This is the second installment of my trip back in time…4 years ago, to what is referred to as the Philippines’ Queen City of the South, Cebu.  In case you missed the first part, you can find it HERE.

To continue…

We stayed at the Shangri-la Mactan Island Resort.  Too bad for hubby, because he had to work all the time, while my Mom, Abby and I spent all our time just chillin’.  Hee hee.  Times like this don’t really come by often.

Abby, as always, got royal treatment.  She got massages from her Mimi.

Most of the time, I took pics of Abby.  We covered practically every corner of our room.

While my Mom read the dailies at the balcony, Abby kept her company.

We rarely left the hotel except for meals in nearby restaurants and a trip to SM when my Mom’s friend invited us for dinner.  The hotel has a shuttle bus which took guests to the city.

Here are hubby and Abby at the hotel lobby.

The hotel had an enormous Christmas tree at the lobby.  We took a couple of pictures here, of course!  Hahaha. 

Nope, I didn’t get a massage.  :)  I did want to get one, but Abby and I are practically stuck with each other.

We didn’t do any swimmig, too.  Hee hee.  I know what you’re thinking….”What a waste!”.  Not really.  For once, we were able to enjoy staying in a hotel.  The breeze, fresh air and the view were just glorious.  No need to swim really.  Haha.

Everyday, we soaked in the view of the white sands, the sound of the waves, and just about everything that’s missing in Manila.

There’s nothing wrong with the camera. :)  While we were taking pictures at the hotel grounds, dark clouds caught up with us and it started to drizzle.

This is us on the flight home.  For almost three years, this blue nursing bib, which I alternated with a red one, was a constant part of my wardrobe.  Anytime, anywhere, I’m ready to nurse.

We didn’t really get to see much of Cebu during that trip, but we had fun just the same.  Besides, we really chose to make the most out of our hotel stay, which wasn’t exactly cheap anyway.

Where should I take you next?  Hmmm.

   uy bakit parang iisa lang ang posing niyo ni abby, hehe. yan ba ang good angle niyo?

   its been a while since i had a massage, too. kung kelan naman kailangan talaga natin dahil sa pagpapagod sa trabahong pambahay, tsaka naman few and faw between ang spa opportunities. di bale, palakihin pa natin ng konti ang mga hijas natin at soon may kasama na tayo sa pagpapa-spa, hehe.

   Hi Meeya! Ewan ko ba kung bakit nga nagkapare-pareho ang pose namin. Kahit anong angle, maganda kami. Hahaha! Naku, hihintayin pa ba nating samahan tayo ni Abby at Ninna sa spa? Parang matatagalan pa talaga ang pinakamimithing massage.
