'BER' Months
With September, the 'ber' months are upon us. Department stores started displaying Christmas decors and the weather is a little cooler. This month also ended the 2-month Sandugo Festival.

Christmas is around the corner
Christmas is around the corner

Christmas is around the corner

(September 14, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol Island, Philippines) When the department stores display their Christmas wares, you know it's gift-giving time again. Best season in the year when I was a kid. As an adult with a wide social circle 2 decades back, it meant elbowing your wasy through the crowded malls in the winter (I was living in Canada then) to buy gifts to about 50 people in my Christmas list. I love those guys that's why they're on my list. But to realize when you got home that you forgot to buy one more gift and you have to go back to the mall again? It was like eating broken glass. As a much older man living life alone, I'm so relieved I don't have to put up with that list again.

Pedal-powered Motorcycle

Pedal-powered Motorcycle

(September 20, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol Island, Philippines) From a distance, it looked odd. A motorcycle was going so slow and the driver seemed to be pedaling. But I was positive it was a motorcycle. When it got closer, I realized I was right. It was a motorcycle. But it was pedal-powered. Hard to explain. Best to just see the picture.

The Cute Jogger
The Cute Jogger

The Cute Jogger

(September 20, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol Island, Philippines) Along the old airport strip, many joggers hit the abandoned runway while I do my yoga as the sun rises. Most are seniors. However, every once in a while, a cute one grazes along. For its rarity, it's worth a snapshot.

Inspiring Confidence
Inspiring Confidence Inspiring Confidence

Inspiring Confidence

(September 10, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol Island, Philippines) When you read the safety protocols, it inspires confidence....until you step back and see the real picture.

Stairway to Heaven Appears from Nowhere
Glitch in the Matrix: Stairway to Heaven Appears from Nowhere

Stairway to Heaven Appears from Nowhere

(September 9, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol Island, Philippines) Glitch in the Matrix? Ha-ha, a stage staircase blends seamlessly into the airport runway.

The Show Must Go On
The Show Must Go On

The Show Must Go On

(September 8, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol Island, Philippines) After 2 months, the Sandugo Festival is over and the big stage has been dismantled and many vendors also packed up. But the big covered hangar remained and a little stage was put up for nightly live music. Most of the vendors remained. It seems that the Old Airport chillout place is here to stay.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

(September 7, 2023 Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines) Long lock of hair can feel hip and young. But cleaning the drain from hair after a shower, sweeping the floor from all that fallen hair, sleeping with wet hair, waking up with messed up hair and managing hair with head band and tie-string...it's not worth the difficulty.

Ending Thoughts
As a kid, Santa was bigger than life! It meant waking up Christmas day to find goodies in my Christmas stocking - wallnuts, almonds, M&Ms (they were still high-prized imported chocolates) and a big toy. It meant a whole ham on the dinner table. Good memories. Now, with high-tech and AI, I wonder how kids regard Christmas.

Bohol Travel Info/Tips

Bohol FYI / Tips

  • the tourist area where most of the hotels, restaurants, ticket offices, tour operators are, is located within the Alona Beach area
  • the tourist attractions in Bohol are far apart and spread-out. It would be difficult to visit them all using public mass transit. Better hire a van (P3500/day) if in a big group, or rent a motorcycle (P400/day + gas)
  • Bohol relies on its tourism for revenue. As expected, everything they can capitalize on from tourism is extensively used and developed

Tagbilaran Port to Panglao

You can charter any tricycle from the port all the way to Panglao (~P300), but if you want to do it on the cheap,
  1. don't take the tricycles lined-up inside the port. Walk past the port gate and immediately outside, you'll see many tricycles. Take one to the bus terminal in Dao (~P15)
  2. in Dao, take the jeep that plies the Panglao route (~P20)

Things to do, Places to go in Bohol

  1. Chocolate Hills - this is a clustering of more than 1200 hills within a 50km2 area. They range in height from 30-50 meters. What's unusual is their near-perfect conical shape resembling an individual chocolate chip. No one knows how they were formed. Entrance is P50/pax.
  2. Tarsier Conservation Area - located Upper Bonbon, Loboc. The tarsiers are no longer being played at by tourists as circus props, but instead, visitors now view them in cordoned-off areas in their natural 6ha habitat. As they are territorial and nocturnal, they are predictable on where they can be viewed. P50/pax.
  3. Alona Beach (Panglao) - Alona Beach is the tourist hub of Bohol. It has 1.5 kms of white sand beach lined-up by bars, hotels and restos. Alona is also the jump-off point for Balicasag Island, a world class dive destination.
  4. Danao Adventure Park - located in Barangay Magtangtang, 72 kms (2 hours ride) from Tagbilaran. Adventure activities include river trekking, tyrolean traverse, rappelling, bouldering, rock climbing and ziplining.
