Must-try Vegan Burgers in Cebu

Oh George’s Vegan Quinoa Burger

This one is the most recent vegan burger I have tried and I have never been delightfully surprised. Definitely a treat with no guilt. It was scrumptious and filling. The salad on the side also adds that freshness to it. The burger highlights the quinoa and bean patty with hummus, and I would definitely get it again when I have the chance.

Oh George is located in Ayala Center Cebu Ground floor near Uniqlo.

Vegan Cebu City’s Vegan Mushroom Burger

This is the first vegan burger I had and I was pleasantly surprised with how it felt just like a regular burger but with less of the oily-ness. Breaded Mushroom patty with tomatoes and fresh greens make a good combination. Easily one of my faves.

Vegan Cebu City previously known as VGN is located at Molave St. near Padgett Place.

Gaia’s Vegan Black Burger

This is my go-to order whenever I got to Ayala Central Bloc because its easily accessible and delicious and also comes with a side of kamote fries.

Gaia stall is located the Ayala Central Bloc Foodcourt.

3 Eco-friendly stores in Cebu

With the high alert on the global problem we call Climate Change, I think all of us should move forward with sustainability in mind. And with that here are some eco-friendly stores in the queen city of the south, Cebu City.

Amgu – Zero Waste store

Amgu is a zero-waste store, where you can basically bulk buy. Bring your own container like a glass jar or the like and get refills without the additional plastics. The goal is to lessen single-use plastics by bringing your own containers to fill.

Location: 5A Elizabeth Pond St., Kamputhaw 6000 Cebu City, Philippines

The Little Pantry

The Little Pantry focuses more on health-friendly food products. They are also on grabmart so you can order online.

Location: 22 Pres. Quirino St., Kasambagan, Cebu City

Green Shelf Cebu

Greenshelf is both a health and eco-friendly store. They have bulk buy or refill options too and a wide selection of health-friendly goods. They also have their own online where you can order: https://www.greenshelfcebu.com/

Location: Banilad Town Centre 6000 Cebu City, Philippines

UPDATE (March 31, 2023)

Sad to say that all these stores seems to have closed.

On-going K-dramas to checkout on Netflix

I’ve been having a k-drama slump recently and not knowing which k-dramas to watch that I ended up discovering these on-going k-dramas.

Alchemy of souls

Alchemy of souls is sure to interest you if you’re into stories that have fantasy and magic in them. It has elements of comedy and romance with a really good storyline to go with it. Almost forgot to mention that Nuest/Wanna One Hwang Minhyun is part of the main cast and the male leads are all good looking. Can’t wait for how it will progress since there are still more episodes to be released.

Cafe Minamdang

I couldn’t help but be excited to watch this one since one of my favorite actor, Seo In Guk is playing the main character. And this is also sure to interest you if want stories with mystery and crime. And even when it has suspenseful elements there are also light and comedic ones.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo

I don’t know much about this one yet, since I haven’t started watching this. But I had to include it here since I’ve seen other people say good things about it and its currently in the Top 10 on Netflix. I already added this to my list, so should you.

Happy Watching!!!

Activities you should try at least once in your life

Lately I’ve been struck with something called quarter life crisis and through a series of breakdowns and what nots. I have come here to share some of the activities that might help you get out of that slump and see some inspirations to continue on despite all the bad things going on around us.

Aerial Yoga

I’ve been aching to try this activity since I came across it on my Instagram but never really had the means to because it was either too pricey or at a place that was slightly further away from me or the schedule just does not fit. But when I saw that one of my friend from way back was already an aerial yoga teacher, I immediately messaged her asking about the said activity. I went in there thinking I would only ever do it once but no, I think I may have fallen in love with it.

Aerial Yoga is mostly the same with mat yoga but instead you have a hammock and a lot of swinging but it still brings you the same tranquility and peace mat yoga offers. I personally love the inversions because its just a whole new experience giving you a totally different perspective.

If you’re looking for the sign to try it, THIS IS IT!!! Aerial yoga is offered at Citigym, Waterfront Cebu for 300 pesos/per session and an additional of 100 pesos for the hammock rental.

Free diving

I know you’ve already seen this all across your social media but you definitely should give this a try. Before I got the hang of how to duck-dive properly, I was just as scared as any of you would be. But as long as your not doing it alone and you have an exert around there is nothing to fear. Just keep calm and enjoy playing with the fishes.

Free diving gives you that slow motion kind of moment and a different sense of tranquility. I think its the perfect escape from the fast-paced and noisy city life. One for your bucket list!!!

Highly suggest free diving at Moalboal with the sardines. A lot of locals can guide you and there’s lots of good food around too.

Paragliding

This one is definitely a scary one. Right before the take off is the scariest part because you have to wait for the wind, yes that means it relies a lot on the power of nature. But the most beautiful thing is the part where you are literally flying over everything and all else just seems so small. You realize that this is what birds eye view is like. It is definitely breath-taking.

Me and my friends did this at Oslob Cebu Paragliding.
