Promoting Cebu's Lifestyle, Fashion and Events for Best Cebu Blog (BCB) 2010

I may not be a true blue Sugbuanon, I may not know the whole history of the Queen City of the South and I may not have the personality of a Cebuano; however, the only thing I know that's certain is my unconditional love for Cebu. This blog can indubitably attest to that!

From a personal blog, this blog has grown and evolved to discovering Cebu's lifestyle, learning Cebu's fashion trend and promoting Cebu's events.

This blog has stood strong and gained loyalty every now and then.

In connection to this entry, let me give you a link on my Holy Week Escapade in Bantayan Island last April 2010. This was a planned travel where I made a personal project of experiencing and learning the lifestyle of a local resident (Manong Noc-Noc) in Bantayan.

This personal project has been a hobby that I would love to do yearly, if possible.

Let this post be my official entry for the Best Cebu Blogs of 2010. An entry of totality! The totality of this blog is its edge for this contest!

Cheers!

Silliman University Cheerdance Competition 2010 Result

I will definitely say CCS won this Contest!!! I don't know whats going on or if there is a MAMBO JUMBO s**t that is going on...but you look for yourself!

The failure of 2 stunts is not enough to DOMINATE the TOTALITY of the ROUTINES PERFORMANCE!

Nursing Performance - Champion

CCS - 1st Runner Up

I'll try to find a Youtube version of these video so that I can embed it easily here.

On your opinion, what do you think? Who do you think won?

Hi Guys! I am asking for your time to please vote for my very good friend, Candice Jayari for Ms. Bayawan! link here http://www.missbayawan.com/candidates/4/

She is currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy in Silliman University. She is a table tennis varsity during her High School years.
We met and became friends during the Adventure Envoy. Another entry is the Angels of Adventure.

She was really shy before...and I am one of those people who kept on encouraging her to join beauty pageants because I know she has the potential to be a beauty queen.

She has also joined Ms. Dumaguete 2008.

I wish you all the best Candz, God Bless!

What is behind FINLUST???

I've heard this question so many times, even with my friends, asking me what is behind the title of this blog, FINLUST. Is there a secret to tell?

Well, the answer is YES! There is a story behind the word, FINLUST...and I think it's about time to do something about it.

FINLUST is composed of 2 words: Fin and Lust which means 'the end of lusting'. However, it does not end there.

So, I have decided to make it a contest.

Here are the mechanics:

Make an article or a story of what you think is the real story behind the word FINLUST.
Use the keyphrase, the end of lusting, targeting the homepage.
Send the URL of your story or article to finlust@gmail.com

The story or the article that is most similar to the real story behind FINLUST will win the following:

a GLOBE TATOO
Php 500.00 worth of load (any network will do)
other freebies

The posting period is until December 14, 2009 (Monday). That will give me enough time to read all the contestants' stories. The winner will get his/her prize on Christmas, Dec 25, 2009.

Wish everyone good luck. Cheers!

The Last Goodbye - Winner

Congratulations!!! There is already a winner for my simple contest! Thank you and congratulations.

The Last Goodbye

A poetry to reflect on. I'm really not sure what category this poetry belongs and it really kinda suck, but what the heck...here it goes:

The Last Goodbye

Please let me free
Right now, I'm okay and over you
It did took me some time and assurances, but now i can see
Nevertheless, I will always be a friend to you
Count on that my friend
Except, if you don't want to
Rude words I've thrown, hope you can forgive
You who badmouth and think false
Apology I'm asking is pure, please believe
Not like others who commits the same things again
God knows my love was real, but now
It's gone for you to feel
Love comes and goes
It's up to you to brag its moment, because
Goodbyes' door will always be open.

Because of this poetry, I'll be having a contest. Yes, a CONTEST for everyone! There is something in this poetry, a password or a code that needs to be unlocked. Whatever it is, that's yours to discover.

There will be a price for the contest don't worry (I'll update this blog this weekend for the price), but for now let's talk about it's process:

This Is The Day...

Sorry for not blogging lately...I just got very busy with our Intramural...especially Dance Sport... BTW! The Dance Sport Competition is TODAY!!! Please spend at least half a minute of your time to pray for us...It will be most appreciated...Thank you. Well, I got to go now...bye...

Sad...

First and foremost, I want to apologize for not blogging yesterday...I got really busy that day because it was the Fiesta of our City.

(What happened Yesterday, Nov. 25)
During lunch, we (me and my High School friends) went to MDP's really big house...just realized that they're very RICH!!! Wahhehehehe! Anyhow, we went to Preslyn's House after until evening...and lastly, we went to Ralph's House which is usually the last place we go to for the past 5 years now...It was indeed GLUTTONY!

(Today, Nov. 26)
I went home at 4 am...Then we will be having our Intramural's openning by 6 am...WHAT THE!...I had less than 2 hours of sleep and I haven't ate my breakfast...Grrr!

By arriving to school, I was indubitably sleepy...and the for today was the following:

Soft Ball --> CCS (that's us) vs. Engineering = Engineering
Soccer --> CCS vs. Nursing = Nursing

So, as what you can see, we lost the 2 consecutive games...Wahehehe! That's because these 2 Colleges are really competitive...besides, we had a close fight...

BTW, we were practicing a while ago with our dance sport...and boy it was awsome! I think, we'll be doing GREAT during the final performance (I AM REALLY HOPING...). Aside from that, our trainer introduced his other dancers who will also be helping us to win the GOLD! Wahehehe! Well, that's it for now...nyt guyz...
