Sunday Mornings at Montebello Villa Hotel

How do you spend your Sunday Mornings when you're on vacation?

Do you still wake up early or do you stay in bed late? What activities would entice you to leave the comforts of your big and soft bed?

Let me count the ways on how lively mornings can be in Cebu's Montebello Villa Hotel.


One of the dilemmas that I encountered when I recently had a staycation in Montebello, was how to wake up early. The night before, I set my alarm to ring before dawn so that I could take pictures of the sunrise.

Plus that was the best time to stroll around the hotel since people were still asleep. But I ended up dismissing the alarm and slept another hour or two. With my crazy schedule, sleep is a luxury that I couldn't resist.

Anyway, I was still able to salvage my Sunday morning at Montebello because of these four things that you can do in Cebu's only garden hotel. Even if I had to literally drag myself that day, I wouldn't miss any of these.

1. Namaste, Yoga

Starting October, Yoga comes to Montebello. This relaxing activity is free for hotel guests and for club members, you get discounted rates.

Bring your favorite yoga mat, towel, salonpas and resilience.


                     


2. Just Keep Swimming

With 2 pools located onsite, swimming is still one of the best cardio workouts that you can have. After your swim, you can have a snack or two in one of their new cabanas.

There is no crime in lounging the entire day.

For both kids and adults

3. Let's get Physical

Most hotel gyms that I've seen are always found within the main building but at Montebello, the gym facility is housed in a quiet area. And it's surrounded with glass windows so that you can have a view while exercising.

Play some music to inspire and motivate you.

4. Breakfast like no other

Forget about the buffet spread. Ask for the Breakfast menu and be daring with your food choices. The hotel restaurant, La Terraza came up with options that would make your tummy happy.

Have some feta cheese, wheat pancakes or broccoli omelette for the most important meal of the day. Add some yogurt and granola for dessert. Wash it all down with any of these smoothies: stress buster, goddess, energy booster or sweet sensation.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2. Ermingarde / Gardo Versoza = Guard 3.

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

Gambar
C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives
