Hello Alphabet Hunters!
I am now joining in the Alphabet Hunt Challenge initiated by 
And yes, it's a bit late for me, but still, better late than never. Right?
So these are what I've hunted for this week's challenge.
VERANDA
This photo was taken during my Sohoton travel with my previous colleagues. The project was about to end, and we decided to have a 3-day get-together after the 2-day conference in Butuan City. We stayed in Island Paradise Resort, and it was the most relaxing resort so far. The cottage has a veranda where we can see the islets covered with trees and when we look down, we can see the emerald green water. From the veranda, some of us jumped straight into the water.
VOWELS
Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are letters from the alphabet that taught to us when we are starting to learn how to read. We are four siblings, and our mother taught us the sounds of the vowels then leveled up to combining the vowels with consonants.
At first, I got the idea of writing the vowels on my bullet journal and then picture it. Later on, I realized that it is not considered as hunting since I wrote it in the first place. Luckily, the keyboard saves me from it.
VOLLEYBALL
Another photo with my previous colleague. We had a 3-day team-building activity at Siquijor and stayed at Tori's Paradise Resort. On our first day, the boys decided to have some fun by playing Volleyball while waiting for the food. It was low tide at that time, and there was already a net installed at the shore.
VALENTINE
It's not Valentine's Day yet. But for the letter hunt, I decided to include Valentine. This man has been my valentine for a decade already. We took the same course, BSECE, and became classmates from third-year college. Our course is divided into two sections. He was from Block 98 while I was from Block 100. We became friends during freshmen when we both joined cheerleading during the university annual Palakasan Month. It's like a Foundation Month of our school where students from different colleges and schools compete in Literary, Cultural, Sports, and other events. When we graduated, we applied to a project in the university funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). We are colleagues for more than three years already.
VARIETY
The buffet restaurant offers a variety of food you can choose. Before I went here to Cebu City to venture (another letter hunt) on another journey, my colleagues used to go and dine in some of the buffet restaurants. Usually, we would travel to Cagayan de Oro City for 2 hours and dine in Yakimix. I was overwhelmed with the variety of food that I don't know where to start. The photo above is just one-eighth of the food available in the said restaurant.
Before COVID happened, my housemates and I went a couple of times to an Eat-All-You-Can Korean restaurant. It's not the same with Yakimix, but there were a variety of Korean side dishes I can choose. And it was really delicious.
VINTA
On the first project that I've worked with, it consists of 16 HEIs (Higher Education Institution), and one of them was the Ateneo de Zamboanga. The year-end conference was held in Zamboanga City, and the last two days, we had a city tour and island hopping in Pink Island, Sta. Cruz, and Malamawi Island in Tawi-Tawi. That's when I saw the beautiful and vibrant Vinta after more than a decade.
Vinta is a traditional colorful boat used for fishing by the people living in some areas of Zamboanga and Sulu, Philippines.
And that's it for the letter V hunt challenge. There are four letters left to hunt and hopefully, I'll be able to hunt six per letter.
