Em and Intramuros – two of my favorite subjects lately. And I just discovered a way to see them simultaneously. I caught up with Em while gliding around Intramuros on a Segway. What could be more fun?! I’ve always wanted to mount and ride a Segway ever since I saw it on YouTube. Dean Kamen was […]

Is Caohagan Island in Cebu Worth a Visit?
Caohagan is one of Olango Island Group’s most popular islets. But is it worth a visit? I say skip it, if you have to pay or if you’re in Cebu for a limited number of days. If you’re paying for the trip, you’re better off going somewhere else, like Bohol. If it’s part of an island […]
Here’s Our First Look at The Pyramid Cebu’s Menu
The Pyramid is in Cebu and there isn’t a single mummy inside. See what’s in store for you. A few days after the official soft opening of The Pyramid, the newest triangular, glass-walled dining place along Eblock 3 Cebu IT Park, we decided to baptize it. And by ‘we’, I mean my workmates and I. So, what […]

The island province located off the Northern coast of Mindanao has seven volcanoes, unspoilt beaches, springs and waterfalls, as well as fresh seafoods and produce you’d wish you could eat daily. In addition […]
How We Spent Our Time in Boracay

At around 12 o’clock last night, on our way back to our lodging, gusting winds and crazy rain greeted us. The island’s station 2 was nearly deserted. I thought this was Boracay’s […]
Yushoken: A Slurp-Worthy Ramen Stop in Cebu
Someone once asked me, “what is it that you really like to do?” “Eat. Try new food. Experience exciting flavors.“ I used to pass by a fancy-looking ramen shop at Oakbridge Business Park but never bothered to stop. Yet one Sunday afternoon while we were out grocery shopping, I read the sign yet again, “Yushoken”. Neil […]
Why I Heart Cebu’s Tymad Bistro
The stars of the show in Tymad Bistro are heart-shaped. I wondered where my date’s eyes were fixed upon the moment we sat until after we ordered breakfast. He wasn’t looking at me. For a minute, I thought he was checking out a pretty lady. So I followed his gaze and discovered that he found […]
What I Love About Eating in Cebu: Abaca Baking Company
Abaca Baking Company serves homestyle breakfast (all day) as well as soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and mains. I have tried some of their dishes but there’s one that I always love to order again and again. Tada: Vegetable Chopped! Vegetable Chopped (only available from 11AM onwards) On above image, the salad mix is topped with […]
