Osmeña Peak - The highest peak in the Queen City of Cebu

Oslob Whaleshark Encounter - Became a popular tourist attraction in Oslob Cebu

Wacky post with Butanding :-)

Sumilon Island Hopping - Coral island off the coast of Bancogon, Oslob, Cebu. A popular attraction in Sumilon Island is its sandbar because of its changing shapes and shifting locations around the island depending on the season.

Tumalog Falls - Another must-see and recently discovered place in Oslob is the Tumalog Falls. The falls have mini-umbrellas that cascade fine strands of cold, fresh water in a rain-like fashion. It can be reached via a habal-habal or on private cars.

Pescador Island - Located in Moalboal Cebu, is one of the best dive sites in the country, surrounded by a terrific reef that teems with marine life, and renowned for its swirling sardine shoals.

Sardines land

Canyoneering to Kawasan Falls - The most popular tourist destination in the town and the last part of our tour. :-) Canyoneering experienced has all the excitements, thrills and once in a lifetime adventure! Leave all the stress and just enjoy the chilling waters and breathtaking sceneries of nature.

After two days, we came back to City to witness Sinulog festival, street party, and to buy some pasalubong in Taboan Market.

Thank you!

Exchanging Vows

Last May 31 my boyfriend proposed to me and we decided to get married on December of this year. The first thing we did? Find the Church where we are going to exchange our vows on our big day :-)

Fiance and I agreed to choose Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish at Brookside Cainta Rizal.

The Catholic community of Brookside Hills and the other mini-parishes are enjoying the daily Eucharistic celebrations and other sacraments like Baptism, Confirmation, and Marriage. The parish is very much alive with the active participation of the parishioners in all its activities. If you also like the Church for your wedding, here's the Parish office contact number - 656 2533 or visit at Brentwood St. Brookside Hills Subd. Cainta Rizal.

Aside from Sacred Heart of Jesus, the here are some of the list of different Parishes in Rizal where you can get married :-)
