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!

Say a little Prayer

Image
Last Sunday, I attended our Church’s service. As always, I felt like Ptr. Bong was talking to me. He reminded us that God want us to pray at all times, for in praying we talk to Him. It’s our chance to tell Him whatever we would like to say. And recently, sad to say, I had less time to pray. I am guilty. I feel ashamed. Just like what the Lord told us in Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 16   Rejoice always,   17   pray continually,   18   give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Regardless if we’re happy, sad, angry, terrified, lost, satisfied or anything, we have to pray. We have to pray to ask for guidance and most importantly, to glorify Him for everything. Starting tonight, I will try my very best to be more prayerful and to spare time for Him.

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

Twitter Holiday!

Image
I started using Twitter last May of 2009 primarily to avoid my ex then who used to work for Facebook. So I guess you can imagine what runs in my mind whenever I open my Facebook account then. I started with a handful of followers; got hooked following celebrities (yes! Certified fan boy! Haha!) and receive first hand chismis. Months passed by and before I knew it, I have more than 1k followers, been following more than 1k twitter users with less than 33k tweets. Whew!  I must admit I really really enjoyed the twitter world. I discovered a lot of thing about anyone. I met a lot of asshole people and a handful of good ones. But I guess there will come a time that I have to take a break. Twitter is no longer healthy for me or helping me. I can say that little by little, it’s tearing me apart and destroying me. So I guess I need to take a break. I need to stay away from people that will not help me improve and will just influence me to do bad things. I need to prioritize other things.
