Halloween Costumes In Cebu That Will Definitely Entertain Us

$

0
Before the most celebrated Holiday of all time, the Christmas Season, people all over the world had partied hard and did some trick-or-treating last October 31 as we feted All Hallows' Eve. As expected, part of this world-wide affair is the Halloween Costumesin which party goers were crazy in preparing their stuff, doing some make-up and most of all, practicing the right attitude of the character they disguised for that night.


Now, for a little History, Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time, in the United States the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses.[Wikipedia] And here in Cebu, our Cebuano friends were amazing in their Halloween Costumes that will surely entertain us every time we see their photos.

Check these Halloween Costumes of Cebuanos that trended in our Social Media Timeline.

Okay, Let's start from popular characters like Joker, Yesh Jason Amodia Tagsip is Joker!!!



Yes, Cebu has our Marvel's version of Storm and Beast, check out Ben Goc-ong Leyson as Storm with his friend, Beast!!



Okay, so how about Disney's Maleficent? No, Jamel Unico below is not Maleficent but a Horny Barbarian? No wait, we mean a Barbarian with horn....Agree!?



Okay, speaking of Disney's Maleficent, check out Jahil Rabadon Murillo as Maleficent!! Pretty amazing!!!



Let's bring the dead back to life, how about Marc De Asis's version of Tutankhamun? Cool!!!



Speaking of Skulls, check out Cebu's Food/Personal Blogger Michael Karlo in his skeleton's way of spending Halloween!!!!



Tired of dead and skulls? Check out Janese-Manabat bloody nurse in action! Scary!!!!



And since we talk about nurse, check Leonelle Balbona as he rises from the dead with his Cancer disease!!! That Attitude, nice!!!!

And yesh, with his bloody nurse, lookie!!!
Can you even work at the office with this guy checking you out???!!!! Scary!!!


And for us, Elmo Andrae nailed it! The best Zombie Cebuano so far!!!!!


Wait, Cebu has it's version of scary Dolls, check out Jamboi and his Doll friend, we found them cute!!!



No word can describe, but scary Melrose Estares nailed it with her "not-so-scary-but-cutie" doll!!



And to end this with lighter version of Halloween Costume, how about Jon Aguilar's version of Princess Sarah? That simple costume. the attitude, wig and of course, are those potatoes? He killed it!!! Crazy!!!!

The Queen City of the South Finally Meets Her King

In this bustling city known for many things, like guitars, Lechon, Magellan and Lapu-lapu, beautiful churches and of the most famous festivals known as Sinulog, there still seemed to be something missing - that is, until today.


Cebu City, the oldest city in the Philippines and the main center of commerce, industry, education and trade in the Visayas now welcomes a truly global burger brand leader that operates over 13,000 restaurants all over the world.

Burger King if finally in Cebu City - in fact, it is finally in the Visayas as it opens its very first restaurant outside of Luzon!

Cebuanos, who have had to make do with average-tasting burgers in the past, now get to complete their taste experience by opening its doors to the Home of the Whopper, the signature burger of Burger King.


As the only flamed-grilled burger in the market, the Whopper is always extra juicy and ensures that it locks in the flavor to create the best burger experience that guests from Cebu can now enjoy. Aside from the classic Whopper, Burger King has also brought its famous 4-Cheese Whopper to the Philippines. A favorite of cheese lovers, the 4-Chese Whopper - which is overflown with 4 kinds of cheeses - is the only burger that lets you experience what a cheeseburger should taste like.

All Burger King burgers are made of 100% pure beef patties and the highest quality procedures and standards as all ingredients pass the strictest quality checks that are executed globally.

People in the Visayas have waited long enough to experience something better with their burgers. And with Burger King now part of their food scene, the brand will definitely attract burger lovers and foodies alike, to savor burger goodness at its finest that is truly world-class.


The first Burger King branch in Cebu is located at the 4th Level of Ayala Center Cebu. It is the 40th Restaurant of Burger King here in the Philippines.

The King has arrived to finally meet its Queen.

Bag-ong tuig
Bag-ong kinabuhi
Duyogan ta sa atong gibati
Atong awiton ug atong laylayon
Aron magmalipayon!

Yes, we got two entries to Binibining Pilipinas 2015! Last year, Cebu's Delegates to National Pageants did very well. Let's say some names - Ms. Jamie Herrell who was crowned as Miss Earth Philippines 2014 and the international crown itself, Miss Earth 2014. How about Steffi Aberasturi who was named as Reyna ng Aliwan 2014? Do Kris Tiffany Janson ring a bell? She did awesome at Binibining Pilipinas 2014 and won a crown of Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Intercontinental and internationally as Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner Up. How about Eva Psychee Patalinjug? She took Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia Pacific International 2014 title. And to mention the Male side of beauty pageant, our very own Judah Cohen was titled as Mister Tourism International Philippines 2014 and will soon contest in the international scene for Mister Tourism International 2015 in Panama. Indeed, Cebuanas/Cebuanos did very well in this Niche - beauty pageant! Now, who's excited to know our National bets for Binibining Pilipinas 2015?

First, we have Namrata Neesha Lucero Murjani who is Half-Indian and Half-Filipina (cebuana) who was named Miss Cebu 2013 during her 20th birthday. Her unique skin tone and killer smile are the keys to her journey on Binibining Pilipinas 2015 pageant. She is under Aces & Queens group and her beauty will surely stand out. By the way, Neesha looks like Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih,now that's a hint! XD

Then we have Rogelie Catacutanwho recently won Miss Casino Filipino 2014. She was groomed by Jonas Borces from team Kagandahang Flores Cebu for the upcoming Binibining Pilipinas 2015. She's 5’8″ tall and with that versatile face, she might have a place for a crown on this year's BB. Pilipinas. She was part of Top 12 Finalist of Miss World Philippines 2011 in which the crown was won by Gwendolyn Ruais.
