Shameless Plug selfie #3:  Wooden Lechón

Presenting to you my bamboo Visayan warty pig (Sus cebifrons) created by craftsmen from Bayawan of Negros Oriental, at the Holicow store in the ATÚA Midtown, Barangay Caputhaw, Cebú City.

Shameless Plug Selfie #2: Patron Saint

Celebrating my official Santo Niño, which is a chibi (ちび) version that I had purchased from the OoMA Archive in the ATÚA Midtown in Barangay Caputhaw, Cebú City.

As an official card carrying Cebúano (yes I am a register voter here), I knew that I had to get my own idol of the patron of the island and city, the Santo Niño (Christ Child), however I wanted a pocket-sized version. So lo and behold! . . . .

Shameless Plug Selfie #1: Lakas Tama

Taking a shot of the cocktail “Malibu Libre” at the Owl Stories café in the ATÚA Midtown, Barangay Camputhaw, Cebú City.

I have always enjoyed Malibu coconut flavored rum, which was developed in 1978 by Thomas Edwin Jago (1925-2018), creator of the Baileys Irish Cream. However Malibu is not so popular here in Cebú, so it is not as readily available in the liquor stores. But then again, I hardly drink, so to find a café that serves my favorite liquor is a great place to hang out.
