honey's mom and sister arrived here in cebu yesterday for a vacation. we have all been waiting for their arrival since we will be coming along with them to bohol this weekend... yipee! at last i'll be able to see the chocolate hills, tarsier, and panglao!
they went to casa verde yesterday to pig-out. i didn't go with them since i was so tired and sleepy. but this morning we went to taoist temple. hehe, it took us 5 months before we were able to visit the place.
the place is really nice. as usual, all we did was take pictures on the different scenic area. pictures with the dragons, the miniature great wall of china (cebu version!), statues, etc. pat and i strolled seperately at first, then we saw mona and the rest praying to lao tzu. immediately we followed. we lit the incense, prayed, and asked questions using the half-moon stones. but unfortunately, there was supposed to be a process to follow in order to ask your questions like washing your hands as the first step which i wasn't able to do. it was a little embarassing, but it didn't stop me from doing the ritual all over again. i asked a lot of questions and wasn't satisfied with the answers. i was actually wanting a different answer. nevertheless, it was a great experience. i don't really expect those to come true though if in any case it will come into reality i think i will be able to accept.
i'm not quite sure if i'll be able to return to the place. but given the chance to visit it again, i hope to have proven at least one of lao tzu's answers... whether he is right or wrong...
