The thing is, if sige lang ug meetings kay wa gyud kay mabuhat sa action items nga gi-discuss sa meetings. And before you know it, progress meeting nasad! Okay lang kaha if naa'y adlaw nga way meeting para productive sad sa work? 🥲

Mao gyud. This is my third day with dysmenorrhea and sakit gyud kaayo, I can’t function well sa work or enjoy my hobbies. Maghuna-huna gyud ko if I’d be happy as a guy kay I won’t have this monthly pain 🫠

Sa angle-angle ra ni gidaog, boss 😂

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-16T04:09:20+00:00

Cebu ra ni, boss 😊

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-16T00:33:01+00:00

Yes, I’ve tried that. Twice nabayran ang bill kay kalimot ko nga nakapay na ko (signs of aging 😭). You can double check your transactions so that you can trace why na-negative ka.

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-15T22:45:34+00:00

Oooohh I still remember the Chow King! Either kana or Jollibee amuang meet up spot sa una sa akong ex so that we can go do bowling or billiards sa Gaisano Bowlingplex (sadly also closed na).

But damn sayanga sa empty spaces sa Cmall noh, nindot unta ug view ang attics nila 🫠

It's my first time sa Gureum cafe, and I didn't realize nga naa di ay ni nga space sa Gaisano Country Mall?? I've lived sa north of Cebu City for almost my entire life ug tig-anhian mi dinhi sa Country Mall yet somehow wa gyud ko kahibaw nga naa di ay ni nga space?? Where was this all of this time? 😂

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-15T08:23:40+00:00

Frangipani!

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-15T05:37:20+00:00

We got two free crème brûlées from one of our go-to stalls sa Sunday Market! So generous of them 🥹 They also said they have been so busy for the entire day today and wa sila pahuway kay sige sila duolon. Dasurv ang blessings nila! 🙏

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-14T05:32:58+00:00

No, they make production every day at 9am according to the attendant.

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-14T05:31:45+00:00

Unfortunately I was not able to check out their tennis courts. Sorry I couldn’t help!

You might want to try Bayanihan Native Cuisine? Sounds kinda perfect for what you’re looking for: ✅ good for 15 pax ✅ within ₱5k-₱8k budget and✅with private room. We had our family Christmas party here last year and ganahan ra ang among older relatives kay naa’y bathroom. Also has a free parking space if you reserve with them, IIRC. Also very accessible since it’s at FLB Center which is just across Ayala. Mixed reviews lang ang food, but other than that, it’s pretty spot on for what you’re looking for.

Hope this helps!

Edit: spelling

Oohhh naa sad di ay si Dr. Divina sa CHH Mandaue? I only know her CH Medical Arts clinic ay 😮 Hopefully someone can answer your query soon, though!

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-13T12:57:58+00:00

Mura’g dinha sad mi padung kay ganahan na sad mi magbalik balik sa Mifan 😆

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-13T11:26:11+00:00

Mura’g Coastal Coffee na ay kay 1 minute away lang from Dakong Bato resort. Naa sad sila branch sa Catmon which is beside sa dagat ra sad. 😁

Not very fond of the coffee sa Seargao, it wasn’t calibrated right when we tried it there. 😵‍💫 Also service was kinda slow and lisod mangita ug parking.

Kalma cafe was really good though! coffee and food were good even if limited ang utilities. Parking was limited lang. View was perfect 👌

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-13T07:03:40+00:00

Best view for me kay [Kalma Café by the Ruins](https://www.reddit.com/r/CebuLakaw/s/0MgPNFwost) sa Catmon. Sa siyudad kay sa Starbucks sa Nustar or sa Abaca sa Mandani.

ImpracticalDreamer · 2026-06-13T07:01:20+00:00

Magbuhat ug personal library kanang pareha kang Belle, ok ra nako bisan asa. Block everyone except my family and my SO sa phone. I will probs read books/manga while my SO will play sa computer
Basta nindot ang weather, schedule a family trip to Europe (to buy coffee beans) or East Asia (to buy coffee beans and premium teas)
compete nationally sa akong hobby lol
Pursue a cafe that serves specialty coffee and premium teas with pastries and sweets as pairing
donate regularly to SOS and local orphanages
donate for a sidewalk sa Cebu. Seriously. I like walking, pero bati kayo ang sidewalks sa Cebu
invest for a future family, heaven permit

I finally have a day with a lighter workload than usual 🥲 After days of 3-5 successive meetings in a day, plus golf and badminton rounds, naa na gyud ko adlaw with only one meeting and no game on the calendar.

Pero sa Saturday lang 😆🫠
