It’s been a long time since I last set foot in Cebu and wow, how I’ve missed it. My last visit here was such a chaotic, drama-filled ride that it felt like a teleserye. That’s why, before doing anything else—before making trips, detours, and foodie stops, I knew I had to visit Sto. Niño Church first. I wanted to say my prayers, give thanks and reflect on the journey and lessons life has handed me. ❤️

I was able to travel to Siargao in January of last year for work. But before I even started talking about the delicious cuisine I had in Siargao, I couldn’t help but share my delight when I saw a Siargao tricycle as soon as I stepped out of the airport. Another one for my trike collection! (Check out my trike adventures here…) I felt like a kid in a candy store with another trike added to my list, woohoo! 🤩😍
Our 10,000 step challenge with my nieces turned into a hilarious scramble! Every scenic spot, like the beautiful mangrove river view and even a charming corner of the plaza that reminded me of Baguio, became a photo op. We grabbed cheap iced coffee (mine for 39 pesos, theirs sans caffeine!), then settled by the baywalk to capture the fiery sunset.

As if there’s no pizza in Cebu, LOL.😋) Then he suggested that we go for a swim at the beach and then look for a pizza place. I agreed, but then I had a better idea. (Ding! Lightbulb moment 💡, haha 😆)
“Why don’t we do both together?” I asked. “We can have pizza by the beach!”

Last week, I decided to cut out sugar. I had been feeling some unpleasant symptoms already (HAHA gor na me! 🥹) and I was proud of myself for reaching seven days without it. I still ate rice, though, and drank coffee, but I didn’t add any sugar. I felt great after seven days! I had more energy, my skin cleared up, and I lost a few pounds. I’m going to continue cutting out sugar, and I’m excited to see how I feel in a few weeks.
