They work hard–and play even harder

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.
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.
“These make me want to build a new house” was an oft-heard sentiment the night Focus Global launched its showroom in Cebu.
It is no secret that Cebu has become a hub for expats the world over, and we couldn’t help but notice how the average import’s profile has changed over the years.
Admit it, yank tanks have always been cool despite the current un-Americanization of America, and you’ve always secretly had a thing for pick-up trucks minus the driver with the trucker tan.
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.
We asked some of Cebu’s passionate travelers for their top reasons to leave home and hit the road, just to see what’s out there. Their answers have stoked our wanderlust, and we hope they send you planning your next getaway also.
No one proves that youth is nothing but a state of mind quite as well as Butch Carungay does. For his birthday, the darling designer of Avatar Accessories and inarguably Cebu’s premier partyphile decided to forego his usual bar haunts and opted to celebrate at St. James Amusement Park, which his guests had all to themselves for the night.
