CEBU CITY

Cebu City is the capital of Cebu Island. With somewhere between 1.0-1.4 million inhabitants it's one of the three biggest cities in The Philippines. Cebu City lies almost central in The Visayas. The Visayas is a large cluster of islands roughly sketched between Siquijor, The Romblon Islands and Samar. Cebu City is an ideal place to get your things organized and it's got transport links to other destinations in The Philippines.

The Mactan Bridge - everytime we pass here, feeling ko CEBU is waiting for me

HILTON HOTEL - i love it more than plantation bay.. The pool and the BEACH is perfect! Nice architectural design.. Good place for relaxing!

Basilica Minore del Sto. NiÑo - Amazing! i can't believe that this entire open-building church is always jam-packed >RAIN or SHINE! superb BIG! The real basilica church is just infront of it... (they can't use it for sunday's mass because it might colapse) haha

Magellan's CROSS - still at the same place.. I didn't know that it isn't the real cross, i thought it was.. The painting was marvelous!

SIMALA sibonga - The first place we went to.. I was shocked because i saw BIG mama mary.. haha They say,when you have something to ask just go here and PRAY.. Lot'sa MIRACLE happened to people who kneeled here. (it's not wrong to believe that) IT is sacred... really! -better wear proper dress when you go here!

Tambuli beach resort - a so so Resort.. I just love when we went here because we ate merienda for FREE! haha It's very hushed resort!
Magellan and Lapu-Lapu's place - is it PORT SANTIAGO? i forgot! haha I was not superb interested here.. but you shouldn't miss it..
TAOIST TEMPLE - another HOLY place.. but i hated it because the GODDESS never let me say something.. haha All i want is to go back here any time soon!

Kawasan Falls and Moalboal - im scared to swim here because i know there's a lot of the ANOTHER's but i still did! Super kaduper C-O-L-D as in like when you leave your drinks in the water and get it after 10 minutes it's like you put I-C-E on it! But be sure to hold the rope when you swim.. Many people died here.. SCARY!
Moalboal - all i can say is a BEACH. big waves. and KANTILADO that's why i really didn't swim..

Ayala Center - The everyday mall for them.. The picture is ugly.. haha Is a walking distance to everything.. From call center to GYM, to HOTEL and coffee shop, to bank and the mall. I also love SM northwing.. -I LIKE THE FRESHLY BAKED COOKIES from RUSTAN's-

The TOPS - a scenic view! As if you're in HEAVEN.. I really really LOVE it here because you can relax and reflect -LMAO! No corkage but there is an entrance fee! You should bring your jacket and camera.. I just hate going here because it's ZIGZAG!

Larsian - The well-known bbq foodcourt in Cebu! You should really eat here! The bbq and the rice wrapped in banana leaf is so delicious! BUT don't go here if you're going somewhere else after because mangangamoy USOK ka talaga and KAMAYAN ito that's why masaya.. And the funny thing here is USE A PLASTIC(provided by them) coz' you can't wash your hands after eating..NO FAUCET! so cowboy! hailavet! :)


CASA VERDE - the super jam-packed restaurant! ten thumbs up for the FOOD especially their Ribs/Steak! And Better try the GREEN-iced-TEA!
SPICE FUSION - where we ate dinner for my last night in THE CITY.. i really love the food.. Super yummy and sulit ang pera mo.. SWEAR! i would always love to eat here..

CEBU CAPITOL - The White House! haha im not telling you to go here, BUT you can't miss passing here.. It's nice at night because of the lights!


22nd ST. - A comedy bar! It's interesting coz when you enter the building it doesn't looked like a bar.. it's like nothing.. Super FUNNY,kaya nga comedy bar e.. haha BUT beware and paalala "DON'T SIT INFRONT kung ayaw mong ma-chaka" hahaha I tried their bailey's blush and it was OH-LA-LA! haha


LOFT - bar.. im pretty at home here.. hehe i love the sound system,really BOOM and BOOM! HOUSE music pa.. I also like the food and the cool thing here is,they are open as a restaurant in daytime and a BAR at night!
VUDU - another cool bar.. but the entrance fee is way too much.. haha A bar for elite people.. right? Linyahan toh that's why kapagod... but still NICE!
FORMO - i love it because COOL ang music.. When we went there,the theme was modern classic (classic songs then they made it lively like house).. But what i don't like is mga ergwang mga party people here (mga mapera). tsk! It is also a restaurant(same as LOFT) and i love it because no DOORS, white curtains lang which is nice coz the light is reflecting...



COLON - i remember walking alone here.. and making tawid ever, huhu do you know the feeling na parang mamamatay ka na sa takot? haha Colon Street, the oldest street in The Philippines. Unfortunately from personal experience I can tell you: watch your pockets and backpack! Everywhere in Cebu, you really should be careful of everything..



TABO-AN MARKET - coz the dried fish is TA-bundok ever! harhar! Diang.. For most Filipino's a true delicacy and daily food. Mostly caught and dried by local fishermen and exported to the cities. I had heard about this market before so I was prepared for the mountains of dried fish or daing that was displayed before my eyes. What I wasn't prepared for was how much we would reek of fish even hours after leaving the market with our purchases vacuum-sealed in plastic and wrapped in newspaper and packed into a box. Every fiber of my being carried the stench of the sea, my hair, my clothes and my body. Super kadiri the amoy but i was really excited to eat the daing and get some for the pasalubong. Be ready also coz mauubos pera mo dito even if grabe nang "TAWARAN".. And even if you go shower after here, NAKU.. hindi matatanggal yung amoy.. tsk! BUT CEBU wouldn't be complete without DAING!
I'M LOOKING FORWARD OF COMING BACK... TO THE CITY!

BRACE FOR IMPACT

WARNING/PAALALA: yaan nyo na akong mag TAG-LISH kasi baka wrong gramming ako u knew?! hahaha

HAVE YOU EVER THINK OF ANOTHER LIFE? ONE MORE CHANCE? HAVE YOU EXPERIENCE BEING WITH GOD AND HELL? HAVE YOU TRIED THINKING OF YOU DYING?


LIFE IS SHORT.. MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF TIME...


HUDSON RIVER PLANE CRASH (AMAZING TALES OF SURVIVAL)
I was shocked when i first saw the video of the plane floating because it's too cool to be true.. haha Kung ako nandun,naku..mamamatay ako sa takot!



The pilot was calm and very intelligent, HE is indeed a HERO!


FROM PEOPLE MAGAZINE:


"When he speaks, you listen" says Joe Green (pilot chesley friend)


After his engines shut down,hero pilot CHESLEY SULLENBERGER III miraculously landed his crippled jet on the frigid Hudson River in New York City, saving the lives of all 155 aboard.


HERE ARE THEIR STORIES:

DAVA SANDERSON - The pilot said "BRACE FOR IMPACT". He wasn't yelling. It was a command. He was in control.


ARMY CAPTAIN ANDREW GRAY - I turned to my fiancee and kissed her and told her I loved her. And we started to pray that we would be able to get out of it alive. You could hear the murmurs of people saying their last rites. Some people were making phone calls or texting. Nobody was screaming. In fact, the plane was eerily quiet.


JOE HART - What goes through your head is almost like in the movies:
"OH MY GOD,are my kids going to be okay? Did i pay the insurance bill this month? Then i got my wits about me. I thought. "I had a good life. There's nothing i can do about it."


BARRY LEONARD - When the plane hit the water it was such a jolt. I honestly don't know how it held together. I took off my seat belt and the first thing i did was remember that scene from

GHOST -- when Patrick runs away and comes back and sees himself dead-- and I kind of looked back to make sure that wasn't the case. I know that sounds weird, but you don't know what's happened here.


GRAY - I think people were in shock that they were still alive.


SANDERSON - It was controlled chaos.
"While flight attendants were yelling for passengers to leave their belongings and get off the plane, one woman was trying to get her purse and suitcase. Another gentleman and myself were at an exit door and kept yelling at her to get off the plane. The other guy was screaming, "GET ON THE LIFEBOAT" She wouldn't listen; she had to have her purse and her bag. We got her on the wing and she slipped and her suitcase and purse went in the river. I grabbed her purse and threw it in the lifeboat.


SHANKO - My wife and i are expecting our first child in the spring. I would love to meet the pilot and shake his hand and thank him that i still have the chance to see my baby.
"I TOLD THE PILOT, "you save my life" He just said "YOU'RE WELCOME"...

"LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST" and BE HAPPY!

make LOVE not WAR


NAUNSA KA?
you are so nonsense!
pampasikip ka lang sa UTAK ko actually..
Whatever you think, whatever you feel, I know it's your problem and not mine.
Taking things personally is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about "ME" or i should say "YOU"..
Nothing other people do is because of YOU..
"not everything is about YOU for your INFORMATION"
ayon sa THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
When you take things personally, then you get offended, and your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflicts. You make something big out of something so little, because you want to be right and make everybody else wrong.
so whats the POINT?
you better be enjoying the GOOD life DEAR..
The dream of second ATTENTION... pasabta kuh nimu please!
It's not just weird meat in a can...it's also annoying behavior!
DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE GOOD AT EVERYTHING?
STOP ACTING AS IF YOU'RE INNOCENT coz it's FUNNY...so much!
FIRST THINGS FIRST..
I DON'T CARE AND I DON'T CARE!
GO and MULTIPLY your goodness..

"this is reality, that is fantasy; this is possible, YOU ARE impossible.."
mean na kung mean.. this is HOW i express... so don't think that i am so BITCHY coz this is just a B-L-O-G! DON'T TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY -my advice bow..
