Papaya in Cebu

Failed to share this from my posts of my Cebu travel last September.

Papaya in Cebu

These fruits were not yet ripe. But it just shows how bountiful it is. I must say that I so love nature. I love seeing these kind of beauty.

Holiday Plaza Hotel, Cebu City

After having our lunch at Joven's Grill & Seafoods, our team headed on our way to the Mandaue Substation to work on a holiday. About more than 2 hours of work, we then proceed to our hotel to check in our baggages and have a little rest. We checked in at Holiday Plaza Hotel. I thought I could blog about my experience right away, but the hotel charges PhP100.00/hour of WiFi usage. So, I did not avail of the WiFi.







The hotel guard suggested to take a shot in the building's rooftop. With enthusiasm, I took some photos, and here's the beauty I got.

Joven's Grill and Seafoods, Cebu City

After passing by the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, we felt some rumblings in our stomach. Since it is already past 12 noon, we find a place to have our lunch. And what more could be satisfying than an eat all you can restaurant.

Joven's Grill & Seafoods

We had our lunch at Joven's Grill and Seafoods located at A.S. Fortuna ST., Banilad, Mandaue City, Cebu. Their contact number is (032)-345-1641 and (032)-344-5376.


It is a buffet eat all you can meal, similar to that of Kamay Kainan. But I just have two (2) servings.

Vegetables. I always prefer vegetables over any other viand.

Crabs. I normally have a serving of this when available.

Joven's Grill and Seafoods is open daily from 10 in the morning until 8 at night. After an hour of food satisfaction, we left the restaurant and proceeded to work (even it is a holiday).

Marcelo Fernan Bridge

I arrived in Cebu last September 7 (it was a holiday) around 10 in the morning. Unlike in Metro Manila, the sun is up and shining there. After getting our baggage, we set on our vehicle and travel from Mactan Island (where the aiport is situated) to Cebu Island.

We pass by a bridge that connects the two islands, the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge. I had seen a few Cebuanos enjoying and swimming in the body of water. Wish the river back in my hometown is clean enough to have that kind of enjoyment.




I felt like a child wanting to plunge into the water with that kind of scene.

As we go on, I had an opportunity to take a shot of the Marcelo Fernan Bridge. It is the bridge that connects the two islands and is newer as compared to the bridge that we were passing by. It was named after the former Supreme Court Justice of the Philippines.



The bridge was opened August of 1999 with the length of 1,237 meters and center span of 185 meters and had known to be one of the longest and widest bridges in the Philippines.

I also got the chance to have a photo of it in a much nicer angle at one of our pitstops.

I've Been Busy Last Week

While everyone is enjoying their long weekend (the declared holiday as the Philippines mourn over the death of Ka Erdy), I have been busy. There's no holiday for me then. I have to wake up early and be at Cubao by 6AM for I have to catch up my 9AM flight to Cebu. No, it was not for vacation, it was for work. I have to work even on a holiday. The declaration is that late that I already booked my travel and could not cancel my trip. It had been a busy week for me. Will be posting here the pictures I had taken in my succeeding posts.
