The Best Ballet Duo In The Philippines After getting tricked to join ballet by their mother, Carissa and Candice Adea started learning at a very young age. Their motivations for ballet changed over the years. What started as an outlet for play and meeting friends became a big part of their lives where they found…
Co-working has become more popular in Cebu. A few years ago, I used to work in Cebu’s first co-working space, Location 63, which was owned by Chris Ducker, an international blogger and entrepreneur. Back then, the term co-working was such an alien term. As someone who has worked with different foreign start-ups, the importance of…
A few weeks ago, Steph and I got an invitation for a coffee and dessert pairing at 32 Umber. Perfect. Steph can’t drink coffee and I can’t have dessert. We’ll half everything. She’s pregnant and I’m on a no sugar diet. When we arrived, we were treated with a spattering of desserts and coffee. Their…
It was Sunday morning when we arrived in Bojo River, Aloguinsan, Cebu. While waiting for the tide to rise, we flew the drone to get our first view of the place. Then we hopped on our sail boat and started our awesome river cruise. When we reached the end where the Bojo river meets the…
“I accidentally found this route.” After an hour of climbing down rocks, Kahlil, our guide, shared how he found his favorite trekking route. “We were driving towards Buhisan Dam from Guadalupe using Waze.

They outnumber us. Having a dog is a big responsibility. It is likened to having a baby because of the huge effort exerted…
With the growing interest and desire to travel, it’s no surprise Airbnb increased in popularity. I have personally used Airbnb both here and abroad. So far my experiences have always been pleasant, but this doesn’t apply to all. I have also heard many Airbnb horror stories from friends (both for owners and guests!). At the…
What is the best way to start the day? A big breakfast! But we get so caught up with our busy schedules and the crazy traffic before going to work that many of us tend to miss breakfast. I am no exception. Breakfast is not my favorite meal of the day, but breakfast food is…
Cebu continues to experience a dramatic increase in everything; population, buildings, businesses and even traffic. One of my favorite improvements is the incredible expansion in dining options. Without a doubt, Cebu has finally caught up to Manila’s food scene. 2016 saw a number of restaurants and cafes open their doors to the Cebuano public. Here’s…
Coffee has slowly become an important part of the city dwelling Cebuano. You can tell because of all the cafes sprouting out. We aren’t talking about the cutesy gimmicky ones either. We mean the cafes that serve legitimately good coffee. What is good coffee? It would take many arguments, clarifications, and much more than a…
