TOP 10 MUST-TRY IN CEBU

It's been 4 months now but I still can't get over the beautiful city of Cebu. The recent Sinulog Festival here was the most memorable traditional festive event I had so far. It was a good choice that I celebrate my birthday here this year. So for those planning to visit this magnificent island in the Philippines, here's my top 10 must-try in Cebu!

Ayala Centre Cebu: 

Cebu is the oldest city in the Philippines, definitely you'll find rich culture and historical attractions here but one spot you shouldn't miss is the Ayala Centre Cebu where you'll find some of Cebu's delicious food and coffee spot to start your day!

Travel: LIV SuperClub Cebu

Cebu travel escapade will not be compete without trying it's nightlife. Liv is the newest night club in Cebu. The crowd is a mix of expats and pinoys with a reasonable entrance fee of Php 200.00 that comes with free drinks. This place is located in Times Square in Mandaue accesible through taxi or best if you have private car as you'll pass through silent streets before reaching Time Square.

The place has a number of restaurant and bars which makes it the perfect spot for LIV as the vibrant hub of social activity in Cebu. Make sure to go here after midnight as usually the crowd will start to flock by 12 MN. With the growing nightlife in Cebu, LIV provides one of the biggest club area I've seen in the Philippines. We made it to the VIP access so we had table in the second level of the bar. There we had the panoramic view of the place with all the people dancing crazy when you look down.

With excellent DJ's, good music and vibrant atmosphere, LIV is the best night life experience you shouldn't miss in Cebu to anyone who wants to party till the early hours. LIV Superclub Cebu, thank you for this unforgettable night!

Travel: Life Dance 2015

Being an EDM fanatic, it was always my dream to join music festival event for such a long time. That's exactly what I did during the Sinulog 2015 Festival in Cebu City. I never had so much fun in my life like this where everyone regardless of their age, sex, race, is dancing the night out and forget the rest!

LIFE DANCE Cebu Philippines is the first ever outdoor EDM party in Philippines. Life Dance is inspired by renowned dance parties around the world such as Tomorrowland, Zoukout, Creamfields and Coachella. It kicked off its premiere even in Cebu drawing enormous number of people last May 6, 2012. This was followed by another on June 18, 2013 dubbed as Life Dance Sinulog: Circus of Life and May 25, 2013 entitled Life Dance: Wicked Summer.  

I've been to Zoukout in Singapore twice but Life Dance have a totally different spirit & music ambience where people just keep on dancing, smiling and enjoying the night. The fact that I'm with the company of the awesomest friends in here and the night was truly magical and therapeutic.

For 14 hours in one stage with 6 international DJs including Miss Nine, HOOKNSLING, Werwolvs, Borgeous, Vinai, Nari & Milani, their general ticket admission price of Php 1,000.00 or VIP Ticket Php  2,000.00 was totally worth it. I can't wait for next year! Hope to also experience Tomorrowland or Coachella soon. Haha! Reach up for your dreams my dear readers.
