You can buy the famous green tracksuit and wear the most comfortable Halloween costume but still leaves a strong impact.

LOOK: Mandani Bay’s modern Pinoy Christmas this year

It’s a spectacle as usual in Mandani Bay as the developing lifestyle destination unveils its most anticipated holiday look with “Christmas by the Bay”, a multiple tree lighting ceremony at the Mandani Bay Show Gallery on October 22.

With strict implementation of health protocols, the by-invitation only event will highlight the reveal of Mandani Bay’s Filipino Christmas star-themed decors and will cap off with a grand fireworks display and musical performances by local Cebuano artists.

An annual tradition showcasing Mandani Bay’s solidarity with the Cebuanos, this year’s Christmas by the Bay will feature a modern take on Filipino Christmas celebration, with the parol (traditional Filipino lantern) as the main design theme, all curated to exude a harmonious and blissful holiday season and a sophisticated lifestyle that is Mandani Bay.

“The parol is a symbol of hope and Christmas delight in Filipino culture, and we want to share this hope to all the Cebuanos that brighter days are ahead of us, as we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year,”

– HTLand Project Director Gilbert Ang

Much awaited for its unique designs and elegant execution, Mandani Bay’s tree-lighting ceremony has become a tradition bringing together homeowners, partners, and guests in celebration of oneness and shared delight.

Kids now allowed inside malls in Cebu

Good news! Children below 15 years old can now enter malls as long as they are accompanied by fully vaccinated guardians.

Cebu City Acting Mayor Michael Rama confirmed in his Directive No. 10-25-01 that unvaccinated minors are now allowed in indoor establishments if they are accompanied by their parents, guardians, or responsible adults who are fully vaccinated.

Recently, malls in Cebu such as SM City Cebu, SM Seaside City Cebu, Ayala Center Cebu, and Ayala Malls Central Bloc have made official announcements. Fully vaccinated adults must present vaccination cards and ID upon entry.

The public is still urged not to let the guard down and must continue to strictly maintain minimum public health standards even if they have already been fully vaccinated.

Furthermore, the new directive states that “any person below 15 years old, those who are over 65 of age, those with immunodeficiency, comorbidity, or other health risks, and pregnant women should be required to remain in their residences at all times, except for obtaining essential goods and services, or for work in industries and offices or such other permitted activities.”

New ‘Chucky’ Trailer Wants to Play in This New Syfy Series

He was indeed a stuff of our childhood’s nightmares.

Who would’ve thought that it’s already been 33 years since the demonic doll from hell terrorized kids as well as adults from the ’80s and ‘90s? Child’s Play, the iconic horror movie that was released in 1988 is currently getting a spin-off series to be produced by American cable television channel, Syfy.

For those who don’t know, the story of the first movie involved Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer on the run and as his death wish, transferred his evil soul through witchcraft to a Good Guy doll, Chucky. On a path of revenge, Chucky terrorizes everyone he met, speaking true of his sadistic self.

Having a child’s doll play a sadistic killer seemed laughable at paper, but the movie was a huge success as it spawned various sequels and spin-offs and recently, a trailer dropped citing a spin-off TV series is on its way.

Having been in development since 2019, the writer of the original film, Don Mancini, serves as the main showrunner and creator of all the 10-episodes for the first season.

“The show will be a fresh take on the franchise, allowing us to explore Chucky’s character with a depth that is uniquely afforded by the television series format, while staying true to the original vision that has terrorized audiences for over three decades now.”, Mancini said.

The spin-off is rumored a continuation of the film franchise, with young Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur) finding Chucky (once again voiced by Brad Dourif) at a yard sale. The series will also take place in Hackensack, New Jersey, the same town where Chucky terrorized in the past films.

Photo from Chucky Facebook Page

Real Chucky fans are really in for a treat as Brad Dourif, the original voice actor of the infamous Chucky, will also be voicing the demon doll itself in this new series.

Having Brad Dourif aboard in this new project is really what makes the show more iconic and in complete full circle. Many fans argue that the show may be good for nothing if Dourif himself would not be voicing Chucky.

Chucky premiered last Tuesday, October 12 on Syfy. Watch the trailer below:

Catch the most glamorous of sunsets at Cebu’s very own Tiny Santorini!

A Soothing Sight

This quaint and quiet house with a deck overlooks a lovely view of Magellan Bay with open skies and a silhouette of Cebu Island in the far distance. On sunny days, the bay explodes with deep blue hues that are absolutely calming.

Whether you’re enjoying the view out in the deck enjoying the salty air, or lounging inside in the comfort of air-conditioning, this is a superb spot for sea gazing and most especially sunset viewing.

Peace and quiet by the sea

Because the location is so far from main roads and business districts, the busy sounds of the city will be absent.

The honks, revving engines, and occasional obnoxious motorcycle will be things to miss here at Santorini Ocean View Deck, but we’re sure you wouldn’t miss the noise.
