One of the many things I love to do before heading to work is to go on brunch by myself - a me time, some silence and peace by myself. One of the best places to go on brunch is at the Ayala Mall Central Bloc - Cebu IT Park, Cebu City, Philippines. I love to walk around the mall and find some great finds and food picks because not only does the mall has a lot to offer, but also because it is just a walking distance from my workplace. Approximately a four to five minute walk.
The Ayala Mall - Central Bloc
The best thing about Ayala Central Bloc is it feels so much like a park. There are chairs for customers to relax on and it is the perfect spot after a long day of work or a break after a long day of shopping.
Padayon - words to live by
Padayon is a Cebuano word which basically means to keep moving or to move forward. This one word means so much to all of us Cebuanos. Everytime we encounter challenges in life, we tap our back and say "Padayon!". Thank you Ayala Mall Central Bloc for this friendly reminder.
Starbucks Reserve - Ayala Mall Central Bloc Cebu IT Park, Philippines
After walking around, I felt the need to beat the scorching heat of the sun. I dropped by one of my favorite Starbucks branches and had my favorite pink drink and a croissant to pair. I love this branch so much, it is spacious and the staff here are very friendly. I am really fond of going out by myself and doing errands alone.
Where Wonders Are Made
I then headed to the Wonders Photo Shop because I had to print a two by two photo I needed for work. I went to this studio and had myself photographed here.
While waiting for the photographer, I saw a lot of good finds in this photo studio.
Instax Overload
The shop sold Instax cameras which I envy so much. I love to have this camera ever since it was released. Maybe soon, I will buy myself one.There are a lot of options to choose from. Different models, colors, and different prices. There are also a lot of Instax accessories here from the bag, to films and many more.
Essentials
I then went to Watsons to buy some supplies I needed for myself - shampoo, perfume, alcohol , wipes , liptint and of course, a menthol roll.
What's adulting without the mentol rolls and mentol rubs?
Time for Brunch!
I then stopped by at My Joy to have my brunch. I had sizzling bangus. It was so-so. But I loved the place because there were not a lot of customers therefore it was not crowded. Finally, some peace.
After my errands at Ayala Mall Central Bloc, I went to the Human Nature Capitol Branch. I am a reseller of there products and I just had to pick-up some stuffs.
Human Nature - Capitol, Cebu City
One thing I love so much about their products is that it is all natural, and paraben free. I am not only a reseller of their products but I religiously use them as well.
My Top 3 Favorite Human Nature Products
Their Sunflower oil, Foot spray and deodorant is the best! It is safe, paraben-free and very affordable. I got one of each then headed to work.
As soon as I entered the office I saw my workmate relaxing at the massage chair our company just bought. Wow! How thoughtful of them!
My workmate was giggling and she was happy she got a free massage before heading to work.
My Turn
Of course I had to try. I can only experience massage chairs at malls where we pay per thirty minutes, and here at work, it's free! Thankful for our company for being so thoughtful towards their employees. Enough of the relaxation, time to work. Ciao!
