Dessert Factory

Location: Ayala Center Cebu

One thing that Ayala Center-Cebu have is the, of course, they provide the classy and sophisticated setting in which some of the Cebuanos spend their time with their family, especially dining.

One of the most splendid restaurants, that I’ve been able to dine at least 10 times or more, is Dessert Factory. This is the place where my girlfriend can find the luscious cakes, ice cream and a combination of both. There are also cookies that are cooked so right that you would like to simply eat them all like there’s no tomorrow. Plus, a variety of drinks are available for you to choose from and my favorite is the Lassi yoghurt drink, which gives me enough satisfaction that I am indeed full after a great meal. continue reading » »

The Feast of Sinulog: Cebuano Heritage

Okay, now let’s see. The first time I saw the yearly celebration of Sinulog was on television and that was way back in the early 90’s. I was still a kid though and I didn’t know what it’s all about… but I did like the colors and choreographies.

Let’s take a little peak about the Sinulog festival’s history, briefly. continue reading » »

Bisrock: The Elevation of Cebuano Music

The slow revolution of Cebuano music has elevated itself to become one of the most celebrated genres of today. Actually, through the years, I’ve been hearing songs from notable Cebuano singers/composers such as Max Surban and Yoyoy Villame and they do have talents as well as skills into making their songs match their personalities. And the melodies are contagious too. They do it naturally and it sticks to the minds of the people who have heard it. And lucky me, I do hear those kind of songs ever since I opened my eyes the first time. continue reading » »

Cebu’s Istorya.Net

Cebu' Istorya.Net, Southern Philippine’s premiere discussion/forums abode.

Websites are the common places that we can entirely find out something about a certain subject and learn something about its history and background. Actually, I’ve been dwelling into a certain website that focuses mostly on my interests. I seem to be on the verge of lameness until I stumbled upon the development of discussion threads or message boards that discusses about the certain topics. The most interesting thing about this website is that, most of the members are Cebuanos. “Now this is new”, I said. I clicked the link and there popped out istorya.net forums. continue reading » »

University of San Carlos – Technological Center

Location: Talamban, Cebu City

It started with the idea, years ago, that the University of San Carlos – Technological Center,which is located in Talamban, was dubbed as the one of the most, if not, the most “coolest” place to be among several colleges. The rugged look, jagged attitude yet sophisticated lifestyle in college of USC-TC have embraced the popularity by standpoint from most students in the whole Cebu. Actually, I didn’t believe that idea until I got enrolled back in the year 2000, the year in which the controversial issue of ROTC rocked every university and college in the whole country. I had a choice to enroll either IT (Information Technology) or Fine Arts and I chose the latter since I had a bit of background in the sketching and drawing department. But, the real life is not always involved in the vast space of getting educated and getting involved with the art fiasco and other stuff since it is also about how you handle your life outside of the school and to get acquainted with the college life… and I have been able to learn what USC-TC is all about. However, that is for me to keep. continue reading » »
