I have never been felt so excited in a heavy traffic before. Imagine, getting stuck here for long hours? But I don't mind at all because my family's destination will be in one of the largest mall in the world!

While I'm stucked in a heavy traffic going to SM Seaside, I took photo of this one and only huge cube which is the mall's landmark that measures 21x21 meters steel sculpture. This mall is located in Cebu, Philippines and it is the third (3rd) largest mall in the Philippines and eleventh (11th) in the world. The exterior design of the mall shows a wave-like structure as the island of Cebu City is sorrounded by huge mass of body of the water. And when the sun sets, the water will reflect to the mall's glass windows and creates an ocean-like attraction.

Here's a wide shot view of the SM Seaside

SM Seaside is in circular shape with multiple anchors and a two-storey building with huge-spaced market, department store, centerstage theater with a large screen format cinema, two (2) Director's Club cinemas, four (4) regular cinemas, 18-lane Bowling and Amusement center, and an Olympic size ice skating rink just right across the food court and these great amenities will totally worth your time and money.

One of the attraction that brought the netizens in star struck is these spiral staircase that will surely capture your attention by its structure and neon colors.

During these days of pandemic, they redesigned their regular staircases with these safety reminders to help the people remember the health protocols and avoid contacts. As for Cebu's tag line, "Be a RESPONSIBLE LAAGAN!"

And if you are tired from strolling or you don't want to take the stairs, don't worry because this translucent/transparent elevator got you.

Mom's (in orange) third visit in SM Seaside.

The mall can also offer you a ride for mall tour or just drop you by if where or what shop you want to go. But they usually prioritize the senior citizens and disabled person.

As their mall is sorrounded with gigantic glass windows and doors, you can easily see the busy road outside and the wide ocean view.

Every December, they have these huge christmas balls and other christmas decorations inside the mall which can give you the feeling of Nutcracker scene.

One of my favorite thing to do everytime I get back here is to make my own Magnum ice cream! This is so fun to do, I swear! A belgian chocolate that gives you an experience of making your own Magnum by letting you to choose what flavor, coatings, toppings and sprinkles you want and need for your naked Magnum bar (Vanilla or rich chocolate bar).

You can choose your own flavor of ice cream up to their different kind of toppings. And if you have a sweet tooth like me, you must try when you get a chance to visit Cebu City, Phillipines.

After the bar is coated, it's time for it to get those sprinkles on it. They really have many types of toppings where you have 3 toppings to choose above all. Afterwards, the creation of drizzled with a choice of white milk or dark chocolate.

Making your own Magnum will really satisfy your taste as you have rights to choose your own favorite toppings from different kinds of nuts, candy sprinkles and imported syrups.

And ever if you feel famished after the whole day of strolling, dine-in restaurants got you! We chose this restaurant because of their fresh chicken meat and very attractive wall designs. But not only that! The scent of their meals is calling your nostrils when you pass by their restaurant so you can't really resist but to sit, order and eat in gusto.

The SM Seaside alo has massage chairs in every corner where the elders can enjoy the therapy during our third visit. With your small amount of penny, you can easily feel relax.

This is my Dad. Feeling good while sitting in the massage chair.

Here's an another peek inside of the mall. Every corner around this mall is great for selfies and occasion photo shoots as its roof is a whole park where your kids can run freely and they could even have an experience of summer because they also have bathe/summer pool.

While watching the kids enjoying the the summer vibes, you can spend your time in this transparent cubes and have a sip of your favorite smoothies or coffee. These glass cubes behind my sister are snack bars and cafe. The mall's layout is really ergonomically designed as you don't have to re-enter the mall if you are here at the rooftop just to buy snacks because these cubes are just few steps away from the kid's area.

You can also have great photos in this spot as you can see the wide ocean view and I recommend you to go here around 5PM for the golden hour.

But if you love being kissed by the sun, afternoon time is great! You can sit under this gigantic weave shade and have picnic with your friends, family, or alone.

When the sun sets, you will get to see this dramatic view.

And it's great to spend until night here to see the cube on lit. It is changing its color every minute so it is great for phoos as well.

Spending time with my family is the most important matter in my life and being with them helps me to collect happy memories together. And this eleventh (11th) largest mall in the world, it makes me feel like I'm in another country. How I wish I can bring my family in other country but for now I will continue to explore my own country becaue here in Philippines, IT'S MORE FUN! 🎉
