SEASIDE CITY: THE CUBE

SM SEASIDE

Back to the city.
After roaming around the rivers, mountains and beaches. Here we are back in the urban area. Where buildings stand high.
Then heres the newest building. The SEASIDE CITY. With the CUBE Land Mark.
I ask myself why CUBE. Its not realy true, I just figure it out myself. CUBE maybe for us to tell that were in CEBU. CUBE - CEBU or CEBU - CUBE.

The building is oblong. With the watch tower in the Middle.
Its just 5 minutes away from the CEBU PORT via the TUNNEL in the SRP or the South Road Properties. Or almost 1 hour from Mactan Airport depending on the traffic.

It has a sky park or a garden, playground, and activity hall on its rooftop. There were also dessert bars if you dont want to go down to get some food.

The SEASIDE CITY will be done 100% on target year 2020. So, if youre already been to the MALL of ASIA maybe its time for you to visit the SEASIDE CITY.

SIMALA MARIAN SHRINE: LOVE YOUR MOTHER

The Marian Shrine
Its a master piece in honor of Mary - the mother of Jesus Christ.

Its located at Sibonga, Cebu. A two hours or less travel from SM Sea Side City via VHIRE. For as low as P100, the vehicle will drop you in front of the Shrine's gate.
There are many things you can do in this place. You can offer a prayer. Offer a mass. Write your petition and wishes and drop it in the Prayer Box.
You can also try the wishing bell where you should throw the coin to hit tha bell and if that coin that hit the bell will drop into the well, then it is believed that your wish will come true.
Everyone is invited to enter the shrine. All you need to do is just fall in line and leave your shoes and slippers outside the door to have a connection with the solemn place.
Inside, it is so peaceful, quite, and amazing.
The power of faith is realy there. It strikes to your nerves, to your heart, bones, and soul.
The feeling is totaly heaven.

Anyways, there are also rules and regulations inside the premises. No, loud voice, no skin showy clothings, like no shorts, no sleeveless etc. etc. Or else, you cant get in.
The Patron of this Shrine is Virgin Mary.
So, dont be surpised if you'll see a huge statue of Her.
Many worship her but there are some that don't recognize her.
But for those who loved their mother, no matter what she has done or she is capable of will surely consider Mary as an example of a loving mother.
Carry Her child for Nine Months. Risk Her life in giving birth. Raise Him for years. The struggle to wake up in the middle of the night. And everything that a Mother can do just to save Her Child.
So, if your dont believe in Mary, just believe in the love of your mother who brought you here on earth.

Only The Brave: Green Team to KAWASAN FALLS

Team is a group of people working together for a common goal.
It should have a leader or a captain and all members should have a clear task to do.
In this adventure, the leader is the one who planned this "canyoneering" to KAWASAN FALLS. And the task which was given to each of us is "just obey the tour guide."
The tour guide: a well trained professional hiker, swimmer, rock climber, etc. etc. He knows everything about the trail, the depth of the water, the distance between rocks, the monkeys staring at you, everything.
When he say, slow down, jump, slide, climb, just obey. He also encourage everyone of us. And the best way is to encourage is to chose the braviest amongst us and let him do everything first - that's me. I have no choice.
Then ofcourse, the photographer. Everything must be recorded, even the slip and the fall. The beautiful views, the monkeys hanging around, everything that is good to the eyes.
Another task is to keep quite if you have nothing good to say. Example, ask about snakes or anu creepy things. Thats a No No No to our leader.
Shout, laugh and smile. Its a happy day.
So, the trek is over and Green Team had conquered "canyoneering" to KAWASAN Falls.
