I went to siquijior on last friday because I heard one information that there is a "love porsion" in siquijior.
from before I knew about siquijior. criz who is my friend informed me. so i wanted to go to siquijior.
siquijior locates near dumaguete. first i had to go to dumaguete. Last thursday night I went toward Cebu port at 7:00pm.But when I arrived at the port, the thicket was already sold out.therefore I should bought the thicket by unofficial counter.
when I arrived at the port, one man asked me." where will you go sir?"
I answered."I want to go dumaguete"
the man told me "the ticket was already sold but I can buy the ticket to go to dumaguete."
I asked "how much is this?" because in this case, a price is higher than official price.
the man answered."1000p sir." usually the official ticket is 720p. it was few difference of the price. so I decided to buy the ticket.
I asked "okay, can I buy the ticket?"
the man answered" yes, sir."
I handed over the bill. then the man asked me" do you have the passport,ID card or license? we should borrow your Identification,sir"
I had my driver license but I warried about rending my license card.
so I decided to follow the man to the office.
we arrived near the office, the man asked me "please wait here,sir?" so I rent my license card and I waited.
20 minutes later, the man didn't appear yet so I I felt suspicious gradually.
then 10 minutes later, the man appired in front of me and he returned my license and gave me the thicket.I was relieved but I was caught up the trouble.
the man told me "this thicket is 1500p,sir." suddenly he raised the price of ticket. of course I protested him. finally I didn't pay the extra fee.
I entered the entrance of the port.
therefore I boarded the ferry and I immidiately slept. ordinary I choose an outside bed but that time I didn't have a choice, I had to take an inside bed. so it was very comfortable!
when I boarded the ferry, sometime I awoke up at 2 hour intervals.each time I went to the restroom.
when the ferry arrived at dumaguete, it was 5:30am. first I tried to find out the ticket counter to buy the ticket to go to siquijior.immediately I could find out it. next departure time was 5:45! so I should be harried up.
I bought the thicket in a hurry and boarded the ferry for going to siquijior.
the ferry departured 10 minutes later after i boarded.
when I board the ferry, a lot of dolphine crossed under the ferry. it was amazing experience!
one hour later, I arrived at siquijior.the temperature was hot but not humid. the sea was clean. I felt that I am grad I came here.

then I roamed around the port and I could find out the church.this is the Saint Francis De Assisi Church. I took some photos and entered the church.
there were a few people..maybe believer. they casted something.I sat down and listened few a while.
10minutes later I exited outside and started roaming around again.(incidentally there was the old bell tower. it was formal high.)
next I found out the siquijior public market. I love a market because I can find out a lot of local foods,vegetables,fishes and something else.especially I like to observe fishes because A climate of the land appears in the fish.

first I dived into the pond of falls.so cool,clean and enjoyable!
next I slid down the rock slide into the waterfalls. I was scared but I was already used to jumped into the falls because I had experience that jump down into the falls in dumaguete.
therefore I went through the cave into the falls.
after then I was tired so I needed to rest.
when I was lying on the bench near the falls,I was sleeping before long.
I returned the parning after I woke up.I paid chip for my guideman then I departured.
10minutes later I found out the San Isidro Labrador Church.I parked my mortercycle then I entered the church. it was old church. A lot of birds made their house.I felt the mysterious atmosphere from the church.

30 minutes later, I met a severe rain! I got wet but I didn't stop driving.I didn't care about it. when I weared the cap, driving became easy.
in a while rain was stopped.I thought that if I keep driving, my cloths will dry soon.
then I went to a carenderia because I had appitite. I ordered the beaf surp,pork adobo and pansit canton. the waitles brought my dishes for seaside table.
I could have a lunch eleganchy. later I greeted the waitles and I returned my hotel because I felt tired.
I slept for two hours.Sunset was coming. my cloths was already dry so I departured. I decided to go to far place because I should return my mortercycle until next day.
I kept driving to somewhere because I didn't dicide next destination. 30 minutes later I found out the another city "Larena".
I parked my mortercycle and roamed around there.
therefore I returned near the siquijior port because I wanted to ride the seaside at night.

I dicided to go to the church later.
then I went to BBQ restaurant near the seaside. this restaurant was outside. I ordered some dishes.

after I finished eating, I departured to the church.when I arrived at the church, the crowds already arrived and they were in the row.
first I observed them, so one women gave me the maffine and orange tea!
I wanted to join the row so I was in the row.
A singer sung the song, people smiled so I was very happy!

when I went through the Saint Francis De Assisi church,I heared a song. I intentionally concerned and entered the church. then the funeral was held.I remembered people laughing.
after that I arrived at the port and I boarded the ferry.I could sit down the room with air condition.
while I took the ferry, I wrote this blog. I remembered from begining of this trip.at the same time, I wondered that what do I do in dumaguete.
I immediately bought the ticket for returning to cebu city after I arrived at dumaguete.
first I decided to go to the dumaguete public market but I lost my way.
I kept walking for 20 minutes, eventually I found out the market.
I had apitite, so I bought a banana cue(fried banana) beside the market.it was my first time to eat.so yammy....
next I went into the market.it was crowded as usual.I took a lot of pictures. it was enjoyable for me. that day, I first found a sea bream in the Philippines.It was a very splendid sea bream!
while I explored around the market,I ate some foods.
after a short time, it started rain. so I went to the Dumaguete Cathedral Church. I waited to stop rain in a while but the rain didn't stop.so I went to jolibee and waited to stop the rain.
20 minutes later I departured to go to somewhere. Tentatively I walked toward the north for 2 hours.
I found out the Market(I cannot post pictures for a reason).It looked good because I could feel "local"!
I entered and took some pictures of redhourse beer on the table.then a drunker asked me "why did you take a picture?". I thought that the man is angry because I didn't get permission to take a picture.but it was misunderstanding.
I was surrounded by some drunker and they stuck around me. I tried to solve this problem."I immediately delete some pictures!"
then they told me "actually the government prohibit to drink a beer outside. I didn't know but they actually explained me.
I told them " I don't post some pictures on internet. this is my private."
so they understood and gave me a cup of beer.I left the place as if to flee.
I kept walking after I exited that market.I stopped by the carenderia. and ate some dish.eventually I could eat some Humba!
I already came far place so I decided to return for the dumaguete public market.
I walked for a while and arrived at the market. there were difference fishes in the market.then I exited the market and kept roaming around there.
After that I had a dinner and boarded the ferry,,,,
I cannot go back Dumaguete again for a while because after 2 weeks later I exit Philepines.
I realized that I really like Dumaguete.
I like the atmosphere of Dumaguete.
Someday I want to go back to Dumaguete again.
