Before heading to the said topic above, before that trip, I went to Iloilo to process my registration as a nurse.. as usual--unorganized processing in the office, luckily i finished my negotiation there early...but went for the 2nd to the last trip (3:15PM) going home since i did wait for my friends to finish processing their forms... while waiting for their numbers, we decided to go to chill out in their mall... then encountered this 3D-4D experience ride game, since i heard/watched in the tv.. so we tried it up... awesome.. they have this virtual ride... our first time... SOOO COOL!! there this theme we chose, Paradise something, first we chose for horror theme.. but then changed it.... 3 of us got scared!!! hehehe.... it was a good experience though!!!
 |
| me, with the list of the themes we need to choose... we ended up, the #1 ride... PARADISE COASTER.. LOL! |
we had lunch at KFC, then went to each stores to kill the time... went to bookstore as usual.. find my fave book.. gosh, no budget.. so all i have to do is to look at it.. :(( Witches at East End, going to get u soon..... oh well, went back to the office to continue processing the forms of my friends, waiting for hours, I decided to go to church, just near the office... the church i went to pray on during my examination.. i went back there to say some thank you prayer.....
after the processing, went home feeling a bit sea sick.... every object i see is moving... hehehe....
Ok, back to my blog title, GUIMARAS TRIP.... My Guimaras trip started after i went to Iloillo, the day after that... Went back to Iloilo again with my Uncle and Aunt this time for the trip... when you want to go to Guimaras you must board into Iloilo port, then u will ride back again into a small boat going to Guimaras... Guimaras is a small island between Negros Province and Iloilo City, i think.....kk^^

| going to Guimaras.. actually i have a vid of it, but ended up deleted.. :((( |
 |
| we ride on boats like that.... this is a pic of going back to Iloilo port |
Guimaras, i only knew a little about this island.... I knew that this place produced a lot of Mangoes.... i mean a lot... every side of the road, you can see mango trees plantion and the school and hospitals ar painted in the colors of mangoes.. how cool is that....
To tell u honestly, never expected that we will be having an island/city tour there.. all i knew, my uncle will be going there checking some land for sale or visit some beaches.... we arrived there and i was like, we have a courtesy call from the mayor of that certain city?? i was shocked! a car borrowed from the mayor and a tour guide??? whoah.. hold up..... i was like REALLY? is this happening? hahahaha... never knew that the Mayor is a friend or relative of the co-worker of my uncle in Canada... so yeah, i got to see and shake his hands.. kk^^
start touring, first we went to BUENIVISTA GALLEONS, making of miniature of the boats
next stop, GUIMARAS SOUVENIR Store near the MUSEO DE GUIMARAS... bought some keychains, and small rosary.... ^^ we headed to the museum after.. :)
after the museum, we went to this Monastery... Guimaras is a bit a religious island.. i mean there's a lot of religious stuffs happened in this island... it is also a nice destination spot during Holy Week...
So we went to OLP TRAPPIST MONASTERY, went to their souvenir store and it is run by monks... bought some bday stone rosary.... Ruby for July Birthstone.. :)
our next destination is the resort and beaches.... we went to lot of cities.. we just passed by along the road... indeed, a lot of plantation of Mangoes.... we reached to RAYMEN BEACH/ISLAND RESORT... we went there for some refreshment.. ordered icecream... hehehe... then got to see the view of the beach.... we supposedly be staying there overnight but since its crowded with students, maybe because of field trip, we decided not to.. and oh, there are a lot of Koreans there too... no hot dude.. sad case.. hehehe..
on our next destination we went again to the beach.... we are looking for good beaches in that island and also its Lunch time... we went to TELAPA GADING BEACH RESORT, had lunch there too...
next, we went to Mayor's land.... and there again we meet the Mayor,he and my Uncle chat for like an hour or more....so as for me picture time.. :)
