For those who want to read from the start, check the followingSiquijor travelogues I’ve already posted.

It’s always been a fantasy of mine to visit Siquijor and experience for myself how creepy and mystical the island really is with all its local witches, healers and supernatural stories. I thought I was going to chicken out when I told my friends about it a week before we were slated to go. All of them were giving us warnings of all sorts. They told us not to buy and eat food from any of their public vendors for this would make us sick which will make us go to their local healers for relief and who knows what kinds of healing they will do to us?! They told us not to look at anyone in the eye because this will allow them to have hypnotic power over us. They also said that if someone pats or touches us we should pat or touch them in return to counter whatever bad vibes they may be casting on us. Basically they were just very worried and they wanted us to be very careful and cautious. Let me tell you, all their advice did freak me out a bit and I was already thinking of getting refunds for our Cebu Pacific tickets. However, on the day before our departure, I made up my mind to just get it over with. I’ve already cast all my protection spells and I believe with Peter’s horde, we will be protected from all the bad elements and spirits the island had to offer.
I wonder what Siquijor has in store for us…
Is this gloomy weather a foreboding of some sort…?
