Cebu City Heritage Tour Day 1

Have you ever felt how it is to be on a heritage tour even on your own place? Last August 21 and 31, 2009, Cebu Bloggers Society went on a heritage tour of Cebu City.

Cebu City is the oldest city in the Philippines and is hailed as the Queen City of the South. The city itself, though not very large in size, holds a lot of historical memories that dated even to the time of the Spaniards. I still remember our international project in high school entitled Calles de Cebu which means Streets of Cebu. It won gold but unfortunately, the website isn’t up anymore. Being on that project made me realize that Cebu is not only Cebu because of the Lapu-lapu-Magellan tandem but because of the many historical figures and events that graced this long living community.

This heritage tour, organized by Atty. Ouano includes a video footage of us, the bloggers, giving out lines (e.g. We will impress this message upon our political leaders that we now have this individual and collective political will. We implore our leaders to take heed) that relate to protecting nature and society as a whole. We call this project (or maybe advocacy?) Expression of Individual and Collective Will. Continue reading

Experiencing First Bite: A Blogger Lifestyle Party

Have you ever been to a lifestyle party? What’s a lifestyle party by the way? Eh, I don’t know. But last August 14, 2009, AboitizLand invited Cebu Bloggers Society and SkyscraperCity Forums Group to an event they called First Bite: A Blogger Lifestyle Party in the clubhouse of Pristina North in Talamban. This exclusive event was attended to by 17 bloggers from CBS (18 originally invited) and a few from SkyscraperCity. So what’s the event all about? It’s showing what AboitizLand’s got to offer the urban community of Cebu.

CBS came on time, not as usual. :mrgreen: The gorgeous staff of Aboitiz welcomed us and ushered us to the registration table. We were then told that we were to wait for the others and are free to roam the clubhouse. After taking a look at the event area, we were ushered to a miniature model of the whole of Pristina North where everything about it was explained and shared to us. A few jotted down notes. I didn’t. I was taking pictures. We were also introduced to AboitizLand’s current project, Persimmon, condominiums in Mabolo, Cebu City. Continue reading

Cookout, Larsian, IT Park: A Weekend of Blasts!

I had a really tiring but fun weekend last week. :grin: Â I just notice how I fill my weekends with events and get-togethers. And usually with bloggers. :lol:

Last August 7, 2009, UP Cebu celebrated the annual Cookout. That was my first time to invite my Cebu Bloggers Society friends to come over and spend the whole night-til-morning partying event with me. Partying’s an overstatement though. Anyways, Cookout 2009 wasn’t the best Cookout that I’ve been to. If I were to spend that night alone or I don’t know who else with, it should have been ‘bad trip’ mode. But my friends were there to join me in laughing and wow-ing the performances on stage. Well, more of the laugh and side insults :twisted: .
