restful sunday

2018.09.23 – 暇 – Restful Sunday

I did not do anything the entire Sunday, other than just rest. I originally planned to go to Dalaguete but I changed my mind when my younger sister told me she isn’t going. Since I was still so tired from all of the activities and night outs the past few days, I decided to just […]

college mini-reunion

2018.09.22 – 友達 – College Mini-Reunion

So, Saturday was the day we hang-out (without the babies), just like we used to back in college! It was a college mini-reunion, from dinner to karaoke/drinks, to coffee after. Ramen at Ikkousha But first, I went out with my sister and Joyce for lunch. They told me they wanted to try Cebu’s best ramen, […]

2018.09.20 – 木曜日 – Manggahan / Recharge

This is actually a continuation of the previous post but since this technically happened on a Thursday already, I decided to separate it! Manggahan Our second (and last stop) for the night/early morning was Manggahan in Lahug. They were actually already closing when we got there, but they allowed us to order and stay as […]

Photo Gallery: Lugsangan Peak (July 2018)

Last July, my friends and I had a surprise mountain trek at Lugsangan Peak in Mantalongon, Dalaguete, Cebu. Our original plan was to go to Osmeña Peak, which is Cebu’s highest elevation. But, my sister told us about another peak she claimed to be better than Osmeña Peak – Lugsangan (or previously known as Casino) […]

Why you should (DEFINITELY) watch Gugmang Giatay!

Last Sunday, I watched the Cebuano/Bisaya musical play Gugmang Giatay as they performed their first stage in Manila. I first saw this play a year ago in Cebu, and I loved it then. After seeing it for the second time, I loved it more. Here’s why you should catch Gugmang Giatay at the BGC Arts […]

Zubuchon Makati

This episode of No Reservations put Zubuchon on the map not just in Cebu, but in the entire Philippines as Anthony Bourdain dubbed it “The Best Pig Ever”. Cebu is home to the best lechon (roasted pig) in the Philippines. And competition is tough. I’m just happy that Zubuchon finally put up a branch in my […]

Cebu’s Parthenon: Temple of Leah

Looking for the next tourist attraction in Cebu? This “Greek/Roman” temple sitting atop Busay is not yet fully complete, but a lot of people are already visiting for its “instagrammability” and that overlooking view of the Queen City. This temple is a man’s tribute to his late wife, very much similar to how India’s Taj Mahal […]

#Vispop 2.0

I am not a music man, in the sense that I don’t really create my own music – but I am a music man, in the sense that I feel incomplete without it. I can’t imagine life without music. And because I love music so much, I listen to all types of music, from all genres, and […]

Oslob’s Gentle Giants

It was just a few years ago when these gentle giants were spotted near the shores of Oslob, Cebu. Back then, you had to visit Donsol in Sorsogon to see the whale sharks and swim with them. Locally called as Butanding, these whale sharks feed on uyop (baby shrimp or something that looks like it) and […]
