SOME WEAR power suits and power heels and rule in the corporate world, while others prefer more sensible flats and reign in their respective homes with all of Martha Stewart’s skills and none of her prison history.
The dire state of politics in this country has bred a generation of cynics, and we admit that sometimes we are among them.
Whether it’s Bryan Adams singing about the Summer of ’69 being the best days of his life, or jazz legend Billie Holiday crooning about how “the livin’ is easy” in Summertime, there’s certainly no other season as ode-worthy as summer. Even tropical folks like us who are no strangers to generally high temperatures all year round still get giddy at the thought of the sunniest season upon us.
Freedom, here we come—for four consecutive days, at least, this coming Holy Week. We simply cannot wait for a glorious respite from the daily grind and indulge in some free time to do something out of the ordinary, whether that is catching up on sleep—which we find is just so underrated in this day and age—going away on a holiday or spending it in prayer.
Bacchus must be pretty pleased with Cebu these days. Lately, the social scene here has been somewhat of an ode to the Roman god of wine and intoxication.
They say life’s a beach, and although not everyone will agree with that, it sounds like most Cebuanos do. Hypothetically, that proverbial glass is usually half-full down here. And in a more literal sense, if you’re Cebuano, though life may not always be a beach, at the very least, much of it will be spent on one.

With DwellStudio’s new exquisitely soft linens in pretty patterns and happy colors, it is now even harder to get out of bed. Snoozing the alarm clock for at least half an hour is now a morning ritual, if only to enjoy the comforts of the 400-thread count percale and sateen fabric bedding.
If the mark of a good brand is a good product, the mark of a great brand is a product that becomes more than what it is. Lest we get too philosophical here, let us make it clear that we’re talking about ice cream.
It can’t hurt to dream. Dreams after all allow us to meet people who we wouldn’t typically encounter or take us to places we wouldn’t normally get to on foot.
We all have our own top restaurant picks and the beloved dishes we keep going back to. We asked some of Cebu’s self-confessed gourmands for their top 3 go-to dishes in their favorite watering holes, the ones that make them just skip over the menu and with full conviction ask for it from the server.
WHILE OSCAR Wilde may have thought that youth was wasted on the young, The Northwing at SM City Cebu begged to differ as it celebrated the second year of Glitterati, an annual fashion show featuring young Cebu personalities.
