Enjoy Nature at Terrazas de Flores, Busay + GIVEAWAY!
Nothing makes a great success story than the kind that is built from the love of ones family which is exactly how this botanical wonderland came to be.
Terrazas de Flores is the only flower terraces in the Philippines located in Malubog, Cebu City. It’s a quick 15 minute drive from JY Square, approximately 1 km away from the La Tegola- Busay road and is home to 127 species of plants and flowers, beautiful art and fascinating poetry.
This flower terraces, which was designed by the owner himself with the help of upland farmers, is his expression of love for his 3 children. During a sit down session with Mr. Barrameda, he shared with us how many aspects of the area were created with his children in mind. His plans of creating a space for local artists to display their works is with his eldest daughter in mind as she is also a very talented portrait artist.
Here, guests can enjoy a selection of coffee, refreshments, pastries and simple yet delicious meals at a reasonable price. For a small entrance fee of P100.00, guests can enjoy the view, take beautiful photos, enjoy the scenery and relax by their cabanas.
FOOD
Terrazas de Flores serves wine, cold cuts & cheese platters, coffee, cakes and other refreshments.
While their menu is still being finalized, you can already enjoy some of their dishes for a little over a hundred. I suggest the mango cheesecake!
THE STRUCTURES
There are tons of places to hang out and enjoy the scenery at Terrazas de Flores. Whether you prefer hanging out by a small pond, inside their glass fixtures or outside surrounded by nature; there is definitely a spot open and welcome for you to relax at. I personally enjoyed hanging by the cabanas sipping on wine and sharing warm stories with a good friend.
THE GARDEN
As mentioned earlier, Terrazas de Flores is home to 127 species of plants and flowers that can be appreciated through the terrace formation in which the area was designed after. It’s the perfect location for photo ops, date nights or even just to take a break from the city and unwind.

What Women Wished Men Knew About Fashion with Junior Chambers International (JCI) LIVE Footage
Was given the opportunity to share my expertise with the brother of JCI, Cebu. It was such an honor to be able to share my knowledge with these amazing men who make such an effort in order to make our world a better place.
For those who wanted to catch the Facebook Live session, here it is:
Thank you so much for having me over, JCI brothers (esp. Mark Jamelo).
Godspeed,

Pajamas? Unisex looks? God knows.
Over-sized polo & Boots: H&M| Pants: Giordano
It’s pretty clear at this point that my fashion sense is pretty neurotic. One day I’ll be in military boots and a camo and later that afternoon, I’ll be in a tiny slip dress and heels. I don’t know what it is about me but perhaps it has to do with my impeccable indecisiveness or my curiosity but I can never really stick to just one persona or look or fashion sense. Hopefully, that makes you love me even more.
This is actually the second time I wore this outfit and I guess it’s just a really safe go-to outfit for me when I want to be able to move with ease while looking like I actually put some effort into dressing up. You see, my trick is, if I don’t know what to wear, I’ll stick to a monochromatic look. It works every time!

Banker Stripes and Being A Little Bit More Feminine Than Usual
Over the past months, I’ve been getting invited to more and more events which isn’t exactly a good thing for my backlogs unless I am extra vigilant with my postings. Having said this, I think I’m going to have to update Issaplease more often so please expect multiple postings within a day.
For today’s 2nd post, I’ll be sharing what I wore to yesterday’s event for Sushi Boy Japanese Inspired Restaurant. Truthfully, I only bought this top because I wanted to featured it in this video and I was hoping to never have to wear it again mostly because it’s a tube top and God knows I hate my big fat arms.
However, the lack of clothes (I have 2 XL trash bags of unwashed clothes. HELP!) pulled me into wearing this banker striped tube top which surprisingly worked well with a chiffon cardigan I had lying around- also another piece of clothing I thought I would never actually wear again. So surprisingly, the clothes I actually tried to stay away from actually helped me create a soft, feminine and beautiful look. Surprise, surprise!
I paired them with my light pink (?) pointy heels because I could not and still cannot find my white ones and well, I guess it all worked out pretty well.
Needless to say, I am in love with this outfit and along with lots of other things I’ve realized about myself over the past months, I have also learned to embrace the fear of the unknown and just jump into it- even or especially in terms of fashion. I mean, come on, they’re just clothes.
Cardigan & Banker Striped Dress: Gaisano Grand (Car-car)
Heels: Hm| Hair: Bridges
Yes, I shop at Gaisano (AND I LOVE IT!),

Sushi Boy Introduces New Japanese- Filipino Inspired Items!
There’s a common misconception that good Japanese food usually hurts ones pocket but at Sushi Boy, anyone can enjoy great tasting food that is budget-friendly without sacrificing quality or taste.
Their menu includes a variety of maki, sushi, rice bowls, sashimi and yakimono among many others with their bestselling items being: gyudon, ramen-tantan, gyoza, and California maki using only high-quality ingredients for each and every masterpiece.
This contemporary sushi bar combines everything we love about Japanese oriental food and Western industrial interiors to give us not only a gastronomical experience but a visually pleasing experience at the same time. With their distinct container van housing, Sushi Boy is a 101-square-meter restaurant that can accommodate over a hundred diners making it a perfect place for dates, small intimate gatherings and even parties!
Sushi Bar takes pride in merging Japanese and Filipino tastes which makes them stand out among the rest. Their takes on Chicken Karaage, Crispy Tuna Sisig and Tuna Salpicao are modern tasting and are a refreshing twist to the more traditional flavors, making great additions to their existing menu.
Sushi Boy is currently located at Ouano Avenue, NRA , Subangdaku, Cebu City, Philippines but will soon but opening their second branch at the Garden Bloc of Cebu IT Park!

I can also do talks about love, life, how to cook an awesome 5 course meal (even if I’ve never actually made an entire 5 course meal), how to purchase the best car, etc.
Basically, I have acquired the skill to bs my way through everything. just kidding. I’m a horrible liar :))
All jokes aside, I am blessed beyond measure and my heart is so full.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Universe/ God/ Allah/ The Academy/ My parents/ Netflix/ Yaya Jovey!! Thaaaank yoooooou!

Clean house
Spent a good 2-3 hours cleaning and scrubbing down every corner I could reach. The house is spick and span but now I don’t wanna walk inside or breathe inside because I don’t wanna make a mess anymore… so instead, I’m chilling on the balcony, listening to some Youtube video playing in the background and watching my neighbors. ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAS A PUG!!!!! Again, there is a pug RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME and I just wanna run downstairs and love it but I gotta get ready for a talk later so I’m just gonna have to love it from the third floor.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are entering adulthood. Ooooh, mama!!!
Good Night
It’s on the floor now… we’ll get a bedframe soon.
We’re almost there!
