Cebu in Pictures, Part 6

Time for an outing... About an hour from the city is...This would be truly amazing...
if it were true. Dolphins swimming up to a mountain resort? What do you think they are, salmon?!
The pool is inviting though...
And if you want to make a splash...
Don't slap the monkey!
You in for birds? A bird sanctuary building adorned with butterflies.
And once inside, less butterflies, more live birds like this one.And even a dead one.
Time to go home...
And straight to the mall.
Where Koreans roam. :)

Vantage point of Cloverfield in the Mist

Hmm, does the title make sense? Anyway, for Cloverfield, I've read some nasty reviews that it's trying to do a Blair Witch Project and that people coming out of the cinemas are overwhelmed with nausea. The hand-held camera style lends very well to the story, in my opinion. The pace is gripping and much like a horror film, the characters dies one by one. Also, not placing the big momma creature in full plain view was a good strategy. All in all, Cloverfield is an entertaining movie. 3.5 over 5 stars! Onto The Mist. Almost silly. The ending is frustrating. 2 out of 5 stars!
And then to something that didn't disappoint. Vantage point. Wow. You have to see it and enjoy it for yourself. Hopefully you don't watch it with an audience who loudly reacts to the film's style of rewinding back to almost the beginning to present each "vantage point". 3.75 out of 5 stars!

The Golden Prince

A shot of Golden Prince from my office. It's 7 minutes and 770 steps away.I still have a microwave and a bigger refrigerator. And now, a sink!
My "entertainment center."
And the bed. Two single beds pushed together to make one bigger, un-bouncy bed.

Cebu in Pictures, Part 5

Food Trip
Here's the ceiling lighting at this quaint little deli and cafe where I was told you can buy almost everything you see in it.There are very old artwork, house furnishings, caps, beads, souvenir items, sardines, and food items.
And they serve hot home-cooked meals you don't have to wait too long for. Plus the staff are very friendly.
The table-top. I highly recommend eating here; you'll have a very pleasant experience.
Abaseria Deli & Café, Cebu
39B Cong. Noel St.,
Cebu City, Cebu

On the other hand...
Inside Ayala Mall and alongside Spaghetti Factory is Mother's Fried Chicken. I took out some pork chops. I asked for gravy but I had to pay for it.
And when I got to the office to eat, the gravy wasn't any good. Nor was the chops. Bad lunch.
And for a snack, how about some panwiches. Pandesal with various filling.
Looks cute and yummy. Tastes ok.
