Highlighting 2011 Part II: Travelling

This is the second part of my 2011 highlights and my favorite parts of the year that make me realize that I could probably be a travel and food blogger in Cebu me self – but certainly not as good as my idol, Estan or Enrico or Anton Diaz, and Sinjin.

Ah, who could ever forget the series of beaches, sunbeds, canopy beds and sunsets that I have had affairs with last year? In the first month of 2011, the gang trooped to Hilton Hotel Cebu, the last quarter of the hotel’s pinkiness before it was turned into Movenpick Cebu.

With the best setting, the perfect weather and the busog high after a Sutukil lunch, it was the perfect weekend for a fun shoot. The Hilton Cebu was turned into one production setting that day! Thank you to our photographer friends who indulged us that day. Yves did the styling, Joy and Aoi modeled while the rest of us goofed around!

Come Valentines week, the boyfriend and I wanted to do an annual Valentine-in-Boracay thing and started that tradition in 2011. I cannot stress this enough – the weekend after Chinese New Year or the second weekend in February is the perfect season to be in the island especially when people go to Boracay for New Years and Summer – less people means lesser queues and if there are lesser queues then it means everything is not expensive!

When we went parasailing in Boracay, the rates were still 1200 each. Peak season charges are twice that price. Publishing a few photos from this travelogue – Continue reading »

Philippine Blog Awards 09 at the City Sports

This will be my first Philippine Blog Awards Night since its establishment three years ago! The event is set to be held at the Ayala City Sports Club this Sunday, Oct 18. I wanted to meet the CebuBloggers for the second time because the first time we met, there really wasn’t time to get to know everyone. There are so many of them! Good luck also to the nominees and the finalists. I’ve judged the Best Visayas Locale Blog by the way. Just keep yourself posted for the winners. You wouldn’t want me to give it away, would you? *Wink* Congratulations also to Elyoo! I judged and pined for her to win the Best Fashion Blog. Her site was neat and clean even if she was only using the WordPress default template. I think blogsites that have a lot of ads and flash content in it hurt me eye. Or I think I’m getting old. Anyhoo… Elyoo’s content posts were original and very local-Manila-Fashion-that-is-rich -in-flavor. I hardly follow fashion blogs that have a lot of “Hollywood” content in it. The best fashion blogs are always local, yes, local and uniquely Filipino. Again, congratulations to Elyoo and of course, the rest of the finalists for the Best Fashion Blogs!

This Sunday, I want to see (and I’m tagging them, here) boyfriend Beejing, the Obnoxious Queer, Orville, Karen, Sinjin, Vernon and Rod. Oh, I realized I don’t have that many friends. Now what is Stylecebu’s problem now? What to wear and Who to Wear! Haha. See you all!
