Red Box Karaoke is a premiere international karaoke chain operating in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Philippines . It has established itself as a leader in redefining what karaoke party should be. Cebuanos who were able to try Red Box at their Greenbelt and Trinoma branches could only wish that Redbox would come to Cebu. The wait is over, Redbox Karaoke is finally set to conquer the home of the country’s best singers. Redbox is now open at Ayala Terraces just beside Pancake House Ayala Center Cebu (Garden Level).

It is very good that it would be very selfish of me not share it to you. As you enter the shop, you will be greeted with a futuristic and minimalist but elegant reception. But the surprise is not there, it is cleverly hidden at the back. Guided by their waiter/assistant,  you will be toured to this 21-room karaoke entertainment center while going to your room. Passing through their corridor is like teleporting yourself from Ayala Center to some posh hotel. There are rooms that are perfect for a party-of-five and rooms that can accommodate larger crowds of up to 30 persons. Rooms 31 and 33 are signature rooms with billiard table and poker table, respectively. Every room is uniquely designed , that no rooms are the same. In a room there are 2 monitors: 1 big monitor for the lyrics and video and the second small monitor is for the remote-controlled song selector. All rooms are hot spots with free wi-fi acess. This should be an addition to my list of Free Wi-fi Access within Cebu City.

It is a huge place and a huge surprise as well. I never thought Ayala has that much space and Redbox could be that big. In fact, Red Box Cebu is the second largest branch in the Philippines.

A wide array of food and drink selection is on their menu. Activities are varied too. Not only it offers you to sing the 10,000 licensed song on their playlist but also to view the latest music videos and live concerts that you probably missed. For those who will pass the mic, poker and billiard are their options. Wii and music instruments are also planned to be made available in the rooms as shared by the Managing Director of Cebu Mr. Allen Arvin Tan.

HOW TO PLAN YOUR NEXT KARAOKE PARTY AT REDBOX AYALA CENTER CEBU

1. Identify the number of your guest. Redbox offers a unique rate packages on a per-head per time segment basis. Packages includes free drink/s or meals and room use. Prices are exclusive of 10% service charge. See prices below. Redbox don’t discriminate. Even if you are alone, you can still have a room of your own of the same per-head price depending on the availability of the rooms.
2. Make a reservation. This will assure that you will get the best room for your party-goers. You will avoid that frustrating feeling to be declined because all rooms are taken. Redbox telephone number is 417-1675.
3. Plan your songlist. It would be good to adopt a theme like 80’s night, OPM night, Sawi sa Pagibig Night etc…
4. Bring laptops/netbooks. Redbox has free wi-fi access. You can also plug your AC adapter with no extra charge.
5. Maximize your money by coming on time.

Cine Europa 13 Manila will also be shown on September 10 at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall and will run until the 19th of September and in Cagayan de Oro from 1 -3 October at the Liceo de Cagayan University.

Furthermore, a city wide free wifi zone can be a reassuring gesture to tourists so that will feel very comfortable within the city. The network may be configured that upon login users are directed to specific government offices page/s which they may contact in case of emergency . It may also provide for a good feedback mechanism which will receive their complaints, suggestion and even appreciations. Through this facility they can be in contact with their friends or relatives and perhaps advertise our city for free to them. Surely, this will be appealing to tourists.

The City’s main challenge is perhaps in finding a partner for this endeavor. However, I am quite positive that there are a number of providers who may be interested in this proposal.

Making free wifi access available only to select shops would be to encourage table-hoarding antics of loiterers. Small businesses are likely to suffer lost of sales from these wifi squatters. The last thing merchants want is that some loafers would make their shops an office away from home. How should this be dealt with? I have no particular suggestion for merchants. However, making every place and nook a wifi zone would definitely discourage squatting. A quintessential example would be SM Malls.

For the meantime, here is an abridge list of free wifi zones within Cebu City area:

• Bo’s Coffeee (All Outlets)*
• Caltex Convenience Store Foodland*
• Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (Ayala, IT Park)*
• Coffee Dream (Gorordo and Parkmall)*
• Coffeecat (IT Park eBlock)*
• Da Vinci Pizza (I only tried Parkmall)*
• Figaro Coffeeshop (SM, Ayala, IT Park)*
• MACBay Café*
• McDonalds IT Park (Supposedly all McDonalds outlet has free unsecured wifi)
• Offroads Cafe near Sykes*
• Pier One (Parkmall)*
• Siam (Terraces, Ayala)*
• SM City Cebu (Free unsecured Wi-fi inside the mall)
• Most of the high-end restaurants of Cebu offer free wi-fi when dining inside.

*Free secured Wifi when you order a product from them.

Discover for yourself the thrill of authentic Cebuano food!

At  the Mandaue Run for Life, reality was catching up as I catch for breath. Definitely, it is highschool stroll no more. The 5-kilometer route seems like eternity as I peeked the finish line after a few minutes from the gun start. The cheerily  launched dash turned into a run of make believe to convince myself that I still can do it.  Pride and survival  were running on my head attempting to  propel every beat of my heart. It was a challenge to the finish with the  price becoming irrelevant. The fight for gold, has become a run for the yellow  choker and the competition instantly cools down as just for fun.

Success has never been this compromising. Success can be as trivial as a yellow yarn at the turning point to the finish line.  The yellow choker reminded me that I am almost there and I should not quit. What I lacked in  speed I compensate it with persistence.  The race is not always for the swift but also to those who keep on running. I must finish the run. I can do it and I will do it.

Finally, I reached the finish line after 30ish minutes. Victory was real. It surged in me along with sweat. The race was an achievement  not only because of the finish line but of the altruistic feeling that by registering for this fun run I did not only show care for my body I also helped a child on my city. Indeed success is sweeter when shared. My success to the finish line was a large step to sprint the kids to the brighter future.

]]> http://laagcebu.com/2010/08/running-revisited/feed/ 2 http://laagcebu.com/2010/07/cebu-joggers-scene/ http://laagcebu.com/2010/07/cebu-joggers-scene/#comments Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:07:16 +0000 Ethelbert http://laagcebu.com/?p=265 A few years ago when I was reviewing for the bar I read an article that oxydating the body tremendously improves memory. A well-oxygenated cells (brain cells) are not likely to get sick. It allows your mind to function and hold those precious information you want to retrieve at least during the exam. Out of desperation I obliged.

Engaging to a regular exercise and eating the right food are among the highly recommended activities to avoid oxygen depletion in the body. During that time, I resolved that I will do my daily morning 1-hour jogging before hitting the books for at least 8 hours everyday.

Wanting to keep my early morning jogging exciting I tried several spots.

Abellana / Cebu City Sports Complex
Entrance fee is P15 for regular joggers and P10 for students. Jogging here is less strenuous to the feet because of the rubberized track. This venue is usually packed with more than a hundred joggers.  5 PM after work to 8 PM is its peak hours. For variations, there are also tae-bo, swimming, ball room dancing and belly dancing sessions. Everyone is welcome to join for a very affordable fee ranging from P10 to P50 per session. No changing room but the comfort rooms are clean so you can change there. You may leave your things at one of the secured rooms. An attendant is on duty to look after your things. A major drawback of this place is the fact that the air you breath there may not be that fresh since this area is very close to the major thoroughfares of the City. You don’t want to suffocate your lungs with polluted air while jogging. However, it may not be that polluted as well. So far, I am yet to see a study on how polluted is the air here in Cebu.

The Family Park at Talamban
Entrance fee is P10 to P15. Every first Saturday and Sunday of the month, entrance fee is waived. The trees are tall. The birds are singing in chorus and the grass are green. The jogging path is a bit challenging because of its ascending pitch and trails that are not yet cemented. It is rocky and narrow. Fresh air is everywhere but not people. Only a few joggers come here. Most of the time, families come here for picnic, animal watching or maybe swimming.

Asiatown IT Park
There was a time when jogging here is prohibited. Today however, IT park is one of the favorite jogging site especially for the mid twenties to early 40’s crowd. It is clean and hip. Very close to everything. There are free parking on the western side of the area. A cemented pedestrian road can be utilized as your jogging route. No changing room but the rest rooms at The Walk is  a good makeshift.

Cebu Business Park
Less and less people jogs here. It’s a very big area but most of the time one can only cover a portion of it. For me, that area beside Union Bank is best place to jog. The place is secured. There are security guards on duty.  But a heavier volume of vehicles passing the road makes this place less appealing to joggers .

A. S. Fortuna
Although I haven’t tried it here, I observed that there had been several joggers who passed by this stretch from Manduae Highway to Foodland – Talamban. There are a number of vehicles passing on this street, safety is a concern. There are dogs on the road from residents beside the street so this may not be a good idea for those who fear dogs. If you will run going to Mandaue Highway Seno from Foodland, you will face the sunrise on your way.

Plan and enjoy. Happy Jogging!

TIP: To look for more places safe for running/jogging you may want to visit http://www.ceburunning.com/runsafe/ Aside from a very informative cebu running map, the site also contains such data as areas where runners are robbed or attacked. It also indicates which parts of Cebu runners should avoid for being unsafe, especially at night.

For the meantime, I am happy to announce that CBS partnered with Mandaue Chamber of Commerce for this year’s Mandaue Business Month. The activity will kick off with a fun run on August 1, 2010 at 4:00 o’clock in the morning at the West Parking Area of the Park Mall.

Please check poster below for registrations and more info. Lets run and help!

This October 21-24, 2010 the Philippine Russian Trade Exhibition opens to the public at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) in Mandaue City.

This first-ever Trade Exhibit showcasing the world-class products of leading companies from the Russia and Philippines is a specially-added major component in this year’s Philippine Russian Business Forum (PRBF).

The exhibition will serve as an educational point of exchange of cultural and economic backgrounds of both countries. It will showcase the various trade opportunities in both the Philippine and Russian sides.

Lined up for exhibition are products and services related to tourism and wellness; trade promotion and development; mining and energy; education and culture; labor, placement services and outsourcing; and retirement facilities and real estate development.

As Russia is known to have the largest reserves of mineral and energy resources in the world and is the world’s leading energy superpower, the visiting exhibitors are expected to bring in new ideas and current trends on the Russian energy market.

Russia also has the world’s largest timber reserves and may likewise promote its wood furniture industry, along with its food products, toys and housewares, jewelry, fashion and accessories, and industrial goods.

Exhibits for tourism and wellness will showcase M.I.C.E. facilities and destinations, tourist attractions, and health and wellness products as well as medical tourism-related services.

The various aspects of both Filipino and Russian education, as well as culture, will also be featured in the trade fair, including English language training and arts and crafts.

Among the highlights of the Philippine Russian Business Forum and Trade Exhibition is the one-on-one business matching and meeting between exhibitors and investors/buyers which is instrumental in the procuring of trade.

Meanwhile, the bust of famous Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy which will be mounted at the Sugbo Cultural Center has already arrived in time for this Russian-Philippines forum. The Tolstoy bust will be officialy unveiled on October 21, 2010 during the opening ceremonies of this year’s Philippine Russian Business Forum (PRBF).

Also, one of the main attraction of this event is the exhibition of Pototsky’s paintings in the Philippine Russian Art Show, which is one of the PBRF’s major component along with the Philippine Russian Trade Exhibition and Philippine Russian Photo Exhibit.

Investors, real estate developers, businessmen, decision makers, exporters, importers, national government agencies, and local government units from both the Russian Federation and the Philippines are expected to attend the four-day Philippine Russian Business Forum.

The four-day 2nd Philippine-Russian Business Forum is organized by the Philippine Russian Business Assembly (PRBA), Embassy of the Russian Federation, and the Philippine Exhibits and Themeparks Corp. (PETCO).

It is being held in cooperation with the Province of Cebu, City of Mandaue, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Tourism, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Cebu Business Club, and the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

For inquiries and reservations, call 253-111 loc 8245 or email mpplaza@marcopolohotels.com.

I attended its launching on July 16, 2010 at the Marco Polo Hotel Lobby. The event was graced by the no less than Spain’s Ambassador to the Philippines  His Excellency Luis Arias-Romero and Honorary Consul of Spain Jaime Picornell, Ms. Gema Pido and Mr. Hans Suri. Special performances by Pianist Maestor Jovianney Emmanuel Cruz accompanied by Guitarist Ruben Reyes entertained the guest during the short program.

The ceremonial cutting of the Serrano Ham at Café Marco and unveiling of the quintessential Paella  at El Viento Restaurant at Pool bar highlighted the event. The Parade of Chefs and Waiters makes this event more festive.

Comida

The main event was Dinner where  several Spanish food were served. Among my favorite are of course the Spanish Paella, mechado , olive salad and the yummy tortilla de berenjena (eggplant). Food was savored with every little sip of Spanish wine in between. The Sangria is making me blush. The Spanish Doughnut Churros, creme brule and Brazo de Mercedes were perfect to wrap-up that wonderful Spanish dinner which surely was a champion.

Felicitaciones España!

Thank you Ecka, Jennifer and Belle for the invite and wonderful company during dinner, Sinjin for the picks and Doyzkie for the ride.

My first visit to Coffee Cat coffeeshop was when they invited the Cebu Bloggers Society during their opening last July 16, 2010. It was my impression that it is a local franchise of an international coffee brand.  However, when the owners were introduced with their  humble beginnings, that impression was immediately proven to be wrong. More surprising to know was that it is a proud Philippine brand.

The inside story…

The shop was intended for the people on the go. The interior design is minimalist but very up-to-date. The chairs can rotate 360 degrees perfect for those big animated group discussions. The color pallete was also very uncommon for a coffee shop, doing away from the monotonic brown and green combination. I can only think of Japanese inspiration for its trendy and relaxing hues and arrangements.

On my second visit, I also noticed that the music played inside the shop is not the typical lounge and “old winter Christmas” music but it is more hip and updated, which young crowds can surely relate to.

Coffee and yogurt under one roof

My first coffee cat experience was a medium Coffee Caramel Avalanche (P135). Looking at the menu, coffee cat seems to have all the selections you want from a coffeeshop with a little modernized name. What captures my attention however was when my name was printed on a sticker and pasted on my cup. Yes, pentel pen is cheap for them.

The coffee was good.  It is not very sweet – just right for me. The whip was very creamy and  rich.  Avalanche should be consumed before it becomes liquid. It is ideal to zip it while you can feel the smooth grains of ice on your coffee.

Next, was a small Yogo yogurt with 3 choices of toppings (P120). My selected toppings were almond nuts for texture, kiwi for color and grapes for that sweet and tangy taste. It was heaven.  For sure, it is way better than those cheap yogurt sold on stalls. I would trade one coffee session for a Yogo yogurt session. I’m craving for it while writing this…

Coffee Cat is located at the eBlock, IT Park. Ground floor of that building occupied by JP Morgan & Chase.

Certainly, Coffee Cat is not a second rate trying hard coffee shop.

Thanks to Jorich for the pictures.

An unconference is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose like blogging. The term “unconference” has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored presentations.

For Cebu Blog Camp, participants will register online. Speakers volunteer to take sessions and are allotted time-slots. Anybody can speak on any topic so long as it is related to blogging, micro blogging or any social media in general. The event is highly interactive. It is expected to find the participants jumping right in and even taking over the microphone from the speaker. There is no audience but there are only participants and they don’t give speeches they share their knowledge. The environment is very informal and leads a lot of discussions.

Cebu BlogCamp is an excellent opportunity to network with other social media users, hear about what other people are seeing and experiencing in this space and share your own ideas as well. If you are a blogger, you already have an opinion and a voice. BlogCamp is just a wider offline platform to share this.

For advertisers this is a rare occasion when Online Connectors gather in one venue. A precious moment to present your products not just to targeted audiences but also to varied bloggers who can widen your market through their extraordinary knack of making online friends and acquaintances that span to a many and different unknown worlds and undiscovered markets.

Cebu Blog Camp 2010 is an event organized by a group of Cebu Bloggers.

The sun was up and burning when I was catching for a taxi ride to Ayala Center Cebu after that nagging cellphone alarm reminded me that I have committed to attend to a media event for the opening of FIC (Fruits in Ice Cream), Ayala Center Cebu. Looking at my insistent list, I was ready to bunk off the event in order to focus more on those that would fatten my wallet but instinctively, I succumb to the summoning pleasures of the Ice Cream, so I attended anyway.

Arriving rather fashionably late and after an obligatory chit-chat with fellow bloggers and other guests, I dig in. I had two scoops of Coffee-Late Lite and NangkaSuy Sorbetes. The contrast was intended for me to be able to at least try all their lines of ice cream. They got almost 40 ice cream flavours in four different lines: gourmet, premium, FIC lite and Pinoy Sorbetes.

NankaSoy was very tasty. I can taste and smell the jackfruit in it. Exactly, what this store promises – a fruit in ice cream. I can taste the fruit juxtapose with the creaminess of the coconut milk, a very good alternative for the lactose intolerant or those that have allergy on dairy protein. Other available sorbets in the market comes with a lot of air softening the ice cream making it easy to melt. I think FIC has a better stabilizer that really holds those air bubble structure together for a better texture and smoother ice cream.

For a guilt-free indulgence, why not try the Lite line of ice cream? It has NO SUGAR and with 50% less calories compared to regular ice cream. The same ice cream but less worries. Who can’t be happy with that?

The ice cream was such a welcome antidote of that stressful list of To-dos. It has the capacity to put you in another world where satisfaction is genuine and joy is real. Simply, it makes me happy.

Suggested Flavors you should try:

Almost all in the Gourmet line like Pistachio, Raspberry Rapture and Caramello con Pastillas. These and all for less than a hundred pesos.

COMPANY DETAILS:

Fruits in Ice Cream is available in Ayala Center Cebu (3rd Floor, next to Chowking) and SM City Cebu (Upper Ground Level by Chinabank and Ace Hardware), as well as Cebu Country Club.

One may avail of big discounts when purchasing the pints and half gallons at FIC Cebu depot, which is located at 13 Bauhinia Drive, Banilad. Telephone No.: 232 8164.

Fruits in Ice cream also caters for special events such as birthday parties, anniversaries, as well as school and corporate events.

Watch out for the new product lines to be launched by May. I tried their Milkshakes and its really good. Its 2 scoops of ice cream plus a little milk blended together. For sure I will be getting it by May.
