Attention to all Cebu café lovers, here is another great place you can add to the list of your next café destination - MILKCOW! Yes, you read it right! Milkcow is finally here in Cebu, Philippines ready to serve you ice cream, coffee, macaroons and food you will greatly love.

What is Milkcow?
Milkcow is a fast-growing ice cream parlor and ice cream café brand in Korea widely known for serving high-end desserts, food and coffee. It has 50 branches and has expanded to other countries such as Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, China, the US and the Philippines.

Where is it particularly located in Cebu?
It is located in  Groung Floor, Filinvest Cyberzone Cebu Tower 1, IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City

Time:
10:00 AM to 12:00 AM Midnight

Here is my first time experience in the café .
My friends and I are eager to taste the ice cream in here because a lot of people are talking about it. It is "sikat" or "known" in our ears. It is 9:55 AM when we visit the place. Since, their opening time is 10:00 AM, it is clearly obvious that we are not so excited, haha! We wait for 5-7 minutes outside and voila, we are the first customers! We get in. The place is cold, cozy and clean.

Look at those patterns in the ceiling. Captivating!

It is still very early and the in-charge personnel are still baking macaroons, brewing coffee and cooking foods. These are the available items for the meantime. It looks sad hihi!

Delicious honey.

We are not sure what to order because all items in the menu looks delicious in our eyes. So, we ask for the best-sellers. The best sellers are The Anatomy of Milky Honey, The Anatomy of Milky Cube, The Anatomy of Macao Dream and The Anatomy of Milky Crisp.
We choose the Anatomy of Macao Dream because among four, this looks fancy! Price is Php 170.00 pesos.

The macaroon is not red; it is white. Maybe because we do not specify the color upon order.

List of best-sellers in a separate menu list.

For those who love taking pictures like me, there is a perfect spot for us. Look at that neat corner near the entrance door with props you can choose.

You can't by happiness but you can buy ice cream and that's kind of the same thing!

Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos. Char!

Complete list of menu.




Facts You need to know about Milkcow:
1. It is such a hit in Korea.
2. It came up with many interesting toppings and ice cream designs, which, due to their taste, cuteness and creativity, fascinated Koreans. For example, putting cotton candy on top of the ice cream looks really pretty but it also makes the taste unique.
3. It uses organic milk. Milk comes from cow that are not given growth hormones or antibiotics to enhance their milk yield.
4. Ice cream is soft served, pure and not diluted. Every order is handmade to ensure that they stay true to their artisan roots and that quality is not compromised.
5. Ice cream with honey is a must-try. So I'm gonna try it next time.
6. For some, Milkcow is a bit pricey. Well, I guess the quality of the food justifies it.

Viva, Pit Senyor guys!

Happy New Year guys! I hope you have a very good welcoming time together with your families and friends. And for those who are not able to make it to be with their loved ones, like me, I am still wishing for happiness to each and everyone of us.

Every beginning has an end and every beginning's end is a door to a new beginning. Another year has been given to us - year 2017, another twelve-month period to be awesome and wise. Let us all be thankful for it!

If not all of us, then most people has this "New Year's Resolution" whenever a new year begins. That includes me, of course. It is like a nature to humankind. Well, what can I say? I've been doing it since I was in grade school. It is like a golden rule I can't never miss. To mention a few, these were a few of my New Year's Resolution. Few because I tell you guys, there were really lots of them in my list and  some of them kinda appear to be very impossible already. From being a best student (wayback before, yeah I am a dreamer) to being the sexiest nerd you could imagine not to mention the "diet" word lol (yes - I am a feeler, too) to being one of the best professional I can be (serious moment of silence please) and everything in between. I can personally say these are all good stuffs because we are aiming for improvement of ourselves. We are not giving up to our selves and we have good plans set in each of our archives for good. After all, it's our duty to take care of us, to spoil us with what we want - what we need.

To make your 2017 an awesome year, I have here some items you can add to your bucketlist to spice up your year a lot more. Let us altogether list our goals, achieve them, and experience our life desires. Pick one or more and take the challenge to do it. I, myself will definitely choose as well, if not then all!

1. If you are a working professional, make it a habit to only check social-media-related-stuff and personal-emails-stuff after shift. Preferably, at home before, sleeping. 
- Last 2016, this snatched most of my time. I feel like I was multitasking the whole time I simultaneously checked these stuffs. My time management was a failure when it comes to this :( So, I am hoping I can improve this by now :)

2. Get advantage cards from your favorite stores and malls. 
- Because points! Think about buying your personal stuff or shopping for your fashion items and at the same time earn points that you can used to pay in your next visit. Isn't that a clever idea? (I'm dying to have because I have none so far!)

3. No fastfood for the whole year. Eat home-cooked foods only.
- Whoever survive this, well, I am willing to be your apprentice! For those that cannot, well let us just bend it a little bit. From "No Fastfood" to "once or twice a month". Shall we? Deal!

4. Survive even if there is no boyfriend or girlfriend this year.
- Human can be happy without these species. There are a lot more to venture and to explore by yourself and for yourself. Love yourself first before you love another person - this is the main foundation of a successful relationship. Also, don't forget to settle your obligation to your family first.

5. Full makeup by a total stranger.
- I have done these already together with my friend Frances Marie. Don't miss to check the story of it here!

6. Parasailing
- It's a recreational activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle, usually a boat, while attached to a specifically designed canopy wing that looks like parachute. I'll definitely try this one during summer hopefully with my friends.

7. Eat in an eat-all-you-can restaurant alone.
- Indulge yourself with sumptuous food and extraordinary wine all by yourself only. Don't bring companion hahah!

8. Staycation in a resort alone.
- Experience staycation in a resort and sleep in the room all by yourself. Isn't it scary and full of adventure? You never know when you wake up, you got a ghost bedmate already. Whoa! Good luck to that. Just be careful and don't ever do this if you are hesitant.

9. Surfing and/or wakeboarding because why not?
- Adrenaline rush would be good sometimes.

10. Take an online course. Free or not will do.
- Prove to yourself that you can manage your time. This is a challenge because you gotta discipline yourself on avoiding unnecessary clicks in Youtube and Facebook. Just focus on finishing your enrolled course pretty please. Well, for me, I opted for the #100DaysOfCode Challenge and Javascript30 course - both are online.

11. Read book at least 30 minutes a day.
- We gotta work on our vocabulary. Plus, good read means good sleep.

12. Create a blogsite and blog your hearts out in there.

13. Strive to achieve this: 3 Sources of Income and be financially stable.

14. Complete the 52-Week-Money Challenge
-  Be rich at the end of 2017.

15. Don't be a couch potato this year. Exercise.
- Hit the gym and/or engage yourself in a mountain climbing, weekly jogging, swimming and many more.

16. Sleep 7-8 hours a day.
- I know reality is better than dreams. I, myself couldn't even make a 7-hour beauty sleep. My gosh! But we will try and work to achieve this because "health"!

...and the list goes on depending on your preferred bucketlist items.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Happy new life!  Let's make a blast!

Google Developers Group (GDG) Cebu, a non-profit group of amateurs and professionals (technology users, specialists, and developers) who are enthusiasts and daily users of Google technologies, conducted its “Campus Talk Series” event for the year 2016 as a major preparation for the upcoming Devfest on November 19, 2016. GDG Cebu Team aimed to be one of the most well-known communities in the whole region so that’s why we made this “Campus Talk Series” event possible.

The Campus Talk Series took place in four known universities of Cebu province. It started last September 17, 2016 and ended last November 12, 2016. This event aimed to assist the students to be fully equipped with the latest trend of technology developed by Google fundamentally focusing on the programming and development field. During this event, students were informed about the awesome flavors of Google technology which they could freely explore and use with their school projects or even their startups in mind. They were also encouraged to think and come up with amazing startup ideas that could help not only themselves but the whole community and the world as a whole.
