Do know what's my biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to travel around the world and to experience everyone's culture. I'd like to learn how they live their life to the fullest. I don't care how much money should I spend. As long as I have a lot of stories to share with my grandchildren when I'm old. Otherwise, I will have a lot of happy memories to remember.
I believe money will be gone easily but the memories can't be. If I am given a chance to spend my money, I will use it to travel with my family and create unforgettable memories.
That would be the things must I do before I grow old. When we grow old, it's not easy for us to travel because we might know what will happen to our health. Mostly when people get old, they can easily get diseases. Therefore, it is difficult for them to travel especially when they are unable to walk or see.
Everyone can sit down in this circle and can take pictures.
This time allows me to share my experience in 10,000 Roses, Cordova, Cebu. The artificial roses are LED-powered ones. The total number of roses is 10,000 pieces. All of them are white. It is wonderful when it comes to nighttime because of the lights.
10,000 Roses View
A lot of people visited there because of the scenery view of this place. They can enjoy the sunset view while drinking coffee at their cafe'.
In this picture, the lights are on already but it is better when seeing at night.
This is annetimistic taking a picture of herself because she was just alone at that time.
Upstairs View of 10,000 Roses
I took this picture on the rooftop of the cafe'. It is best to drink or eat there while enjoying the dramatic view of the place, especially during sunset and night.
The Sunset View
I was amazed when I got there because of the glorious sunset.
My Experience:
It was my 2nd time visiting at 10, 000 roses. I went there with the friends of my sister and her husband who is Norwegian. Her husband was amazed at the panoramic view even though the roses were not real. He said that the place was famous just because of the thousands of white roses and the sunset view. He added that the visitors can relax because there are many chairs at the cafe facing the sea and mountain view. Additionally, he said that everyone would go back because of the beautiful place.
Then, the pictures that I have shared here were my second time. I went there alone because I had an appointment in the City. So, my family was left in the province. Some changes happened before and now. I can compare that at present time there are differences than before. What I like at present is their outdoor dining area. They have colourful pillow chairs facing the sea with a dining table and artificial grasses on the floor. They also have a dining area outside of the cafe but no artificial grasses. The artificial one is just beside the cafe'. They have pink roses around the circle with the name of the place and visitors can take pictures while sitting on the circle shape.
Features:
There's a cafe and restaurant inside and a floating restaurant beside the place.
There's a rooftop in the cafe'. You can go up and take pictures even though you don't have orders anything from the cafe'. Just take pictures but don't stay there long time because there are customers who would like to dine in on the rooftop. We can disturb them if we stay long.
There's a floating restaurant beside the 10, 000 roses which is "Lantaw". A famous restaurant in Cebu.

How to get there?
Modes of Transportation
V-hire- From SM Cebu City in the van station, there is a route before to Cordova, Lapu-Lapu. The driver passes to CCLEX which is the new bridge of Lapu-Lapu and Cebu City. The end route will be at Gaisano Cordova. When you arrive there, find a tricicad bound to 10,000 roses.
Jeepney - From airport, just ride a yellow taxi and stop at Pusok, Lapu-Lapu. Then, go to the highway and look for a jeepney going to Cordova. Just take a look at the signage in front of the driver's seat. Then, ride a trycicad when you arrive in Cordova.
From SM Cebu City, you can ride going to Parkmall. Then from Parkmall, find a jeepney going to Lapu-Lapu Public Market and ride a jeepney there going to Cordova. Then, find a trycicad going to 10,000 Roses.
Trycicad - You can ride it from Cordova to 10,000 Roses and it takes 5-10 minutes to ride by Trycicad.
Taxi - Just find a vacant taxi and ask the driver to send you to the place.
Private Vehicles - This is better to ride going there. No hassle than to commute any public transportation.
Location: Day-as, Cordova, Cebu beside Lantaw Restaurant.
Let me end this with a piece of advice from mine.
