My whole team of 18 and I decided to spend our Saturday together for a team bonding activity. We wanted to do something else other than the usual lunch and movie. That's when we decided to go fishing. What?!?! Yes, you read that right. Fishing! Cebu is unique in that aspect. You can be as busy as a worker bee in the morning surrounded with all the noise in the city but can also be calm and relax like maybe go fishing in the afternoon of the same day. Liloan is only a 30-min drive away from Cebu City without heavy traffic.

As you may have guessed my age, I was not born on the 50s... LOL but would have loved to have lived there all the same. The ambiance of this restaurant at the newly opened J Center Mall is inspired by the 50s. And what better icon to link it with but the first model of the famous Beattle! The converted Beattle placed right inside the restaurant makes the ambiance very unique. Yes, that is Herbie wearing a 50 instead of 53.... and yes, that is me smiling to show you that you can choose to dine inside Herbie. Coolest, right?!

I had thought of buying my grandparents, tita/tito and their families, and neighbors with holiday hams for Christmas. The only bump to that idea was the fact that hams need to be kept cold during transport. Given the Cebu weather, that would prove very difficult to do. While I was looking around at a bazaar at IT Park last Christmas, I came across this wonderful invention that claimed to be safe and, in fact, have been widely used by countries such as Australia and New Zealand.

...as promised. Enjoy the pictures! :)

I am pretty picky with the dishes I eat when it comes to fish. I do not like to eat a fish that smells like fish. Odd, I know. Anyway, for lunch today, I thought of making a fish dish as a break from the cholesterol-heavy food during the holidays. It smells really good! Tastes delicious too. ^_^

Here's my version of the delectable fish adobo.

Yes, there is more to photography than setting your camera to Automatic mode for Point-and-Shoot convenience. Your photo actually looks better when you explore the power of your Digital SLR camera. I bet it will jumpstart your love for photography too. ^_^

Hello 2012!

It took me awhile to post this. I was hesitant. My resolutions have always been private to me. This year, I am making a change. I am making myself vulnerable to everyone. So call me out when I'm missing out on this list, k?! ^_^
