Back from Vacation

Finally, we're back from Bohol. And I got these amazing tan lines which I'm not really proud of. Because if I happen to take off my shirt, I look like I'm wearing another shirt. Also, the fact that I don't want to reveal my tan lines is that I'm too fat. Huge, maybe. I gained a lot of pounds since I was in Qatar and hoping to be thinner since I'll be staying here at home for a year or two. I look like Winnie the Pooh. Chocolate Winnie the Pooh. :)

We spent our summer vacation for 4 days in Bohol, Philippines. As you all know that the Philippines is the Central Marine Diversity in the world. I don't know if that's true but as we went there snorkeling, it is. The sea was very clean, free from pollution and garbage. It was cool, and the sea breeze was invigorating.

For 4 days, we circled Bohol visiting their tourist attractions. Some major ones like the world renowned Chocolate Hills which until now I wondered why they named it that way and some minor things like a 60 year old 3 feet long man. I didn't dare take a picture of him because I was saddened. For me, the family made him a freak so that many people will go there and see. It should not be that way but my mom told me that it's one way of supporting the man's needs financially.

We also get to see the smallest primate in the world - the tarsiers. Since I was a kid, the only thing I like about going to Bohol were those puny creatures. Unfortunately, they won't let us touch or even pet it. Darn.

Over all, my summer vacation was terrific not because of the sites and the attractions were all visited and documented, but the bond between our family grew stronger.
