I always see this mural painting everytime I pass by this area in Banilad, near Metrobank. It’s time to take a photo of it.

I have no idea who painted this, probably made by a female artist.

Female artist named Mau?

With an alias of Karingkay Hardchick?

Beside the mural of Hardchick is this another beautifully done wall painting.

I had to try out Apurado. I don’t usually eat at malls because of the prices. I had to do it, so I can have something to write about in this blog. Haha.

Apurado is located at Robinson’s, in the Jones Avenue side.

Apurado is just beside the Midtown / Robinson’s parking entrance.

This is their menu.

Barbecue pork and chicken.

I ate paliya and fried bangus. This is just below P50, cheaper than the combo meal which is P59.

My first experience with Bread and Butter was in the 1990s in Banilad when they used to have a branch just outside Sto. Niño Village.

Then it got renewed when they have a branch in Mandaue City. Every time I go to work in Lapu-Lapu in the morning, I drop by to buy my favorite hotdog bread.

This branch is located in corner Gorordo Avenue and Escario Street.

This branch is located in corner Gorordo Avenue and Escario.

Their other breads are also equally tasty. Be sure to try it out if you have not eaten there yet.

I went to a friend’s house located in Capitol Site to borrow a camera lens.

Going to Capitol Site, one has to take OPRRA bound jeepney, or simply when you see a number 15 , that’s going to OPRRA.

The crossing, the Villalon street sign. The steel fence is part of Cebu Provincial Capitol premises.

OPRRA bound jeepney. For easy spotting just remember the number 15 painted on all sides of the vehicles.

Environmental inspired mural on the perimeter walls of Cebu Provincial Capitol.

The curve part going to OPRRA.

This is the area where my lives. This was taken in the morning. The photos below was taken in the afternoon after spending hours at my friend’s house.

This is Our Lady of Fatima chapel.

Further into the inner parts of Capitol Site.

This jeepney is going to the Jones Avenue or Carbon market.

These kids asked me to take photos of them.

Arbee’s bakeshop. They have good tasting breads.

The Capitol Site barangay (village) hall.

I ate past lunch, probably around 1:30pm. I decided to try this carenderia or could be categorized as low end restaurant.

Lola Eats Food House is located in M. Velez St. in Guadalupe. Getting here is easy, just ride a Banawa or Guadalupe bound jeepney.

Telephone number: (032) 254-8431, (032) 344 0387.

The dining area. I like it, not too cramp, not too spacious either. The chairs are of good quality.

Grilled chicken wings.

Lots of food to choose from.

This is just below 60 pesos. Two barbecues, one banana, one bottled water and one cup rice. The soup is free.

What’s my  verdict? I only ate barbecue, but the taste was just okay.

This Thirsty? cart is located inside Ayala Center Cebu, in the second level, me thinks.

Me and my friends used to plan of getting a Thirsty? franchise more than 10 years ago. The last time we heard, the franchise fee was about 150,000. The original owner of the business also was the Osmeñas, forgot which clan.

I’m a fan of Thirsty. Whenever I’m in Manila or go back home to my hometown in Iligan, I make sure to sip a Thirsty shake.

I always get the regular size (45) cup.

Shot from the bench I was sitting on.

Here is my Thirsty? shake!

Apples and oranges.

They also have shakes for the health freak.

The prices of the shakes are too steep for me, that’s why I seldom get one, I think I only tried it once. Maybe I’ll get one once in a while, because of its health benefits.

Caesar’s Foodland used to be the most popular grocery store in this side of Cebu City during the 1990s. But after Gaisano Country Mall was built, and a few other malls like Banilad Town Center and even Ayala Center Cebu, it forced to close shop.

But there are rumors circulating that Foodland would reopen. Let’s wait and see.

Burlogi and Wealthbank.

This is a two year old video of Rizal Street, in Ibabao, Mandaue City. It takes forever uploading videos in Youtube that’s I seldom post videos. There are still a lot of videos in my drive. I need more patience hehe.

This video was shot early in the morning.

Rizal street is near Jollibee, Mandaue City Hall and the church.

Lami ang tapsilog sa Silogan ni Gian.

Silogan ni Gian is close to where I live and to University of San Carlos in Talamban.

The place is also shared with other stalls offering similar food, and drink, some sell burgers.

This was about 7:30 in the morning.

The silog meal price starts at P25.00. The most expensive is calderitasilog which costs P43.00.

I ordered chicksilog which costs P32.00, I also added Payless hot pancit canton. Yummy!

Shot from the table where I ate my breakfast. That is the gate of USC-TC.

So the street B. Rodriguez was named after Buenaventura Rodriguez?

According to Cebuano Studies Center:

Buenaventura Rodriguez, a native of Cebu, was a renowned playwright, journalist, stage actor and a distinguished politician.

He was one of the more recognized dramatists in the Sugbuhanon dialect. He wrote the play, El Muñeco Roto which was performed by the Compañia de Zarzuela Española in 1915. A noted writer and politician from Cebu, Manuel Briones, believed that another play by Rodriguez entitled El Mal se Aprende was a spiritual event.

In 1937, Buenaventura Rodriguez was elected as governer of Cebu.

In 1940, his play La Adjusta Leja de la Vaguada was made into movie.

He was also recipient of the Premio Zobel in 1924 for his novel La Pugna.
