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.

Short weekend getaway in Samal Island

Samal island is one of the favorite tourist attractions in the Philippines. I have known since I was a kid that Davao City takes it pride in producing durian fruits and candies. Francisco Bangoy International Airport is domestically accessible within key cities of Manila, Clark, Palawan, Caticlan, Iloilo, Cebu, Bacolod or Zamboanga.  Davao City is the safest metropolis in the country and the gateway to other beautiful destinations in the land of promise. In Magsaysay Park, you can buy durian, pomelo, mangosteen and marang. My message to UP students is to stop spreading rumors and nonsense memes that lead nowhere for wellness sake.  durian park There are available tour packages if you want to view the breathtaking scenic overview of Mt.Apo and revisit our country's history. It is the 24th highest peak on Earth, also known as the father of Philippine mountains. A merry park to visit in Davao City is Camp William. You can also visit People's park and the Davao City Museum.  Herel

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 if their circums
