The Purple Slippers | Travels and More

After a hectic schedule in Dipolog and Dapitan, we stopped by Cebu for 3 days. I wanted to pamper me and be luxurious a bit. Good thing an Angel from up above grant my wish, a blogger friend in Cebu gave me a good deal to try their newly opened hotel. woohoo! They opened just 3 weeks ago if my memory serves me right. The Center Suites is conveniently located at Brgy. Camputhaw, Gonzales Compd., Escario Street, Cebu City, Philippines, 6000, it's a 15-minute walk away to Ayala Center, 5-minute jeepney or taxi ride to Parklane Hotel and Restaurant, a few minutes away from Perpetual Socorr Hospital. It's a family owned business and is personally managed by the family. John manages the pension. John was kind enough to tour us around, and check out their room accommodations and facilities.

Hmm the bed is so tempting. I know it'll be another busy day ahead, but Lai and Christian was so eager to take sunrise photos at Gallas. 4am we're already awake and traveled almost 20 to 30 minutes to reach Gallas port. We wanted to see people fishing, we wanted to see fishermen in action and the beautiful sunrise. 2 travel bloggers stayed in the hotel, while the other 5 went out for that trip.

3:00 PM Pinaytravelista buzz us in. We're heading Dipolog City Hall for a courtesy call to the City tourisms office. We drop off (plaza) and took some photos of this kids playing in the playground. Somehow I wish that Iligan City will have a park like this or of that of Oroquieta City, where kids can play free, instead of building playgrounds for a fee. We went to

I woke up quiet late and saw TravelJams already working on her netbook (the pleasure of working online). I opened my netbook and started checking mails. I was actually looking for our itinerary of the day, but there was none. I pinged PinayTravelista in Facebook and asked about our activity for the day, but she said there's no update yet. So Jam and I decided to just prepare our selves and pack our gadgets so when they'd say let's go, we're all set. Sponsored Breakfast... Yum...

It was raining hard when we arrived Dipolog City. I was lucky enough to have a far sighted sight and was alert enough to notice the welcome sign of Brgy Minaog, Dipolog City. I signaled the bus to stop and so we jump off.

I feel so honored being one of the travel bloggers permitted or should I say chosen to attend the recent Hudyaka Zanorte 2012 in Dipolog City last June 7 to 9, 2012 with 6 other Pinoy Travel Bloggers.  I arrived around 6:30 pm of June 6, 2012 at Brgy Minaog Dipolog City with Jam and Lisa Marie. As per instructions from the coordinator "Aleksi" (yeah that's really his really name) we stopped at the Isuzu Display Center across the Shell Station, beside that is Restreto Inn, which became our home for 4 days.

Last May 19, 2012 Iligan Bloggers Society Inc . celebrated their 1st Anniversary with a Summer Party at Mimar's Springway Resort. Last April 20 and April 22, 2012 me and my family was here to celebrate the birthday of my siblings Nique and Kirk. After seeing my posts, a reader asked me why am I keep on going there when in fact they have lesser number of swimming pools compared to the other resorts in the area. So here's the reason why. Thanks for the Photo Sir Pat Noel 1. I've been coming back in Timoga for many years now, since we lived in Iligan City and have been swimming from different resorts since
