Crimson Resort Mactan: Mastering Dolce Far Niente
Important note: My Crimson Resort Mactan experience took place before Odette ravaged Cebu. After weeks of renovation and restoration, Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan reopened its doors to serve guests seeking a slice of paradise and a ray of light in our gloomy world. So, the current version of Crimson Resort Mactan may look different from the one I saw earlier in 2021. We live in a busy society full of go-getters, planners, and achievers.

You can be a cut-throat villain in someone’s world, a harmless sheep in the eyes of your parents, or a symbol of hope to the friends who adore you.

The Secret Life of A Social Misfit
Every new acquaintance starts with the question “what do you do for a living”. And, in an era with a high regard for successful and extraordinary lives, we always try to give a spectacular answer to impress the person asking that question. Let’s face it, we all want to be adored and become a subject of someone’s interest. Of course, nobody wants to be tagged as a social misfit. Although the question seems like a harmless ice breaker, it’s actually one of the reasons why depression is through the roof these days. The truth is, we’re living in a society where the level of respect you get from people depends…
