A Refreshing Afternoon at Marina Seaview Restaurant with Cebu Creators Circle
Wednesday, June 11, 2025
Hi Fam!
Last May 24,2025 , I had the pleasure of attending an inspiring event called What Brands Want hosted by Cebu Creators Circle at the stunning Marina Seaview Restaurant. Nestled along the Mactan Channel, Marina Seaview was the perfect backdrop for an evening of creativity, connection, and community.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the refreshing coastal breeze, the golden hues of sunset reflecting off the water, and the warm smiles of fellow creators. The venue's relaxed, resort-like atmosphere made it easy to unwind, while still buzzing with excitement for what the afternoon had in store.
Creative Energy and Inspiring Conversations
The event brought together a diverse crowd of content creators, digital entrepreneurs, bloggers, photographers, and creatives from all over Cebu. Whether you're into fashion, food, tech, or travel, there was someone there who shared your passion—and probably followed you on Instagram, too!
One of the highlights was getting to meet some of my fellow content creators and also get an insight as to what brands really want as we continue to build and collaborate with them. There’s something so refreshing about talking with people who get it.
Seaside Bites & Aesthetic Vibes
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Cebu Creators Circle event without gorgeous visuals—and Marina Seaview did not disappoint. The food was not only delicious but beautifully plated. From fresh seafood platters to cool mocktails, everything was Instagram-worthy and absolutely satisfying.
The ambiance? Coastal chic with just the right amount of glam. Think: string lights, soft jazz, and ocean views. Whether you were snapping content or simply soaking it all in, the vibe was great especially on the afternoon till evening.
An Afternoon to Remember
This event was more than just networking—it felt like a celebration of Cebu’s creative spirit. In a world that’s constantly online, it was such a gift to connect offline and be reminded of the people and faces behind the feeds that I see online.
To Cebu Creators Circle organizing team and founders, thank you for curating such an intentional space for creatives to grow together. And to Marina Seaview, thank you for hosting us in style—we’ll definitely be back for a sunset dinner soon!
If you ever get the chance to attend a Cebu Creators Circle event, do it. Whether you’re an aspiring influencer, a digital entrepreneur, or someone just dipping their toes into the content world, you’ll find inspiration, support, and new friends who cheer you on.

Tops Cebu + Top of Cebu Restaurant Food Trip with a View
Thursday, April 24, 2025
@nanaykikay Exploring @topscebu.ph this Holy Week Weekend and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back here 😀 #topscebu #topscebucitylights #topscebucity ♬ Let's Go Explore - stay tune
Last weekend, we decided to escape the city hustle and head somewhere cooler, higher, and definitely more scenic—Top of Cebu!
Nestled on the mountainside of Busay, this spot offers a sweeping view of Cebu City from above, and honestly, it felt like we were on top of the world. The fresh mountain breeze, the lush greenery, and the perfect golden hour made our little getaway feel magical.
Getting There
The drive up was smooth, and the kids loved watching the view change as we ascended. Pro tip: make sure your camera (or phone!) is charged because the scenery on the way is already picture-perfect. Parking was available and secure, and we appreciated how everything felt clean and well-maintained.
Cebu from a New Perspective
When we reached the viewpoint, it was like time slowed down. You could see the entire city skyline, Mactan Island, and even as far as Bohol on a clear day. We took tons of photos—definitely Instagram-worthy! The air was cooler up there, so it was refreshing especially for the little ones who’ve had enough of the city heat lately.
Dining at Top of Cebu Restaurant
Of course, our trip wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the local favorite, Top of Cebu Restaurant. Known for their Filipino-fusion menu and spectacular sunset dining, this place lived up to the hype.
What We Ate – A Feast to Remember
We wanted to try something flavorful and festive—and Top of Cebu didn’t disappoint!
Fiesta Fried Rice
True to its name, this rice dish was a party on a plate! Colorful, savory, and packed with bits of vegetables, egg, and meat—perfectly seasoned to complement any main dish. It was hearty, satisfying, and one order is enough for two already. This costs around Php130.00
Sisig Gambas
This dish was the surprise star of our meal! Imagine the bold, crispy flavors of classic meaty sisig combined with juicy, garlicky shrimp—served sizzling hot. The mix of textures and that slight spicy kick made it super addicting. A must-try for seafood lovers looking for something with a twist! This one is my fave there. Its priced at Php230.00
Chicken Gata
Comfort food, elevated. This creamy chicken stew simmered in coconut milk had that rich, homecooked taste with a restaurant-quality touch. Tender chicken, perfectly cooked, with just the right hint of spice and sweetness from the gata. It paired so well with the Fiesta Fried Rice that we were all scraping the bowl! I loved this one two, its priced at around 300 plus pesos.
We had watermelon shake and mango shake for our drinks.
We dined al fresco, with the city lights sparkling below us. The ambiance was dreamy, and the service was warm and attentive. Bonus: We enjoyed open space and the cool air kept everyone comfy.
If you're looking for a romantic date night, a family escape, or even a spot to take your guests from out of town—Top of Cebu ticks all the boxes. Scenic, serene, and satisfying in every way.
Whether you’re from Cebu or just visiting, this is a must-experience destination. Just bring a light jacket, an empty stomach, and your favorite people.
