You've been living in the same place for quite a long time but you never get to experience traveling the whole city?
Guilty, in my -- years in this life, I've been to little places but never get to experience going to many places in my own province. Well, having put up always with my work really forbids me to go to so many places.

I want to travel even around the world but I want to start here in my province so I will list in my itinerary some places I want to visit before turning 50. (Age limit) lol!.

Let's go from the southern part, the center, and the northern part of Cebu:
South:
Oslob
Kawasan Falls
Central:
Temple of Leah
Sirao Flower Garden
Northern :
Bantayan Island
Malapascua Island

Oslob

Oslob is the number one place I want to visit because I love Tumalog falls so much. I don't know how to swim so I prefer falls. But I keep on falling for him. Ack(Ropa u?)
Tumalog falls is one of the finest and most visited falls in Oslob and even now that there's a pandemic there are still a lot of foreigners or even locals who visit the place. The cool water aigoooooooo!!!!! I want. My boss went there just last week and because it keeps on raining that they didn't get to enjoy and want to go back there. I want to come too...huhuh
I also want to watch whale sharks, Oslob also is very famous because of their "whale shark watching"

I've been fantasizing about having to lay my hand on such a creature. I can't swim as I have said but I will do my best to get close proximity within them. God let it be done just this once...Jeballllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kawasan Falls

By the name, you can tell that it's a fall. I heard about this place or this falls like several years ago when I was just a maiden...chorrrr...when I was just a newly employed staff after I quit college. Most of my superiors are planning to go there so I ask and they said it was the most relaxing place ever. Even though you don't want to get wet and bath there, the sound of the flowing water, it will calm your mind and your heart that's has been torn into pieces. ack!

See that overflowing water, that God-given nature water!!!!!!!!... Oh God, how I loved to dive in that and take away all the negative vibes in my body that keep lingering on...they have ropes that you can hold onto if ever you want to dive a little deeper...Eomma I want to go there...Am I so brokenhearted right now that I want some peace of mind??????? Aigooooo pabo-yah?

Temple of Leah

This was very near to me. Just one ride and I can be in this place. Such a cliche that I can't make time for myself to climb the mountain just to see the scenery.

Dubbed as Cebu’s version of India’s Taj Mahal, the Temple of Leah has been attracting foreign and local tourists for its Greek-inspired architectural shrine. Unlike India’s Taj Mahal, the Temple of Leah is not a mausoleum but serves as home to the treasures and memorabilia of the late Leah Albino-Adarna, the grandmother of Filipina actress Ellen Adarna. Her husband, Teodorico Soriano Adarna, reportedly spent 80 million pesos to put up this temple as a symbol of his undying love for her. While there, you can also enjoy a scenic view of Cebu from the top as it is located on top of a hill in Busay in Cebu City.

Imagine visiting this kind of kingdom. And this is just a few miles away from me. Yet I can't even visit such a place. I once had a friend who has a motorcycle and invited me to go sightseeing there. It's quite an inviting idea but I remember my mom told me that riding a motorcycle in a city is dangerous and Busay has a really steep road that one mistake and you'll be thrown out into the woods. They are located on the mountain top of Cebu. Ugh!

Sirao Flower Garden

This place is also near my workplace but I can't find time to go there. You see everybody, I have a very tight schedule that I even had work today, on a holiday, so cut me some slack, will you?

Sirao Flower Garden is one of the top Cebu attractions. You can find different kinds of flowers on the farm like Celosia— the most famous of them all. There’s an entrance fee of PHP20. Although the flowers are worth checking out, be prepared as the place can get crowded due to flocking tourists who wish to have a good photo at the farm, too.

This place is located near Temple of Leah so they're quiet siblings. The entrance fee is also cheap for you to experience getting to see these beautiful flowers. I know I have a lot of virtual friends here who are plantitas and who love flowers always so they'll be happy to see such a view.

Do you like the view? Wait till you get there, you'll be amazed. That's what I always read about people coming into that place. You see that hand over there? It can load a complete family or a group of 10.

Keep stomping in my hand but not on my heart. You revolve in that hand but you keep running in my mind. Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd (cringey!!)
When you see it closely, these hand is really big so you will not fall easily unless you're dumb to jump sideways.

Bantayan Island

This place has been living on my bucket list for a decade now and I never get to check it out. Bantayan island for me is a place of escape. When I was brokenhearted before, I search for places where no one knows me and no one recognizes me. I want to shout my pain and let it out. So I promise myself that I will definitely go there when the right time comes. But maybe that right time will not come sooner than I expected and maybe all those unsaid words of frustrations and the pain still lives in me because of the promise I had made for myself. 2011 I put this place as my number 9 on my bucket list. The last one was to commit suicide. So maybe God really never let me set foot in this place because He doesn't want me to commit another sin anymore...Hayyyyyyyyyssss..those days were really tough, didn't know I could make it this far.

What am I doing? erase that so yes this was on my bucket list

The place is located in Sta.Fe, Bantayan Island. Can you see that clear blue seawater?? It's very tempting..ghaaaaaddd I love it. And you will not be drowned because the water level is not high. So quite works for me hehehe

Malapascua Island

source

Never experienced diving in my entire life so I want to try it too before I die in his arms..chorrrrr..
I once held a dolphin before but I never get to play with him because he's dying and was sent to the center.
I am never fond of sea creatures since I'm not an adventurist but the moment I touch a dolphin I was mesmerized by it. I even went to an ocean park before just to see dolphins aigooooo..The fee was so expensive but it's worth it.

I want to go there to unwind no to drown myself. I love my life now just as much as I love my son.

So these are the places I want to visit here in my province, the province of Cebu. So if you want to come to visit here just message me I will go with you if it is free and if I have free time.. ugh.

Thank you to my amazing sponsors, you're one of the many reasons I'm still writing, and thank you for trusting these hopeless prick aigoooooo...

Thank you for reading

Have a great day

Keep safe!

God Bless!

Fin!
