Happy weekend! Definitely the perfect time to go on a roadtrip. (SWIPE LEFT) I always make sure to have a pack of Gardenia with me so I have something to munch on while on the road. Gardenia is our family’s choice because it’s fresh and LAMI bisan walay palaman!!⁣⁣

Got invited to a special preview to this new desti

Got invited to a special preview to this new destination to wine and dine before 2020 ended and I’m glad that they’re now officially open! Dine and have coffee (since Cebu City currently has a liquor ban in place) at 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚 at 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝.⁣
⁣
They are now accepting reservations through their IG: @esca.ph. ⁣
⁣
For something a bit upscale, Esca’s prices are very reasonable and quite pocket-friendly. ⁣
⁣
Esca features a compact menu of modern 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 dishes. I cannot stop raving about the 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞! It’s one of the best “kinilaw” I’ve had.⁣
⁣
The 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚 is so tender and flavorful with an almost melt-in-your-mouth consistency. ⁣
⁣
The 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐚 is a glorious twist to the usual pork chops. ⁣
⁣
Take note that the establishment is implementing health protocols for the mutual protection of the guests and the staff.⁣

Just realized that the last time I was in Bohol was four years ago! ⁣
⁣
Now is the perfect time to revisit the beautiful island province of Bohol as hotels, resorts, tourism establishments, and tour operators will be offering their products up to as much as 𝟕𝟎% 𝐎𝐅𝐅 during the first 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐤 𝐬𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥: 𝐁𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞, happening on 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟏-𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏! More details soon. ⁣

There’s a new kid on the block as 𝗪𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐛 (Korean for “Our Home”) recently opened at 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘚𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘦. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For as low as 𝐏𝟑𝟗𝟗, satisfy your cravings for 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐠𝐲𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐚𝐥, with unli side dishes, drinks and ice cream*. Great value for money. I was particularly happy with their side dish buffet as I took as much kimchi, sushi, chapchae and assorted dips at my liberty.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Upon entry, their very friendly staff gave me a very good impression. The restaurant is spacious and cozy, and despite having several diners during our visit, it did not feel too busy, noisy or stressful. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They also have private rooms for your intimate and socially-distanced celebrations. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is the second branch of Woorijib in Cebu (the first one being in Ridges Mabolo), and they’re looking to open more soon!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
See you there? Woorijib Prime is open daily from 𝟷𝟷𝘈𝘔-𝟿𝘗𝘔 at City Time Square Mandaue. Health protocols are observed. Please wear your face mask upon entry, and when getting food from the buffet.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For bookings and reservations, contact them at 09126223916, 09656349759 or visit their FB page.⁣

One of the places I’d like to revisit after this

One of the places I’d like to revisit after this pandemic is definitely Batanes. In this photo is their iconic “Blow Ur Horn” sign which serves as a warning to drivers when navigating around the terrifyingly sharp but breathtakingly beautiful curves that characterize the island’s roads. #Libotero

We just can’t have enough milk tea in the island

The hustle of the holidays and Sinulog is finally

The hustle of the holidays and Sinulog is finally over, but 𝐈𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐨 continues to be a safe space for those who wish to unwind without the crowds, jog, bike, breathe fresh sea breeze, enjoy good food, support local businesses and farm fresh produce, and bond with their pets. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I recently went on a mini “Food Crawl” at Il Corso. We started with a sandwich at 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, and also checked out their 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴. Then we had one of my favorites, 𝐁𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐙’s 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘚𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘬 𝘛𝘦𝘢. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Since we were quite stuffed, we took a break from the eating and checked out 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐄 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬 x 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬 x 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚, a pop-up store with plants and local products crafted by our Cebuano designers. We then checked out the 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 which has a variety of fresh produce from the province. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
By dusk, we capped off the day with dinner at 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐚. Glorious Cebuano food as always! ⁣Take a break, because #YouAreSafeAtILCorso⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Gentle reminders:⁣⁣⁣
1. Wearing of face mask and full face shield is required.⁣⁣⁣
2. Based on DTI, IATF, & LGU guidelines, only individuals aged 15-65 years old will be allowed entry. ⁣⁣⁣
3. Please bring your Q-Pass and/or ID for APOR.⁣⁣⁣

Happy to be back at 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐚 𝐂𝐞𝐛𝐮 almost a year since my last visit! One of my most looked-forward to “𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺𝘴” is the 𝘚𝘶𝘨𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘰𝘨 which features the best of Cebu, but because of the pandemic, they thought of putting 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐨𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.⁣⁣⁣

Until 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝟹𝟷, guests get to choose from three sets of favorite Cebuano dishes on a platter as we continue to celebrate Sinulog. Together with my brothers, we got to try portions of each set. The Kalderetang Kanding is easily our favorite, followed by the Bam-i and Sinugbang Nukos!⁣⁣⁣

Dreaming of Siargao right now. The biggest festiva

Dreaming of Siargao right now. The biggest festivals in the Visayas: Kalibo’s Ati-Atihan and Cebu’s Sinulog last Sunday, and Iloilo’s Dinagyang this weekend, may have gone virtual this year, but this is just a temporary setback for a major comeback. ⁣⁣

2020. A lot of things could be said about you. You are terrible, to say the least. But if we ask ourselves, what went right this year? ⁣
⁣
2020 taught me the real meaning of true friendship and genuine human connections. This year enlightened me with a lot of lessons, but the most important is: focus only on what matters, among them are family and a tight core of friends. We don’t need many, we just need a few real ones who we can celebrate good times with and provide support during the bad. A solid support system boosts our confidence and worth, and our well-being especially during this pandemic.⁣
⁣
While 2020 felt like a roller coaster ride, it definitely isn’t the worst year for me. I am happy that as the year comes to a close, I, my family, and friends are all still healthy and alive.⁣
⁣
To everyone I met, to those who left, to those I removed, to all of you who became part of my 2020, Thank You! You all had an impact and I will take all the learnings to 2021.⁣
⁣
The last day of the year is a celebration of collective dreams. Although we have been taken aback by the overall gloom of 2020, much of it was beyond our control and I remain hopeful that 2021 will be a much better year. ⁣
⁣
Thank you, next! HAPPY NEW YEAR, mga ka-GLORIOUS!⁣

Really got excited about this delivery: Belle’s

Really got excited about this delivery: Belle’s Refreshing Juice of Davao City is now in Cebu!⁣
⁣
Tried out their eight regular flavors and I could attest that the juices indeed are made of pure fruits and veggies and have no preservatives and additives. Some of the juices have sugar, but in very low quantities. ⁣
⁣
Since it has no preservatives, it has to be covered in ice while being transported and must be kept chilled, opened or unopened. It could last 10-15 days unopened, but must be consistently chilled or else fermentation will be unstoppable. Once opened, consume within 3-5 days.⁣
⁣
They’re available in 1 Iiter and 3.75 liter gallons. ⁣

Can you see my eyes smiling? We are seeing our COVID numbers in the Philippines significantly drop to manageable levels but it is not yet the time to put our guard down. ⁣
⁣
As we cautiously return to our old ways , proper hygiene, social distancing and mask wearing are still a must, now more than ever. I’m glad to have found a mask that is very lightweight, comfortable, breathable, reusable, and washable. And, no “mask-ne” so far!⁣
⁣
I’m sure you’ve heard of AirQueen. The ergonomic nanofilter mask is US FDA approved with a 95% filtration rate that gives me a sense of assurance that, my family and I are protected when using this product.⁣
⁣
Besides bringing in quality products for an affordable price, AirQueen Philippines understands that the Filipinos need more than one mask for everyday needs, thus giving us a discount from Php 129.00 to Php 64.00 each on orders via their Lazada and Shopee pages.⁣

I first learned about OWNDAYS when I needed an urg $I first learned about OWNDAYS when I needed an urgent glasses replacement while I was in Singapore. I was impressed with their straightforward pricing system. You only pay for the price indicated on the frame. No hidden charges regardless of the high grade for ultra thin lenses (mine’s 450!).⁣ ⁣ Owndays recently opened its 2nd branch in Cebu at the Northwing of SM City Cebu. Like other OWNDAYS stores, it is bright and spacious with all focus on the products. Here are the glasses I chose from my visit. There are over a thousand frames to choose from that will suit every personality, lifestyle and budget. Prices range from P1,990-P6,990.⁣ ⁣ Once you have chosen a frame, OWNDAYS provides in-store eye exams with licensed optometrists using the latest technology in electronic refraction for the most accurate prescription.⁣ ⁣ After the customer has decided on the style and lenses he/she wants, OWNDAYS efficiently puts together the eyeglasses in as fast as 20 minutes upon payment, which is perfect with the new normal as we want to minimize our time in public areas. They use topnotch equipment from Japan that offers faster grinding capabilities, resulting to a shorter cycle time, and a high quality finish.⁣ ⁣ With all eyes glued to our gadgets these days, proper eyewear is important to maintain good eye health. Drop by OWNDAYS SM City Cebu for all your eyewear needs. The store is strictly implementing new normal protocols for a worry-free visit. ⁣ ⁣ #OwndaysPH @owndaysph$
