Let's Getaway! A Day of Adventure and Fun With Merrell

Cebu means adventure! Aside from the island's rich in culture, tradition, food and delicacy and Cebuano hospitality, Cebu earned a trending signature to famous adventurous activities such as Canyoneering, Trekking, Sky Diving, Wakeboarding, Rock Climbing, among others. Indeed, Cebu is the best place for Merrell to getaway to adventure! Known as the global outdoor and lifestyle brand, Merrell invites everyone to escape the daily grind, be spontaneous and enjoy life’s adventures with, of course, their famous Brand Ambassador, James Reid.




A DAY AT THE PEAK AND CEBU'S FAMOUS WATERFALLS



Together with a number of Cebu Media and Digital movers, we met early as 3AM and get excited for a day that is full adventure and adrenaline rush as we were going to Southern Cebu's famous Peak and Waterfalls. It was 7 in the morning when we stretched our body and warmed up as we were ready to conquer the peak. But before anything else, we geared up with Merrell's Hydro Hiking shoes. I got my Waterpro Maipo and I got pumped up! Let's do this!





After enjoying the breathtaking view of Osmeña Peak, we headed to Southern Cebu's most visited Waterfalls, the Kawasan Falls! It's a weekday - a big Thursday but it was not a reason for Tourists and Locals to enjoy the cold water of the falls. It was a crowded Thursday but Cebu Media and Bloggers were still energized to hike from Level 1 going up to Level 3 of the waterfalls. If you happen to visit Kawasan many times, you would know that the path going up is not easy. It may look chill but roads were slippery and just a misplace landing of your foot means an injury. I am just very thankful we got Merrell Waterpro Maipo as it was safe to walk and trek. Aside from its very lightweight, Waterpro Maipo helps you run fast even on the wet or dry road as the mesh upper drains moisture and Air Cushion midsoles allow for amphibious ventures in the Maipo. Honestly, this is my new fave now!

If you read my blogs or follow me on social media, you would remember that special article I made for a certain Dentist here in Cebu. It is entitled "What this Dentist has been doing for 12 years is unbelievable!" It is special not because he is a good friend but because he went extra - he went out of his Clinic to extend his goal and dream as a Professional Dentist. And last August 12, 2019, his fellow co-Dentists who practices in Cebu and Mandaue, had acknowledged that actions and he was inducted as new President of Philippine Dental Associations - Mandaue Chapter. He is no other than, Doc. Xavier Gonzalez-Solis.

This 37-year-old Dentist is very passionate about his crafts. Aside from his yearly Charity Work which he purposely holds during his Birthday Month, he also blogs, an active Poseidon Dragon Boat Paddler and of course, a participative volunteer of LoveYourself, an HIV advocacy group. During his induction, the PDA-Mandaue president said, he said "Let’s go out of our clinics and make PDA Mandaue an avenue of learning, to enhance our knowledge, not just to be more compassionate and tactful in our treatment to our patients, but also to enrich our knowledge on topics that will make us better, wiser, well-rounded individuals." Indeed, he walks the talk!

And by going out of their clinics means riching out to communities. Doc. Xavier believes that every Dentist has a big role in society. He even supports the newly passed resolution entitled “Sugar Away and Let it Begin With Me”. This resolution mandates the banning of sugary drinks and desserts like cake and pastries in all PDA Mandaue related activities. In this way, Dentists can show to their patients and to the community that they are indeed good examples. Do you know eating high-sugar snacks can cause or leads to cavities? That's why Doc. Xavier wanted to exert the effort of this drive to Mandaue and to different sectors of the community. In addition, Dr. Xavier pushes and supports non-Dental related programs such as Zero Plastic use by being sensitive to the community and being always an environment-friendly Dentists, thus, he signed a resolution mandating to No single-use plastic in all PDA Mandaue activities. In this way, Dentists can be more proactive not just inside their clinics but also outside their zones by improving the society to be a healthier one, that is more aware, environmentally conscious and socially involved.

He has a good vision for PDA Mandaue. As a Dentist himself, he knows how stressful the work is so he wants to help other Dentists to treat themselves. He supports #TheDentistsAreOut Project, a project by PDA Mandaue encouraging dentists to have a break, enjoy and engage in activities outside our clinics to achieve a work-play balance. "We have partnered with various establishments that when we present our PRC ID, these partner establishments will give us perks & discounts! So yes! This gives us more reason to renew our PRC ID and yes again… this is not limited to PDA Mandaue members only, as long as you have an updated PRC ID you can avail the privileges." He added.



Doc. Xavier Gonzalez-Solis is a faculty of Gullas - College of Dentistry in Mandaue and manages his own clinic called Dr. Xavier G. Solis Dental Care Clinic and also the VP for Dental City - Center for Smile.

When I visited Seoul, Korea during Autumn (to Winter), Coffee is my best friend! I know, there's no Autumn or Winter here in the Philippines but when BER-months come, that means cold air is everyone. The best time for some drinks with friends and loved ones! It’s officially the perfect season for coffee-lovers as we transition into the coziest time of the year. With the chilly weather and with more customers seeking the comfort of a good cup of joe, this season marks the best time to explore and discover well-crafted coffee beverages from Starbucks!



While Pinoys may not experience crisp autumns at home, Starbucks is bringing everyone the smooth and creamy flavors of fall with their brand new beverages, handcrafted with heart, to enjoy during this cool time of the year. Available for a limited time only starting September 10.



A returning favorite is the Asian Dolce Latte, a drink which celebrates the classic Starbucks latte with a twist from the east. The Asian Dolce is made with rich shots of premium espresso. However, the added kick to the beverage is the specially-developed sweet dolce sauce which perfectly blends with creamy steamed milk, giving it a rich, velvety texture. For the final touch, the beverage is topped with Turkish coffee grounds.



Giving customers a taste of flavors from all over the world, Starbucks is also taking inspiration from the iconic Irish Cream Coffee by incorporating delicious Irish Cream to two indulgent beverages.



The Irish Cream Coffee Jelly Frappuccino® is an instant pick-me-up, crafted with signature Coffee Jelly Frappuccino® infused with Irish Cream, topped with a smooth and rich espresso whipped cream, and dusted with finely ground espresso powder. There’s also the Irish Cream Cold Brew, made with a custom blend of Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee, slow-steeped, then topped with a float of Irish Cream, creating a silky smooth coffee experience.

When I got this news, I got thrilled and excited! Finally, there's no need for Oponganons to travel to Mandaue or Cebu City coz we will be having four state-of-the-art Cinemas here in Lapu-Lapu specifically in Mactan Newtown! Property giant Megaworld is building a two-level mall along the beachside cliff of its 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown development in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.



With a total gross floor area of 30,000 square meters, the Mactan Newtown Beach Walk will be highlighted by a 1.4-hectare man-made lagoon at the center.

The lagoon will have floating boardwalks and a bridge that will connect both sides of the mall. With a maximum depth of around 1.5-meters, it can also serve as a venue for future water sports activities such as jet ski, wakeboarding, stand-up paddling, and boating. It will also have its own man-made shoreline at its perimeter.

The Mactan Newtown Beach Walk, which is designed and to be operated under the Megaworld Lifestyle Malls brand, will also have its own chapel that will be surrounded by a garden by the Cliffside, overlooking the sea.

It will also have four state-of-the-art cinemas, a Food Hall, alfresco areas, Traveler’s Lounge, and a view deck, allowing visitors and mallgoers to have a panoramic view of the sea and nearby islands.

Megaworld Lifestyle Malls is bringing a fresh, new concept of mall development in Cebu that recreates and innovates the beach lifestyle experience. We take inspiration from some iconic coastline commercial developments in South California, where visitors can enjoy coffee, meet friends over lunch or dinner, watch a movie, or simply shop around in this laid-back beach atmosphere,” explains Kevin L. Tan, chief strategy officer, Megaworld.

The mall complex will also have its three-story boutique hotel, offering 48 spacious guestrooms with retail shops at its ground level. This will be operated under the Megaworld Hotels brand.

True to its commitment to sustainability, Megaworld will use solar roof panels for this new mall and will utilize an open layout scheme for passive cooling and natural lighting in most of the development’s common areas.

Around 40% of the entire development will be dedicated to green and open spaces.

We will even have some untouched areas for bike trails, airsoft shooting, and tree-top activities. This part of the Mactan Newtown is abundantly surrounded with trees, and we want to keep them,” adds Tan.

Megaworld will spend P1.5-billion to build the Mactan Newtown Beach Walk, which is expected for completion in 2021.

The hills, which rise to 400 meters above sea level, are mostly covered in tropical perennial grasses commonly known as Cogon. These tall green grasses wave gently as the breeze passes, giving a soft furry-like appearance to the hills, which is composed primarily of metamorphic rock - the Alicia Schist, the oldest rock in Bohol (late Jurrasic - Early Cretaceous ) Many adventure-seekers enjoy trekking the ridge trails over the hills and the picture-perfect and stunning green scenery.

2. Because there's a joy of walking into the stores with a festive world of red and green. 

Yes, RED and GREEN! Two official colors of Christmas and in Starbucks, coffee lovers tagged that color with the ever flavorful Starbucks Christmas Blend!

Starbucks Philippines Christmas Planner Travel Organizer


For those who wish to brew the best flavors of the season from the comfort of their homes, Starbucks brings back the Starbucks® Christmas Blend, Starbucks® Christmas Blend Espresso Roast, and Starbucks® Christmas Reserve™.

Starbucks Christmas Blend
Starbucks Christmas Blend

For over 30 years, Starbucks has celebrated the holidays with the Christmas Blend. It offers distinct flavors of rare, spicy Sumatra beans, carefully aged to bring out deep notes of cedar balanced by a sweet, rich smoothness. Meanwhile, the Christmas Blend Espresso Roast offers a deeper, darker version of the Christmas Blend that is customized for espresso. This variant combines Latin American and Indonesian beans with rare aged Sumatra for a complex flavor profile with intense sweetness and herbal spiciness. The Starbucks Christmas Reserve, on the other hand, brims of an abundance of wonderful flavors of sweet mandarin, ginger and cedar spices so every sip taste like Christmas.


3.  Because your favorite Barista smiles at you and asks you if you wish to get some cake to pair with your coffee.

Greet the season with a hearty appetite by indulging in classic favorites that perfectly go with any Starbucks holiday beverage, like the Chocolate Crepe Cake with seventeen (17) layers of crêpe filled with Belgian chocolate cream, the Chocolate Chip Overload Cookie top full with dark and milk Belgian chocolate chunks and chips, the Belgian Chocolate Cake with its smooth and creamy mousse, and the White Chocolate Dream Cake with creamy speculoos filling topped with white chocolate cream icing.

This week is a tough journey of Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados as she determines to get the crown of this year's Miss Universe Pageant. This Cebuana beauty is already in Atlanta, Georgia to grace this prestigious competition. Filipinos are all eyes and ears and of course, supporting Gazini all the way to her journey to the crown as the Philippines wanted a back to back triumph with Catriona Gray as the winner last year.

Miss Universe Philippines Winners
Of course, it is not about competition all the time. These beautiful ladies also share the same sentiment and goals in their lives. Thus, some of them became friends and sisters. Ganados took the time to share the five Miss Universe candidates she loves to bond with after following their videos and social media content online. The lucky ladies are:

Frederika Cull
1. Frederika Cull, Miss Indonesia (@frederikacull)

Miss Indonesia Frederika Cull has a special place in Ganados’ heart after the former immediately congratulated her when she was crowned Miss Universe Philippines, but she wants to get to know her better after finding her online. “I looked at her Instagram and I saw how beautiful and sophisticated this lady is,” said Ganados. She also compliments the work Cull puts into working out and getting her body competition-ready, as well as the fact that she’s also a dog lover.

Zozibini Tunzi, Miss South Africa 
2. Zozibini Tunzi, Miss South Africa (@zozitunzi)

Ganados admits she chose Zozibini Tunzi as one of the people she’d like to meet because of their similar names. “The moment she won, all the pageant fans went crazy and started tagging me in her photos,” she shares. “I like her name—it’s so sassy, but so smooth at the same time.” She also admires Tunzi for her advocacies in women’s rights and equality, as well as her work in fashion.

Fahsai Paweensuda Drouin, Miss Thailand
3. Fahsai Paweensuda Drouin, Miss Thailand (@paweensuda)

Miss Thailand Fahsai Paweensuda Drouin and Ganados go back to when the former joined Miss Earth in 2017, and the latter rooted for her to win Miss Universe Thailand. “I’m so happy she’s going to be one of my sisters in this competition,” she says. “I’m pretty sure she will rock the universe.” Ganados compliments Drouin’s fierceness, elegance, natural looks, and her charity work.

Julia Horta, Miss Brazil 

4. Julia Horta, Miss Brazil (@juliahorta)

Ganados is excited to meet Julia Horta of Brazil because of her smiling and approachable demeanor. “I want to be her friend if she’s always smiling and bubbly,” she says. She also praises Horta for being into muay thai, which she also does, sports, as well as her fashion sense.


Gabriela Tafur, Miss Colombia 
5. Gabriela Tafur, Miss Colombia (@gabrielatafur)

Colombia’s Gabriela Tafur struck a chord immediately with Ganados the moment she saw her on Instagram. “The first thing that I noticed when I checked out her Instagram was her abs when she was on the beach,” she says, and shares that Tafur’s similarities to a friend is what personally makes her interesting. On a related note, Ganados is also in awe of Colombia for the beautiful ladies the country always sends to international competitions.

Arrival Story : Fun in Japan!

It was last January, right after the Hong Kong trip, I promised to visit my dream Asian Country, Japan. I then knew that two of my officemates loved to go too, so as they said, "the more, the merrier" and indeed, it was a 9-day full of happiness and joy in Japan. And this is my arrival story.

Japan-Travel-Arrival-Osaka
Me feeling chill at the Backpackers Hotel Toyo, Osaka, Japan
Originally, we were scheduled to depart by October 12, Saturday, but Typhoon Hagibis was very strong that time that Cebu Pacific Air advised canceling our Flight and of course, they were so accommodating that we were able to reschedule by October 14. So, yeah, that Monday was the most exciting of all Mondays ever!

Japan-Travel-Arrival-Osaka
Boarding  in a Shinkansen Train going to Osaka

Our flight was on time and we arrived at Narita International Airport by 6 plus in the evening. First on our mind was to exchange our JR Pass at the JR East Travel Service Center where you can also by Suica Card in case you just want to roam around Tokyo. IMPORTANT TIP: During JR Pass exchange, do not forget to ask the personnel on duty to reserve you a seat on the shinkansen train most especially if you are traveling directly from Tokyo to Osaka coz it's 4-6 hours of the trip.


What is JR Pass? For those who travel to Japan and wish to explore the country in 7 days or more, make sure to get or purchase JR Pass in Klook.  JR Pass or Japan Rail Pass is a rail pass specially design to boost tourism and travel throughout the country. JR Pass can only be used by Visitors or Tourists visiting Japan. It is available for 7, 14 or 21 day passes. The unlimited rides include Shinkansen or Bullet Train, JR Buses and if we are going to the famous Itsukushima Shrine, then we can ride free Miyajima Ferry. It has two types - ordinary and green car classes which are worth PHP 13,861 and PHP 18,686 respectively. For me, they are both the same except for Green Cars have spacious leg rooms and less crowded. But, being with people is part of the travel, right? So, I recommend getting the Ordinary Car for your trip. Nothing beats JR Pass as we'll experience riding one of the fastest bullet trains in Asia, the Shinkansen!

Flaunting my JR Pass card while Shinkansen train was approaching

Do you know why JR Pass is important if you are planning to visit a number of tourist destinations in Japan?

1. It is affordable. In just less than PHP 15K from Klook, you can already travel as far as Hiroshima if you are staying from #Tokyo or #Osaka in 7 days' validity. (Note: Tokyo - Hiroshima costs JPY 18380 one way ( PHP 10,211))
2. A lot of local trains are also part of the JR Service.
3. Easy to navigate within the station as they have large JR signs especially made for Tourists.
4. They have a special mobile app called NAVI TIME which you can check every time your planning to visit one of Japan's Travel spots. It works like Google Maps but much better for Japan Transportation.
5. They have a special lane for JR Pass users, thus, getting away from human traffic in the ticket lane.

TIP: You can watch my documentation on JR Pass exchange and other details on my VLOG Channel soon.

A Ramen I bought from Family Mart near our hostel. It was good too.
After the acquisition of JR Pass, we then headed directly to the Shinkansen train as we needed to arrive in our Hostel early for check-in. I designed our Itinerary and we decided to explore first the southern prefectures of Japan so that we can maximize our JR Pass.

Where to stay in Osaka? This is not a sponsored post because we paid fully the hostel but their service and accommodation are definitely one of Japan's best. We stayed at Backpackers Toyo Hostel which is situated at the center of Osaka. The hostel is very near to Don Quijote and some establishments not to mention my personal fave ramen place - Ramen Goku. Promise, it's the best!

A cute map posted in the waiting area of the hostel. It was very helpful in our search for good food.

I did not edit this food shot in Ramen Goku coz I want to show you the real photo. It was really really good.
