Cebu: Food and Friends

By Celine -
Last weekend, +Jomar and I were back in Cebu for a Google Apps for Education training for one of the universities there.

We arrived in Cebu at around 10:30 PM and met with +Jerome at The Ridges Commercial Center. We went to Starbucks in IT Park to discuss the training the following day. I had hot chocolate and croissant. After less than an hour, we went straight to Center Suites to get some shut eye for the next morning's training.

After having breakfast, we went to university and trained the student leaders of the campus. It was the first time I teach students about Google Apps who already know the basic but was amaze on the other things I shared. I had fun today!

After the training, we went back to the hotel to get some rest before heading for the most impressive Japanese dinner at Kamekichi Ramen Noodle House. I fell in love with their Gyoza and can't wait to try the Takoyaki in their other branch, next time.

After dinner, we went to the CMYK Dessert House for dessert. I highly suggest the funnel cake and sizzling CMYK. Food is one of the reasons why I love going to Cebu and Jerome is the best food Cebu guide ever!

By Sunday, Jomar and I went to the Sto. Nino for the 10:30 AM Mass then went back to the hotel to check-out. We had lunch at Sunburst and desserts at Dessert Factory in the Ayala Center- Terraces.

Food coma is an understatement in Cebu! I can't wait for my next Cebu trip this coming May 2013.
Location: Cebu City, Philippines

Places to Visit in Cavite

Jomar (my boyfriend) is from Cavite province. Because of that, we decided to have a Cavite tour as part of our Valentine-Birthday celebration. He knows how much I love going to historical places. Thus he planned an itinerary for a day trip going places that played a significant role in Philippines history. We started our trip by meeting at Ayala Avenue, Makati City. We rode a bus going to Baclaran then transferred to a bus that goes to Cavite City. After around an hour and a half due to the horrible traffic near SM Bacoor, we went down in Aguinaldo's Shrine. It was my first time there! Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine Source of the Picture

Last October 2013, I was able to visit the City of Naga and below is my food trip in CamSur. Casa Moderna Freshly baked bread on a huge brick oven and some Pancit for snacks on a lazy afternoon. That's how I enjoyed the soft pastry and meaty Pancit in Casa Moderna. Currently, they have five branches all in Naga City. Be sure to visit at least one of them. Meaty Palabok

No restaurant food for a month challenge

By Celine -

Jomar and I decided to challenge ourselves by not eating at restaurants for a month. It's really difficult for me because I grew up in a family where we always dine out (minimum of once a week) or buy food from restaurants or fast food. Rules and Exceptions No eating at restaurants (which includes coffee shop) that it's just the two of us. We can eat food from restaurants if someone else is paying for it (this is here because of my weekly work team lunch). We can eat out if there's a birthday celebration (this is here because Therese is celebrating her birthday this month). We can eat out during our once a month movie date. Lifestyle change We're in a grocery store 1-2 times a week. I cook more frequently which I don't mind. I lost 5lbs in the first week that we didn't eat out. Food Here's a list of things I have cooked or I plan to cook: Chicken Tinola (Ginger and Onion Chicken Soup) Filipino Bistek Pork Kaldereta (Pork in Tomato St...
