A Noble Man's Regret...

I read this letter everyday to remind myself how to live my life with no regrets.

Letter written by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche - one of the great minds of history and philosophy...I admire all his works, visions and ideas. Spent his life in pursuit of freedom, wisdom and happiness...only to die with sorrow and regrets...

I know now, like I did then, that life is not just about accomplishments, wealth and fortune, fame and recognitions...It is about crying yourself to sleep at night and waking up in the morning with smile on your face like nothing happened that night before...It is about having a crazy family and being happy with it just because, of course, no one can understand your craziness better than they do...It is about accepting your imperfections because you know somebody will love you the way you are...It is about doing some random stupid stuff while you still can because you know nothing last forever...It is about love, hope, sorrow, faith and happiness...all emotions that makes us all human....You and I will not live forever...let's just make sure that when our life flashes before our eyes, it is worthwhile to see...


I'll make sure I will never write anything like this before I die... I hope...

Gluttony at the Park

It was last Friday night at a Restobar my friend suggested months before we had our visit in Cebu. The Restobar is very popular in the Metro, so popular that we were 3rd on the waiting list. There were many foreigners and locals waiting as well.

This is their the Walk , IT Park Branch, I think they have two branches here in Cebu City

We had our table after almost an hour and I ordered this whooping 9-inch burger served with fries. Bet I can never finished this all by myself, or even half of it, or even a quarter. It came with instruction : Need to be Shared..jk!! but really you can never consumed that burger on your own, my friend tried. For only PhP388, I think I can't stand the smell, look and taste of burger for months...Wait, they also serve 12-inch burger, 1 kilo of meat patty...like wth!!

Look at that burger!

We sliced it like a pie.

After the "Big Bang Burger" - its name, my sister treated the group with this oversized dessert called "Death by Chocolate". Chocolate inside out, from the chocolate ice cream interior, to the chocolate cookie crust, dipped in chocolate and finished with chocolate syrup. Oh my! Did I say chocolate?...but I think PhP148 is much for this chocolate ice cream cake dessert.

Death by Chocolate

*sugar rush*...I already consumed my recommended calories for 3 days. I better not eat until then...jk!

Cheapest Way to travel from Dumaguete to Cebu V/V

Because my flight going back to Manila from Catarman last August was moved to the following day, the Airline Company offered  a round trip ticket valid for one year to any of their domestic destinations. Yepey!! It will be used to my long time plan to visit Cebu City to visit my sister again.

Unfortunately, the Airline Company no longer serves flight from Manila to Cebu. I was so sad that I called the Airline Costumer Service Hotline with angst. I was so disappointed but it didn't slow me down. I checked all possible ways to go to Cebu on time. I've learn the possibility of inter island routes with less expenses of course. Dumaguete and Cebu seems to be the best choice. Problem solved, moreover I got a chance to visit two islands. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Hehe! I was so excited.

From NAIA T3, it took one hour and ten minutes to land to Sibulan Airport (Dumaguete City).

Dumaguete from my plane's window

Just outside the Airport Building

There will be tricycle or taxi drivers that will approach you, they will persistently offer a ride for PhP100-120 going to the city or Sibulan Port. But I'll advise you to just walk a little until you reach the airport gate, only about 50 meters from the airport building, there will be buses and easyrides (multicabs) going to Dumaguete City (left) going to Sibulan Port (right) for only PhP10.    

 The Governor on bike welcomes us...

Almost outside, if you're bound to Sibulan Port for fastcraft DO NOT CROSS the street.

Easyrides will take you to the passenger fastcraft, just about 50meters from that spot.

After the misleading direction experienced in Dumaguete City, at last I arrived at the Sibulan Port. This is cheapest way to travel from Dumaguete to Cebu v/v. With only PhP62-70, from Sibulan Port you'll reach Liloan, Santander, Cebu in 30 minutes. From Liloan Pier, Ceres Bus (most popular bus line in Cebu and Dumaguete) or L-300 Vans awaits travelers going to Cebu City, fare is only PhP150-169. Travel time will be 3.5 - 4 hours  from Santander to Cebu South Bus Terminal.

Finally, I arrived at my sister's flat and started our Cebu trip with dinner at Cebu's famous barbecue binge destination, Larsian.

Going back to Dumaguete City : At the Cebu South Bus Terminal (Ceres Bus Line have hourly departure to Oslob, Liloan Port, etc - PhP169) - At Liloan Pier (fastcraft departs every 30 minutes - PhP62 going to Sibulan Port) - At Sibulan Port (Easyrides and tricycle awaits, easyride's fare is only PhP10 going to the Airport and Php12 to Dumaguete City)...
