With each savory spoonful, their relatives and locals alike were swept away on a flavor-filled journey they’d never forget.

Inside the Museum

The Mactan World Museum is not just a repository of history, but also a vibrant cultural hub. Its outdoor area will be adorned with three life-size monuments of Lapu-Lapu, King Philip II, and Ferdinand Magellan, adding to its historical significance. The museum will also host a variety of cultural activities, including bazaars, workshops, and a Filipino-themed self-portrait studio, making it a dynamic space that celebrates the local culture.

This grand project, set to open its doors in three years, is not just a museum but a gateway for locals and tourists alike to explore and celebrate the rich history and heritage of Mactan and the Philippines.

Nat’l Remember Your First Kiss Day: Reminiscing A Sweet Memory

Do you remember your first kiss? How did it feel?

The feeling after kissing someone for the first time could be a sense of awkwardness, happiness, a tingling sensation, and maybe fun. Looking back at it can bring smiles, blushes, a gentle laugh,a sigh, or a thoughtful pause as it represents a step into the labyrinth of human connection.

So why do we celebrate it on this specific day? Why do we even look back on it?

History of Remember Your First Kiss Day

The history of this chaotic day remains mysterious as the person who started this is unknown. Even if it’s an undefinable day, this day, April 26, has caught many people recalling their first kiss experiences. Thus, it became a tradition! Pretty strange, but also a fun way of remembering nostalgic memories.

Well, this day is not just about the act of kissing. It actually delves deeper into the emotions, memories, and connections associated with it.

Reflecting on our Growth Through Reminiscing Our First Kiss

This day is a form of encouragement for us to reflect on our growth. May it be related to romantic relationships, but mostly to the lessons we have learned from those early love experiences. Although some people are fortunate to still have the first person they kissed sticking around them, others completely separated themselves from their first kiss. Our different experiences are weirdly amazing because they indicate how things circulate differently in every individual. Some people think that their first kiss was funny, some people think that it was really romantic, it was awkward, and some people don’t think of anything at all.

The emotions that our first kiss memory taps are peculiar. However, we can’t deny the fact that it still holds a special place in our hearts no matter what emotion we felt at that time.

How Does A First Kiss Feel?

1. Awkward

You might feel nervous while doing it and the uncertainty on what to do next, leading the atmosphere to be awkward.

2. Embarrassing

Especially with the thought that you have no background experience in kissing or you fear for the other person’s reaction.

3. Delightful

A positive feeling as it kind of feels like a new achievement.

4. Confusing

You might end up feeling confused if you did right, or how you guys did it.

5. Satisfying

Successfully having your first kiss can bring a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, especially if it’s something you’ve been anticipating or working up the courage to do.

Celebrating the Beauty of Human Connection

The highlight of this day is the beauty of human connection that was shaped in that specific moment. The connection after kissing embodies a profound and intimate exchange of emotions, affection, and love. The small details of kissing are the factors that meld the beauty of this moment. The gentle touch of lips that’s similar to a butterfly landing on a flower, the warmth of breath that’s like the air we feel on empty fields, and the tender eyes sparkling like stars.

And so, today, let’s take a moment to reflect on our first kiss experiences. Let that nostalgia take over you just for today. Share your first kiss memory below!

If you haven’t had your first kiss yet, don’t worry! Your moment will come, and hopefully it will be a magical experience.

“Love to Travel”: The International Travel Festival 2024 Is Coming This May!

Cebu, are you ready? Less than a week from now, the 9th Edition of the International Travel Festival (ITF 2024) will open at Waterfront Hotels and Casino Cebu.

Photo from The International Travel Festival

The International Travel Festival (ITF 2024) is gearing up to be one of the largest and most exciting tourism-focused events in Cebu, with over 150 exhibitors already confirmed as of this writing. As anticipation builds, travelers and enthusiasts alike are looking forward to the various opportunities, experiences, and insights that the festival promises to offer. Aside from business owners and companies, there are also over 12 colleges and universities around Cebu that are participating in the event to help students uncover insider tips and deals in the industry.

What Is The ITF 2024?

The International Travel Festival (ITF 2024) is an annual premier travel bazaar for travel enthusiasts. The event is where thousands of limited-time offers and deals within the Visayas region are offered by corporations and companies in the travel industry.

According to one of ITF 2024’s founders, Matt Poonin, the concept of the ITF 2024 was aimed to boost sales during low peak seasons such as during the month of July which is a low travel season in the Philippines, but high-peak abroad.

The Founders and Their Mission

In a bustling hive of Cebu’s travel enthusiasts, a game-changing idea took place among a circle of friends. Meet the brilliant minds behind the prestigious International Travel Festival: Juliet Amazona, Sheramie Leung (deceased), Thannya Pino, Matt Poonin, Tim Tio, and Stephanie Villahermosa. Together, they’re on a mission to redefine travel in Cebu, one innovative concept at a time.

These visionaries gathered with a shared passion for exploration and innovation. With their collective minds and unwavering determination, they started their mission to have a collaboration of brands and companies who are willing to offer budget-friendly rates for the public. “We want to put them in one area as they offer deals for the public market within the region, specifically the Cebuanos.”, said Matt Poonin during our interview. “This year was supposed to be our 11th edition; however, because of the pandemic, we had to pause the event for safety purposes. So, for the year 2024, we are celebrating the ITF 2024’s 9th year. Hopefully, it will continue to increase tourism in both outbound and inbound travel.”, she added.

“Love To Travel”, The 9th Anniversary Theme and What to Expect

For the 9th edition of the International Travel Festival, guests are to expect bigger and better things to see, such as the following:

Venue

The event will be held at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino – Cebu City wherein a bigger space is allotted for the guests and exhibitors. When asked why they chose the Waterfront, Ms. Poonin gleamed and said that it was time for a more luxurious feel, “The Waterfront has been the go-to venue for large events and international concerts in the city, so why not the ITF 2024?”

New and More Partners

Guests and participants can expect more options and offers during the event especially since there are new hotel chains and airlines partnering up with the ITF 2024.

ITF Food City

The organizing committee really stepped up in terms of offering convenience to the guests as they also have “The Food City” which is where tasty meals, proud Cebuano delicacies, and international cuisines can be ordered. So, you don’t have to worry about getting hungry as ITF 2024 got your guts covered!

More Engagement Activities

Not only are there up to 70% off on travel offers, there are also activities for the whole family! On the last day of the event, beloved animated characters will be strolling around the event space for a meet and greet and also some performances. Kids and kids at heart can enjoy nostalgic moments and can join games to win prizes worth a thousand smiles!

The theme for the 9th edition of ITF 2024 is “Love to Travel” which is inline with the current Department of Tourism slogan “Love Philippines”. By being one with DOT, ITF 2024 shows their support for the department’s efforts on improving the tourism industry as well as promoting new travel destinations for both the locals and tourists.

Tips

Here are some useful tips to take note of according to ITF 2024’s founder, Ms. Poonin:

There are peak times – Just like any other whole day events, the ITF 2024 has peak hours such as during early morning and late evening or at 8PM. Just remember that the venue is open from 9AM to 10PM, so take advantage of the mid-morning calmness.
Prepare your wallets – This is a no-brainer and should be kept in mind all the time that when you attend the ITF 2024, you should prepare your wallets because deals are everywhere! Who knows, your next trip to Palawan will only cost you a peso for the airfare, right?
Watch out for raffle promos – ITF 2024 is one of the times when travel and tourism sectors offer deals that you could not get enough of! So, it’s best to follow the International Travel Festival page and other Facebook pages of companies participating in the event since it’s where they will announce raffle promos and tickets.

Whether you’re a luxury traveler or one who targets budget-friendly options, the International Travel Festival has everything you need! So, stay tuned and we’ll see you there, Sugboanons!

From Nokia’s Bricks to the Smartest Phones: Timeline of Phones in PH

Remember the pixelated opening animation of Nokia? Or how about the trackball on a Blackberry?

Today, as we celebrate National Telephone Day, let’s dive into the evolution of phones in the Philippines!

Early 2000s

The Nokia 3310, 3210, and 5110 are the ones crowned for the most bought phone in the Philippines as they are known for their durability and long battery life. It is also hailed as one of the most successful phones ever with over 126 million units sold globally!

Mid-2000s

The earliest flip phone model was the Motorola Razr V3 which became popular to many Filipinos because of its thin and sleek design. As compared to Nokia’s models, this phone had colored graphics.

Late 2000s

Initially targeted for career individuals, the BlackBerry phones quickly gained popularity after Filipinos loved the QWERTY keyboard and their secure messaging options.

2010s

Smartphones began hitting the market in 2010 where iPhone and Android models were rising. Samsung Galaxy phones were a hit at the time because of their impressive cameras.

2016

Filipinos love budget-friendly options, which is why smartphone brands started marketing affordable options as soon as Apple iPhones were released in the Philippines. Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime and OPPO F1s hit the stores in 2016 and were immediately embraced by tech-savvy Pinoys.

2020

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the demand for phones with better internet connectivity and allows remote or online activities to go seamlessly. This is when brands like Xiaomi, Realme, and Vivo started gaining popularity due to their affordable options without comprising the features.

Present

Recently, we now have more and more brands coming into the smartphone market such as Huawei, OnePlus, and even Google Pixel competing with established brands like Apple and Samsung.

And there you have it, Sugboanons! From the humble beginnings of indestructible Nokia bricks to the sleek smartphones of today, the evolution of phones in the Philippines has been quite a ride. Until then, keep texting, swiping, and dropping your phones (oops!)—it’s all part of the adventure!

Nat’l Lingerie Day: Embracing Self-Confidence & Femininity

Let’s celebrate femininity in an extra way by celebrating lingerie day!

There’s more to lingerie than what meets the eye. It’s about being confident, expressing yourself, and accepting your sensuous side. Each piece tells its own tale.

What Is Lingerie?

According to Wacoal, lingerie is used to refer to women’s undergarments. It came from the Latin word “lineus”, which means “made from linen.”

When people hear the word lingerie, the first thing that comes into their minds is probably a piece of clothing used to seduce someone. But does it really just exist to attract other people?

Lingerie isn’t about seducing — it’s about how it makes you feel!

Screen grab from Victoria’s Secret YouTube Channel

Choosing the ideal lingerie piece holds a remarkable power, as it has the ability to elevate one’s self-confidence and evoke a sense of inner beauty and allure. There’s an inherent magic in the diverse forms of lingerie which each possess the capacity to unveil a different version of ourselves. Whether it’s the delicate lace of a bralette or the smooth satin of a chemise, lingerie has a transformative effect, allowing us to embody a heightened sense of femininity and confidence.

On the other hand, it also celebrates intimacy and connection. Whether it’s a great date night or just a peaceful evening at home, putting it on has the ability to elevate any moment into a cherished memory. It’s a subtle yet powerful reminder to cherish the beauty of closeness and the intimacy shared with our partners. By embracing lingerie as an expression of sensuality and desire, we cultivate an environment where love and connection flourish, enriching our relationships and deepening our bonds.

Lastly, let us not forget to appreciate the craftsmanship behind every lingerie design. From intricate lace to delicate embroidery, each piece is a work of art, blending style and functionality seamlessly. Design brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Cosabella, and others are always pushing the boundaries by creating lingerie that is both beautiful and practical.

So don’t hesitate to buy one, and wear it on! Whether you’re preparing for a memorable event or simply pampering yourself, keep in mind that lingerie encompasses more than aesthetics alone. It’s a vessel for embracing your self-assurance, conveying your sensuality, and recognizing your inherent beauty.

According to Mayo Clinic, this is the skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This commonly happens to teenagers, but can appear to people at all ages.

The Common Causes of Acne

Excess oil (Sebum) production. Sebum production includes carrying dead skin cells through follicles of the skin which can possibly be blocked. The built up particles cause a bump which will later on become a pimple.
Bacteria. This can badly affect your skin, causing unwanted build ups which lead to several skin skin problems such as acne.
Stress. This does not really cause acne, but it can trigger it.
Hormonal Changes. It commonly happens to women, especially before or during their period. When hormones stimulate the glands, the body produces more oil that can block the pores causing your skin to break out.
Smoking. There is no direct link between smoking and acne, but smoking can speed up skin aging and restrict your skin’s healing time,which roots up to acne problems.

Basic Skincare Routine Guide for Acne-Prone Skin

1. Gently cleanse your skin. Do it twice a day during the day and at night before going to bed. It is best to double cleanse.

2. Apply toner. After washing your face, immediately apply toner. This cleanses the remaining dirt that your face wash or soap may have missed.

3. Use water-based moisturizer. It is best for you to avoid greasy moisturizer. Choose a water-based moisturizer to hydrate your skin and remove patches through rough textures.

4. Apply sunscreen. Apply this over your moisturizer during the day to help protect your skin from UV ray damages.

5. Exfoliate twice or thrice a week. It helps you remove dead skin cells to improve the appearance of your skin.

Simple Tips to Avoid Acne

Gently clean your face. Towels and sponges have a tendency to accumulate bacteria. When you use these on your face, you run the danger of them becoming caught in your pores. Instead, use your fingertips to gently massage the cleaner.
Avoid touching your face. You should also let your zits alone and avoid popping them.Limit usage of make-up. Avoid layering too many makeup products because they might clog pores and create acne. At the same time, make sure to clean your brushes and instruments on a regular basis, and remove your makeup before going to bed.
Do not over-exfoliate. Using too many products on a daily basis, including scrubs, toners, and peels, might produce unpleasant skin reactions and aggravate acne.
Maintain a healthy diet. A balanced diet provides a variety of skin benefits that keep it appearing smooth and healthy. Look for nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
Drink water regularly. Regularly drinking water also promotes a healthier skin and is beneficial to other health-related concerns. Reduce stress. Chronic stress can cause chemical and hormonal imbalances in your body that speed up your sebaceous glands. When you don’t manage your stress properly, you risk making your skin problems worse.

Remember that patience plays a vital role in avoiding acne. You have to be consistent in your routine, and have enough patience to witness its results. If you are unsure about the products you are using, or what are the proper products to use, it is best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
