The world's favorite flip-flop brand, Havaianas, is once again coming to Cebu for the much anticipated Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH). Now on it's Ninth year, Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 is highlighting it's origin, Brazil with it's festive street party - The Carnavale, the spirited samba dance, Martial Arts - Capoeira and of course, everybody's fave, with the recently much celebrated World Cup 2014 - Football.

Inspired by a 200-year old tradition from Brazil, this year’s commemorative pair features colorful Bonfim wish ribbons that are worn for good luck. The print wishes every wearer Alegria (Joy), Diversao (Amusement), Empolgacao (Excitement), Euforia (Euphoria ), and Felicidade (Bliss )– true to the Havaianas “always summer” spirit.



WHAT:      Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 ( #MYOHCebu2014 )
WHERE:  Ayala Center Cebu, Activity Center
WHEN:    August 1-3 (Friday to Sunday)
TIME:      10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Flip-flops were made to perfectly complement the Brazilian vibrant lifestyle: vivacious, expressive, adventurous, and always the life of the party. The thrill in this full-customization event comes in the ability to mix and match everything: from the soles and the straps, to color combinations inspired by street art, and to the fun limited edition pins – this year all exhibiting everything Brazil from the beats to the wildlife, flavors and beaches, to symbols representing summer fun. Classic staples include geometric and crystal pins plus to give some local flavor, a special Cebu pin designed by renowned Cebuano furniture designer Vito Selma will be available.

Havaianas encourages everyone to be as daring as the Brazilians when customizing their flip-flops.  “Brazilian culture is all about self expression, and not being ashamed of how vividly you express it.” Anne Gonzalez, Terry SA Managing Director shares with Brand Development Group Director Ammiel De Leon adding, “Think of how the Brazilians would do it—always bold and fun in style and a natural stand out.”

In Cebu, Carinderia has been the best choice of workers most especially during peak hours. Everybody is in a hurry to finish their break during Lunch and Dinner and go back to work. And one thing everybody considers is not to eat in fast food chains - we should eat healthy foods, agree? Yesh!! Now, people around Lahug and IT Park area should try this newly opened Carinderia called Orange Karenderia. It's not your ordinary Carinderia since it offers more than local foods. Aside from their banner dishes like Linarang na Bakasi/Endong/Barracuda and Tinolang Dugso/Mamsa , they also offers their top seller Atlantic Yellow Fin Tuna Caviar or best known as Crispy Tuna Bihod and some Grilled Dishes.

Just for a view, here's the interior of the resto.

Industrial-Like interior gives a comfortable aura to customers

Now, here's our favorites from BEST to GOOD. As a first timer in this Carinderia, you should try their Grilled Pork Barbecue. It's juicy and the meat is well cooked, not to mention that we didn't dip it in a typical sauce which means, it is really worth the bite!



Next is our personal choice, the Larang Tasik - a soup dish prepared by stewing fish with vegetables, milk and spices. And it's definitely a must try like really!!! We cannot taste the fishy stuff but the the soup cooked/mixed in a coconut milk.


Then there goes the Pancit Canton, superb!


And the rest, they are good, check them after jump.

Fried Chicken with Sesame Seeds

Tinolang Mamsa
