There were a couple of people panning for gold, bathing and washing clothes by the river.
What a view!
Lunch tiiiime
Rice plantation alongside their fishery
He got 3 fishies and I got only one. We threw them back in the water, btw. HAHA! But poor fishies got booboos on their mouths now :(
Grapefruit!
My friend Steven invited me over for lunch at their farm in Busay last Friday.
What a beautiful place! I love Cebu! It only takes 45 minutes to an hour to go from the city to the mountains OR the beach. Paradise.
And now my calves hurt like hell because of the workout PLUS two weeks of wearing heels all around Cebu :) That and crouching so much during random shoots with friends. I think I'm the first girl in our batch who's visited this place. It takes a lot of balance, I tell you!
my "assitant" for the day: David Cua (thank you!!!)

Taken around Cebu Business Park (Park Tower + Chinabank-- yes, that's where we were able to score the reflective windows for our backdrop.)
Man, running around in heels and short skirts in the sweltering heat is something common during my photo shoots. As much as I'd want to NOT let passersby get a glimpse of my undies, I just can't stand wearing jeans at this time of the year. Had to wear jeans last Sunday for the first time in two months, and it felt odd. And oh, this was the 3rd time I wore heels while taking pictures. HAHA! I'm getting used to it! Last Saturday they named me the most poised photographer and followed some of the freakin' poses I unintentionally did while photographing them! FUUNNNYYYY. :)
We kept crossing wide roads in heels and skirts but it was okay since the traffic around the area wasn't too heavy. Just had to wait for jeeps and cars to clear out since their reflections would always be in the frame/mirrors. Here's to low-budget photo shoots!
Sometimes I wish I was pesco-vegetarian (instead of being strictly vegetarian)
Mum prepared some snacks for our guests at home...
Cebu has the best mangoes. No lie.
Bibingka
At Alavar's...
They serve this special rice (plain rice topped with Alavar's sauce)
Crispy Pata!
The only thing I could eat at that place... Surprisingly it was good! (Not much vegetarian restos around here)
What I wore til late afternoon:
This is what I wore while doing a photoshoot with a couple of my friends as the models. Imagine 3 girls in skirts running around Cebu Business Park, under the heat of the sun, crossing wide roads, with a lot of cars passing by. We were all sweating like hell but thankfully we were still poised throughout the entire afternoon. Cold showers are life savers. Seriously.
