Cebu Once Again

I created this blog to document all my travel and food adventures. I've already migrated some of my trip diaries and posts from my other personal blog to this blog, but I still have a long long way to go.  Work is busy as usual and I have a lot of things to attend to so I think it would take some time to fill-up this blog with travel stories and photos.

Speaking of work, I'll be going to Cebu again in a few hours to cascade some important stuff to our Visayas colleagues. This will be a strictly business trip so there's nothing much to tell. The only personal agenda I have is to eat good food (as usual) and to buy and bring home the bacon(s) - literally speaking.

I want to have dinner or lunch at the original Casa Verde and binge on the famous Brian's Ribs. I've been trying to eat at Casa Verde on my previous Cebu trips but it was  always trumped by other local favorites like Harbour City, Cheaver's, Bigby's or Golden Cowrie. Let's see if I will be successful this time.

My flight is at 1:30 pm and this will be my ride:



Withstanding delays,  I will arrive in Cebu before 3:00 pm and I will stay here:



I'm already giddy! Nice hotels and big airplanes make me excited, even on strictly business trips! All aboard! See yah!

Boracay's Scenes & Sounds

I was fortunate to be in Boracay last Labor Day weekend for an event. I was not really expecting the work trip and I only learned that I was going less than 24 hours before my actual departure. I went to the island to oversee one of the activities of our premiere summer event.

It was only my third trip to the island and it was fun to learn and experience new things and visit different places which I haven't been. It's also nice to discover a different Boracay apart from the watersports and beaching that we all love. Read on!

1. I was "almost" and "mostly" solo on the trip and it was both good and bad. Good because I can do all the things I want and bad because I don't have anybody to share it with.

2. Labor Day weekend was the second busiest period of summer! I was early at the airport but I was still bumped off because AirPhil Express overbooked my flight due to four canceled Caticlan flights that day.
