Nakakainis itong Airasia. Pina refund ko na lang yung manila-cebu RT ko for next year, pangalawang beses na nilang binabago yung departure ko from cebu. Baka hindi meant to be sa akin yung trip na yun kaya sabi ko irefund na lang, Valentines pa naman yun. Dito na lang kami mag celebrate sa Manila

Oh my! Such sad news. I remembered how excited you were to celebrate Valentine's here. It's not too late naman. How about trying to book via a different airline perhaps? There's PAL & Cebu Pacific anyway. It's never too late to adjust plans.

^oo nga eh. Sayang nga nakakainis kasi yung pabago bago nilang oras, will try to check if I can get another flight. But if not, Cebu will always be there for us

[ysa.belle]

^ If you're getting Corazon, why not make it all Corazon na lang? Mas yummy kasi talaga the Corazon

really? haven't tasted both kase kaya lahat gusto kong tikman. hehe. di bale sabihan ko yung pinakisuyuan ko to just buy corazon. thanks sis!

^^hindi masarap otap ng shamrock. matigas & walang laman yong gitna, mas ok titay's. pero sa office yong galing sa town namin (hillside @ carmen) yong dinadala ko & mas gusto nila

nakasanayan na pasalubong kase dati dito yun.pero sige wag na yun pabili ko, request ako sa mga ibang brands na nabanggit mo sis. salamat ha!

yung dried items nalang. 1 kilo at 2 kilos yung pinabili ko sa kanila... hehe

True that! It would be quite a challenge to really keep adjusting, iba kasi talaga yung set na set ka na! And yes, if you can't on the initial planned dates, puede naman kasi ibang dates instead. Just post if may new dates ka na

^ Very subtle lang ang difference, pero based sa personal preference ko... I love Corazon so much better

[ysa.belle]

dito kase sa amin walang rosquillos. buti pa ang barquillos meron. i would love to try zubuchon and the choco covered dried mangoes

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Wow! I seriously assumed that Rosquillos is everywhere. Like my Mum hails from Davao City and whenever we go, we don't bring Titay's anymore because it's in the grocery stores. Well, we kinda still do pala kasi our Granma insists that we get her stuff from the factory.. So, we do her that favor all the time. Yup, Zubuchon will surely make you happy. Same goes for the choco covered dried mangoes

Hi sis,

We will be in cebu this sunday. Ask ko lang how to get dun sa mga store ng guitar, if possible yung magkakatabi sana. Tama ba yung naiisip ko na from airport straight to store na kami before heading to cebu city? Or malapit lang un sa cebu city?

And also, any feedback sa Wellcome hotel? near ayala or sm ba yung location?

tia

excited na

[rocky]

^wellcome bandang likod pa ng quest yan sis, mukhang kaya namang lakarin papuntang ayala

[insanelypurpleprincess]

Pretty_aye, hey there! For those strip of guitar places, you have the option to already check them out straight from the airport. I don't think naman na marami kayong stuff, so you can definitely check them out. I personally have not bought a guitar in the Lapu-Lapu area, so I have no recommended brands, but for sure maraming options

As for Wellcome Hotel, I always get to see that whenever we pass through that side street to go someplace. Also, it's quite near a Shabu-Shabu restaurant that we frequent. It is near enough to walk from that hotel to Ayala. You just have to be wary about crossing the street safely as it can get busy at times. Hope this information somehow helps. Enjoy Cebu! Weather is quite erratic though. Minsan bigla na lang uulan.. usually in the afternoons.

[Pretty_aye]

Thank you rocky and insanelypurpleprincess, about sa wellcome hotel nabasa ko that they have free shuttle going to ayala and sm
Magdadala rin pala kami ng umbrella

Excited na ko

[insanelypurpleprincess]

You're most welcome, Pretty_aye. As for the free shuttle for Ayala and SM, that's great news. Even if it's a short walk to Ayala, take the shuttle instead, so you can avoid crossing the streets. As for the umbrella, definitely a good idea. Enjoy your stay in Cebu and if there's anything that you need, feel free to reach out and we'll see how we can help

Ladies I just got an email from my favorite resort in Cebu. If anyone of you are visiting Cebu from now until October, Shangri-La has an ongoing "Book and Buy" promo. Deluxe rooms start at Php6500.00nett. Pwede na if you're planning to do a day trip for 2, magbook na lang kayo. Sales period is Sep 8-12 and stays are good until Oct 31, 2014.

 

[daveigh]

^ ouch! i just rebooked our flight from cebu to bohol kasi I cannot get a lower than 7k rate na hotel sa mactan!

[mama squeak!]

^Ay sayang! Good deal na yung sa Shangri-La since they hardly offer rates like that unless sale. Kami din we wanted to avail kaya lang wala sa stay dates yung punta namin.

I'm looking forward to their pre-holiday sale sometime next month or November. Sana good deals pa rin.

[purple_girl]

^super good deal yung 6.5k, sayang lang at next year pa yung travel namin. sana yung sa year end sale nila ganyang kamura din.

[purple_girl]

[rocky]

^hehe mas mura na yan sis

[daveigh]

^ homaygosh that is so tempting. argh. I hate myself for rebooking my flights! Next year talaga I will be more patient na.

[purple_girl]

^kaya nga bigla akong napaisip. haha... on one hand, parang mas maganda ang feedback sa shang but yung magiging difference naman ng price pwede na nung ma-cover yung 1 night stay sa quest.
