Baguio: Food and Events

By Celine -
We were in Baguio for my birthday last November 8. Aside from celebrating my birthday in my favourite city in the Philippines, +Jomar and I were also speakers for the Google community Baguio events last November 9. He will be speaking at +GDG Baguio's Devfest while I will be sharing about Google+ and Google Search for Education for +GBG Baguio's gDaysXBaguio.

The morning started with a round of breakfast from +Azalea Baguio. The joint morning program happened while we moved from one room to another and we also visited the ongoing launch of +GEG Philippines in +Berkeley School Baguio. We had lunch at Canto in the Ketchup Food Community.

Delicious food from Canto!

After lunch, I was running going to my session which was supposed to start by 2:00 PM. Lunch for the event was late, and thus all the talks were delayed by around an hour.

My #autoawesome Presentation captured by +JR Padilla.

After the event, we all had a pizza-pasta buffet lunch at +Tradisyon Coffee Shop. I was full. Be sure to try the Tiramisu as well in the dessert buffet - very delicious.

The Pasta Man! He prepared the pasta for the customers.
You have to choose whether red, white, or oil-based sauce and
you could pick from the different pasta they have.

The picture looks like a ghost pizza movie. LOL!
They have five different pizza, and you could get as many as you want.

I can't wait to come back to Baguio. Thanks to +Vince and +Reymart for taking care of us and congrats to them on the hugely successful event.
Location: Baguio City, Philippines

How much does a wedding in Manila Cathedral cost?

By Celine -

Jomar and I will have our Philippine Catholic wedding in July. To enlighten those who want to have their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in the beautiful and historic Manila Cathedral, I will share with you how much it cost. Why did we pick Manila Cathedral? I want to say that because it's historic and beautiful. But honestly, it's because Manila Cathedral has relevant information on their website for a couple like us living and already legally married abroad. Ms. Donna also responds to our emails and calls promptly. The bonus is it's historic and beautiful. According to one of my Ninang, " ang haba ng walk down the aisle mo ." I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1. Reserve a wedding date The first thing you do is go to their ...

Food Trip near UP Los Baños: Faustina's and Baan Thai

It is a given that near most university there would be a lot of great food places! I am so happy that (thanks to  +Foursquare ) we stumbled upon Faustina's near University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). We were in the area last Saturday (February 22) during  +GDG Philippines  Campus Roadshow in UPLB. Faustina 's is a relatively small restaurant near UPLB. It serves pizza, pasta, and rice meals. I had pesto pasta (which is my fave pasta - if you've been reading my blog you would see that I keep on ordering this pasta),  +Wayne  and  +Jomar  had the pasta with shrimps, and  +Reymart  had the vegetarian pasta. For sharing, we had shrimp cheese pizza. My pesto pasta was delicious. We were all quiet when the food arrived enjoying ourselves with the particular pasta we ordered.

Exploring Cineplex in Vancouver

When Jomar and I got married 6 months ago, we agreed to watch a movie at the cinema once a month (minimum). For the 5 of those 6 months, we have been watching movies at Cineplex Cinemas Marine Gateway and VIP. This month we decided to watch at Fifth Avenue Cinemas. First one inside the theater! Fifth Avenue Cinemas As the name implies, this cinema is at 5th Avenue corner Burrard. Walking distance (if you like walking) to both home and work. This location is restricted to age 19+ because they serve alcohol at the Licensed Bar and Lounge. Licensed Lounge Theater There are 5 in this location and the one we went to is smaller than I expected and it's ground level. The seats were low. April date Food and Snack I was disappointed by the food offering. I don't know but I was expecting it to have as many food choices as they have in their Marine branch but they only serve like 9 items and even the snack bar didn't have Outtakes - only popcorn. Food was st...
