A very rare time my girls get to be together, and off to Bohol they flew this morning, to see the world's littlest primate - the tarsier.
But first they have to roll on the beach and then sing An Innocent Warrior, from Disney's Moana, our favorite. Can't share the video though. Sorry.
This means, I will be all to my lonesome a few days. A mother's break, too

Yes, the tarsier was deciding factor when they were planning for a vacation destination. My younger daughter has been fascinated by the tiny tarsier since she learned about it in grade school. The tarsier can only be found in Bohol. It cannot be taken away from its habitat, else it will die.
Thanks, the girls are my copycats. Ha ha.

@LadyDuck Tarsier is an endangered specie. Can't be moved from Bohol habitat.
Received message from the girls. Some Chinese are polluting the islands and the beach. One threw a plastic bottle on the waters. My elder daughter retrieved the bottle to dispose it properly. Then she discovered tiny crabs trapped inside. Grrr.

@eileenleyva Poor little animal, I hope no one will try to move them from their native place. I am sure your girls are loving their trip.

@Nakitakona Today, I have decided not even to get our, not even to my gate. Will stay indoors all day. Wow. Paninindigan ang katamaran. How do we translate that?

Four days and nights in the Visayas. That;s in the middle of our archipelago.
Yes, I am enjoying my break time, too. Thank you.

@Sreekala My daughter called to tell me that there are many Chinese in Bohol, and that these Chinese are arrogant, condescending the natives and disrespecting the natural resources. Hu hu.
After my daughter reported the misbehavior to the authorities, my girls proceeded with their activities. Musing by the beach, the elder couldn't help but feel sad for the motherland,

Yup. These cute creatures are so sensitive that taking pictures require permission from the caretakers.

The nocturnal creatures are always asleep when visitors come. They can't be disturbed or they might die.

@eileenleyva maybe it's their strategy so they won't get touch.

@Letranknight2015 They can't be touched. They will die. Even the human voice is threatening to these tiny primates.
