We went to MCD Auto Zone to help us in detailing and re-carpeting our 2nd hand vehicle. We recently bought a surplus-type, Suzuki Alto, which cost really cheap for a car. It didn’t really matter to me that our car is outdated compared to newer vehicles that’s out in the market. What mattered most was that we have a car that’s in good running condition and that could take us from A to B. Another concern of mine was the gasoline consumption. Our car has a 660cc engine which meant that it’s very economical in terms of fuel, though it’s not really the type of vehicle you want to get stuck with during heavy rain, but indeed it’s practical if you’re that concerned about your expenses.
How to Look for A House for Sale in Cebu
There’s definitely a lot of ways to look for houses in Cebu. If you’re like me, who didn’t have any inkling about real estate in Cebu then I hope this guide will help you out in your quest for your dream home. First and foremost you need to ask yourself if you’re ready to buy your own home. It may seem easy but you need to expect that there will be expenses and some even quite expensive depending on the type of house you choose. These expenses include reservation fees which may cost around 5,000PHP to 30,000PHP and most of the time the equity. There are some houses here in Cebu, however, that don’t require you to pay equity. These are specifically row houses which typically have 2 bedrooms but the bad news is that most of the time they are not complete. So, you are likely to spend for room partitioning, interior painting, and other finishing touches. The costs of these homes are around 500,000PHP to 1,400,000PHP. This is one option that’s best for those who want to design their own home or who are looking for that perfect dream house look.
Top Moalboal Beaches and Resorts
Back in May 1, 2010, our old Quality team traveled towards the southwestern corners of Cebu en route Moalboal beach or Moalboal resort. Moalboal is a third class municipality in the province of Cebu, located 89 kilometers from Cebu City. It is sited between the towns of Alcantara and Badian.
Tourism in Moalboal was developed since the 1970s. Recently, its White Beach now hosts several resorts ideal to locals and tourists. The place is also known for its amazing diving spots namely Pescador Island and prosperous underwater existence.
Pescador Island is an island situated in Tanon Strait just a few kilometers west of Cebu, Philippines. This island is administered by the municipality of Moalboal. Surrounding waters of the island are believed to be severely deep. It is celebrated for its humid temperatures and prosperous underwater biodiversity. The waters is said to contain just about 70% of the country’s known species of fish. Divers are expected to observe around 2,500 fish species in its waters while there are still a significant number of fishes unknown.
Make Your Own Havaianas Wholesale and Gelatissimo Treats
Last Saturday, we dropped by one of our favorite shopping malls, the SM City Cebu, and we came across the Make Your Own Havaianas 2010 and was instantly considering buying our personalized wholesale Havaianas or in bulk. However, as quickly as the idea came, I was quick to change my mind, as well, knowing that I have more than enough flip flops at home. If you don’t know where to buy your dream Havaianas flip flops then this was you chance!
The event was catapulted at the Northwing Atrium from July 30 to August 2, 2010. Havaianas, a widely known (maybe a little too much) brand of flip flops not only in Cebu but Nationwide and even Worldwide, inveigled and surprised Cebuanos with its Annual Make Your Own Havaianas event allowing people to showcase their individual ingenuity and style.
Philippine Restaurants and Nightspots in Asiatown IT Park Cebu
One of the best Philippine restaurants is found at the very heart of Cebu City. If you enjoy a hearty meal but with a firm budget on your mind, you can visit a wide array of restaurants and fast food chains here in Cebu City that will surely satisfy your cravings. People all have unique quirks and preferences but just by visiting various shopping malls like Ayala Center Cebu and SM City Cebu or Asiatown IT Park will give you a variety of food choices.
Asiatown IT Park located in Salinas Drive Lahug Cebu City is known for housing a vast group of commercial establishments and buildings including popular call centers like Convergys, Stream also known previously as Etelecare Global Solutions, Aegis also known previously as People Support, Qualfon, Xlibris, and JP Morgan Chase.
Carmelite Spirituality Center and Claretian Mission Center
Carmelite Spirituality Center
Our second stopover was the Carmelite Spirituality Center situated high above the mountains of Barangay Milagros, Ormoc. The walk towards the center was tedious which only made me realize how much I lacked exercise.
The Carmelite Spirituality Center was of course captivating and somber. To witness the stunning statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus, we had to climb further up small but rather lengthy steps. I could not help but feel that the further we ascended up those hallowed steps, the more you feel spiritually vulnerable and reflective.
After reaching the top, I have never felt happier since finally we were able to reach our short and momentary destination and of course, I got to see the statue closely. I felt an assortment of feelings then, I prayed again thinking that I had to, it was inevitable. I guess this is somehow what anyone would most likely do whenever you feel God is in close proximity.
Alba Uno Residencia Review
December 19th, 2011
Praline Alba Uno Residencia is a newer hotel situated in Apas, just 3 minutes away from Asiatown IT Park, Cebu City. We were looking for a room that could accommodate at least 3 adults and 1 child. Luckily, this hotel was able to provide us with a standard family room that’s good for 4 people. Two days before our scheduled stay, we were told that they didn’t have any family room available so we went ahead and reserved a Standard Room that could accommodate two people. This wasn’t a good option considering that you have to pay an additional P300 for the excess person plus another P300 for extra beddings. The room itself cost P1400 which would mean we’ll be paying P2000 instead of only P1900 for a family room. The pricing seemed inappropriate if you do the math.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Is Showing At IMAX SM Cebu
December 16th, 2011
Praline Finally, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is showing in IMAX at SM City Cebu! Being a self-confessed movie addict this is definitely a movie I don’t want to miss. I just received confirmation from IMAX that they are indeed showing this movie in 2D. Though, I was expecting the 3D version but what the heck! I’ve been an avid fan of Tom Cruise ever since Top Gun and I’ve enjoyed the previous three so I’m quite sure that this movie will again, be a hit!
If you haven’t seen the trailer then see the video below. For those currently in Cebu City you can purchase you tickets by logging on to to www.smcinema.com or dial local 140; call (032) 231-3876 / 231-4852.
If you want to find out what the movie is all about, here’s a short synopsis from IMAX.
What to Do Before Buying A Second Hand Car in Cebu City
December 8th, 2011
Praline Lately, I’ve been very busy with my work online as well as searching for a cheap yet quality second hand car in Cebu. Just recently my family moved to Compostela Cebu which is approximately 23 kilometers from the apartment we rented in Lahug or around an hour if you travel by any known public transportation. It’s quite far I know but that’s really what you can expect when you purchase a home here in Cebu since most of the properties located near the city cost an extravagant amount of money. We’re basically talking around 5 to 15 million pesos, which is absolutely absurd if you ask me, unless your some rich tycoon or drug lord you can probably afford those luxurious properties.
Project Cars Exhibit in Ayala Center Cebu
September 6th, 2011
Praline I saw the Project Cars exhibit in Ayala Center Cebu last Sunday, September 4, 2011. It’s just amazing how people actually live with cars like the ones I’ve seen. I know there’s a lot of people who own fabulous cars not only here in Cebu but also in the Philippines. Obviously, these cool rides have been pimped and customized to satisfy the owner’s expectations. I’ve seen plenty of car exhibits; however, it’s been unfortunate since I haven’t been able to take photos of them. Anyways, check out the photos I’ve taken of the Project Cars exhibit in Ayala Center Cebu. Cheers!
















East West Cafe in Asiatown IT Park Cebu
September 2nd, 2011
Praline East West located in The Walk at Asiatown IT Park serves one of the best crepes I’ve ever tasted here in Cebu at a reasonable cost. Yesterday, my husband and I went out to have another taste of their delicious desserts. All I know is that they serve one of the best crepes in town. What I like about their crepes is that it smells delicious and tastes even better than most crepes I’ve tasted. You’ll only be spending around P135 to P159 for each crepe.

The flavors available are Apple Cinnamon Fold (P159.00), Bananas & Hazelnut (P159.00), Mango Sushi Crepe (P159.00), Cinnamon Roll (P145.00), Rocky Road Crepe (P145.00), and Peanut Butter & Jelly Pocket (P135.00). My absolute favorite is the Mango Sushi Crepe. As part of their menu, they also have breakfast and grilled sandwiches available. Their version of Big Breakfast is made out of ham and longganiza for P125. Other breakfast meals are Ham (P105), Longganiza (P105), and Bacon (P125).
Avril Lavigne: What the Hell + Lyrics
September 1st, 2011
Praline Sing along with Avril Lavigne‘s What the Hell! Happy Thursday morning! ^_^
You say that I’m messing with your head
All cause I was making out with your friend
Love hurts whether it’s right or wrong
I can’t stop cause I’m having too much fun
You’re on your knees
Begging please
Stay with me
But honestly
I just need to be a little crazy
All my life I’ve been good,
But now
I’m thinking What The Hell
All I want is to mess around
And I don’t really care about
If you love me
If you hate me
You can save me
Baby, baby
All my life I’ve been good
But now
Whoaaa…
What The Hell
So what if I go out on a million dates
You never call or listen to me anyway
I’d rather rage than sit around and wait all day
Don’t get me wrong
I just need some time to play
Tatum and McAdams in The Vow: Valentine’s Day Movie for 2012
September 1st, 2011
Praline The Vow with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams will be the perfect Valentine’s Day movie in 2012. I know it’s a bit early to think about Valentines Day when Christmas is still on its way, but why not? I just recently seen the trailer and I think I’ll watch this movie once it’s out. The release date of this movie is scheduled on February 10, 2012 but that’ll be in the United States. We’ll have to wait for the exact schedule of when it’ll be released here in the Philippines.

In The Vow, Rachel McAdams plays the role of Paige who got into a car accident with her husband Leo, played by Channing Tatum. The accident caused Paige to be in a coma but after she wakes up, she couldn’t remember her husband due to severe memory loss. Channing Tatum is set to win her heart whatever the odds may be. I like the storyline and I’m curious how the movie will end up. Perhaps it’ll be a good ending since it always is. I admire both actors especially with Rachel McAdams in The Notebook.
