Be Creative at Upside Down World Cebu

Last August I went home for my Mom's birthday and I was excited to take her to the new place to bond with friends and be creative at Upside Down World Cebu! The first time I had an upside down experience when we were in Yexel's Toy Museum in Manila Ocean Park and I saw one in Pattaya, Thailand, but didn't visit. So I was thrilled what are the positions and poses to all 11 themes. Yes, there are 11 themed rooms! 

Upside Down World Cebu is located at 2F Unit A-204-206, City Time Square Phase 2 Mantawi International Drive, Mandaue City. You can easily spot it from the entrance of City Time Square.

This is the reception area. They will assign one staff to take photos of you during your tour inside the Upside Down World. 

They required you to take off your shoes and leave your bags. They have lockers for your stuff.

Let's begin the tour!

When you want fruits, but you have to reach them upside down.

Power lunch with Mommy!

"Let's cook something different."

"I have no idea what I am trying to convey here."

"How to check your fridge"



"When I see food."

"Mommy believes now with the power of Ariel!" (not sponsored)

"Let me get the towels"

"I don't know why, but I love this frog basket"



"Crystal ball, please show me who is my soulmate." CHOS!

"How chill really for me."

"Let's play? GAME!"

This is me after I turned myself upside down. Pagoda besh! HAHAHA

It was a great experience being in an upside down world. I exert efforts on my poses and my Mom really enjoyed it. I wish I brought my niece that day too. I recommend this place for the whole family and friends to visit and be crazy, creative and wild turning your world upside down.

So Fine as Pineapples

The beach is always the best escape from the city life. That is why I am lucky that Cebu is always my go to. Not as my get away, but to visit home where my family. In Cebu, you will never go wrong with Bantayan Island for white sand and clear blue water to relax and enjoy swimming. I don't mind traveling for four hours for this paradise.

Everything has been so fine, just like these pineapples printed on my swimsuit from Light in the Box. Do you know that this is reversible swimsuit? I can wear this to my another beach trip. A must have for a girl who loves going to the beach.

Camp Saya at Kota Beach Bantayan Island

Last month, I went home to Cebu for my braces adjustment (expensive ha) but really also to visit the family and bond with them. We went to our hometown last April and unfortunately, the weather was raining during our entire stay and we left without enjoying the beach. Cries. We decided to catch up with waves again so I hurriedly booked my tickets home. Everything was perfect. We went to Bantayan Island in Sta. Fe and stayed in Kota Beach, also known now as "Camp Sawi" a movie for those heartbroken that would like to forget everything about their past relationship. 

But I called it Camp Saya (happy) because everything was perfect when we went there the weather, the hues, the waves and I was traveling with my family. 

I am so happy that I finally wearing one of my new swimsuits from Light in the Box. I really love their online shop. They have the perfect collection of all seasons! Got my winter clothes when I was in Japan, spring dress when I was in Taiwan and now swimsuit for summer. 

I love the details of this swimsuit.
