Cebu, A Place Called Home

Three hours of a plane ride to Manila and another 45 to 50 minutes if you are going to my native homeland, Cebu.

The place I called home.

We arrived around 5:30 pm Pacific Time and whispered a prayer of thanks for the safe and smooth journey.

I was excited because it was our first time for the whole family together (usually it was just me or my son, this time husband tagged along which was his first Philippine trip).

Welcome to Cebu Daddy!

We were to witness the famous Sinulog Festival but sadly it didn’t go that way. Since we were about to go home the next day(this trip was short, just had issues with The Land of the Transportation Office for my Drivers License and a glimpse of Sinulog supposedly and we have to go back to Japan)

Instead, I showed him The Philippine Taoist Temple which is located in Beverly Hills and he enjoyed it there ( I was relieved, at least) so was I and my son.
