Traynta Ekwatro

A few days ago, I celebrated my 34th birthday, which means I have now officially walked Earth longer than Jesus.

And it has been quite a hike.

I have walked through sceneries of joy and pleasure, and wandered through dreadful valleys of doubts, heartbreaks, and despair.

And now, I have finally arrived and settled into my own little corner of this world.

With nothing but gratitude for everything, and I mean everything, that have happened to me in this journey.

CEBU CITY – I have always loved looking at paintings maybe because I have always wanted to be a good painter myself. It still confuses me how all of my siblings can paint really well, but whenever I try to draw something on paper, absolutely nothing happens. No masterpiece. No hidden talent waiting to be discovered. Not even a decent-looking flower. Sometimes I think God may have been a little sleepy when He was making me and simply forgot to include “painting” in my skillset.

Anyway, because of my love for paintings, I decided to take some time to visit the Tubo Cebu Art Fair 2026 at Ayala Center Cebu.

CEBU CITY – Ever since my college days, I have always dreamed of operating my own liquor bar where my fellow enjoyer of the spirit can peacefully coalesce to ponder and talk about life’s musings. This year, an opportunity finally came along to turn this dream into reality. However, as I looked into the accounting projections, it seems more than likely that this dream business of mine will be in the red which meant that I would have to subsidize its operations for at least the first year.
