Just when I was having another one of my crazy cravings, I came across a thread in the Cebu Bloggers Society Forums about another shop opening.

And Guess what? It’s food again :lol:. What’s even better is, it’s healthy food! The new Frizberry Yogurt shop will be opening this coming March 8, 2010, which is this coming Monday already at the 2nd level of SM City Cebu, fronting Salon D’Rose. If you have difficulty finding Frizberry Yogurt, hop on an escalator to the 2nd level, then start walking towards the SM Department Store. Don’t go through the front entrance of the department store, but instead go through one of the side entrances. I forgot which side, though. Forgive me :P. I’m a big yogurt fan, so I’m hoping this will a place that I can come visit often int he future.

The Cebu Bloggers Society and I will be there, so I hope you guys can come at around 10AM for the opening.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and couples are busy making plans for the big day. As a call center employee, holidays mean little to me, since I still work on those days. They only mean something if I get paid to work on them. To me, they’re just like any old day, except you get paid more. Teehee. But Valentine’s Day is not even a legal or a special holiday, so might as well make everyday Valentine’s for me.

Instead of not feeling Valentine’s again, I’m planning on watching Faccias De Amore (Faces of Love), a play presented by the University of San Carlos (USC-CEBU) College of Nursing in partnership with Teatro Sugbo, Incorporated. The play is currently ongoing, scheduled from February 11-13, 2010, with 2 showings per day, at 4:30PM and 7:30PM. For those interested in watching the play, you can go to the University of San Carlos (USC)- South Campus along corners J. Alcantara St., P. Del Rosario Ext. and V. Rama Ave. Cebu City.

For those wondering what the play is all about, let me give you a brief summary that might get your interest.  This is quoted from the Cebu Bloggers Society forum: Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been blogging even before I joined this group, but blogging wasn’t as fun as when I did.

In two years, blogging in Cebu has ripened from just being a mere online diary to something that takes an active role in civic and social awareness.

One of the factors that contributed to this positive development in the blogging scene in Cebu is the creation of a local blogging community.

The Cebu Bloggers Society was founded on February 14, 2008, with the main goal of uniting Cebu-based bloggers into a well-bonded community. And indeed, after its creation, individuals with diverse backgrounds but with a common interest, which is to promote Cebu and advocate blogging as a key tool for progress, converged together to establish Cebu’s first and largest blogging community.

The Cebu Bloggers Society has really grown and evolved quite significantly. From its humble beginnings, the group presently has at least 80 members and the number is still bound to increase further.

And now, the group is already anticipating its 2nd founding anniversary! Dubbed as “CBS @ 2: The Cebu Bloggers Society 2nd Anniversary Celebration”, the event is envisioned to further strengthen the bond of friendship and camaraderie within the blogging community.

The anniversary celebration will be held on Sunday, February 14, 2010, 5-9PM, at the Celebration Hall of SM Storyland, Lower Ground Floor, SM City Cebu.

This big and important event won’t be possible without the help and assistance of the following:

Well,see you this coming Sunday, Cebu Bloggers!

Just last week, I had the privilege of getting invited to a restaurant opening, the Brasco Pizza and Pasta pizza parlor. I was pretty swamped with everything that has been going on and I was looking to do overtime at work for the extra cash and had just started working out. Thing is, I noticed my blog hasn’t been updated in quite a while already, so I grabbed the chance and here I am writing a review about the place.

When asked why Brasco was named as such, we found out that Brasco basically stands for Bryan’s Aspirations Company. It may not be much, but then again, the thought is there and plus, it is Italian-sounding, a fitting name for an Italian delicacy. Two out of three aren’t bad, I suppose – as long as they serve the same wonderful Italian food people all around the world love to eat at the family dinner table, at work or in front of their email and foxy bingo online (www.foxybingo.com) page. We hoped the food wouldn’t turn out to be merely ‘aspirational’, either.

Located in The Gallery along Juan Luna Avenue in Cebu City, Brasco Pizza and Pasta opened its very first branch, hoping to attract the growing pizza lovers crowd.  Read the rest of this entry »

Last August 14th, I was one of the lucky ones who got invited by AboitizLand to First Bite:A Blogger’s Urban Lifestyle party. The main purpose of the event was to showcase AboitizLand’s new Urban Village in construction, which is The Persimmon.

The Meet Up

The party was to be held at Pristina North, situated in Talamban, Cebu. The first meeting place was supposed to be at the Aboitiz office in Mandaue, but since it wasn’t really easily accessible for the bloggers, the meeting place was changed to the Ayala Center’s Seattle’s Best Coffee Shop. The agreed time was 5PM, I was texting Empress so I could meet up with her in case the others were not there yet, and sure enough, there was not one blogger that I recognized in sight. So I just decided to sit down and wait for the others to come. Waiting didn’t take long, the others came one by one until everyone expected was there.

This is a repost from BEYOND ART’S SAKE

In our effort to unite artists, promote their artwork while at the same time serving our community, we would like to invite photo enthusiasts, photographers – both amateur and professional, to contribute their talent and skill for a cause. The entire proceeds of this project will go to Tsinelas Foundation, a non-profit organization which promotes literacy and assists poor students in poor barangays in Cebu.
