I’m
sure we Cebuanos have all been shaken by the earthquake and wish to retreat
immediately to somewhere we can feel safer and calmer, especially when our own
homes don’t feel safe enough. I’ve been having palpitations since the incident
and still sleep in my parents’ bedroom until the aftershocks will finally stop
– and it still hasn’t. But of course, I shouldn’t be one to complain since the
Boholanos have it worse. :(
Luckily, Moevenpick
Hotel came to my rescue. A few days after the earthquake, they offered me an
overnight stay for two with breakfast along with a few of my blogger friends –
Kristine Roa and Joven Morales of thestylecebu.com,
Doyzkie and Edd Buenaviaje of iluvcebu.com,
Marco Paulo Diala of philippinestreetfashion.com
and lamikaayo.com and Mustachio! This was such a timely
blessing since it’s only been two months since my first hotel staycation
invitation at Bluewater Panglao. And
I’ve been so stressed from the semester that just ended. So, I took the
opportunity to tag along my old friend as my roomie, Jamaica of Through Jamaica’s Eyes, who also
happens to be a budding travel blogger.
She writes about her travels in Europe, Asia and the Philippines and
gives genuinely helpful tips. I strongly encourage you to visit her blog.
You’ll enjoy it! :)
