cebu by a couple of foreigners, as if I’m not local. Although, come to think of it, I have been living outside The Philippines for almost ten years now, so I’m not really that much of a local anymore.

I had been searching the internet for a mini-break by the beach when I chanced upon SilkAir‘s Sale for flights going to Kalibo, Cebu and Davao earlier this March. It was a perfect opportunity for me. my first option was Boracay via Kalibo. But I wanted to go at such short notice that it was impossible for me to find a decent lodging at a decent price. And so, I opted for Cebu instead.
