We arrived Mactan airport on Friday at around 10:30 pm.
Our gorgeous bestie Jas and her boyfriend Rap picked us up and
we went straight to Maya, a Mexican restaurant to grab some late night dinner.

Jon and Ichi joined us and damn, it was one crazy night full of stories and jokes!
It was a mojito kind of night and it felt like college all over again.
We left the place at around 3 am in the morning! Good Times Indeed :)

Late-night catchup with these guys :) photo from @jassiewassy 💜 #crazy #reunion #Cebu #weekend #sinulog

It's my 3rd time in Cebu, yet my first time to experience Sinulog.
So the blogger in me felt like sharing with you snippets of what it is all about.

We attended a Procession last Saturday.
This was how jampacked it was.

Millions of people. Amazing #faith 💜 #sinulog #Cebu #procession #StoNino

Oh what Faith can do. Truly amazing.
Sinulog Festival is held in honor of the Sto Niño every 3rd Sunday of January.

Sunday is when the Grand Celebration begins. Expect to get wet and wild, literally.
So wear something fun, light and comfortable.

Ready for #Sinulog 💜 #matching #twinning with @happyechie :) #Cebu #smile

To demonstrate, this top was once a shirt,
 but I cut and styled it according to my preferred look.
Special thanks to my artsy friends for helping out :)

This look I created can be worn in 3 ways:
A sleeveless shirt as shown above,
an offshoulder top like so

or a one-shoulder top as you deemed fit.

It's all a matter of creativity. 

Checkout Echie's look! Simply Fabulous!

Now that we are ready, off to somewhere fun! :)

And yes, I'll reiterate, you'll get really dirty along the way :)

This is the Grand Parade where you'll find the most colorful costumes.

And now, let the Street Dancing begin :))
Thanks dear Jas for the photos

My friends and I attended Sinulog Royals 2016 at Alejandro's Century Plaza.

Thank you Jas for taking care of us. I know I've been saying this repeatedly,

but someone like you is rare to find and I am beyond grateful that

we have been best of friends all these years. I will always have your back :)

It was truly a night of merriment. Crazy but full of love.

Definitely one for the books.

Here's DJ Kirby to cap off my post :)

Love,

The Weekender

 Hello readers! As we start another week, I'm bringing you some good vibes with 

today's fashion post plus a special feature of a dining place for food enthusiasts.

For a casual weekend look, 

start by choosing a dress with interesting cuts and a neutral color like so.

Then pair it with your favorite heels and sunnies to complete the ensemble.

And voila, you have created a simple yet sophisticated look.

As promised, here's a restaurant that you should try out.

TuanTuan Chinese Brasserie opened last October 2014 in SM Megamall

and up until now, mall goers have been flocking to this place,

with most days still being fully-booked.

I'll let the photos do the talking.

US Premium Beef Rib Curry

Specialty Noodle Soup Combos

Pan-fried Boneless Chicken in Teriyaki Sauce

Fish Fillet with Pumpkin and Crabstick in Creamy Sauce

Crispy Barbecued Pork Snow Buns

If you're a food-lover like me, then this place is a must try for your taste-buds.

Experience Hong Kong in Manila. 

Amongst all the food on my table, I personally love the Beef Rib Curry,

the Pan-fried Boneless Chicken and of course the Pork Buns! 

It took about 45 minutes for the snow buns to come out but it was worth the wait :)

Love lots and until the next post,
