December 25th at Cebu's Little Amsterdam

The joy of Christmas is all about family. I am blogging how we celebrated Christmas apart from merry making for the yuletide season. Christmas of 2019, our whole family went to Sirao Garden Pictorial farm to celebrate Christmas. We don't travel together often because all of us are busy with our business and work commitments so we took advantage of this holiday vacation to spend quality time with each other. My eldest sister chose this site because the fields and flowers are closest to her heart. 

Sirao like what we all know is the Little Mini-Amsterdam of Cebu. It is situated in one of the mountainous barangays here in Cebu which is Busay. We were happy to see the flowers in its fullest bloom. And the best months to visit to see this site is around the months of November, December and January. Entrance fee only costs Php50.00 for adults and less for children. It is around 30 to 45 minutes drive from J.Y Square Mall in Lahug. If you want to go to this pictorial site, there are motorcycle drivers that will you to this site.

You may opt to take meal around Tops of Cebu afterwards. I remember there's a pizza shop and a desert cafe, Crate. They serve cakes, shakes and drinks. Other attractions in Tops are Temple of Leah and Buwakan ni Alejandria.

What you can expect from Temple of Leah is an elaborate Roman style temple which is a grand symbol of Teodorico Adarna to his wife Leah. This temple has 24 chambers designed mainly for the members of the family. Meanwhile, Buwakan ni Alejandria is another gorgeous flower farm and garden in Balamban.

Best of Camiguin

I am always in awe with God's marvels so I am writing again another natural gem in my country, the island of Camiguin. This is a volcanic island in Northern Mindanao that is bestowed with rich natural pleasures for its waterfalls, hot springs and island beach destinations.  Katibawasan Falls There are direct domestic flights from international airports in our country such as Manila International Airport and Mactan Cebu International Airport to the "Island of Fire". This island is also a boat ride away from Cebu nautical ports. First hot spring is "Ardent Hotspring". What awaits visitors is a tranquil experience because of its thermal water . It sits directly at the foot of Mt.Hibok-Hibok and is surrounded by lush forests. Another tourist destination is Mambukal which is made up of three sulfur pools and two swimming pools .  Ardent Hotspring Camiguin is also rich in waterfall destinations. Among these waterfalls I personally witness "Katibawasan Falls...

Dining in at Gustoso Pizza Shop

When I am in my hometown  Gustoso pizza and pasta serves its customers with authentic pasta dishes.  A pinch of bite of their carbonara, spaghetti, and benne is flavorful. Their boxes of delightful pizza flavors vary. I am loyal to their Hawaiian pizza.  For those who want a decent meal I must say that their pork chicken dishes are satisfying. It's atmosphere is nostalgic. Dining in with friends is fun. Taking pictures of our food is happiness. When I am in our province, I sleep before 10:00pm. The environment is not stressful unlike the big challenge of the city life which is the long commute because of traffic. I care about my mental health so I am taking it into consideration living in one of the municipalities of South Cebu cause I get close to nature. Nature gives us hope that no matter how heavy our problems reading a book in any genre beside a living plant on a coast gives us a positive outlook in life.  Depression can hit people whether they like it or not i...
