When you want to go from Bacolod to Iloilo on a budget, it is a no-brainer. You take, what we call, the “roro” (a big boat which carries vehicles, passengers, and cargo) because it’s cheap. You have to wait a little longer compared to when you are traveling to the City of Love on a […]
Basketball – it’s one sport that Filipinos cannot get enough of. It’s common for you to see daily basketball games taking place within neighborhoods during late afternoons. On a personal note, my husband plays basketball with his friends maybe twice or three times a week. It’s like the sport is ingrained within every Filipino’s DNA makeup. Filipinos […]
Vietnamese coffee on ice is one of my favorite coffee drinks. Here in Bacolod City, we have about three places that serve this coffee drink.

Let’s talk money. I’d like to think that I’m good at handling money. It’s all thanks to my parents, in my opinion. When I was younger, my dad gave me and my sister our weekly allowance every Monday. He would give it to us whole so we know how to budget our money for the […]
I think I already said this in one of my social media posts, but I’m gonna repeat it here again: I’m thankful to be living in Negros Occidental/Bacolod because aside from the slew of wonderful places to eat, there’s also a number of wonderful places to eat healthy. One of the places that serve organic deliciousness […]

Is everyone ready for summer? I think everyone’s getting ready for it. I, for […]
As I saw the news snippet going around social media about Filipinos who make money online through freelance work, I couldn’t help but think about the very first project I completed. I earned $2, and this, back then, was already significant because I was only starting out – a neophyte. This was six years ago. […]
Palawud Resto Grill & Bar, probably, has the most entertaining show in all of the restaurants in Bacolod city. As entertainment, they don’t have live music nor do they have comedians on a stage – very common ways of providing entertainment to diners.

When we went to Cagayan last year (2016), the white water rafting tour we went on was one of the most memorable activities I and my family did. It was my second time going on the same tour with the same company, and I have to say that the experience was as amazing as the […]

It’s the freakin’ weekend! Those who are in their 20s are getting ready to paint the town red tonight, but to those who have reached the 30 mark, like I just did, are getting ready to wind down. Gotta recuperate from all the hustle during the weekdays. But, the question is, how? If nothing comes to […]
What’s inside the Yuan Thong Temple in Bacolod? I didn’t really know until a few years ago. I was also one of you who would pass by the temple while riding a jeep or while driving. I was curious, but since I am not Chinese nor am I a Buddhist, I held off knocking at […]

Now that the Izumi ramen restaurant is open, Bacolodnons can enjoy ramen Monday to […]
Do you know what I found out about cooking? It’s not as complicated as I thought. I’ve always thought that cooking involved about 15 ingredients, an oven, a stove, at least 5 pots or pans, and a drawer of kitchen tools. But, I was dead wrong because I found out, around late last year, that cooking […]
