SINULOG – The feast of the Blessed Senior Sto. Niño

SINULOG – The feast of the Blessed Senior Sto. Niño

The display of little colorful flag-lets that hang over the major streets of Cebu City, gives a distinction that the city is celebrating the Feast of the Patron Saint of Cebu, the Blessed Sto. Niño (Christ Child). Actually, in my own personal understanding, the Burnt Holy Child of Jesus could not be considered as saint because Jesus Christ is of Godly nature. But since, it has been accustomed that the patron saint of Cebu is Sto. Niño, that’s why I am using the title.

The celebration / feast happens during the third day of the first month of the year, which is January. This year, the Sinulog Festival happens today, January 18, 2009. Thousands of devotees, tourist (both local and international), international and local media, celebrities, politicians, and prominent personalities, come to witness this once in a year event and flock here in Cebu City.

The feast focuses on the burnt image of the Christ child Jesus, which was discovered by a Spanish soldier during the Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines on the remains of a burnt settlement decades ago. The Child image of Jesus Christ gained its reputation because of its miraculous nature.

The feast starts with a fluvial procession that reenacts the entrance and arrival of the Spaniards and Roman Catholicism in the country. Followed by the world famous presentation of street dance, offering, parade, and celebration, the Sinulog Mardi Gras. With colorful costumes, participants from all over the country compete for the Best Sinulog Based Participation category, which includes best in interpretation of the Sinulog concept, theme, and history.

The criteria includes:

• Theme, Concept / Ritual 10% - relevance to Sinulog, choice of material as to musicality, movement qualities and expressions, clarity of message and interpretation to dance movement.
• Performance ----------------------------- 25% - precision and coordination, fluency, alignment, balance, focus, projection, rhythmic and spatial interest
• Choreography --------------------------- 25% - creativity and artistry of steps and formation, style and expression.
• Costume ---------- --------------------- 20% - artistic choice of color and style, effective use of props relevant to the interpretation of the theme / concept / ritual.
• Props --------------------------------- 10% - Effective use of props relevant to the interpretation of the theme/ritual.
• Sinulog Musicality ---------------------- 10%
• TOTAL ------------------------------------- 100%

The Sinulog festival is also a time for both young and old, to enjoy and celebrate. Some household, prepare modest meals for the expected and the unexpected guest that would visit Cebu to celebrate the fiesta. Colorful souvenirs, accessories, and shirts, flood the side streets, to meet the demands of potential customers and buyers. Every restaurant offer their own kind of marketing strategy, such as hiring a playing song band, that would attract costumers to their establishment. Hotels are fully booked and occupied. With unlimited places and parties to go to, Cebu City has become a venue for fun, entertainment, and leisure.

For most Cebuanos and the rest of the Filipino people, the essence remains the same for today’s celebration and that is to celebrate, give thanks, and honor, our Protector, Provider, Healer, and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Thanks for reading, I hope you would post your comment and share you insights about this topic. I would be posting some amateur pictures after the parade, so in order to keep you updated, please do subscribe to my blog. Here.

Pit Senyor everyone and Happy Fiesta Cebu!!!

Mesothelioma – Cancer from Asbestos Exposure

Mesothelioma – Cancer from Asbestos Exposure

Source Wikipedia:
Mesothelioma - is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the heart,[1] the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart) or tunica vaginalis.

Read more here for Mesothelioma diagnosis and general info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelioma

I am writing this post, to raise awareness regarding the use of exhaust (mufflers) and gasketsi n motorcycles with asbestos on it. We don’t know the long-term effect for this type of product. Asbestos as we know can cause cancer, and therefore if present on air, may expose ourselves to lung cancer if inhaled.

Friendster Virus – LOL Message

Friendster Virus – LOL Message

Recently I just received a message from one of my friends on Friendster. The subject was LOL, when I opened the message it took me to a site similar to Youtube. At first, I thought it was YouTube but when I looked again it was spelled in a wrong way “YuotTube” with the U and O interchanged. The address also on the address bar was way too different. The site asked me to download a file “setup.exe” in order to watch the video that was displayed. Which of course is a virus, and if downloaded, would definitely put your computer at risk. And every time you open your Friendster, it would send spam messages to all your friends, without you knowing it.

If you ever come across this site, don’t download the said file, close your browser right away. Inform your friend about the message that you received, and inform him or her to change his password right away. Lets all inform our friends about this stuff that are abusing Friendster. Lets make Friendster a safe and fun place. Thanks for reading.

Manny Paciquiao Wins Over Oscar De La Hoya 8 rounds

Manny Paciquiao Wins Over Oscar De La Hoya 8 rounds



It has been proven, Manny Pacquiao is the no.1 Pound for Pound boxing king! After the 8th round, de la Hoya’s corner decided to stop the fight. Making Manny Pacquiao live up for his title as the Mexican Assassin. Since round 1, Pacquiao was already sending punches coming from nowhere. The punches were so fast and strong that de la Hoya wasn’t able to see it coming. Punches were so quick that you think they did not connect, but right after every fight, in slow motion, the punches hit hard. Beating de la Hoya’s face.

"We knew we had him after the first round," Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said. "He had no legs, he was hesitant and he was shot."

Manny Pacquiao’s punch combinations were extraordinary, left and right, hitting both. While Oscar wanted to create a combination, Manny was so quick to avoid it. Giving no way for Oscar to gain control of the game.

If Oscar De La Hoya did not stop at round 8, Oscar would surely hit the canvass at round 9, since starting from round 6, Oscar barely throw punches anymore.

"My heart still wants to fight, that's for sure," De La Hoya said. "But when your physical doesn't respond, what can you do? I have to be smart and make sure I think about my future plans." Does it mean it’s the end of Oscar de la Hoya’s career?

I want to extend my congratulations to our New Filipino hero for winning this fight, and satisfying millions of Filipinos of different ages. We are very proud of you Manny Pacquiao!

Now, who do you think would be Manny Pacquiao’s next match? Whoever it may be, rest assured the audience will definitely enjoy the game if it is Manny who is inside the ring.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy!!

The Terraces - Ayala Center Cebu

The Terraces Ayala Center Cebu

Ayala Center Cebu, one of the biggest mall destination here in Cebu finally opened another exciting and new place to venture, The Terraces. As Cebu Holdings President Francis Monera said in a press conference, “We named it The Terraces because one will walk through a terrace-like ambiance that gives you the feel of being in a resort.”

Having my first step inside reminds of the first time I set foot at Greenbelt malls. The uniquely designed railings, curved nicely to make it look like your very own terrace and those strips of wood (I don’t know what its exactly called) that covers the stairways were much like that of Makati’s Greenbelt malls.




As far as I could remember on my college days, this place was a lagoon filled with green still waters. Now its filled with life and green plants. Not to mention the people that come and goes there, to dine, to take a stroll, relax, drink coffee, enjoy the view, and meet new people. As for me and my daughter, it’s a place to pass time away, took some pictures of the place, and make her go running around safely.

Here are some photos I took, not a good catch though, but its enough to make you wanna go there yourself. Enjoy everyone!

FROM THE SHOWCASE

Criselda Volks Scandal Controversial Video

I can’t believe it myself, another hot video search is burning over the internet wires. This time from a controversial teenage celebrity.

Criselda Volks once surfaced on the news on her suicide attempt, drinking detergent soap and liquid bleach. And now with this alleged video sex scandal with Malaysian boyfriend.

As what did Ogie Diaz wrote in his column (Phil Journal):

Kung ilalarawan ang napanood naming apat na video ay “nakakaawa” talaga si Criselda Volks.
Hindi maipagkakailang siya ’yung nasa video na nakahiga sa kama at “sinasamantala” ng isang Malaysian.
Gusto naming murahin nang bonggang-bongga ’yung lalaki, dahil “nagamit” na nga niya ’yung katawan nu’ng babae, talagang kinunan pa niya ng video.
Ginawa nitong “bading” si Criselda.

Honestly, hanggang ngayon, natutulala pa rin kami kapag naaalala namin ang video na ipinakita sa amin. Parang gusto pa rin naming maniwala na hindi si Criselda ’yon at hindi rin siya ’yung nakatuwad na babaing may maliit na tattoo sa kanang pisngi ng puwet.

According to an interview, Criselda did admit she was the one in the video. She did not expected it to come out.

Yellow Caterpillar Roll - Sushi

Yellow Caterpillar Roll

It was a quite day at the hotel, another time for creativity. Rolled a cucumber and crabmeat stick on a large piece nori, topped it with sweet ripe mangoes, then dressed up to look like a caterpillar. Cut a piece of olives for the eyes and black sesame seeds for the dotted look on the body. Creating this type of Maki Roll is fun and it adds another creation to the dynamic and ever changing style of making Sushi.

Waterfront Food Quality System Seminar

To arrive home early, this is what I got for attending the Waterfront Food Quality System. Other than getting home early, I also gained plenty of thoughts and additional info about the topic. Also, the best thing is getting paid for work for two days attending the seminar, not a rough life is it? Hope it would be seminar the whole month round!

Before I had the seminar, I did not know that the issue of food safety is that delicate and that it should be given utmost attention. Take for example; by just washing your hands before and during work you would be able to prevent the spread of phatogenic bacteria, which if taken internally may lead to a food borne illness. No wonder, Hand Washing is in the top list on the policies imposed.

Bacteria are microbiological organism that is unseen in our naked eye. Some are harmless and some are harmful enough that it could even paralyze and kill. Grrr. Bacteria could be transmitted in many different ways, and the food that we take are always at stake. And if not transmitted, it could grow on the food itself. Oh my, good thing our body is enough to handle a few amounts of it inside. However, if this amount exceeds its limit, it’s another story.

Luckily, because of HACCP, these food borne illnesses could be prevented or minimized. A reliable food safety is already being practiced; Waterfront Hotels in particular has its own way of reacting to this hazard.

HACCP or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point is the main core of the system. Because of this internationally used system, when it comes to food safety, the Waterfront Food Quality Manual is derived. On this manual are policies listed to guide every individual (in or outside the hotel, which is directly or indirectly in contact with its food products) in handling food items. From proper hand washing, correct food temperatures, required government permits, to maintaining clean equipments, etc.

Waterfront Food Quality System is a system Waterfront Hotels are using to maintain the best quality of their food products. Thus providing utmost food safety to hotel guests and clients.

My message to the guest, from the food suppliers up to your table, it is rest assured that the meal you are taking have undergone a rigid test within the system. Making you feel at home as if you yourself prepared your meal.

Colorful Sushi - Sushi Balls

Colorful Sushi – Sushi Balls

Another crazy creation by my crazy mind. Let me present to you colorful sushi balls. Sushi balls are made up of sushi rice shaped into a ball with your choice of diced stuffing inside, it could be cheese, tuna, salmon, franks, sausages, etc. Just make sure your ball is stiff enough to not let it fall apart when you dip in sushi sauce or soy sauce. After rolling your sushi ball, cover it with any coating such as ebiko (caviar), uburo (fish powder), or sesame seeds to give a colorful look. Wow. Good for parties and picnics!!!

Kawasan Falls – Escape to paradise

Kawasan Falls – Escape to paradise

Kawasan Falls Badian Cebu, a hidden paradise to a new out going individual, like myself. The trip was my first time to venture on that area. Many times I have heard the place, but never in my childhood years did I attempted to travel to that far place.

Located in the South Side of Cebu in the Municipality of Badian

The day started early in the morning at around 7 am, waiting for the V-hire at Citilink Terminal to be full. The driver said, we should wait until he will get at least 10 passengers. Well, the day is long and a minute of wait never hurts. At around 8:30 am the V-hire was now set to go. With only 150 per passenger fare, is relatively cheap compared to going to Baguio or Boracay. ^_^.. The driver told us that it would take like 2 to 2 and a half hours travel to Kawasan Falls.

It was not a rough ride at all coz we took the South Reclamation Project towards Minglanilla and after that, all was smooth riding. I have never been to the place, so I kept on asking my friends if we are getting nearer. We passed, Naga, San Fernando, Carcar, Barili, Dumanjug, Ronda, Alcantara, Moalboal, then lastly Badian, our destination finally. When we disembarked we decided to visit a little church just near the entrance of the riverbank towards Kasawan Falls. From there we could see the coastline of Badian and from afar, the mountains of Negros Island. The entrance fee to the falls was only 10 pesos! Hope so it stays that way.

We met some people around and they are very friendly and hospitable to tourist, even the ice cream man was full of smiles. I am proud to see Filipinos that way, despite the harshness of life.

Towards the base of the falls, we need to walk our way on the riverbank, which was not bad at all. The step was all designed for a comfy stroll.

You can even see people fixing things around to make it more beautiful. I can’t even remember how many small bridges we passed. It’s like walking in the park with a background of water rushing down towards the sea. It took us like 10 to 15 minutes to get there. Or was it more, I wasn’t able to keep track of the time coz most of my friends were chatting and was enjoying the walk.

kawasan falls ice cream man. pls buy from him.

Kawasan Falls from a distance

As we got nearer, the view of the falls could already be seen from a distance. It was a fantastic experience, or shall I call it a magical feeling seeing the white rush of water falling down on cool turquoise natural pool. When we got to the base of the falls, we took a 300 peso cottage, ordered some good food and got ready for the swim!


But before we could take a dip, we decided to visit another falls just above the first Kawasan Falls, it was only by that time that I knew that there are 2 falls in one location, one above the other just a few walks upward. And a long hike up would take you to the dam. Well, for the adventurers, you try going up, but for weak hearts and knees, just stay behind falls 1 or falls 2.

The water was cold but tolerable. Clinging on to ropes for safety, you will enjoy the swim. Oh, the negative ions rushing cold to your body. Wow!

As the hours passed by, tourist started coming in one by one, taking a bath and some just did pictorials. The place was alive and I am happy seeing it that way, it guarantees that the Kawasan Falls will go a long way in time. For the next generations whose a stranger to his own country, like me, to experience. Well, I am thankful, that I was able to explore the wonder of my very country, Philippines, and in my very own place of birth, Cebu City.

Kawasan Falls is indeed a good place to start for a Cebuano in exploring his country land. If you have no less than 5 thousand pesos for a group of 6, you will be able to relax, distress, and enjoy life with nature.

Happy Halloween at Waterfront Hotel

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween is indeed something to celebrate about. Its not that we need to mourn for the dead, it’s a celebration of life too. People and kids go trick or treating, costume parties, carving pumpkins and telling ghost stories right before sleep. Not to mention the wide choices of ghost stories showcased by each television stations, that includes news and documentaries.

Halloween day was described long ago as a time where the living and the dead world coexist in this day, it sound scary, just imagine if it was true. Luckily we live now in modern day world.

Halloween Parties! Wow, Halloween day is not just a tradition now it also involves some social activities that we find pleasure and meeting new friends.

Such as the recent Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino Halloween party! It was so amazing seeing those scary, freaky, and out of this world costumes! Ill be posting some pics soon, ms ecel of HR wasn’t able to email me the pics.

Here are the people of Peers Resource Department of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel on Halloween Party night. Guys pardon me for posting this, it’s just that I need a picture to display and it’s the only thing I got.

The Caterpillar Roll

The Caterpillar Roll

Another unique and impressive idea, but actually not new, just got this from the internet and just wanted to try it out and it worked well. The taste was awesome. The combination of Unagi inside and the avocado was well perfect. The only thing I did was, putting a spot of mayo on top and making it look more like a caterpillar.

Colorful Sushi - Mango Sushi

Colorful Sushi

This colorful sushi is not uncommon, but what I am showcasing here is the use of mango as Nigiri sushi which is very odd. Well, my imagination always takes me to odd places. Just cut yourself some ripe and sweet mango, slice it the way you do with regular fishes, roll a bit of rice and put the mango on top and tied with a cut of nori. There goes your very own Mango Sushi.

Maki with Rice Paper Roll

Maki with Rice Paper Roll

This is just the same as the old hoso maki style, but instead of dried seaweed or nori, what I used was the rice paper sheet. This kind of maki is very good for people who don’t like the aroma of the Nori since it has sometimes a fishy flavor.

Sushi and Maki

Sushi and Maki

As a sushi chef, I always encounter guest requesting something new and relatively different from the old boring menus. So I always resort myself into creating new ideas, resulting in a very fun Sushi / Maki platter. Below are pictures on what I have made when I experiment with my thoughts.

Sushi In Rice Paper Pouch

Made from Chinese ingredient, the rice paper. Using the rice paper as a small pouch and putting inside a bit of rice together with your choice of ingredient, it could be diced tuna, peas, carrots, etc. Tying the head with boiled cha soba for a more presentable and unique look.

Digital Filipino at Treatro Casino Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino

Digital Filipino at Treatro Casino Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino

The event was a total success!

Over 100 participants joined the event, and among those were the Cebu Bloggers Society. Sponsored by PAGCOR, foods from Port Seafood of Waterfront Hotel was amazing and more than enough to satisfy, plus a background of quality variety music! All that for free!

PAGCOR showed us a video presentation showcasing their humble history and how PAGCOR changed thru time and how the corporation actively funded programs for the government.

The Cebu Bloggers Society’s presence, I think, were much felt because we all came with the same kind of shirt, hence we were all I uniform. Among were my good old friends from Istorya.net, Wilhilmina, Pinkdimension (Rodel), Empress, and some other bloggers, which I know by face.

Because of this event I was able to acquaint myself with fellow bloggers, shared some good insights, tips and know-hows. More power to the Digital Filipino and the Cebu Bloggers Society!
