Cebu Bai!

I had fun touring around Cebu on my 3rd day here. Today, Mich's family took us to an ancentral house circa 1700's, firing range, the Mactan Shrine, and Ayala Center Cebu. At the end of the day we ate at a thai resto which serves delicious food and of course I had to visit some thrift shops before retiring for the night. Here's how it went in photos (warning: major photo dump, lol)...

Anyway, we were finally able to go inside the old ancestral house I posted yesterday! Yey! And it's breathtaking.

This house is just oozing with history. I'm obsessed. I felt like I was on opium the whole time I was there. Can't wait to visit the other house that's also like this tomorrow. Excited.

Mich's stepdad is the chief of police of Mandaue City's traffic management group. So as a treat he took us to a firing range so he could teach us how to fire a real gun. Honestly, this was the only trip I was not excited about. I was scared. I hate violence, I hate guns. But I had no choice. So...

yessss action star?

I wasn't able to fire the gun coz it was too big and heavy for me. Lol. They were worried that I won't be able to handle the recoil. They're already preparing the .38 for me for my next visit. At least I now know how to operate a gun just in case something happens. Afterwards, we headed to Mactan Shrine for lunch and some photo-op.

After Mactan we headed to Ayala to buy a dress for Mich's mom. I also bought a custom made I love Cebu shirt at Island Souvenirs! :) Mich and I ate at Siam thai resto where the food is just heavenly. 

love the interiors

Before heading home, we passed by the nearest thrift shop where I found nice stuff. I'll be selling most of them on my online store Archive Clothing. :) And so, here's my haul post for the day!
