No Place Like Balay

Planning your trip entails some form of dedication -- from hustling-through-the-midnight budget plane fare bookings, deciding where to go, researching what to do and, most especially, where to stay. Not to mention the challenge of organizing 15 people for the trip (I promise to dedicate a different blog entry for this and will discuss on "how to keep your big group organized in times of big out-of-town vacations by not implementing Martial Law"). This time, we decided to visit the Queen City of the South and experience the much-talked-about Sinulog Festival. Much to our excitement, we already planned our activities and started daydreaming of things to do. Since we wanted to maximize the whole festival, logistics is very crucial. We were advised that most of the roads are closed and finding a public transport that can bring us to different places might be close to impossible (take note, we are 15). I started searching for a place with the following factors to consider: (1) budget, (2) accessible to places around the heart of Cebu, (3) can house 15 pax, (4) good basic amenities.

Luckily, I landed on Balay Bakasyunan's page.

Art Fest: Top 5 Best Covers of Sam Smith's Stay With Me

I cannot find any excuse for not appreciating this song a few months back. When I heard it again last week, I fell so in love that I had to check all the versions and covers. Nothing beats the original version though. Sam Smith or Samuel Frederick Smith, the other guy featured behind Disclosure's breakthrough single "Latch", has released his debut studio album, "In the Lonely Hour" in May of this year. The album's third single "Stay With Me" was an international success, peaking above the UK Singles Chart and reaching number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its music video has 54 million hits on youtube. Need I say more?
