Picasso Coffee Cebu

Belated Happy Mother's Day to all super moms out there! My post today is not about the occasion, but had happened the last Mother's day with my Integ brod and sissies. I had a reunion with my college brod and sis' (MSU Integrals International). We need some catch up to do, so we were in discussion what place in Cebu can accommodate us that can perhaps consider our boisterousness. We are known for being too loud when we are together, you know. We met at Ayala and decided to hangout in Picasso Coffee located in Gorordo just right across Golden Peak hotel.

Above is the complete address and the cafe hours.

According to the staff it was inspired by the famous artist Picasso. So, the place has Picasso inspired paintings (abstract paintings).

 The cafe's counter.

The Menu... 

My favorite, famous '90s' board games.

There are tables outside too.

Photo taken outside the cafe.

Just want to share; we were supposed to buy a pregnancy test kit for Aimee our sis who had a feeling she is pregnant,but the pharmacies around were already close by the time we went out from Ayala. We just determined the result by playing Snake 'n Ladders. If she wins, she's pregnant and she won the game. Upon writing this blog we already got a confirmation from her that she really is pregnant. Wooohhhh... So pregnancy can be determined by winning a game now. LOL! Pardon me, just sharing that funny experience. It was our Mother's day story...

We also played Scrabble or Link a Word...

Just like the other cafes' it has socket under the table, perfect for customers bringing along their laptop with them to study or just linger. We're borrowed cellphone charger from the staff :)

Buko Pandan Smoothie

 Ice Cappuccino

 Of course Sam and I tried their best seller, Picasso Frappe.

  

Our groufie with the preggy...

Hmmm...As a blogger, I need to be honest to my readers. The place was quiet when we visited it, because it was around 10pm Sunday evening. The drinks' price did not give justice to its taste. The staffs are friendly and accommodating though. Anyway, we were there to bond and relax :) Miss Blue, the Thrifty Wanderer just gives an honest review. Picasso Coffee...half check!

MV LOGOS HOPE in Cebu

Good news to all Cebuanos and to all bookworms, after 3 years MV Logos Hope is back in Cebu. For those who are not familiar with it, MV Logos Hope is the largest floating library operated by German non-profit charitable Christian Organization and was launched since 1970. The crews and staffs are around 400 volunteers from over 45 countries in the world. They'll be here until May 28,2015 and just arrived last May 6, 2015. 

Entrance fee is only 20 pesos but free for kids below 13 years old and senior citizens.

We chose to visit on a weekday because we are foreseeing huge volume of visitors will be coming in during the weekend.

Staff from different races will warmly welcome you.

Let the scanning begin!!!

Tags are in units, 25 units= 25php, 50 units= 50php, 100 units =100php,etc.

Staffs from different countries repeatedly announcing the prices, welcoming the visitors, reminding the guests in English and even in Bisaya. 

Presentation of the Prodigal Son...

 A local volunteer we met. He was in-charge in explaining the "Prodigal Son" mural. According to him, after 7 days a new set of local volunteers will replace them. I just did not get the details of how they became volunteers though, my bad.

 There's a small play area for the kids in the cafe.

 The international cafe where they are serving cakes, ice coffee, lemonade, ice cream, popcorn, etc (those are the only food I can remember).

 This is once in a lifetime experience so we should try it out too. I tried their ice coffee (70php) and Sheena went for the mix ice cream (50php).

There's a Captain's logbook (netbook) in one corner next to the cafe, where you can leave your message to the captain, you just need to provide an email address to get a free souvenir (hmmm..looking forward to receiving mine).

Don't miss to roll coins to keep the ship sailing, few meters away from the captain's logbook.

 These are my purchases plus a keychain and a ballpen with the MV Logos Hope photo and name printed on it.

When I arrived home from that overwhelming experienced I checked my stuff and found this inserted.

To those who wanted to donate, please check the photo for information.

Another item checked on my bucket list. It was a memorable and great experience for me. I invited some friends, I might return before they leave, I can't get enough of the books and the unique concept. MV Logos Hope, thank you for re-visiting us and continue spreading knowledge and hope to the world. You rock!!!
