Exploring West Visayas

3rd week of my nationwide trip.


Destination: Iloilo and Bacolod


All work and no play will make me a piece of shit.


I've been to Iloilo a couple of times but still I had very little time to explore the city. Last time I visited Iloilo, I went to Smallville and got drunk. (not so good haha) then aside from that, nothing follows. So this time, I made sure I will be able to experience something new. :) Jen, one of our trainers, and I went to Perri Todds where they serve enormous burger. Believe me, theirs is bigger than my face! And surprisingly, it really tastes good since I am expecting a little bit less for the burger. I thought because of it's size, the taste will be sacrificed but then again I was wrong. I really enjoyed our burger which can even qualify as a birthday cake! lol and on top of that, they also serve iced tea tower! The prices are quite reasonable (actually I think it's really affordable!) We ordered their special burger which costs Php270 and can be shared by 2-3 person then their iced tea tower (2L) costs php120. Not bad!
we can't finish the burger!

Then after a few days, I transferred to Bacolod via sea. It's my first time ride a ferry. My travel was approx 1hour. Since I get dizzy easily, I decided to sleep the entire trip. haha! Then voila! I say "Hello Bacolod!" When I got there, photos of cakes of Calea is already running in my mind but i still have to work. So after a few store checks we treat ourselves with a slice of heaven! We went to Calea and I ordered Choco Crumble Cake which really, never failed me. Twas ecstatic! Not too sweet, not too bitter! Not soggy, not dry. Just right! Then Melvin ordered Caramel Pecan Cheesecake which is really really rich and creamy in taste! It can really fill you up instantly! Then we had dinner at Chicken Deli to experience authentic Bacolod Inasal. I must admit I'm not really a big fan of inasal but I love chicken dishes. The verdict? twas good! I really liked the tenderness and subtle juicy-ness of the chicken.
Yum! I want to try 'em all!

Calea to go! Gift for the celebrant!
they serve one of the juiciest chicken!


Sadly I had very little time and I have to go home. I will surely visit Bacolod and Iloilo again!

May oras ka pa ba?

“Anong pinaka sweet na bagay na ginawa ng partner mo sayo?” tanong nya. “Ang hirap isipin. Pero siguro during the time that I was assign sa Cagayan De Oro for a month and sinundan nya ko para samahan for one month.” Ang sagot ko. Bigla akong napaisip. Ano nga ba makakapag pasaya sa isang tao? Paano mo mararamdaman na mahalaga ka? Time. Mahirap ibigay ang oras. Mahirap maglaan ng oras. Bago mo pa maramdaman ang sweetness, ang thoughtfulness at lahat pa ng “ness” you need to spare some time. Mahirap naman magpaka sweet kung wala kang time, diba? Kahit sa phone, in person o sa chat pa yan – it all requires time. Ang pagbibigay mo ng oras sa mga taong mahahalaga sayo only shows kung gano sila kahalaga. Yung mga oras na ginugugol mo sa kanila, pwedeng pwede mo gamitin sa ibang bagay, sa ibang tao, pero mas pinili mo sya. Madalas, sa mga tao ngayon, hindi na napapansin ito. Akala maliit na bagay lang, na simple lang ang oras. Pero kugn tutuusin, halos lahat di pagkaakunawaan pwedeng mag uga...

Speaking the TRUTH in LOVE

That's the topic in church last Sunday and it hit me bigtime. There are only two types of people whom you will have issues with. First. People who are empty of themselves. These are the type of person who have low self esteem and confidence and most often than not,m they tend to self pity thinking they're not good for anyone, that nobody deserve somebody like them. Thus, as an effect, they tend to leave people who loves them and people whom they love. Second. People who are full of themselves. In contrary, these are the type of person who have very demanding and commanding presence. It may be good at some point but in the long run, this type of behavior will make other tired since you tend to be hard to deal with. In all honesty, I tend to be the second one. I have very strong personality and since I am afraid to lose the one I love, I tend to manage the relationship on my own which is not good. And after hearing this and analyzing things that happened to ...
