I found my dream house! (although I must hasten to add it keeps on changing all the time) Anyway, I found this photo of a retired Boeing 727 converted into a hotel, nestled deep in a Costa Rican national park.
This plane will do well in my wife's hometown of Alicia. There is an elevated area there that can be seen from afar, which I imagine have great views of the sea and the town. Many people will be awed at the site of a plane protruding from a cliff! And how about from the cliffs in Dauis!

Chocolate Hills Among Geological Wonders You Didn't Know
Photo: www.oddee.com
I recently came across an article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer about a Negros ruins as among the world's most fascinating ruins that was featured in a blog. Oddee is a blog on oddities: the odd, bizarre and strange things of our world, and claims to have over 2.5 million visitors a month.
Naturally, I checked out the blog and its post on the Negros ruins. Out of curiosity, I searched the blog for any entry on Bohol. Lo and behold! Our very own Chocolate Hills was featured as among the world's geological wonders you didn't know.

Ang Pambansang T-shirt - Visit Bohol
In addition to Tarsier shirt, I found another Bohol shirt that I like, while doing a Google search again. The shirt maker is Team Manila and this t-shirt is from its Ang Pambansang T-shirt range.
The Visit Bohol t-shirt's main design is that of the iconic Chocolate Hills, done in sepia tone that seems to evoke nostalgia to the wearer. When you click on this link to view the shirt, you will not be directed to it right away. Instead, look for the right box that says EXPLORE THE ISLANDS and click THE COLLECTIONS to view this shirt design together with a host of other designs.
This shirt is going to be one of my must-haves when I go home. It's just a shame that I can't seem to buy it online nor can I buy it in or near Bohol e.g. Cebu, perhaps. At the moment, you can only buy this in the malls of Metro Manila. Maybe this will change next year before we go home.

Bohol Island Tourism Video
Check this out! A beautifully made video promoting Bohol island's tourist attractions. I came across this just recently in Facebook while browsing a friend's profile.
The videomaker, Ted Ramasola, was two years my senior in high school at the then Divine Word College (now Holy Name University). If the family name sounded very familiar it is because he is the son of Ric Ramasola of the very famous Ramasola Art Studio.
After viewing this video, I won't be surprised if you will book your next holiday to my beloved Bohol, an island gem in the Philippines.
