Pasalubong shopping now made more convenient in two of the country’s newest airports

Duty Free Philippines, Corp (DFPC), the country’s sole operator of duty-and tax-free merchandising system, recently opened stores in Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) Terminal 2 and NAIA Terminal 3.

Duty Free Mactan Cebu International Airport - New Terminal 2

Duty Free Mactan welcomes travelers and tourists in two different locations at the newly inaugurated and much talked-about MCIA Terminal 2. Both in the pre-departure and arrival area, pasalubong shoppers can choose from a wide selection of products including liquor, fragrances and cosmetics, confectionery and other snacks. Duty Free Mactan has a combined floor area of over 1,200 square meters.

Duty Free Mactan Cebu International Airport - New Terminal 2

During the inauguration of MCIA Terminal 2 last month, President Rodrigo Duterte walked through the shops of Duty Free along with other officials including DFPC Chief Operations Officer Vicente Angala.

Duty Free Mactan Cebu International Airport - New Terminal 2

Meanwhile, a portion of the 3,600 square-meter Duty Free store at NAIA Terminal 3 Arrival area also started operations this June. This new outlet, which is expected to be fully operational by August 2018, is now offering Duty Free staples such as chocolates, perfumes, liquor, tobacco and other grocery items, at prices lower than the market prices in Manila.

“We are hopeful that these business initiatives would support the long-term growth of Duty Free in the Philippines,” said Angala.

Duty Free is also scheduled to open a luxury store at the SM Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City. At 4,200 square meters, Duty Free Luxe will be one of its largest shopping outlets. It will carry a wide selection of high end imported goods and retail mix that will capture brands across all spectrums – from luxury designer labels like Bally and Ferragamo to mid-priced fashion labels like Coach and Michael Kors.”

In the past few days, I used to expect Connecticut as another countryside state of the United States. I thought it's just famous because of Yale University. Actually, it was not a bad impression but it's more on a nice first mental picture I had since I'm a traveler who is into trekking and camping especially on a bright Summer season. But when I started browsing places to visit when in Connecticut, a different level of interest climb into my brain. Then I get excited about my Business Travel at Timex Watches' Headquarter!

Showing my favorite Waterbury Classic Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch from TIMEX

I arrived in the United States on the 15th of July for a two-week stay. I'm one of the lucky Timex employees from the Philippines who got the chance to fly in the Dream Country and experience their style of living and of course, attend a series of business meetings and workshops. From John F. Kennedy International Airport, I rode a Limousine which was booked by the company going to Waterbury. I am staying in Courtyard by Marriott Waterbury Downtown. The place is very nice and clean - I'm loving my huge Suite Room! Check out the link for a short tour uploaded in Instagram IGTV.

This is one of the best and most pleasing offices I've visited

Lucky is indeed within me so far! I met my old friend, Eunice from Timex Philippines who are already living in the State with his husband who happened to be a good buddy in Timex. She is already a mom and she's running a blog called WANDERFUL DAYS OF A GIRL WHO LOVES LIFE. She's a good toastmaster member that's why you need a dictionary when you read her blog. Kidding aside, this Mom Blogger helped me a lot in my stay in Connecticut. Now, I'm excited to share the places we've been so far during off-office hours in this beautiful state of Connecticut.

---

FIRST DAY

---

With my friend, Eunice and her family

This masterpiece is deserving for a spot here in my blog!

My first day was welcomed with a great Japanese eats in Red Corner in which the best Sushi is being served. After such gastronomic lunch, we headed to Costco which I purchased a large item of Chicken Breast and 2 dozens of eggs for my weekly consumption in the Hotel. And of course, the afternoon won't end without a caffeine fix in Cheshire Coffeeshop - I love their Brewed coffee btw.

Spending a summertime with my Cheshire Brewed Coffee

---

SECOND DAY

---

Special highlights are--- I was able to meet the amazing people behind our E-Commerce Team in Timex Headquarters. Of course, I got a tour around the Timex Premises with our very own E-Com Director, isn't it a lucky start of the week?

Look! I feel like I'm in an International Aiport. This feels!

---

THIRD DAY

---

And of course, I met another Pinoy who is working here, her name is Joy of Finance Department. She showed me around most especially the Nature-spots of the Office. Walking and Jogging are a thing here in the headquarter - very nice!

Woodhedge in Timex Headquarter!

Sorry, if you're a first timer in the headquarter then one picture with yourself and this UFO-type building in the background won't hurt. LOL

---

FOURTH DAY

---

A normal workday for everyone. After 5PM, Eunice and her hubby invited me for an ice cream treat at Rich Farm Ice Cream - a very famous shop when in Connecticut. And if you are a first-timer, please try their Razzmanian Devil, two scoops in a waffle cone. This kind of ice cream is made up of Vanilla with red raspberry sauce and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chunks!

Say hello to my Razzmanian Devil!

The cute baby couldn't take her eyes of my ice cream. Sorry baby, this is mine!

After that sweet treat, we then headed to the not so famous Southford Falls State Park. It is a public recreation area good for walking, jogging and even fishing. This is situated in the towns of Oxford and Southbury, Connecticut. You should get a selfie at the scary yet instagrammable covered bridge down the Falls. I love this Park!

Panorama of Southford Falls State Park

They said this place is pretty nice during Autumn or Fall but I say, it's summer version is pretty refreshing! Here's a selfie during our after office quick visit at Southford Falls State Park. Behind me is the famous covered bridge of the park. . . . . . . . #FaceCebuTravels#bewhoeveryouwanttobe#forumsession#pinoyhunk#pinoyhottie#asianhunk#vscodaily#Summer#asianboy#beach#likesforlikes#Follow4Follow #victorsguild#grammersph#grammerph#igers#lifeofadventure#btsarmy#vscocam#vscophile#connecticut_igers#connecticut#visualambassadors#usa#hunk#natgeo#travelblogger#travelstoriesphilippines#philippines#wtnadventures

FIFTH DAY

---

This day was very nice! All of our team including our Director had a nice beer and eats in Maggie McFly's in Middlebury! We talked a lot of stuff and sharing cultural stories from the UK to the Philippines and here in the countryside of Connecticut. And oh, I got that Harpoon IPA Beer - it was slightly sweet with a little kick. LOL

---

SIXTH DAY

---

Thank God It's Friday! I decided to roam around the area of Waterbury Courtyard. Check out below:

The Waterbury Union Station is the City's most prominent landmark. It is a tall clock tower made of bricks which is dating to the first decade of the 20th century. And of course, I'm showing my all time fave @timex Weekender Chrono. Now this is the true #weekendvibes! . . . . . . . #FaceCebuTravels#bewhoeveryouwanttobe#forumsession#pinoyhunk#pinoyhottie#asianhunk#vscodaily#Summer#asianboy#beach#likesforlikes#Follow4Follow #victorsguild#grammer#igers#lifeofadventure#btsarmy#vscocam#vscophile#connecticut_igers#connecticut#visualambassadors#usa#hunk#natgeo#travelblogger#travelstories#UnitedStates#wtnadventures

1. Waterbury Union Station - This is the most historic building in Waterbury. It is located on Meadow Street in the city of Waterbury, Connecticut, United States. It is a brick building dating to the first decade of the 20th century. Its tall clock tower, built by the Seth Thomas Company, is the city's most prominent landmark. Designed by the New York City architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, it handled 66 passenger trains a day at its peak. (Wikipedia)

2. St. Anne's Church - This Gothic-Style Church in Waterbury was organized in 1886 to serve the city’s French and French-Canadian Catholics. The parish’s first church was built in 1888-1889 on Dover Street. (historicbuildingsct.com)

3. Waterbury Court House/Building

4. Our Lady of Lourdes Church - This small Church is just a block away from the Courtyard Hotel.

Of course, after that quick roaming, Joy and I headed to Brass Mill Center to buy some personal stuff. The Place is huge.

---

SEVENTH DAY

---

This day was dubbed as my free-kind of a day!

First couple hours in the morning, Joy and I headed to Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets for some windows shopping and of course, check out some amazing clearance sale in almost all stores.

Mickey was in Yale!

After that tiring yet fulfilling product browsing, we then visited the famous YALE University. The University belt is huge! It's like you're into Hogwarts University where Harry Potter was studying his witchcraft and wizardry. The buildings are old yet elegant. The visually striking structures were designed by famed architect Eero Saarinen who was also known for designing the St. Louis Arch in 1934 and built 25 years later.

Then we had a full dinner in Mr. Wok Chinese Buffet in Waterbury. I love their seafood menu here! Their Shrimp dishes won't fail - I tell you!

---

EIGHT DAY

---

This was the BIG Day for me! And because of that, I'm doing a separate article for my Walking Tour Adventure in New York.

Hudson River Park of Pier 45 in New York is one of the best Parks I visited today. I'm excited to blog my walking tour around New York on my blog www.FaceCebu.net . . . . . . . #FaceCebuTravels#bewhoeveryouwanttobe#forumsession#pinoyhunk#pinoyhottie#asianhunk#vscodaily#Summer#asianboy#beach#likesforlikes#Follow4Follow #victorsguild#grammer#igers#lifeofadventure#btsarmy#vscocam#vscophile#newyork#hudsonriverpark#visualambassadors#usa#hunk#natgeo#travelblogger#travelstories#UnitedStates#wtnadventures#manhattan

It was gloomy outside when I took a peek at the Hotel's window. I thought that would be an uncool kind of day for visiting New York. I thought it was a bad decision to visit the Big Apple on a Sunday without even checking out the weather forecast prior ahead. It was my weekend off from work at Timex Middlebury and I thought a good walking tour around that City wouldn't hurt. But my worry went off the radar when I finally arrived the busy City of New York. It was indeed worth the risk.

Walking Tour in New York City with my new Timex Fairfield Chronograph Supernova™ 41mm Leather Strap Watch

Twentieth of July when I purchased my online ticket for a bus going to New York from Waterbury. Indeed, it was an easy-peasy kind of transaction. I chose Peter Pan Bus Lines because it was suggested by my Filipino friends here in the States and they didn't fail! So it was a rainy 6:30 in the morning when I walked from my hotel going to the Travel Center or Bus stop which is definitely very near to Courtyard by Marriott. It was a two-hour ride from Waterbury to New York City. I arrived like 9 AM sharp and the excitement rose up from my feet to my head. Without any hesitations, I grabbed the iPhone borrowed from the Company and launched my best friend app of that day, Google Map. It was my first time in the big City in the United States and I bet I was confident because I got the right tool and of course, money to roam around. So, here's my own itinerary or places which I am so proud of that I had visited successfully by just walking. Yes, if you really wish to enjoy the scenery and savor every corner in New York, you should try this Walking Tour I made.

---

1. Central Park (Southern Part)

---

Let's start off with the famous Park in New York, the huge Central Park. For me, an hour or two is not enough to experience Central Park. This Park is the fifth largest Urban Park in New York City so  I would say One day is good to cover everything. If you're riding a Bus, then your start location is the Port Authority of New York. This place alone is very instagrammable so you might want to check this place out before proceeding to Central Park which I actually forgot to do so.

A lot to do in Central Park. If you wish just to site seeing, then you are very much welcome. But the park is open to everyone who wishes to do everything such as running, walking, family time bonding, eating, just feel the fresh air, or whatever you want except Rated 18 activities (wink).


WALK TIME: 9 AM to 9:50AM
FROM-TO: Port Authority of New York to Central Park
DISTANCE: 1.2 miles

---

2. Times Square

---

So the next destination is very near, it's the busy Time Square where you can see all race of life getting selfies or taking pictures of their friends. So before you arrive on this area, you can also take pictures of the famous Radio City Music Hall.

WALK TIME: 10 AM to 10:15 AM
FROM-TO: Central Park to Time Square Manhattan
DISTANCE: 0.7 miles

---

3. Empire State Building

---

This New York's famous building, Empire State Building is located two-three blocks after Bryant Park in which I forgot to visit.

WALK TIME: 10:15 AM to 10:30 AM
FROM-TO:  Time Square Manhattan to Empire State Building
DISTANCE: 1.1 miles

---

4. Madison Square Park

---

Of course, as what you expect from me - I'm into green stuff so I went directly to Madison Square Park. Nothing nice to see here but just a cute Garden Park with a cute playground for kids.

WALK TIME: 10:30 AM to 10:40 AM
FROM-TO:  Empire State Building to Madison Square Park
DISTANCE: 0.5 mile

---

5. Flatiron Building

---

This amazing skyscraper is originally called the Fuller Building. Why it's called like that? Obviously, the building looks like a cast-iron clothes iron. Cute, isn't it? Why Flatiron is significant most especially to Movie-goers? Because this building was featured in several films such as Armageddon, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Godzilla, As Good as It Gets, Hitch, New York Minute, Spider-Man, and many more!

WALK TIME: 10:40 AM to 10:42 AM
FROM-TO:  Madison Square Park to Flatiron Building
DISTANCE: 1.0 mile

---

6. Washington Square Park

---

Now, this is one of my favorite Urban Park in New York.  Washington Square Park has the famous Washington Arc and this place is very near to New York University. It is situated in lower Manhattan and is the center of Cultural activities such as singing, dancing, band, painting display and other stuff. Also, Washing Square Arch celebrates the centennial of George Washington's inauguration as President of the United States in 1789 and forms the grand southern terminus of Fifth Avenue. That's why it's famous and historical!

WALK TIME: 10:42 AM to 11:00 AM
FROM-TO:  Flatiron Building to Washington Square Park
DISTANCE: 1.0 mile

---

7. Our Lady Of Pompeii Church

---

This is a Catholic church located in Greenwich Village in Manhattan. Such a nice building for me.

WALK TIME: 11:00 AM to 11:05 AM
FROM-TO:  Washington Square Park to Our Lady Of Pompeii Church
DISTANCE: 0.3 mile

---

8. Hudson River Park (Pier 45 down to 25)

---

Aside from my fave Central Park and Washington Square Park, this Park is designed for physically active people of New York! Why my fave? You can see the skyline of New York City! A fresh air from the river/sea plus the trees and plants around gives you a determination to go on a run or just a walk with friends or maybe a simple picnic with family is famous here. It is very relaxing in this park compared to others.

WALK TIME: 11:05 AM to 11:20 AM
FROM-TO:  Our Lady Of Pompeii Church to Hudson River Park
DISTANCE: 0.6 mile

---

9. Ground Zero Memorial Park (9/11 Memorial)

---

If you remember the tragic September 11, 2001 attacks which killed 2,977 people, then this is the place now. It's ground zero from two tall buildings which were destroyed during the attack. Names of those who died were engraved in the two memorial roofs of the twin towers. It is the most crowded Parks I've visited when in New York. You can actually feel the sadness of the Tourists coming to this area. That tragic moment was a story that no one loves to listen.

WALK TIME: 11:20 AM to 12 NOON
FROM-TO:   Hudson River Park to Ground Zero Memorial Park (9/11 Memorial)

10. Westfield World Trade Center or Oculus Mall

This is a unique structure as this is actually an underground mall which is situated just at the back of the 9/11 memorial museum and front of The Millennium Hotel. And to add, this is the largest mall in Manhattan which is designed by Calatrava. I did not go downstairs as I was hurrying to grab some Starbucks Coffee but at the top, the mall really looks good and nice!

Easy Climb at Sidlak Danao : Thoughts and Realizations

I've been stressed in the past few days - not a work kind of stress but something personal. And that was a sign for me to do a quick climb! I'm not really sure what satisfaction I get every time I do trekking but every time I climb mountains with friends, it's fulfilling! Last weekend was another kind of short but a full sweat trek at the mountainous areas of Danao City.

Danao has been one of my comfy-travel destinations since I got closed with my Blogger friend Geezelle and her hubby, James who are living in this town. Geezelle runs a travel blog, Geemiz.com - yes, we share the same passion. This silent municipality offers a lot of travel spots for adventures and escapades such as Danasan Eco Adventure Park, Cebu Safari, and Adventure Park, Central Cebu Protected Landscape, among others.

Gezelle Tapangan-Maningo

Ate Chubs feeling the queen!

That one-day trek thought me a lot of learnings. In one of the barangays we visited, Bngy, Mandayag, we had witnessed a number of women and their children who were doing some weaving craft for home furniture and decors of an international brand. They earned less than what they expected from their labor but seeing their smiles and laughs is the contentment that any money cannot buy. 

While we're less than a kilometer going to our destination, we saw this little kid - maybe one-year-old kid - very happy walking with his new pair of shoes while his mother was following him down the hill carrying something heavy. They are very happy. You know that genuine type of happiness you see in their eyes? Yes, that kind of happiness!

They were living a simple yet very happy life. A kind of life that rich people cannot find from their branded dresses, signature shoes and bags, big mansions and broken family and friends. I hope my readers and followers find this article worth a read. Sometimes, you need to disconnect from the online world and live simply and enjoy life to the fullest.

How About Starbucks Celestial Siren Themed Anniversary Collection?

When speaking of Siren, what comes up into our creative mind? Yes, that mythical creature, Mermaid! But in our generation, a mermaid is easily associated with the Starbucks brand. Luckily, Starbucks offers a celestial Siren themed anniversary collection to all Starbucks Lovers out there! Ever since Starbucks opened its doors in 1971, the Siren has been the brand’s enduring logo that invites customers inside its stores across the world. Today, even as the smiling Starbucks barista hands over your handcrafted beverage, you see the iconic image at the center of the cup, a symbol that promises not just great coffee but also great moments of connection.

This flatlay is created by Social Media influencer Karl Ivan Jover Presentacion of @larkvain

Taken from a Norse woodcut from an old maritime book, the two-tailed siren pays homage to the seafaring history of Seattle as a port city and the journey of coffee itself, which until now is often being transported across the seas.

This September, Starbucks reimagines the biggest symbol of its brand with the release of its limited-edition Anniversary Collection. Themed the “Celestial Beauty of the Undersea”, the artwork has ethereal qualities with the siren swimming in a sea of stars.

---

ANNIVERSARY BLEND

---

As for its Anniversary Blend which started in 1996 to commemorate its 25th year, Starbucks celebrates its legacy of coffee roasting, blending expertise and craftsmanship with a bold fusion of aged Sumatra, Papua New Guinea and Indonesian coffees blended together and roasted. The result is a complex and full-bodied cup with spicy and earthy flavors that surprises with each sip. Available in the whole bean and VIA® format.

This flatlay is created by Social Media influencer Karl Ivan Jover Presentacion of @larkvain

---

STARBUCKS CARD SIREN

---

Another tribute to the mythical sea creature is the limited edition Anniversary Blend Card that features the siren’s blue-green tail with copper gold detailing that comes with a minimum activation of ₱500.

---

MERCHANDISE ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION

---

Along with the Anniversary Blend is the special Anniversary Collection which includes a wide array of merchandise catered to varied tastes. As part of its celestial theme, the line features a palette of cool shades of blue and white with hints of copper. The Siren artwork engages customers with its playful and alluring deep-sea elements, and provides a layer of whimsy to the collection.

Through the years, the siren has continuously transformed along with Starbucks growing global community. When the company revamped itself into a coffeehouse in 1987, its muse was colored an emerald green and given a more contemporary look. In 1992, the logo was zoomed in on the siren, focusing on her wavy locks and warm smile with just hints of her two tails. Eventually, 2011 ushered the biggest change yet as the siren broke away from her circle and became the icon that we all know today. Now, she remains the welcoming face of Starbucks, pulling in coffee-lovers with her enigmatic smile.

Lupang Hinirang (not "Bayang Magiliw") is the Philippine National Anthem's title. And it's been trending lately here in Cebu and of course, in the country as well, when Senator Sotto proposed to change the lyrics most specifically the end part. Even Vice Ganda expressed his disappointment on this matter in Its Showtime last Saturday. As I quote from Philstar, "Sotto is proposing to change the last line from the current one that declares the Filipino’s readiness, when faced with an oppressor, to die for the country – ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo– into one that vows to defend freedom – ang ipaglaban ang kalayaan mo." Since it has become a national concern, how come this Lady who sang our National Anthem in San Diego Padres VS. San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball game could not do it properly?

We don't judge her because maybe she's nervous that time but a little practice and research on the lyrics surely won't hurt? Right? Now, take a look from this original video captured by Roxanne Husain and uploaded in facebook. See below for the Youtube Version.





Just to refresh our minds, here is Lupang Hinirang (Philippine National Anthem) Lyrics

Bayang magiliw
Perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay

Lupang Hinirang
Duyan ka nang magiting
Sa manlulupig
Di ka pasisiil

Sa dagat at bundok sa simoy
At sa langit mo'y bughaw
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mong tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya'y kailanpama'y di magdidilim

Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Aming ligaya nang pag
May mang-aapi
Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo

When you see those colorful coffee cups in Starbucks, then surely, Christmas season has started! And every year, this most wonderful time brings a magical touch to every child and every person on Earth. We feel the joy that Christmas brings! Thus, Starbucks is celebrating with us through their Holiday surprises and offerings!

On November 23, Friday, Head to Ayala Center Cebu for a joyful and magical Cheer Party hosted by Starbucks Philippines. See you!

At Starbucks, welcoming the season with delicious beverages that deliver the holiday cheer in each sip has become the tradition. But beyond these cozy cups, it brews something even more heartwarming. This year at Starbucks, the blend is the magic - it’s where all the things we love about the season come together to make our Christmas experiences extra special.

Starbucks hosted a grand Christmas launch with a magical blend of nostalgic traditions, merry activities, and festive food at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. Two giant nutcrackers stood at the lighted entrance of the enchanting Christmas world and as guests stepped into the village, they were welcomed by a massive Christmas tree made with Red Cups and adorable Starbucks Bearista Bears, as well as a Starbucks Express train that circled around the Christmas village.




Guests further exploring the village discovered that it was brimming with exciting stations including a charming gingerbread house where they tasted the latest Starbucks offerings and saw the newest Christmas merchandise on display. There was also a larger-than-life Red Cup installation where guests scribbled their pledges to spread cheer and goodwill for the holidays. To capture their magical holiday memories, there was a cool Snow Globe 360º photo booth that had a magical virtual snow effect.

Cheer and laughter were in the air as guests participated in the fun games at the venue such as the ‘Starbucks Christmas Traditions’ game where they matched life-size Starbucks planner stickers and the ‘Snowy Cranberry’ game where they tossed toppings on the giant Snowy Cranberry Drinks. And it wouldn’t be Christmas without the traditional caroling which was held at the ‘Christ-Must Carol’ game station. Guests even got a chance to see Santa himself inside his cozy home and shared their Christmas wishes through his Mailbox.

Miss Lapu-Lapu 2018 Official Candidates

What’s new in Miss Lapu-Lapu 2018?

Miss Lapu-Lapu has a new project director and committee head. Atty. Ethelbert Ouano of the City Legal Office of the City Government of Lapu-Lapu is appointed by the Lapu-Lapu City Fiesta Executive Committee, Inc,, a non-stock, non-profit organization registered under Philippine laws to be at the helm of the pageant.  Atty. Ouano is ably assisted by his co-chairman Dr. Ronal Ferrer of the Department of Education Lapu-Lapu City Division.

The new Miss Lapu-Lapu Pageant Logo

Aside from a new committee head or project director, the Miss Lapu-Lapu Committee also rolled out a new branding logo.  The Miss Lapu-Lapu logo portrays a proud modern Oponganon woman’s silhouette with her head held up high. The head is overlaid with 30 petals and foliage as a symbol of femininity and a representation of the 30 barangays of the Historic Resort City. The crown is gold in color and is shaped like a bridge with mighty towers embellished with precious stones to symbolize grandeur, elegance, glitz, and glamour.

The logo is a refreshing take on the usual beauty pageant logos. The colors used are sky blue, golden yellow, persimmon orange, and forest green, which are Lapu-Lapu City’s branding colors. The font is straightforward and presents the pageant name with clarity.

Overall, the Miss Lapu-Lapu 2018 logo design reflects the pageant’s tagline: Beautiful. Colorful. It adheres to the mission and vision of the search for the modern ambassadress, embodying the promotion and preservation of the rich and colorful heritage of the city.
