It’s been three days since we got back from [tag]Bohol[/tag] and I’m still recovering from my vacation. How ironic. The things that happened when I got home was just too stressful and I still couldn’t shake it off. Hopefully, I’ll be back in good working condition by Monday.
Something good came in the mail the day after I got back which cheered me up a bit, and I was able to use my computer again without having to take it (and paying lots of money) to the repair shop.
On a lighter note, I was able to stay under my [tag]budget[/tag] for this trip yay. Unfortunately, with the loss of my MP3 player and some cash, that still brings me over my budget. But what the heck, I’m just glad I was able to come home in with all pieces in tact.
A detailed breakdown of my Bohol budget right after the jump.

CHEAP…!!! I like! I like!
Question: what’s a wild lechon chase? Also, what happened to your MP3? Did someone lift it?
Well, we *had* to bring home some Cebu lechon so from the pier, we went to the airport for early check-in. Unfortunately, the computers were down and they won’t allow us to check in early. They let us leave our bags behind the counter, and we rushed back out to buy lechon (40 minutes away from the airport). When we got to the restaurant, they don’t have enough for our order
Thankfully, they have a stall in the mall across the street. It’s a good thing they had enough for our order and after getting our lechon, we rushed back to the airport, where there wasn’t any line because the computer were back online.
The clincher was, the place where we got the lechon was near the ferry port and we passed by it on the way to the airport. Doh.
About the MP3… it was taken from inside my bag. I’ll e-mail you about it.
