Cebu, too

Taken on the beach of Malapascua one late afternoon. The tree was still alive but it had me wondering where all its leaves had gone.

View from Shangri-La's lobby lounge. The resort has two huge, lovely swimming pools, a decent beach, and impeccable landscaping. Their gardeners must have neon green thumbs to maintain such lush and healthy plants.

Travel buddies Bebert, Clint, and Leah. Arjohn, Kay, and their friends stayed on at Malapascua while the four of us left earlier to spend a night in Cebu City. A night and a day of seriously loading up on cholesterol, thanks to Sunburst's crispy chicken skin, and CNT Cebu lechon. As if those weren't enough, we bought chicharon for pasalubong. Chicharon na may laman. Not the airy, boring ones.

We couldn't see the sunset at Malapascua but when the sun bade farewell, the sky turned pink, orange, and yellow. All that pink reminded me of cotton candy.
