A more comfortable way to get to Temple of Leah in Cebu, aside from taking your own private car, is through taking a taxi cab. But, most of the taxi driver normally charge a fixed rate. This is locally called a “pakyaw” agreement wherein the fees range from Php500 to Php800 round trip. This round trip agreement includes the taxi driver to wait for you, to take you back downhill.

But just recently, I was able to realize from a few tries in hailing a taxi, that some would just actually agree for a meter rate plus Php50! The trip I had from Mabolo Cebu City area to Temple of Leah actually just costs Php275, that already includes the plus Php50. You save a lot!

I also discover that there's a way commuting via jeepney, going to and from Temple of Leah, though there are only a few. That's a lot of savings and more to discover while you go uphill!

I often would walk some streets before or after work to get familiar with the places. Just last month, I discovered a place nearby that I can rent movies.

These are NOT pirated movies. Of course, why would I rent pirated movies if I can buy the same price of a pirated copy? Much more, the quality of it's video would only make you throw away your remote control if you find the video freezes at the middle of the movie!

What and Where?

Video City is the place that I am telling you about. Here in Cebu, this is located at Hi-Way, Mandaue, a few steps from Jollibee Mandaue and across the North Atrium Building. This is where I just recently rented videos.

Membership

The membership would only require you to fill out an information sheet, a few questions, one valid ID with picture and a Php5.00 as a membership fee. You will then receive your Video City Membership Card.

Rent Fees

Video rent fees is PHP16.00 and they have some other promos, too. Price will then change every now and then but are still affordable.

I was not really planning to come yesterday. But, friends of mine insistently invited me to be there. I had not been coming to several meet-ups we had. This maybe because I've been feeling awkward joining the group since I am not really a part of the company where they are still right now.

I never regret coming! I had fun with friends at Reb Box of Ayala Center Cebu. This is the newest Karaoke Entertainment Place in Cebu which recently opened this third quarter of year 2010. The rooms where very cool and the food served were sumptuous!

Thanks Ava (primary sponsor), Julia(secondary sponsor), Daryl and Madel, Warren and Leera, and Mader Jeza! Yesterday was so fun at Red Box Karaoke.

These days had been boring to me. From the said work at the office at Mandaue, I often drop by SM City Cebu. Nothing important though to be there, just roaming around.

One thing I like going to SM City Cebu than going to Ayala Center Cebu is that I am not intimidated by how I should look with what I wear on that day. The place is simply for everyone in all walks of life. Unlike when going to Ayala Center Cebu, I often make sure to myself that I am wearing appropriately desired for everyone to look at.

Not so much of comparing, what I always look forward to in the place is that I get several choices of stores and the likes. Secondly, I am fan of The Art Center, where there are often exhibitions of what they so called 'art'.

The recent exhibition is called "TAGBO: The National Exhibition" which will be and is still held as of  to date, November 17-30, 2010.

Making sure that I do not violate rules with the arts and crafts that were displayed, I got permission from the person on duty to take pictures.


Aren't those look wonderful and nice?

Credits and praises to the artists of these!
