Nun + Teocrine Wedding Weekend

On January 12, I embarked again for a trip to Ozamiz to see Margie and join in the festivities of Nun and Teocrine's wedding on Tuesday January 15. On Sunday January 13 we attended church in the morning and joined in celebrating the baptisms of several young people in the church at a beach in the neighboring village of Clarin. The occasion was followed by a feast on the beach.

On January 14 Margie and I took care of a few errands at the mall and in the evening went back to one of my new favorite restaurants in Ozamiz - Big J's - a unique outdoor grill which was quite popular even on a Monday evening (we even ran into the Bride, Groom, and their families there). The following morning we went jogging in a nearby park, followed by a coffee and a light early lunch at a local diner. In the afternoon we prepared for and attended Nun + Teocrine's Wedding at the United Church of Christ in Ozamiz. The wedding illustrated a beautiful image of God's Love, especially in the sharing of their vows. The wedding was followed by a reception with games and a buffet. After the reception, we spent the rest of the evening at a wine and coffee/tea bar with several of Margie's friends.

Christmas Break Part 2 - PSALM Reunion, Hoyohoy, and Ozamiz

Image
Picking up from where I left off on the first blog post, we arrived in Ozamiz City on December 27. The first PSALM reunion in several years was scheduled to be held December 28. The event was held at an oceanfront private park just north of Ozamiz. Several of the elders gave testimonies, a pledge was made to support PSALM house, and great food was enjoyed by all. After the finish of the reunion we went with several from PSALM to enjoy Christmas Lights in Tangub, a spectacular assortment of buildings and landscapes decorated for the season. To top it off there was a train which traversed the festival. The next morning, December 29, after a stop at Jollibee drive-thru for breakfast, we took an impromptu trip to Hoyohoy Adventure Park and Observation Deck in the hills in Tangub. After being finally convinced, we took to the zipline, touted as the longest zip line in all of Asia. Although it is technically two separate ziplines, it still had great views and certainly w...

New Years in Bohol

Image
On the list of places to visit in the Philippines, Bohol has been on my list for awhile. On December 31, a trip to Bohol became a reality. Bohol is famous for it's Chocolate Hills - over 1000 hills in the countryside that look somewhat out of the world due to their conical shapes. Margie and I departed by ferry the morning of December 31. With it being peak Holiday Season, and with me not booking a ferry in advance, I was at first concerned that we would not be able to find a ticket. However Margie was right as she knew we would get one, and we surely did get on one of the first ferries out. After the two hour ferry ride we arrived in Bohol and upon arriving ran into a tour company which offered a tour for the next day. With the inconvenience of getting to the Chocolate Hills on our own and with it being a reasonable price, we went ahead and booked through them. We checked into the Bed and Breakfast, a small, ten room place on a dead end street in the City of Tagbilaran. Although T...
