     Hello all the way from the Queen City of the South! If you want to dive deep into history and immerse in diverse culture, Cebu is the place to be. It is home to Basilica del Sto. Niño (also known as Sto. Niño Church), the oldest chuch in the Philippines and dates back to 1565. Nature lover? Head down south to Oslob, you can see and swim with the majestic whaleshark ( Butanding ). Go on an exciting canyoneering adventure in Badian then trek and jump into Kawasan Falls. Drop by Malapascua or Bantayan, bask under the sun and witness the arresting and picturesque view.       It all sounds so wonderful, right? But what else should you really know before coming here? To save yourself from the unwanted hassle, read on. Here are some tips from a person who has lived here for 26 years (and counting)! 1. Cebu city has been booming. More buildings, more people and therefore, more cars. We rank number one in the worst places to drive in list, accor...

Hello I'm back! It's been forever, right? I'm still working on the Hanoi post (for five months??lol)  ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ  and while I'm on that, I just want to share this lovely new cafe that made rounds online a early this year. Only about two weeks ago did we decide to try it out! In the outskirts of Cebu City lies this humble cafe. Crate Cafe. As you know, a lot of cute artsy coffee shops have been sprouting here and there. I've noticed they more or less have similar themes. Big teddy bears, double deck beds, pink and baby blue walls and the like. Personally, I don't want that kind of atmosphere. I prefer one that's like breath of fresh air, new and interesting! So, thank God for this! It's not that far from Lahug. It'll probably take you around 10 minutes to get to this place. It might be a little bit of a struggle if you don't have your own means of transpo. But cabs and motorcycles can get you here minus the stress. No worries! ...

Hello folks! Long time no...write. Heehee! When you juggle so may things it's hard to let your imagination tick. Now let's all get back to the main point of this super late post. I'm just going to make this short and quick! Barako Haus. Location: Maria Cristina Ext.. , Cebu City Open from 7:00 a.m - 12:00 mn Wi-Fi: available Landmark: Beside Baseline Residences and next to a salon near Sacred Heart School- Hijas de Jesus I had been eyeing this cafe countless times. Everytime I passed by (it's just a five minute walk from my place), it always aroused my caffeine curiosity.

     In a municipality with a population of 28,000 ++, of course you'd already think that this place must have some private getaway where you can LITERALLY get away from killer stress. You got that right, dears! Catmon is a place you have to drop by when you come to beautiful Cebu. It's about two to three hours away from the city proper, by car, that is. It's situated in the Northern part of Cebu. Personally, I prefer the north to the south because I think that the south is just too rowdy. They have better and more pristine beaches than the north, but there's just too many people that it feels like you haven't escaped the bustle the city already provides us too much of. The road to Catmon made me take a quick walk along memory lane, back when my family and I were on a road trip from Ilo-ilo to Boracay. Lateral to the road is the magnificent view of the sea and it seemed endless. It gave me a sense of peace just looking at it. No city turmoil, no smelly garbage, no ...

     The crisp and fresh wind blew across our faces on October 2nd 2012. I can still vividly recall  the eye-opening and serene nature of Camotes Island. So, with heavy and bulky backpacks on, skipping heart beats and our ever so trusty helmets, we hopped on to the motorcycle and drove up North to Danao. We stopped over this small-scale restaurant just along the street. With grumbling stomachs, we checked out the catch of the day! Unlike the blood shot eyed fishes we normally come to see in supermarkets, the ones in Danao have clear eyes and such conspicuous sea water smell that even the word fresh would be considered an understatement.  As soon as the fish was taken fresh off the grill and served on the table, we excitedly ripped open our puso (hanging rice) and tore through the fishes' hot , white flesh with our plastic covered hands. What a satisfying and almost sweet P180-peso meal. Immediately after eating, we rushed to Danao port only to find out that...
