Mea in Bacolod

There are a lot of places to eat at in Bacolod City. Ginger Lime Diner, located along Lopez Jaena Street, was recently added to this list. I personally added it on my list of places to eat at again. This place is a small diner owned and managed by Johanna and Citoy Taño. I, along with […]

Mea in Bacolod is a lifestyle Bacolod blog dedicated to anything and everything in and out of the City of Smiles. Expect to read about what’s happening (events) in Bacolod, where to go (places), what to do (activities), and, most importantly, what to eat (food). Why Visit Bacolod? If there’s anything you need to know […]

When you live in Negros Occidental, all you have to do is go on a road trip to somewhere fairly far to see its beauty. Personally, I wouldn’t dare to go on a road trip by myself because I’m very bad with directions and I’m not too confident with my car fixing skills when an emergency happens. Luckily, […]

I always look forward to Saturdays and Sundays because, apart from the usual family activities we have, I get to visit RIBS and MORE at the Negros Farmer’s Weekend Market. The stand is owned by the Aves family. They’re right next to our juice stand which makes their delicious menus easily accessible. Tulok pa lang sa […]

In case you haven’t heard, a group of individuals from the city started an event called ReKindle which aims to bring old and new artists together. It’s also an event that allows sleeping artists (this may be you) to showcase their work and get appreciated. I attended the second event which was named ReLight last December […]

I must admit that with my 28 years of living in Bacolod City, there’s still a lot of experiences I haven’t tried before. It was, however, during the last few months of 2015 that I crossed off one of the items on my “must visit” list. The Welcome Home Foundation Cafe invited me over for a healthful […]

On October 22, Samsung visited the City of Smiles with their Samsung Happy Home Roadshow. I, along with team NBSI (Negros Bloggers), was invited to see their show that went down at the District North Point. My afternoon there was filled with “oohs” and “aahs” as I was listening and taking pictures of the various home […]

HAPI hosted the first ever ReKindle at Tazoon Cafe on Oct 31, 2015. One of the aims of the event was to increase peoples’ awareness of current issues that many individuals sweep under the rug – gender identity, HIV, environmental issues as well as body image. Artistically, it also aimed to bridge the gap between new local artists […]

Campuestohan Highland Resort is a destination that needs no introduction. Bacolod locals are either familiar with it or they’ve actually been there once or twice already. It’s so notable that locals recommend it to guests when guests ask which places to visit in Negros. It’s one of a kind  here in the island of Neg […]

I am not a fan of tea. Know this before you continue reading. I, generally, gag every time I take a whiff of newly brewed tea in a tea cup. It’s seriously that bad for me. However, an acceptable type of tea for me is Milk Tea. I love drinking it and all the more […]

Back then, when people yelled: “The Vikings are coming, the Vikings are coming!” everybody would get their weapons ready for battle, hide or just run away. These days, however, people act totally different when they hear “the Vikings are coming!” Instead of weapons for battle, spoons, forks and appetites are prepared for a battle of […]

There is no such thing as the fountain of youth but if you find one, please don’t forget to email me. – Mea 🙂 I’m 28 years old and I represent a generation of people who are entering the “Be more health conscious because you’re getting older” phase. Though we are in the early stages […]

One of the best things of living in a province is you get to be close to nature. If you were born or if you grew up in a big city in the Philippines (or outside of the Philippines) that may not be your thing because life is slow, mostly quiet and mostly peaceful. This kind […]
