    A Day In My Life: I went to Cebu for a day just to go food tripping

    Okay, I went there to conduct a training for our field associates as part of my corporate job based in Makati. It was a full day training, however, my part ran for just two to three hours. Trainings for the rest of the day was all operational that I was not involved in anymore. I stayed there, listening and observing, for a couple more hours then I finally got bored and excused myself. I know they didn’t want a Compliance person there anyway. Charot. I’ve been doing the same job for six years already (as of writing) in different industries, so I am used to short travels and quick stays (or…

    House of Lechon: carcar and beyond!

    Aside from its historic and very beautiful tourist spots, Cebu is also famous for their lechon – a roasted suckling pig. Lechon is a well-known Filipino dish, but it actually originated in Spain and only adapted and loved in the Philippines back in its Hispanic days. In the old days, people use baby pigs for lechon. It’s only now that we see bigger pigs roasted in sticks. But in my opinion (and this may sound awkward), roasted baby pigs are yummier than adult pigs.

    We literally opened the doors of La Vie Parisienne and had wine for coffee!

    I went to Cebu for a quick training which I normally do ever since I started my corporate job. What’s not usual is me going on a food trip instead of visiting tourist spots like parks, museums, temples, churches, etc. This time, I spent my day just eating all the pagod away and it was just as fun as you could imagine. #SanaAll. After breakfast (at H Cafe in Harold’s and Tablea Chocolate Cafe), my friend and I busted La Vie exactly one minute before opening. We literally opened La Vie’s doors that morning. I mean, Dan literally had the key and opened the doors of La Vie. He’s not…
